Heartache...

...within the last one hour! Why?

1. Reservation Law passed: As expected the government didn't budge from its stand. The bill will be passed in the monsoon session and is expected to be implemented in June 2007. What a shame you have bought to the country, Mr. PM. The next 100 generations will remember you for entrenching caste into the minds of our people. You could have atleast initiated a non-partisan probe/survey into the matter of what ails our education system. But you chose to celebrate your two years in office and leave our doctors to die.

2. Indian team crashes: The so-called "world-beaters" are showing signs of strain. Crashing down to Earth with a thud against the West-Indies. From a respectable score of 173-3 in 29 overs, we could barely manage 246-9 in 50 overs.

3. No Fanaa: This eagerly awaited movie will not be seen in multiplexes. Mr. Yash Chopra supposedly became too poor to support himself and wanted to cash in by demanding a greater share in the ticket prices. The multiplexes already beaming at 150 bucks per movie refused to budge. The cinema-goers already reeling with such huge rates are just not ready to pay more. Why Mr. Chopra, do you think that your movies demand a special premium, when Rakesh Mehra of RDB fame could rake in 40 crores, part of it on a tax-free basis?

The only solace on such a day is the rising Sensex.
