Adding perspective to "Timelessness"

Firstly, I'd like to apologize. Why?...Here's why. When I started this blog, I spoke about how I would somehow keep it running with a steady stream of articles. But, no. It wasn't meant to be. Some wise guy said "To maintain a blog is tougher than bedding a giraffe". He was right.

I can offer a thousand reasons for not coming up with new stuff. But I'll go for the timeless classic. I didn't get the time to do it.

Now that I'm here again, I might as well get down to business. This one's about beating around the bush. Some people call it time wasting tactics.

Before I point what I think is time wasting, I'd like to speak about our new President, Pratibha Patil. She's old, crinkly and ugly. But then, most Indian politicians are. And like most Indian politicians, she comes in with a not-so-clean slate.

Apparently, in her hey days (that must have been a while ago), she started a bank, gave out loans to friends and family and then wound it up. Neat, huh?..This is just what the doctor ordered for the BJP. In the past two months, they've come up with three-and-a-half booklets and one website about why we shouldn't have Pratibha Patil as the government's rubberstamp. None of the people who voted for her cared. And sadly for the BJP, this number was huge.

Meanwhile, in UK, Gordon Brown took over as President from the peace-loving Mr.Blair. The English have come to their senses, finally. America, on the other hand, has no such intentions.

Good ol' Bipasha "Bips" Basu got jiggy with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. No no, they didn't kiss. Don't be silly. She was whispering about Indian culture into his mouth. That's all. Nothing more. Come on, man. Can't a pretty (horny) actress and a horny (pretty) footballer be "just good friends"? John Abraham was unavailable for comment.

Hey! Hey! Hey! what were we speaking about?

Time wasting tactics! That's what.
