Absolutely Ridiculous!

October 7, 2008

Now this is absolutely ridiculous.

Its morning and i just somehow get a newspaper from my parents and brother ( they read too much!). I managed a Hindi one though, and then I see that the front page has the headlines :

Himesh Reshammiya ko aliens se apaharan ka khatra!

which means : HImesh Reshammiya is under threat of an alien abduction. I said what the..? I mean how do these hindi dailies manage to do such things? I mean with all the hell braking loose everywhere, with the Nano showdown, the bomb-blast accused getting arrested and all, how do they manage to sqeeze in stuff like this, and that too on the front page?

Since I had read the headlines, i did  go into the details. It said that Yevatmal Centre for Extraterrestrial Research ( some psycho Indian ET research centre ) claims that the aliens liked the high-pitched (read : Nasal) voice of the ‘capped’ artist and that this has raised the possibility of his being abducted by the aliens very very high! To quote Mr. Ramesh Mahadik, the director of the said research centre ,

Himesh is now becoming a point man for contact with extraterrestrials. None of the experiences I’ve seen are in the same category of what Himesh appears to have experienced. Himesh could easily disappear and then come back as an ambassador for their race.

Now this is the height. I mean who the hell around knows if the aliens do exist? Even if they do, how come Mr. Mahadik gets the ‘waves’ that aliens are gonna kidnap such and such person because of such and such reason? Ha! I guess he’s just one of those types who want attention, in any possible way! What the….?
