Of THE Marriage

"Ash and Abhi tie the knot"- The headlines read.
Am I interested? Well, yes I am interested. For the past few days there has been nothing more in news than the marriage of one of, now quite a few, Indian Miss World and a man, whose grandfather was as revolutionary in thoughts as with words, and whose father's movies, I, like many others, grew up watching. But this is certainly not what interested me. I was dying to see it get over. It's been quite sometime since an important 'pillar of democracy' ceased trying to peep in to 'Prateeksha'.

They didn't pay any heed to others' attempts to grab headlines. What about the 'Big Boss', huh? Now known in UK, she tried her best that people in India too start recognising her and the 'AIDS campaign' with Richard Gere provided the perfect platform,literally or otherwise, to launch herself, just as Janet Jackson had once shot to fame. Sorry dear, your timing couldn't be worse. People cast a glance at the photo and turned the page. On second thoughts, maybe she was trying to tell us, " This doesn't cause AIDS".

The gunman in the States too, though now known throughout the world, or at least wherever newspapers are published, could not convince the desi editors to grant him some credible space in the country with highest newspaper readers. Bad timing for you too, dear ummmm.... don't remember your name. Anyway, better luck next time man.

Jokes apart, my heart goes out to poor Sallu and Vicky. Have you any idea what they would be going through every time they pick up a newspaper or a magazine or switch on the TV or radio. Vicky feels sorry for the time when he blasted sallu in front of the media for trying to convince him in a not so polite manner.All he can do now isn't much, unlike sallu, who may decide to go for another ride in his car. Now since he couid not vent off like sallu, rumour has it that that he has protested against Hello mag for offering to cover the wedding and has cancelled his subscription of the same . Can the media ever comprehend the magnitude of pain and sympathy these two guys feel for shekhu? Sadly , I don't think so.

I'm sorry for other wannabes, whose name I didn't mention. Well I too, get my info from a newspaper and I could not sympathise about your failure because you did not succeed.

Sallu: Salman Khan, the driver

Vicky: Vivek Oberoi, the actor

P.S: Thank god the marriage is over. Could not have taken any more of it.
