yeah, it takes about 50 odd days for the transition from "just married to "totally harried". Good thing she doesn't read my blog....heheh
Anyway, I was watching this movie about the '93 bomb attack on Bombay, and I started putting together a mental list of some of the major events that I've "witnessed" in my lifetime. Here's what I came up with:
in no particular order.....
1. Pulling down of the Berlin wall
2. 9/11, 7/7 and other terrorist attacks
3. '06 tsunami
4. '01 Bhuj quake
5. Cloning of Dolly (the sheep, not Parton)
6. Gulf War I & II, Afghan "war" and all other wars where the US invaded other countries.
7. Assassinations of Indira & Rajiv Gandhi, Rafik Hariri, Sadat, Lennon
8. Deaths of music and movie greats (Kurt Cobain, Freddie M, RDB, George Harrison, John Lennon, Marley Sr., Utpal Dutt, Marlon Brando etc. etc.)
9. '84 Punjab, '02 Gujarat and other mass riots.
Do you recall any others?
Oddly, and sadly, most of the events involve destruction and death. More proof we're fluching ourselves down the toilet.

India winning the cricket world cup '83 and to top that Mohinder Amarnath winning man of the match or man of the series was it..
First football game I watched!! Maradona Hand of God!!
More to follow.
Now 1 for the future - Jimmy Amarnath used to play for baroda, he used to bowl military medium and could bat. Do you know someone else like that? IKP. He is gonna change the fortunes of our team circa 2011. 1) His job will be easier though, cause India win only at home!! 2) Someone needs to punch him a few times in the face so he looks as ugly as Jimmy!!
