Apropos of absolutely nothing at all I would like to say that as far as the Oscars are concerned India seems to be doomed to be always the bridesmaid — never the bride!
And apropos absolutely nothing at all I would like to say that it is just as hard to choose between Hillary and Obama as it was between Mukesh and Anil!
