After this they reckon it will be a man on the moon - an Indian man in an Indian spacecraft that is. So what if we're 40 years behind the US .... we're 40 years ahead of most of them African rotter states; only rockets they know to launch is usually aimed at their own people and fired from hand-held RPG's.

So who do you think would be the perfect candidate for India's first man on the moon? It's gotta be someone known yet expendable (given our track record for sending spacecrafts into the ocean). And right now I'd say the most expendable well-known Indian on the planet is none other than our very own crusader for the Marathi Manoos, Raj Thackeray! We'll spare Shahrukh Khan just this time.

Beautiful day outside. And the holidays just around the corner. No mention yet of what we're gonna get for Diwali ... though the buzz is, will you believe - 500 Rupee gift vouchers! Most people have already left for home, to hell with your bludy vouchers! As for me I don't know. I could spend the weekend chilling at a shack on Candolim beach, but getting a bus ticket to Goa right now will be as difficult as finding a Bihari on the streets of Mumbai. LOL, ok maybe not that difficult, them Biharis are hardy buggers, but yeah, it won't be easy.

Leo Sayer ... for Surbhi. Happy 26.
