silver lining to YSR's death

so..auto wallah in Delhi asked my friend today "Andhra kahan hai". She said "South".
Auto guy: "Woh kahan hai"
my friend: "madras ke paas"
auto wallah: "acha.. aaj tak toh madras ka hi sune the"

Moral: As one by one our old Southie CMs kick the bucket.. the north indians will realise...gradually but eventually.. that there are actually FOUR states and not one all encompassing "madraas".

Anyway.. due to YSR death its big news day and newsroom is like a fish market right now. Baaki I went to Andhra Bhawan on the day YSR died coz a friend was assigned to cover Andhra Bhawan and shhe insisted that we have lunch there. Wrong decision!!! Spent an hour stuck in traffic on Ashoka Road. When i finally reached, it was SO CRAZY at andhra bhawan. I assumed that they would be mourning and hence the canteen would be shut. But there was a serpentiine queue for lunch coupons!!! should have turned back then and there!!! But i had to get in and see fat, dark, ugly motu uncles sweating while they eat!! eerrrghhh!!! Disgusting.

And now m back at work.. no story to file today.. just bored! I need a job! BTW mili.. u should check out this months Frontline. great issue on H1N1 management in India and the effect of teh pandemic on public health care infrastructure- which is already crumbling!!!

Anyway.. tata people.
And guys....ur missing nothing staying away.. stupid apna haath jagannath is nothing worth fretting about! Yahan kuch nahin badalta.
