FEB 22-28 2009 UPDATES

February 22, 2009
LET’S SAIL THROUGH
Attended the Mumbai International Boat Show. The Entry Fees being Rs. 200 per head helped in keeping the disinterested away. There were boats, babes and of course loads to learn & imbibe knowledge from. Being the last day, the event registered amazing number of boat enthusiasts. Every one was allowed to capture images of the kayaks and other marine gears. Simply amazing! Venue: BKC Complex, Bandra
Verdict: Awesome

UNIQUELY UNFORGETTABLE
Another exhibition that held me spellbound comprised lots but under one roof. From impressive garments to attention grabbing potteries. Extremely well organised, it also facilitated payments through credit cards; quite an exception compared to other exhibitions. Consumer durables were definitely registering a huge number of visitors. Truly worth checking out was the eatery that dished out well grilled sandwiches and a special mention goes to a good looking female. Till date, I don’t know her name. But the way she enticed guests to the stall could put marketing personnel to shame. Her eyes did all the talking and her smile was infectious. While leaving, I bid her a good bye and she just responded saying, “Would you mind trying out dahi puri?” For a food lover like me, it was a slice of life offered by the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life. Aishwarya please take a back seat and make way for the stranger who knew exactly how to rule hearts!
Venue: Bandra Reclamation Grounds, Near Lilavati Hospital
Verdict: Fantabulous

HISTORY IS CREATED
Slumdog Millionaire wins 8 Oscars. A. R. Rehman brings home two while Resul brings home one.

Another Oscar comes to India because of the documentary Smile Pinky Smile.

India Rocks… Because it served as the premise for both. And still we complain of being an Indian.

Venue: Kodak Theatre, California
Verdict: Rocking

LIFE IS A BATTLE OF ODDS & EVENTS
Finished reading ‘THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SEX WORKEr’ by Nalini Jameela; herself a sex worker. I was totally speechless having come face-to-face with the problems commercial sex worker goes through. Men might be considered strong. But women like Nalini Jameela through examples put us men to shame. The woman is the creator. We should humbly remain grateful to her for having created us Men. It doesn’t matter whether she is a mother, sister, grandmother, a hooker or a sex worker… she demands respect!

Verdict: Stunned by the power of womanhood

BE POSITIVE & ACHIEVE
Started reading IDLI, ORCHID & WILL POWER! by Vithal Venkatesh Kamath…
Status: Still Reading

GOOD NEWS
My friend Nilesh informed he is soon going to be a father. I realised how time just flew away like the flight of flamingos. Just yesterday, we were singles… then married. Some marriages survived & some died a silent death. Relationships were established & then forgotten. But Nilesh survived and so did his marriage. With a new member soon to join his household, I pray to God he continues being the Nilesh he always has been – disciplined, humble & honest.
