Today I am sick with a cold and strange sore throat and don't know any gharelu nuska to get better. Anyway, I do think I am better than yesterday, for yesterday (all my troubles seemed here to stay) and I couldnt think of touching the computer, and today I am attempting blogging which is great!, good!, all said in the ecstatic american tone which they use even when replying to a casual how are u and about which neither the questioner nor the replyer care about. I mean, in their scheme of things, this brief but happy conversation would hardly matter. I have just finished reading Mr.Psmith by PGWodehouse, I mean just finished only yesterday (when was sad and I was lonely), and his twist of sentences has got to me. + for some reason I am showing off my knowledge of songs..

Do you know that Northern Rock has been nationalised? Imagine if Northern Rock wasn't a bank, and was just a rock lying towards the North of Great Britain, and finally the defiant rock was finally getting subjugated to the laws of the nation and becoming a legal part of the system. Tourists would now be allowed to book passage to this great formerly rebellious rock, with some risk still involved of course, what with the recent developments leaving it a tad bit unstable too.

Ok, I think I should rest now. Oh yes, I saw Jodha Akbar on Saturday, along with a full house of many other South Asians in a theatre in Ilford, and atleast the ones sitting around us looked like us - non born and brought up in UK, and speaking freely with an Indian accent, in Hindi or English or Mallu or Tamil, and behaving irritatingly by jerking the seats in front with long legs or just badly arranged legs, and not taking hints to change behaviour. Actually I think Indians in India are better. The movie was good actually, with Ashutosh Gowarikar employing or deploying his typical humour in places where he thought he should.

Well, I really should save more sensible posts for a more sensible frame of mind and presently the slow shutdown of the brain is not helping towards that.
