The news at this hour

Gmat topper has topped the charts in the company's 'charity show'. However that has made him desperate than happy. According to latest reports, Gmat was still trying to find out how many more stars are there in the horizon.

The poor man on the bike, who will swear for Gmat's honesty, was contacted by Gmat. After telling him the name of the second charity winner in Mumbai he was asked, "who got it in Delhi?" PMOTB had no idea and could not feed him with the info. Gmat, meanwhile, kept it a secret that he too was a recipient of the 'Padma Bhushan".

Meanwhile, Gmat's girl chatted up Imelda to find out the Delhi winner. Ulta Chipkili told Imelda that Gmat and a certain James were the winners in Mumbai and then asked, "how about Delhi?" Imelda contacted this correspondent for two random names and was given two names -- Bajrangi and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. After Imelda passed on this 'information' she was greeted by laughter. Ulta Chipkili was certain that Bajrangi and TTLS were not of the same calibre of Gmat. After Imelda took a serious tone, U Chipkili was left wondering, "Is my man only as good as TTLS?" Meanwhile, she has told correspondents, "Life is beautiful." Our correspondent understands that this means that there is an airconditioner in her house now to cool her during the workout, because she had said "sultry days" earlier.

Art critic and reviewer Sasi Tiwari has threatened to stop writing reviews for his magazine over a certain letter to the editor that appeared in the magazine. Mr Tiwari is supposed to have told our correspondent that he was terribly hurt at the insult heaped on him after he had done a wonderful job. It is believed that Mr Tiwari had for the first time in his life used the spell-check and hence was all the more miffed that people were taking pot shots at his work. According to an agency report, Mr Tiwari's resignation letter got rejected as the magazine editor was unable to figure out that it was one.

Ice-cream sales in Delhi has soared ever since Stud has seriously started courting Alanankari. Mother Diary MD, in a statement here today, said that the company is making emergency arrangements for supply of ice-cream from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to meet the demand.

Fancy Friday and Bajrangi who went missing last Friday, were seen frolicking at a mall in Noida, according to lowly-placed unreliable sources. FM is reported to have asked Bajrangi for his credit card in exchange for holding her hand. The touchy guy refused as he believed that he could get touchy for free as long as he enjoyed the patronage of Rotawala and Rakshas.

The Asterix village has been left poorer with the departure of Funky Monkey. On the last day of his show in Delhi, Funky had dinner with some close associates. Among the participants was a mobile-friendly girl who reminded this correspondent of Donald Duck. There were reports in a section of the press that Funky is courting her and was running away to Chennai because the chase was over and Funky was no longer interested in Donald. Funky has denied these reports but not that he is courting Donald.

According to another unreliable source, the Hill Goat tried to get Funky to act before he left for Chennai. Our correspondent tried to look through the keyhole but was unable to see if Funky did act. An expert, however felt that it was unlikely that Funky would have done it: "It's quite unlikely that Funky would have succeeded. You have to remember that, after all, Funky is a monkey. Goats are much more virile and active in these matters. Their mountainous origins have made them surefooted in all what they do."

That's all in this bulletin. Keep reading and do send in your comments and feedback!

Sat Sri Akal!
