Deferred News,Nevertheless

Sanjay Dutt getting married to an already married Manyata Devi.Absolutely brilliant coverage by the media I tell u and the media were going all gaga about it. All happy that Sanju Baba finally tied the knot for the 3rd time (not sure,pls check).But the funny part is that one week later we get news which says that Manyata’s First husband has filed case against her, accusing of her that she hasn’t filed a divorce. Some more interesting facts were that Manyata had got their marriage (with Sanju) registered in Goa, where the law says that if they are to have a divorce in the future, then the wife gets half-share of the husbands property…pretty cool ah…must say quite an intelligent girl.

Some more pretty Interesting news, Madam J (Jayalaitha), turned 60 this month and she visited a temple in Tamil Nadu, which couples visit when either of the husband or Wife turns 60 and then they exchange garland.Media reports suggested that Madam J did exchange garland…guess with whom…? With her near and dear friend sasikala…Daal mein kuch kaal hain….! AIADMK’s rival got this golden opportunity and the rest is……….

Media is all crazy here in India, there are some copy-righted news items which are to be broadcasted once every week. There is one channel that has got loads of interests on the WWF jerk Khali, who despite of his huge dimensions looses all his fights. Then you have one channel trying to prove that Lord Ram existed and he was the engineering mind behind the Sethu Project. Goddam…!!! Now to add some more spice to this news, we have some another channel trying to figure out what route did Hanuman take to get the Sanjivini? I mean its fine to see these kind of articles once in a while, but why to repeat it again and again…? Another guy in the news was O.L.Weed…I salute Bhajji of getting the better of these spoilt brat and successfully getting under the Aussies skin.One advice to Hayden,ours guys wud'nt have understood what that meant....:-)
