GB: Let’s go easy on the name calling shall we Baba. Also with this pig fever in the air, mommy doesn’t want me to take any chances.

BB: So the news has reached the whitehouse eh? Since when did you get petrified of diseases like us mortals?

GB: Just don’t want to be taking any risks that’s all. You humans don’t spare even animals and then let their illness mutate with other viruses in the human body. What results in is global panic and epidemic alerts everywhere. Do you realize more people die due to illness, hunger, accidents and other calamities daily that his pig fever of yours has claimed in a month.

BB: Your smart wit and intelligence never fail to surprise me. I see you are one of those who like to make observations like these and smirk in delight on the weight of their comments assuming to be the first to discover the silly statistic. How about you go tell this to your buddy Indra so that the denizens of Indralok don’t go running like headless chicken the next time some demon king launches an attack. As per your logic more people would have died in the impending war anyways so why panic and run amok! Indralok reminds me, how is our boy mai-ka-laal jaikishen doing, has he taught Indra’s damsels the moonwalk yet?

GB: Ah the misunderstood genius, I hear he’s been telling people of the ways they make him feel these days. You people may disagree but then like they say all things come in a package and his negatives seemed to outweigh his positives. But then he had overstayed his welcome and his legacy is unparalleled so let’s just leave it there. What grabs my attention is that I hear your people are being ruffled up at airports, so now you know how it feels to be humiliated for logistics problems with transportation!

BB: Haha how nothing seems to get past you Gunny Bops, well it’s true famed persons are getting frisked for their surnames. Why the concern you may ask, well you see we are so used to being treated royally since the ages of kings. It continues even today and the elite always get preferred service and breeze through checks and formalities. I guess we are ourselves responsible for putting them on a pedestal and worshiping like demi-gods.

GB: Well I can’t complain can I! My entry every year is heralded with processions, flowers, chants and incense. Thereafter for a week to ten days, I am treated with utmost royalty and fed with the choicest sweets in pure desi ghee as thousands come to see me of course for their material gains. Its always a school/college admission, exam tension, office promotion or an impending wedding in the family. Ah they don’t call me the remover of obstacles for nothing so I guess the business model works fine. I can possibly remove them all except animosity between warring nations. You people seem to be doing a darn good job at  it though by singing praise to leaders on the other side of the border.

BB: Ah you cheeky pachyderm, never miss a chance to put me in a spot do you. Occupational hazard I guess, but there lies the irony. If you asked someone during the wars or the partition if someone would acknowledge the intent  leave alone sing praise to a leader from the Land of the Pure, they’d tell you that the remotest chance of that happening would be when pigs flew. Since since pigs have very prevelantly been flying in your stronghold in Pune where the epicenter has been traced to, this was expected.

GB: Now don’t you try to pull a fast one with your favorite past-time of connecting the dots, and drag me into this quagmire. You don’t kill a man who’s running toward a cliff and similarly when the party is on self-detonate mode, this just acts like a spark plug. With leaders defying authority and a mutiny amongst the ranks, wasn’t such a thing on the cards? You talk of the right to speech, freedom of expression and all that junk that looks good on talk shows in news studios. What you need though you may disagree at first is a strong whip, a force that can reign you in and restore order to the ranks. A leader needs to rise that others can look upto with a cool demeanor and calm visage. Like they did in the west, but then its not easy to unearth an overnight mein Obama !

BB: Well said G-Money, for now lets just say that this swine, flu over a cuckoos nest! Until next year lets just drink to that…

Controversial or not, artificial nose, kids etc I care a damn. Irrespective of how an individual he is in real life, his videos r top class! Put aside everything n laud him 4 wat he does the best, churning out gr8 songs.

The last album ‘Invincible’ recieved lukewarm response but on the whole MJ is still right up there. Any1 who has seen his videos like Liberian girl, Smooth criminal, Blood on the dance floor, Black or white, Earth song, Thriller, Remember the time etc will surely agree.

But wat made me really stand up was his performance at the 1995 MTV Video music awards. That was the first time i saw MJ live on stage n boy it was mind blowing.

If u still don’t believe me then go get a VCD of ‘ghosts’. Yep it’s almost like a movie but 30 mins long. Choreography, the make-up, Sets n last but not the least the music all superb…

MJ wen u sang ‘give it 2 me’ i didn’t realise wat u meant but now I give u all the respect i never felt like giving u b4.

MJ u rock!
