Speed of (lime)light

How fast is life ?
Very Fast..
Very is misleading..
Rhyme it with 'speed of light' and u wont be off target by much..

How long does a high profile news stay in the limelight ?
Not more than a week - howsoever big it is..

Take egg-samples:
1. An almost clean sweep of the Ind-Pak ODI series by India
2. Bird-flu hits India
3. Jesica Lall Case (now is it Jessica Lal or Jessica Lall?)
4. Budget of India
5. Bush Visit to India
6. John Howard's visit to India (somebody tell me who is that!!)
7. Sensex crosses 10K ( Oh.. is it sooo costly?!! )

The news channels are in a wild rush to update you with the
LATEST news.. And every news they show you is a
'BREAKING NEWS'. Wonder what they r breaking..

One thing is sure for sure :-S
V R in a FAST world

Tailpiece: On the Budget day at 8PM IST, I msged M saying
'ice creams, pepsi n cola are cheaper post-budget'
Dhud came the reply 'Budget is tomorrow, idiot'

Did somebody say Ignorance is Bliss ?
