Mumbai Dairy

This is my take on recent events and what's in store for the next month or so. Unlike last year, this year's superbowl went almost unnoticed. I didn't know about it until I heard of it from my sister. It was the bears vs the colts was what she told me. Don't know who won it too. On the homefront, the men in blue are preparing for the world cup of cricket to be held in the w.indies. Down under, Australia is coming under fire for recent flurry of losses. England, India and S.Africa and New zealand are the teams on a high after recent victories but the cup could be anybodys.
The oscars are also much awaited. Iam not sure who the contenders are this year. It's probably volver vs water in the best foreign film category. Brad pitt's babel too could be in contention. Clint Eastwood's 'letters from Iwo Jima' cannot be taken lightly either.
The tabloid's don't lose no time bringing us news about Hollywood celebrities. It was however, digg that first brought the news of Britney spears shaving her head. Aishwarya's engagement to Abhishek too is big news around these parts. Shilpa shetty might permanently settle in UK I guess the way the English have taken a liking to her. Or it could be that they want to compensate for the treatment they handed out to her in the Big Brother show. Roger waters performed in Mumbai on sunday. But I skipped it because he was before my time. I was prepped up on pink floyd in grad school and my first cd purchased was Pink floyd's 'The division bell'. By then Roger waters had retired and David Gilmour taken over. Still I remeber being transported to another dimension by "Shine on you crazy diamond" and the album "The wall" the last time I heard it. Life in Mumbai is going on and my work here should soon get over. I can't wait to get back to my desk as there's tons of things I have in my mind. Still there's a few good reasons why I might want to stay here a little longer. But that's a secret which I may share some other day.
