Aaj Ki Aawaz

Imagine the emotional roller coaster the families of those kidnapped in Iraq are on. Who jumped the gun to announce their release???? The cardinal rule in such hostage negotiations is - it not over till the hostage steps into your/neutral territory and announces that it is over himself or herself. Till then never let anything distract the lip from the cup and never take the cup for granted!!!!

Rajaa ki aaye ki baarat aur Laloo hogaa saath magar Renuka Chowdhury naache gi (like they dance at weddings) …..well this could be a reality as Rahul is under pressure from Mum and Sis to get hitched. Rahul of course would like to enjoy the last few drops of his bachelorhood….though officially he would blush and say that at present he has no time for marriage as Mulayam is all that he has on his mind.

One piece of advice….Rahul should stay clear from any advice from Laloo on starting a family and on the size of the family. Laloo advises that a family should be as large as possible…..he laments that people jibe him that he could have had a cricket team….he says that but for starting a little late and then the charraa ghotaala , which slowed him down, and now this forced separation….. he could have arranged an full fledged in-house cricket match ….two teams and even a few spectators….he and Rabdi would have officiated as the Umpires!!!!

News from WTO…..the guys there say that Jaitley was good……they say the man meant business…..Kamalnath seems to be behaving more like a tourist….sites , shopping and some trivial matters…..they wonder is he there for the WTO….World Tourist Organization!!!!!

Tel Maalish…..sar jo aapka chakraye aur dil dooba jaye ….after getting thrashed in matches!!!! Well Indian team has outsourced a Pakistani masseur!!!! Is there a shortage of 'maalish waalas' in India???? This is an Indo Pak Goodwill measure!!! Hope they now do not start outsourcing players….. the Rawalpindi Express could become the Borivili Fast (Mumbai fast local train) !!!!!

By the way Miandad seems to have made an impression on Balaasahib. Balaasahib has said that he would have no objections to Pakis playing in Mumbia provided Miandad was the Captain……Miandad is past his prime….so Pakis will have him officiating as a non playing Captain in Mumbai…..and mind you Miandad has the vocal chords that will carry his expletives to the third man standing on the far side of the ground from the Gallery!!!! Miandad meeting Balaasahib was sponsored by BCCI….cosponsored by…. Mumbai Betting Association!!!

Hulka Fulka……Uncle Sam has just made joining the Army 'attractive'……well in case Americans want any cosmetic surgery join the Army, this will be 'on the house' for the Army…..because Uncle Sam feels three fourth of the battle is won if your Army looks good!!!! By the way in Iraq it is the balance one-fourth which is like a thorn in America's foot!!!!

Mahima Chowdhury says that while she assumed that her affair was a singles match with Leander…Leander was actually playing one against two match!!!! Leander says that the worm in his brain …..for which he had surgery…..is responsible for his two timing !!!! Mahima agrees wholeheartedly……that is what it made him into!!!!
