Midnight Ramblings

Have you ever read any of the message boards at Rediff's? No matter what the topic of discussion, invariably it all boils down to religion (particularly the hindu-muslim rife) and/or anti-Rediff posts. It is really curious to follow the thread of discussion from the movie review of a seemingly-innocent Disney movie to a full-blown war-cry over the message board between self-confessed religious fanatics. Do NOT ask me the connection between the two, coz I am as perplexed as you are.

What's the fuss with getting your most flattering photograph taken? I am particularly shy when I have to stand in front of the lens, and I can not understand the people who simper and smile their best smile once they are in focus. Digital photography was a God-sent for such people. I personally know some guys (and I include dudettes, too) who actually delete snaps which are not-so-flattering and then pose again (yes - in the same place and the same pose) for another go at it. Sigh!!!

It is well past midnight in India and before I get certified as an insomniac, I should turn off the lights (Nelly Furtado is amazing!) and get some sleep. The following days are going to be busy because I start the whole rigamarole of relocation, yet again, tomorrow. The secret will be out soon. Patience, my dear Watson!

PS: I discovered a song of Asha and SP Bala called "Chain aap ko mila". It is unbelievable!!

Totally agree with you on the rediff front. The boards are a dirty & politically biased place.
