Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.....

...is perhaps what Karan Johar had in mind. Unfortunately for him, there's no known way of keeping audiences glued to your film forever.

I-Day

As reported by the TOI.

Why do I find this unsurprising? No doubt, some government employee must have sold, discarded or otherwise gotten rid of the flags in question. Some babu in the post-Independence age must have neglected to issue any directions how and where to store the flags. Worse still - but more believable, nevertheless - that babu must have never realised the significance of those flags.

I wonder what Ambika Soni is going to get by initiating a witch-hunt after 60 years. She's pointing to the Army. The Army was, if I may point out, on 14 August 1947, possibly more confused about what to do than the ordinary man in the street. And I guess more than half of its officers were British who wouldn't have had a care in the world with what to do to with the newly-hoisted Indian flag.

So apart from a pat on the back from Mrs. G (which is very probably the hallmark of success within the Congress these days), I'm afraid all that the overzealous Ms. Soni will elicit is another mud-slinging match.

Wars and pieces

So, Fernando Alonso's Hungarian GP got done in by a loose wheel nut.

The Congress (Indian National Congress), in comparison, is looks like it's going to be done in by a loose, vile Nat.

Whiners!

For someone who has mostly had retirements, some flame-outs and more memorable crashes to show for a largely unremarkable career, Kimi Raikkonen was sure quick to condemn Michael Schumacher, who was docked 2 seconds after Saturday practice at the Hungaroring today.

And the reason for this? Schumi chose to "ignore" the red flagging of the practice session because yet another hot prospect (for the sixth year running) found the going too hot. His engine failed - yet again.

It's time the FIA introduced yet another rule for such whiners: if you don't win 10 races in 5 years, out you go.

Ummmm, let's see. That would leave - um, er, ah.....golly, it would leave only Schumi, wouldn't it?
