Tahoe Shahoe

methinks Hindi is one of the few languages that insists on limerickism in normal speech. Delhi hindi more so. Idhar Udhar and aaju baaju notwithstanding, you can pretty much apply the sing-song mode to any word that threatens to be a monosyllabic answer or hasnt satisfied your self-made goal of 20 words per sentence. Shoe voo? khaana vaana?ulta pulta and the list goes on..and if you are bang in the middle of the likes of Carol Bagh or Palika bazaar, you probably wouldnt be surprised to listen to tahoe shahoe, football shootball and suchlikes. Lets therefore declare today to be a limerickize your speech day.speaking of insane days, here is the official list for September sheptember.

Went to Tahoe like i said (did i?) with a sugar-high bunch of wannabe volleyballers (excepting two masterplayers).did a LOT of fun activities that included volleyball on Sat afternoon, Volleyball on Sunday evening and Volleyball on Monday morning.Played Trivial pursuit, at which i stink,not because of lack of knowledge mind you, its just that i am big on divulging competitive intelligence (a new word i picked up on the trip)..anyways,a couple of trivia i picked up,
which bodily function can reach the speed of 200 mph?

So Clinton went ahead and had a heart surgery over the weekend, hez 58 btw. its weird what CAN bring heart problems about..you would think for Clinton its stress and suchlike, but had an uncle who was a yoga instructor once who had a heart attack..hmm..disillusionment comes in strange forms...

Was stuck in an unfathomable traffic jam today morning, in time actually to tune into NPR's report on how bay area folks spend almost 70 hours a year in traffic. ay area also 2nd most congested area in the country..and they dont even have buffaloes and baarat shaarats on the road yet.
Vijay singh is the champion golf player btw..hez an NRI and rediff is going ballistic as usual - will someone please tell them to STOP? why cant they just report him as the next big golfer than slap him with a desi label and add him to the hall of "desi leaders in their field".

Today's quiz btw..a simple one for the post-vacation blues..
where is the world's tallest hotel situated?
New York, Dubai or Seoul?
