What makes the headlines these days yaar.

Pointless news that made me laugh today.


1. Ballboy at the Australian Open had an "accident"

The poor kid will now live a life of embarrassment and will be humiliated by all his peers, and family. Doesn't stop it from being damn funny though.

2. Ban porn websites says CJI
While fate of some of the country's biggest problems like corruption and poverty, quite literally, lie in the hands of the Supreme Court, our Chief Justice has decided it is more important to make it known that he thinks we should ban pornographic websites.

True, this may be offensive to some. And also true, this may need a solution. But maybe these websites, and some other literary material, are the only aids to help some of my more frustrated Indian brothers, who otherwise have an annoying inclination to greet me every day with their usual pleasantries such as "Ey, Chamiya!" or "Kahan jaa rahi hai tu garam masala?".

3.Preity Zinta gets stuck in airport toilet

Yes. Yes. This made entertainment headlines. Because madam decided to tweet it. Though, hilariously, she points out "People were calling out my name". I'm guessing then she said to someone, "Get me out of here. Don't you know who I am? It's me, Preity Zinta." (And then the crowd gathers and starts to chat, "Preity, Preity, Preity..." chant in your head- or aloud- with increasing frenzy.)

As you can see, the weekend has been very productive.

PP Addendum:
In other news, the phrase for the rest of the year, or at least for as long as I can remember is "Yeh toh shit ho gaya yaar." All credit to Oswald. Who believes this is how I secretly talk anyway. Now that I am morphing into a Punjabi kudi.

And also, if you don't know what a PP is, HAWWW. See here and here.
