Eagles or Mark Knopfler or Norah Jones?

Eagles coming to India!

Sumit Bhattacharya in Bangalore | February 07, 2005 15:05 IST (Rediff)


Sting may have left crowds in Bangalore and New Delhi begging for more, but the swell season continues for rock music enthusiasts in India.

The Eagles (best known in these parts for their anthem Hotel California) are due to tour India, possibly sometime in June, according to sources close to the proceedings.

That is, of course, besides the Mark Knopfler treat confirmed for March first week.

The former Dire Straits frontman (who, we hear, is Sachin Tendulkar's favourite musician) with one of the most instantly identifiable guitar sounds in the history of music will play in Delhi and Mumbai. He has returned to music from a near fatal motorcycle accident last March with Shangri La, named after the studio the album was recorded in.

Bangalore, reeling from the imminent live band ban, is going to miss out.

There are also whispers of Norah Jones, Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter who created a sensation at the Grammies with her debut album Come Away With Me, performing in India.

"She is, of course, among the smaller artistes who the event managers are in talks with," say sources.

Man urinates his way out of avalanche | The Register

Man urinates his way out of avalanche | The Register: "Hot on the heels of the tremendous news that beer can help fight cancer, we are delighted to report that a Slovak man trapped in his car by an avalanche urinated his way to freedom after working his way through 60 half-litre bottles of beer.

According to Ananova, Richard Kral was off on holiday when the snow swallowed his Audi in the Tatra mountains. Initially, he tried to dig his way out via the car's window, but soon realised that the snow would fill the vehicle long before he could break free.

Mercifully, he had stocked up on essential supplies of alcohol and quickly formulated a cunning plan: 'I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there.'

Rescuers eventually found Kral staggering drunk on a mountain path four days after his ordeal began."

It's a zu ha ha being here anyhow

15 numbers tickets procured...for the grand zu ha ha on Feb 4, 2005, Palace Grounds, Bangalore (gates open at 17:30). They've actually got the following printed on the tickets:

"9. The consumption of alcohol or any other banned substances is strictly prohibited."
"11. Smoking is strictly prohibited."

(zu) HA HA HA!

1 numbers free suggestion: How about we create a songlist for this gala bikang event? Might be of use during the roadtrip that precedes it and revelries that follow? Similar strategy should be adopted for Inees' B'day bash and all Bikang events in general.

Junta could submit requests/mp3s and a nominee/volunteer DJ could compile a songlist out of it and burn to CD. That way we'll have a musical album of bikang history. Wotsay? Here are my requests:

For Jan-22:
Some Queen, Some Dan, Still Diggin on James Brown - Tower of Power (Live), We are the world - Bikang version, It's your birthday (?).

For feb-4:
Any or all of police (except 'Every Breath You Take'). Anything from 'Ten Summoners Tales'.

-V-

P.S. I propose that we use the concert weekend to settle the long standing bikang dispute: Who sings zu ha ha better - Sting or I?!

P.P.S. Trpr Psaignn, well done with the layout - the future is bright, the future is Lime Green!

P.P.P.S. Cost per ticket 900 + delivery charge per ticket 25 = Total 925. Kindly repay in cash as I can't deposit cheques or do transfers. Peace.

Clothes do make the man?

Or Skins do make the blog? Does anyone agree with me that this new skin is a little serious and straight-laced - two things bikang definitely is not? Looks sort of like an IT company's message board or something.. or is it just me?

Ta-ble Ten-nis, Table Tennis Now Begins........

Continuing in the sporting vein of the CUPtrophy, Messrs Sriram and Koidy have come with a TT table (jointly owned) and have also provided two community raquets. Table is located at residence of Sriram (alternate cricket venue) close to Nageswara park in Mylapore. Sportsmen and women are invited to display their skills at the table. It is recommended that own equipment is brought by whoever happens to own some.

Bikang CUPtrophy - the More-or-less Halfway Point

As we arrive at the end of the second day of play in Bikang CUPtrophy 2004, we have seen the emergence of some key and some not-so-key idiosyncracies in the teams and the players involved. We have also encountered issues with rules, interpretation, implementation and overall enthufunjoyaggropassion. Of course, as is the norm with all things Bikang, the CUPtrophy event has fallen victim to several instances of craziness brought crashing down by laziness. I must pause at this point to credit that last statement to our own Zeb. Continuing, here are the top 5 lists of key and not-key things from the first two days of Bikang CUPtrophy 2004, both in no particular order.

Top 5 Key Things

1. Stellar Newcomers - Special mention must be made of the newcomers to Top-T cricket who have distinguished themselves with bat and ball over the first two days, proving that it is not as difficult to play here as the veterans pretend it is. All it takes is to be mother-key players. Sriram (Silphosia RUM), taking over for VicP, has established himself as the hardest out in this tournament so far. Narendra and Bonnie (SOSalamia) have literally turned in great shows with the ball.
2. Spirit of Competition - Overall standard of competition has been high, and teams have shown excellent sportsmanship in their conduct during the opening stages of the tournament. One hopes that this will continue through the rest of the tourney, when the stakes are raised much higher. A round of applause for the umpires for maintaining firm control over the proceedings.
3. Ling - While we were playing cricket, he was out at Marina helping with relief efforts for folks affected by the tsunami.
4. Wretch - Besides being the only woman in Bikang CUPtrophy 2004, she also organised all trophies and Om-rolling activities. One understands that her intoxication limits are under strict supervision during the tournament, but let's all have a drink in her name.
5. Groundskeeper Willie - Also known as Shengu from The Place Above, for organizing cleaning of TopT in time for and during Bikang CUPtrophy 2004, with able assistance from whoever it was that assisted him (write a comment with those names).

Top 5 Not-key Things

1. Tsunami - While we can't argue with a tidal wave the size of the Indian Ocean, we can most definitely curse it for all we're worth. So this bitch comes in and takes out the Eastern shoreline of South India, and kills or ruins a few thousand people, and then comes back the next day for more. Not key at all.
2. Computer Manoj - Not to blame proprietor of The Place Above, the aforementioned key Shengu, but lack of crowd noise, music and other such distractions are a blatant disregard for playing conditions, and I recommend a severe reprimand for the computer by BCCB.
3. Bikang Manojes the National Antheths - Laziness defeats the craziness, as Zeb said, by most teams ignoring this rather important idea of being a nation. But what is there, let's play some tough and drink off, raa. But what is an oath without an O-th?
4. Blog Inactivity - First captains chilled off like goats on the request to nominate a blogger, and then blog volunteers manojed twice by leaving scoresheets at the venue, thereby no longer having a reference for match reports. Maybe we'll pick it up as the tourney continues.
   
5. Rule Interpretation - While most rules were drafted very carefully, interpretation of these rules seem to be an issue. It has been a source of delay/interruption a couple of times already, but hopefully all problems have been sorted out and fixed in time for the home stretch of Bikang CUPtrophy 2004.

Completely Unofficial Halfway Awards

Best Fielding Team - MMJOSHI
Best Batting Team - Silphosia RUM
Best Bowling Team - SOS
Best Newcomer - Sriram
Best Batsman - Sriram
Best Bowler - Shengu
Overall Dude - Ling, for recognizing that it's just a game.

Flash News - Karunanidhi is apparently not dead, but is threatening to die off and unleash his minions on a violent glass-smashing spree in a desperate venture to resurrect his not-dead spirit from its deep-resting place in an IV drip bottle somewhere in the ICU at Apollo Hospital. I think it's because the minions don't know which glass container to smash.

Other News - Labdee, one half of the D's, has decided to attend all games and participate as one of two scorers. The question is, will her evil employers, OT (OverTime), share her enthusiasm for Bikang CUPtrophy 2004? Stay tuned, folks, the battle has begun.
