Guess whose back. Big Daddy


So is it`s a comeback season. Wolverine was here for his origin, so was terminator.for salvation And back were Mammoth and weasel from Ice age for the mammoth ka mammoth baby . So came back the Optimus Prime and Megatron in company of Megan fox (with bigger assets than last time) to unleash the weapons of mass destruction.
But this is not what I was waiting for.
I was waiting for the most Bitched about athlete of all times. Aka Lance of Armstrong fame. I tuned on to unearthly hours, followed him on blogs and pounced onto his tweets. But Alberto Cantador broke what could have been Lance`s greatest race of all times. May be all comebacks are not fairytale.
May be getting 3rd is still podium for some people and embarrassing for Armstrong. A lot has been said in the press about un-teamly attitude of Cantador linkwhich actually deprived me of visual delight which I felt when Federer won this year`s Wimbledon.
But this post is neither for Lance. Though hes my fav athlete. Its for the Big Daddy of them all.
The ultra rich and uber cool. Schumi. How have ya been

Age of Superheroes


Re-watching season 1 of heroes last night I felt awed and inspired. Its credible that I dint feel anything the first time but I guess that’s the reason why the term rerun was invented. Moving on…so lets say you are standing in the middle of Mumbai roads with heavy downpour and a SPIDER bites you.
(And you go home and take a bath in Dettol water. Would you still become spider-man?? Also why not spider women I mean is spider a gender bias species? Are US researchers listening!!!)
Well since we are just dreaming lets keep the personal hygiene issues out of the way. Practical questions like if batman wishes to poop where does he park his batwings will not be entertained here.
So question is if you are given a choice to pick the Super Heroes/Powers which all you will pick. Dont ask questions like darned MBA`s saying it depends who is giving the choice or depends on how is the choice packaged ...say like Pranab Mukherjee presenting 1984 budget in 2009 which is now a legend in bad packaging industry.
Though at times I believe that I am a mutant with a short term memory loss and my powers inactivated by an evil magician and my life attached to a talking parrot caged in the caves of Canary Island.(why Canary Island?..its tax free dude .u can keep ur loot safe there).
Shall I become Super-man? And start an air shuttle service between Krypton and Earth
Or Peter parker with low self esteem and gorgeous girlfriend
Or Batman coz Bat-mobile is so cool and bat wings are useless
Daredevil. May be less read low box office earnings but still a Hero in Cat-women`s eye
Or Hellboy ..naahh too ugly
I should rather be Mandrake with invisible cloak
Or may be Incredible Hulk. He’s green. Eco friendly with euro IV emission norms compatible.
Or maybe just Chacha Chaudhary with Sabu parked in the porch.
There is less fun in saving the universe against being the manager and let somebody else do the cleanup for you.His brain works faster than the computer you see.
