Rakhi ka swayamvar

I knew it ! It could possibly have been none other than the Toronto Businessman. I always felt it was pre-cooked as one wouldn't want to risk their life by marrying any body turning up for a TV reality show. I still feel, she knew him before and wished to tie up with him and helped NDTV Imagine make a show out of it by gathering some set of folks!

Whatever, I must admit, I have watched the idiotic show , if not all, at least quite some episodes for the sheer fun that gave to see the pretentious bride-to-be!


When it was the D-day ( the latest one) of Rakhi's life to choose the groom, The emcee asked the gathering to stand up to wish the couple-to-be.

"Are people going to sing National Anthem that one has to stand up?" ,I said.

"No... it's a stand-up comedy!! That's why. Now, stop adding to the TRP of this funny show!", he said.

Moment of Truth

In a restaurant, last saturday, I witnessed a true test of character and someone passing it too. Good food relished with the family. When it came to foot the bill, the person called the waiter for some clarification. As the case normally would be, I thought there was some mis-calculation and some dish being charged more or charged for extra rotis that were never ordered for. The person promptly told the waiter that the cost of Chicken Biryani was not included in the bill and asked him to get that included.

The waiter was so grateful for the person for having helped him out from being in a soup.

It really made me feel good, more so for honest act being of my husband. I appreciated him for it and he said "I know, the restaurants however over-price things, they will not lose a penny by missing out on billing one of our orders, but I really pitied the waiter. When the manager tallies things and gets to know, he would be rebuked. Why get that done, knowingly?"

Speaks volumes of the person he is, isn't it?
