The House Always Wins

"Because the house always wins.
Play Iong enough, never change the stakes, the house takes you.

UnIess, when that perfect hand comes,
you bet big. Then you take the house."

This is the perfect prescription to take on what life has to offer.

Random Lungi Sighting ...

On a flight from Hyderabad to Chennai, I saw something worth a blog. I saw man wearing a sarong (lungi) boarding the flight ahead of me. Now it is something you won't see too much of in the North, unless you happen to meet our current Home/Defence Minister or their southern colleagues. Anyway, Hyderabad is South India and I chided myself for being surprised at this. Then I saw his hand luggage and immediately you knew I had material for my next blog!

The man was carrying a "lungi-holder". It was similar to one of those contraptions you would pack a suit in. But this was designed for those white formal sarongs or "mundhu's" that people down south would wear. Some of you might have seen it before. But this was the first time I had seen such a thing. My only regret right now is that I hadn't taken a picture of that!

Thank God I don't have a TV

Else I would have to had to see the sorry charade of a wife beating, coke snorting imbecile, whose only credentials in life are his father's name, being paraded around TV channels as the hottest new celebrity in India. Damn reality TV. #$#!@#!#%$@#$%#$

The fact that this show is still playing, means that a lot of people are watching it. Talk about society dumbing down...
