Super-short Kurtis
One of my friends had gushed about "FabIndia" during our recent conversation. So on my recent visit to a mall, I decided to take a look. Unfortunately, this particular outlet wasn't big enough and had a look of a warehouse. I didn't like trying anything out. So I went around once.
As I was heading back to the door, one of the shelves caught my attention. On it was written "Super-short Kurtis". I didn't venture to see exactly how long (or short!) a "Super-short Kurti" was because I generally don't waste time on things which are no concern of mine. But I wonder if they are just short enough to expose part of your belly when you waive out to someone because anything shorter than that should not be called a "Kurti" :-)

CVC or PVC?
Confused by the title of this post? Well, you need not be. PVC is Poly Vinyl Chloride. One website lists one of its properties thus:
PVC is useful because it resists two things that hate each other: fire and water
With Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) P.J. Thomas digging in his heels and refusing to quit, I think he is displaying PVC like qualities by being resistant to both - the government and the general populace - who incidentally, hate each other, just like fire and water. :-)
I distinctly remember a slogan seen on one of the trucks long time ago:
सौमे अस्सी बेईमान, फिरभी मेरा भारत महान!
I guess these days, it is more like:
सौमे निन्यानब्बे बेईमान, फिरभी मेरा भारत महान!

Uncle Sam's Cable!
Read this:
"And at the same time, India is assuming more of a regional leadership role and a global leadership role, which we welcome and encourage," Clinton noted.
That was 7th October 2010.
And now read this:
WikiLeaks has quoted a secret cable in which his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described India and its three partners (Brazil, Germany and Japan) as "self-appointed front runners".
This is 30th November, 2010.
Wonder what would this Secretary of State of world's "self-appointed super-power" will say now. Will it be "Oops!" or will it be "Sorry"? :-))
