So finally...The Bachchan B-ash is over and I hope that the media will atleast now leave the couple alone. The wedding of Bollywood's most eligible bachelor with the world's most beautiful woman(that's not my expression, I'm just replicating what many of the leading dailies mentioned) had the whole nation talking all about it. From page 3 parties to people from villages from all over India ; everyone was going ga-ga about it. Who's been invited and who's been not was front page news in almost all the dailies. And so, finally on April 20th at exactly 6:13 P.M. the wedding took place. Across almost all news channels the same video clips were repeated again and again until you finally just got sick of it. Apart from the hype and hoopla surrounding this wedding, starlets like some Jhanvi Kapoor claiming to be married to Bachchan Jr and and a Abhishek look-alike all got their 15 minuted of fame. People from all over India gathered outside Prateeksha, the Bachchan residence where the wedding was taking place just to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars. When Bachchan Jr did a little jig on one of his songs to please the crowd, the fans were thrilled and thought that their journey was worth it. I sometimes find that these extreme reaction by fans are taking things a bit too far. My word of advice to the media now that the wedding is over--- JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE.
The teachers of Modern School Barakhamba Road have gone on a strike. Why??? Because the school management has decided to make every Saturday of the month working. I fully support the teachers because making every Saturday of the month does not really leave any time for enjoyment and relaxation except Sunday on which we would be completing our homework and preapring for our tests. I don't know what has suddenly struck the school management and from where has it got such an idea in its head. The school is functioning perfectly fine and we have been following this pattern for years. The school management is citing an example from Modern School Vasant Vihar which has every Saturday of the month working. Well, the students and the teachers must be used to it as the school has been following this routine for a long time.
What will happen about this mess....only time will tell.
Till then...
Recently my mom and I went to Pizza Hut for lunch. As we were busy in a number of errands before we had only just got time to grab a quick bite at 5:00 pm. They had a special offering-- A "Four Course Treat" for two. We chose the non-veg version of it. It included soup, garlic bread, two small pizzas and a choice of ice-cream. The soup, garlic bread and pizza were all very good and now it was time for dessert. We both had ordered Chocolate Fudge Sundae. We were imagining big scoops of ice-cream with lots of chocolate sauce and crushed nuts to accompany it as was given in catalogue which was kept on the table. We were in for a rude shock. What arrived was a tiny scoop of vanilla ice-cream with a bit of chocolate sauce over it. When we asked the manager, he started explaining that the ordinary chocolate sauce was not so ordinary and lot of effort had gone into making it which was called fudge. We were so disappointed with the dessert that all the enjoyment which we had during the meal was lost. We vowed never to fall prey to wrong advertising.
