"At the stroke of midnite hour...
When the whole world sleeps, India awakes.." ~Nehru

Jus' wondering..what abt the timezones??? hehe:)

Hmm. Its 12:30 AM.
Armed with the remote and propped up on the couch, I gingerly surf the TV channels.

Glad that Discovery was back in all its flavor :)
[Coupla sluts at I&B ministry made Hindi narrations mandatory for nearly a year..dumb!]
They were running a documentary over the assassination of JFK.
Expected a rivetting video..

5 mins..10 mins..

All they ran was a black & white video with people waving gleefully at Kennedy & wife
and them waving back with equal zeal..

And then baam!!!!!!

They captured the exact moment when he was shot..!
But wait a sec...Why the heck is Mrs. K jumping outta the car????

Trrrrrrrring! Ma landline in the living room screeched..
Who's calling at this hour?

Me[with one eye on the TV]: "Helo?"
Phone(y): "Sssssssh!"
Me: "Eh?"
Phone(y): "Sssssssh!"
Me: "Shivaram? Arun? Bastards, go sleep.."
Phone(y): [Some muffled tone]

I slam the phone and go back to ma quest.

Phone(y)[in a whisper]: "Talk to me!"
Me: "Wait a sec"

I fish out a CD of heavy metal..
"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath guzzles outta ma music system.
I pick the handset and drop it nearby.

Now...where was I...
