Dhoni, Obama on a roll, Kuwaits still dusty

Who the **** is Dhoni?

To the cricket ignoramuses, Dhoni is currently Prince Charming of Indian cricket. The Twenty-20 World Cup winning skipper notched up a whopping 1.5 million $ on the first ever bid on World Cricketers for the IPL (Indian Premier League). I-no-monkey-Aussie Symonds came a close second with 1.35 million $ being dished out for his head. The richest cricketing administration (BCCI- Board of Cricket for Control oops Control for Cricket, whatever **** that means, in India) is surely getting richer. The best Cricket marketing gurus without doubt...we taught the world Kama-sutra, now we will teach them game-a-sutra as well.


Obama is happy and why not? He won a predominantly white Wisconsin and followed it up with a Hawaian thrashing to Hilary, who is currently looking hilarious with her health care and free-panties for women promises....Oh Honolulu! Thats 10 in a row for the savvy Nig*** with Kenyan Cousins. I am happy, this is a welcome black fly in a creamy-white american soup...vely vely tastee tastee... Clinton, where is Monica, make her your wife's campaign manager.. she could pole dance you to the Oval office again...get the intern from her hiding place Billy Boy. Cigars never tasted so good.

Talk of Cigars, reminds me of the biggest Habanero of them all- Fidel . Fidel Castro. The revolutionary.

Castro says he is stepping down, tired of showing his finger to Uncle Sam for a full 49 years. Some middle finger that! Must be sore as well! Will Raul go the demo-way and turn INFIDEL? Experts on the subject doubt it very much. I love the Castros, for they had alone had the balls to stand up to the might of Unliateral sanctions imposed by the Big B. 40+ years needs balls of steel, they spark when they clash together.

Three dusty days in a row, has brought in African wheezing into Kuwait, the dusty feeling in the throat is not a very comfy experience you suee. The skies look blue this morning amidst a wind-chill of 6 degrees (ie 4 degrees off the actual temp). Kids School have planned an outing to Souk Sharq' s fish market, told them to watch it on Discovery Channel instead, not worth the stench and of course the stakes of falling ill are pretty high as well.


Kuwaitis are gearing up for a foam, part pop canister holidays.....hey guys! Please please spare the poor unassuming expats, spray on your ilk as much as u like....U guys have the dough to clean up later, we dont! More later today..cheers

Dark & Dusty

Beep-beep, Beep-beep, Beep-beep......I lazily turn over in bed hoping to catch a few more winks...

A decisive tug at my feet, yanks the blanket off me on a rather cold 'end-of-winter' morning. Please baby...just 5 more mins, I drawl, my eyes still closed, stretching out all four limbs of my pajamas.

Ok! She says, Just 5 more, only 5...your time starts now. No sooner than she leaves, beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. My Timex's set for 6 am.

Shit! Can't this darned thing wait? I get out of bed...walk over to the kiddos bedroom, both blissfully asleep. Its a beautiful day as she taps me from behind.

Here! Drink your water.

My daily morning dose of Hydrotherapy, 1.25 liters of water in a brass pot. Will wash away your hypertension, claims my hypotense wife. I guzzle till I can feel it fill up my oesophagus.

In to the living room, my TV is already on, a bollywood couple gyrating in intense heat, the canine-like male sniffs the wet-white female all over, strategically stops at her bosom and move aways. Don't change the channels, I hear her scream from the kitchen.....

Too late...my fingers on the remote already..unstoppable....CNN announces Rhetoric Obama's 9th successive victory over Hilary. More rhetoric, resounding applause, its a tight race Wolf Blitzer says. Obama leads.


PPP leads in Pakistan, no great surprise this. Musharaff is gracious in defeat, this a surprise. Elections seem free and fair- the biggest surprise of them all. Musharaff vows not to step down- no surprise again, Imran Khan - wordmeister, has no choice but to carry on with his Tehreek-e-insaaf (Movement for justice). Will it be Zardari, the cunning thug whose only claim to fame is his now assassinated wife and his swindling of millions of Pakistani tax-payers money?

Press 17...Cricket

Highlights of India posting their nail-biting win over Lankan Lions...Mahela, the self-help manicurist. Chew on!

Force feed the elder one his daily bread and Omlette, pour the milk down his gullet. Breakfast over...run 4 floors downstairs to warm up the Subaru, saves the RPMs wasted. Its dark & dusty outside, mercury reads an Ominous 13 C.

Upstairs, The lil fellow is up and smiling with a cricket bat in his hand, wants his elder sibling to bowl at him..Kiriketh, goes the 1 & a 1/2 year old...the 5 year old brother gleefully obliges.


We are a lil chirpy nuclear family, happy at first sight..plagued by own share of miseries- thats for later.

Todays gonna be a dusty day....the blogs will be updated twice a day, morning and nite...wl feature the latest happenings in town, eateries, at the family place, grapevines, the sub-continent, Bollywood, Cricket and of course the run to the Oval Office as well...We might even delve down under to check on how Rudd's faring since his apology to the stolen generation...India shining, while the stock markets trade in red, my personal portfolio is headed southwards as well...


I've got to drive my wife to office- see you folks in a bit
