Charlton Heston

Wanted to pen at least one line yesterday....

I first saw him in Ben Hur during my college days. To me he was the most handsome man on earth and one look at his Ben Hur character tells me that he still is. Don’t know what makes him thus and dont know how many times I have watched that movie.. it is still a favourite of mine..

The never ending tragedy...

Who says we are a democratically elected country, when Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Sunday admitted that she would have liked to have her son Rahul Gandhi enter the Union Council of Ministers. But he opted out, preferring to concentrate on party work. And he and some other newly inducted ministers have no other qualification other than being born to influential politicians.

Oh yet another sacrifice from the Nehru family to be eulogised. But don’t we all know that this is only the beginning. Soon we will hear the name of Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate and come elections the Congress by default will have none other than him to offer to the voting idiots (not me since I have no voting rights LOL!)
