10 things I laughed about

1.As we were flooded in by rainwater, the dirty water polluted our ground floor water tank – for 1 day we had no water to drink but had internet and telephone

2.Mumbai bhais danced to the tune of the police siren in the song ‘Aey Ganpat’ from the movie ‘Shootout in Lokhandwala’

3.The Pakistani captain apologized to all Muslims over the world for losing the T20 cricket world cup finals

4.‘Eklavya’ was sent to the Oscars from India – this was as good a one as Saif getting the National Award for Best Male Actor in ‘Hum Tum’ or ‘Jeans’ being sent to the Oscars in 1995(?)

5.A Star News Channel newsreader, while wondering about the identity of M. S. Dhoni’s unknown friend, mused thus while on air – “Kaun hain ye ladki? Kya ye unki behen hain, maaf kijiyega, unki dost hain?”

6.It was announced most solemnly by a TV news reporter on 1st October, 2007 that the police suspect black magic to be behind a murder

7.Star News (again?!) aired an item on the men is Sushmita Sen’s life on 1st October, 2007; excerpts of a conversation (not the exact words, mind you) between Sen’s father and the presiding magistrate way back when the lady adopted Renee –
Judge – How can a good man now approach your daughter?
Mr. Sen – I am assured now that only a good man shall approach her.

Going by this, and the Star News report that Sush has had 7 boy friends, humanity has 7 good reasons to be proud

8.‘Rang De Basanti’ was aired on 2nd October, 2007 on Star Gold

9.Bheja Fry – watched it finally. (Others are welcome to laugh about my out-datedness… :-D)

10.Heart is one organ that does not suffer from tumour – Devdas would join me in laughing at this one
