I don't understand star quirks..really, I just don't get it. Earlier we had J-lo insuring her "Rear assets" for like a gazillion dollars.. now another diva has gone and done it. Mariah Carey, who's nervous breakdown, has obviously loosened strings both in her wardrobe AND cranium, now has insured her legs for $ 1 billion. Hmmm... thats 46 billion rupees. Gee, I think that's what all the states of South America makes in a year, drugs excluded !! Funnily enough, the insurance is only valid if she hurts her legs during her coming tour. So, what if she falls in the shower?
But it's not so unique anymore, is it? I mean, we keep reading really whacky dollar tags to the weirdest stuff nowadays so that this isn't even scary anymore. Lawsuits in USA frequently hit the million dollar mark and noone blinks an eyelid. Why abroad? Sachin Tendulkar just got a whopping Rs 180 crores last month, just for the right to be represented. I don't even understand the concept, so how the blokes who paid him will make their money back is beyond me too. Some guys have all the luck!!
Speaking of luck, I now officially have a "spiritual" ailment.. well, not exactly, but I don't know what to call it. All this while, I've just been thinking I'm having a really bad time. Turns out the "heavens" agree. A recheck of my horrorscope and subsequent palm-reading shows I'm due for the equivalent of 2 years of bad times.. now i know what it feels like to tell patients that they have a tumor.
It's tough to be critical. Do i just believe it and hide beneath the rocks for 2 years or take a risk and hope things work out.. Funnily enough, apparently my bad times are just due to start according to Mr H-scope. I always wondered, are our destinies really set in gold the moment we're born? Are we just playing out this elaborate dance for God's sake, even though he knows our every move ? Is there no element of surprise, no destiny calling ? Then why the grand pujas to WARD off evil .. or is that that too is "written in my books" to altar my future ? And does it ? Too many questions. No answers.
Me, I'm gonna do what I usually do.. pray for the best and cross the roads one at a time !! If ladyluck smiles on me, I'll reach the other side alive and this blog will still be functioning in 2 years with more fun times than sad. And if bad things do happen to me, well, " Hey, I told you so."
Last word : Ok, following closely on Paris Hilton being selected to portray Mother Theresa, here's the next "hmmm" casting - Monica Bellucci as Sonia Gandhi. I don't know if the BJP will be sharpening their tridents or wiping the mist of their foggy glasses on this one.
Me, I'm more interested in their common nationality's performance at the coming World Cup.. having a childhood affinity for Italy even though they're perfect under-acheivers since when I remember in soccer, I have minimal hopes of them passing the group stage itself in the next fortnight, but then - what's life without hope, eh?

I have actually liked Belluci.But I also wondered how she could come to portray Sonia Gandhi.Wierd! For once, ever since I thought I had some sense, I came to understand that hollywood is a circus full of dickheads....so no wonder they are all givin us such funny shows.
