I intended this entry to be fun and frisky with humourous accounts of my attempts at cutlet-making, waiting in a hotel lobby for an hour for a table and other similar study holiday exploits. So you’ll have to forgive me for being a little non-frisky and telling you that I also spent some of the best moments of my life in an obscure little ice cream parlour, French loaf, Flower Drum and sneaking into schools.
Things are never going to be boring. I’ve discovered that not everything happens the way you think it will and sometimes, the way it works out is much better than the way you expected it to.
I’ve also spent a lot of my study time catching up on the nation’s doings in the newspapers. I am sick of seeing Sashi Tharoor, Lalit Modi and Sunanda Pushkar on the front page everyday. I mean really, do we have no better news to cover than IPL scandals and scams anymore?
I was surprised when the more important news of Sashi Tharoor stepping down as Minister for External affairs was not given as much space in the front page as details of the 70-crore ‘sweat equity’ and Tharoor’s alleged relationship with Pushkar.
IPL sucks. I don’t have anything against cricket as a sport but as a commercial money-maker and as an entity which holds the power to sway the politics of a nation through not very commendable means, I feel that the basic principles of sport itself have been tarnished.
