Of things unimportant ...

Its the dawn of a new era. First there was BC (Before Christ), then there was AD (Anno Domini- Latin for "In the year of our Lord"), and now there is AA.

Lost? Read on ...

AA marks the birth of a new epoch, a time that started with the coming together of two angels. One, whose beauty is unmatched in the entire world, and the other, whose charm is unchallenged.

Totally lost? Read on ...

Im talking on none other than Abhishek Bacchan and Aishwarya Rai. It wouldn't be wrong to call them the first couple of India, what with Mr Kalam being a (proud) bachelor and no one being interested in Mr Man Mohan Singh.

Rarely has the "coming-together" of two people caused more furore than till now. You would have thought they were the only humans left, capable of procreating, and hence the weight of propagating the human race rested on their shoulders (or a little down south .. for all those starting to think of shoulder pads as contraceptives). Its amazing ... actually, its positively mind-frigin-blowing how much was, and is being written about the conjunction (this post is another case in point ... dammit!!)

My mom was the first to tell me, but then I can hardly blame her. She does give me the daily fill of whats happening in India ever since I moved to Atlanta. It was more of a general knowledge thing, so that her smart little boy din't lose face while talking to his ab-crazy (Abhishek Crazy duh!!) and ass-obsessed (Aishwarya-Obsessed double duh!!!) friends.

Then I saw it on every website from rediff to indiatimes, from howtokillyourmotherinlaw.com to scrapingcockroachremainsfromthefloor.net. It was in the news, and the newspaper. The indian cab driver in atlanta, who dint quite know the speed limit on the freeway, knew all the juicy (read boring) details. News rooms were flooded with blood written notes from male fans and hospitals flooded with slit-wrist female fans.

And then some inspired, enterprising, resourceful and absolutely i-dont-have-any-work idiot coined the name, that we know them as .... "ABHIWARYA"!!! I mean ...wtf...isn't it ... (dammit, breathe man, breathe)

But then again, this could be fun ........... evil-glint-in-the-eyes kinda fun. Think of what other names we could come up with!!!

Disclaimer: For the sake of this exercise, and for fun (refer above), the author reserves the right to name such people as couples, whom might never even have met. This is being done with the utmost humility and the pun is totally intended

Aamir Khan & Gracy Singh: Gra-mir
Shahid Khan & Kareena Kapoor: Sha-reena
Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif: Kat-man
Ajay Devgan & Kajol: Ajol
Akshay Kumar and Karishma Kapoor: Ka-kshay
Dharmendra & Hema Malini : Dhema
Raakhee & Gulzar : Gul-khee

... feel free to add more
