Back home!
Home is same as it was when I left it 10 months ago. Still love this city in spite of the traffic and in spite of the fact that I was in NYC for the last 10 months. Home is home and there's no city which can beat Bangalore city. The Bangalore airport is opening today and wish it could be named Kempegowda International Airport instead of the current name. Even if it's not, the current name is good enough, though the founders name would have added a more local touch to the airport. Apart from eating and speding time doing nothing, I am looking forward to watching an IPL match live at the Chinnaswamy stadium ( inspite of the fact that the Royal Challengers are royally getting trashed ). The Champions League final yesterday was a boring game (inspite of the papers saying something else). European teams lack charm and play a mechanical, predictable game. ManU is such a boring team to watch (adding to the fact that I hate Ronaldo). I might have appreciated the game if maybe Chelsea won it. I am sick of watching Alex and his red devis play the same boring game every season, and winning and winning again.
I thought Aamir Khan was one of the few actors with some sense and dignity left from among the Bollywood stars. Not until he made this amateurish statement on his blog about a dog named Sharukh licking his feet. Grow up man.
The press seems to have become more dumber, just reporting news, with not an iota of originality or independence. Be it the defence ministers statement about China or the cross-border firing by Pakis, the press just "reports" news. They sound worse than statements being read out on AIR. Congress has added another feather in it's cap by stating that Afzal should be exchanged with Sarbajeet. They are the Congress. They have a family tradition to keep up with and always try hard to appease minorities and play filthy politics. I just hope the BJP wins the Karnataka elections. Counting's on Sunday, we'll know !
