Delirium : A Jerry Maguire moment

So whats it all about ?

that's how Jude Law's movie Alfie ends, with that rhetorical question! Isn't that the top question on the top of all our minds at some or many points in our lives ? It should get something like the top all time question (think keyword) award from Google, Yahoo and MSN combined.

The same weird feeling that Tom Cruise had in Jerry Maguire that one night when he just couldn't sleep and ended up battling his delirious mind and conscience by writing a company memo. No I am not trying to write a righteous memo here. But hey how do you battle your own conscience when nothing seems to make sense ?

On a lighter note, good won over evil or at the least over deceit last night when the nice and helping couple Achaean & Joyce Agu won THE AMAZING RACE over Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly. That made sense, huh ?

What did not make sense over the last few days ?

- 6 people killed in a home in California in a bizarre incident
- A freak plane coming within 3 miles of the White House before getting diverted
- Toyota posted another fruitful quarter of profits while GM and Ford stocks got downgraded to sheer junk
- The never ending Michael Jackson trial. Don't we all know by now : "He's done it all"
- Renee Zellweger getting married in a secret ceremony to the 4 month love of her life Kenny Chesney
- David Letterman continuing to have gallons of paint thrown from the top of the theatre where his show is filmed
- Save the best for the last: "HSBC is in the news for a 4 day bank strike in the UK over paycuts and layoffs"

Alright no this is not a news service blog! But hey betcha you guys did not know that the script of a recently famous Indian comedy movie called "Munnabhai MBBS", which I really liked a lot by the way has been purchased by 20th Century FOX for reproduction in Hollywood. Now that's a first!

Oh something has caught me by surprise! I haven't been blogging at all in the recent past and I still have some visitors on this blog of mine. Why is that ? Ahem not because of my prolific writing of course. Its a few keywords that are bringing people to my blog and they ain't real pretty. The top clinchers are "420 friendly" and these are words in a post on "what is 420 friendly", apparently a very American or Californian phrase that I had no clue about.....

Until next time when I promise myself I will devote more time to revamping this now kinda ageing blog of mine :)

This question is answered very well in the book (and now the movie) "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe."
The answer is "42.".

Goog for Achaean & Joyce. I personally wanted Rob & Amber to get it. I agree that they are evil, but I am a Survivor FREAK!

California massacre - F#%*ed up
Freak Plane - What happened to the lasers that were supposed to warn the pilot?
Toyota nad Ford - Are you surprised??!!
Makhanlal Jaikishan - Of course "He's done it all!"
Renee Zellweger - What about Jack White?
Letterman - Funny
HSBC - I have no reaction to this at all

Good for Bollywood! "Munnabhai..." is pretty good. I can see Adam Sandler playing the lead.
