Walk Like An Egyptian !

Feb 2011.

Meri Jaan, Wishing you all a Very LOVE-filled month of February. Its time for Valentines Day !

If you are still wishing others Happy New Year, wake up people. It is February ma-love !!!

And it seems this year is going to be a great one.

First, I got to meet Mr. Amitabh Bachchan at his residence ! Oh yes, so I got an invitation to meetup with the old man at his new abode called Janak.

As I sat in his meeting room looking at the poster of Sarkaar and all the award trophies, I thought to myself what an amazing 68 yr old man and the energy that he still has for life.

The best part was my daughter screaming "Anthony bhai -Anthony bhai - Daddy is that Big B? and I smiled 'nd said Yes Meri Jaan!

Think about it people, 1975 to 2011, and this 5 yr old kid still laughs hysterically at the Anthony bhai antics! Thank you Manmohan Desai for giving us Anthony bhai !!

Well, we will talk more about that some other day, on the next news front, the continued Julian Assange action with ongoing WikiLeaks update was good to catch up; Oho - not the Ranbir-Deepika-Sonam spat, but, if you ever expected to know the names of all the Swizz Bank Account holders, this is our man !

WikiLeaks brought forth the power of freedom of speech and what an effect all over the world! Thank you Tehalka for taking the cues and finding out about other accounts in Liechtenstein.

Again, though politically the scams are very short lived in the minds of people and specially in apna des, atleast some more news came in the forefront with the 2G scam, Adarsh housing scam, ISRO scam, and the oversized Kalamadi loot !

While the loot in India continued, the third and the biggest news of em all was the Egyptian Walk . Like they say, if Mummies ever walked pyramids would come down. Egyptian people seriously showed the world the power of people.

The world woke up to the stunning demonstration and political walk to bring down Mr. Hosni Mubarak, and what a Mubarak walk it has been for the people of Egypt.

Whatever said and done, this really goes out to the people of Egypt. Egyptians walked all over the world from Times Square in NYC to Tahrir Square in Cairo, and down came Hosni !

So, the world is eagerly awaitng that post Egypt, who is next in line? Sudan, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan or Iran...one thing is clear that the Egyptian walk must have given the US a strategy and push to destablize the already in-peril middle-east??

You dont need armed action - now its time for the people movement !!

Meri Jaan, with all these topsy turvey political affairs going around the world, please dont forget this is the month of St. Valentines, so do something special for the love in your life and I am referring to that special one in your life.

Romance ka mahina hain, tou whether you are singing tujhe dekha tou yeh jaana sanam or tumse milke aisa lagaa, my loeve birds, stay awake, alert for this year is going to be a BIG one, but most importantly, stay in loeve !!

This goes out to Ms D: Aye Kash ke hum hosh main ab aane na paaye, bas nagme tere pyaar ke gaate hi jaaye !!
