Helluo...Welcome back.
fundoo post...essence of the day captured in style!
also on display was patriotic fervour with one non resident nationalist prodding a bunch of unsuspecting chaps to attack the only colonial symbol with a vengeful 'phaado yaar'. the chaps understood the intent jit, when they realised that the shriek was a bit too much even by pre-1947 standards...

How come you always spare "Our very own Tip-U Sultan" in your blogs? or is it that u'll only write good things about him even if he has paid only once.....

Yes the shriek was really something. My ears are still ringing.

I never spare him. The Ramayan post was dedicated entirely to his antics - after he refused to pay the next installment of blackmail money.

Motley and Swats
I am getting an inferiority complex after reading about your fascination for potbellies. Perhaps you should look at other dimensions of personality...like countable ribs... sailor what say?

We don't expect to bother about malnourished creatures when there are so many more funny versions available.

Anon:

Thanks, but please identify yourselves so we know who it is that we made jealous.

It was an awesome post, an enjoyable read even to 'outsiders' like me.
