Bonggo and Guru,
Sorry I am 'butting' in to your conversation but I too think the movie P & B was really good. Enjoyed it a lot. The best adaptation of the original Austen's novel is supposed to be the BBC series with Colin firth, which I haven't watched, but I thought this movie was a cool Indianised adaptation , and it was perfect in that sense.
The songs were fun too. And some of the dialogues.... including the famous lines by the pompous 'Yankee' dude who boasts about the size of his house and swimming pool : -))
what is life, without a wife :-))
and I think this director is one girl to take note of : her movie 'Bend it like Beckham' was just superb.
But back to business, Bonggo, I would like to whole heartedly endorse your suggestion : with the SA tour coming up, it's time we pulled up the socks and got ready to battle. and I also suggest that Dr. A's temporary vacancy to be filled in by our able and sweet Petiya. I do not think you would object.
But I have also noticed that while Ananda turns up for practices almost daily now, one half of our opening duo Lula has gone amiss. Any news?
Dr A,
Hope you'd have a wonderful time in SL. Have fun :-))

Bonggs,
You missed the added reasons,
11. Moustaches are not traditional in the white house.
12. What would people say when they are invited to a White House spaghetti dinner and they find onion barji's in their spaghetti!
13. More importantly, they wouldn't allow miss world classes and dancing around Bushes in the White House. |

Jills,
Yeah they went unnoticed. Thanks.
They also cannot find a bachelor Nuclear Physicist these days in America!
Captain,
I agree wholeheartedly to replace Dr. A with Petiya. No need to ask Guru, he will endorse it immediately.
Must reprimand Prince because he is irregular in practice.
Lula the stand is opener was arrested by mistake at the Madras Airport. They thought he was arrying drugs but it turned out to be his talcum powder tin. I am flying there tonight to bail him out. He will be reporting for practice in two days' time. |

Bonggo,
Prince was here a couple of days back, right? We should not reprimand him- he has very delcate feelings :-)
We have to give him a chance-he will turn up.
In the meantime,please use all your powers to bring back our opener Lula. If you need more help, feel free to ask Ruwani.
We shall humbly request Guru to conduct a special pooja for Lula's safe return.

Captain cool,
Yeah he was here couple of days back. Before that he was here last week, that too only once.
Bowling only once a week is not sufficient to be an all rounder, we need daily constant practice.
Dont get bowled over by his delicate feelings! |

Never Argue with a Woman
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides
to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.
?I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with intimacyual assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the game warden.
'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think. |

Capithan, Good to see your back & my appologies for not being able to attend practises as much as I would like to. Had a few problems these few days ... anyway I know i can always count on you. By the way, senior or not please do not give into some of the adivse provided to you especially by the underworld mafia leader ... Don Bonggo. I know as long as your captain my place in the team is secured. Also , I know that under your captaincy we can beet the South africans & also win the oneday series. I will be attending practices regularly from today onwards.

END OF THE DAY
Is anybody happier because you passed this way
does anybody remember that you spoke to them today
the day is almost over, & its toiling time is through
is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you
Can you say in tonight in parting with the day thats slipping fast
that you helped a single person of many that you passed
Is a single herat rejoicing over what you said or did
does anyone whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead
Did you waste the day or use it. Was it well or sorely spent
did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that god will say
U have earned one more tommorrow by what you did today. |
