err...popat

hmm - life's absurdities continue. many of you hung around the tv at 6.30 pm on sunday (those who didnt see the 11 am saturday telecast) to watch me on tv. but inexplicably, some bearded Deutsche bloke (no doubt Very Important to someone) yammered on about the indian economy and my poor friends and family and colleagues and who-all who-all had to sit there waiting, while the program Just Books just didnt get aired for its repeat telecast. It is scheduled for Monday 18th 6 am if you please. WTF?

Anyway. Someone sweetly (Sonia) recorded it, and I hope to put it up here. See, this is the thing about techie girls. They are smart, AND they offer to do clever stuff for you, and then they do what they say they will. Unlike most techie boys, who are as smart (maybe), but are butt-lazy, most times. They know the theory of how it is to be done, and are likely to shout enthu-ly down the phone to you - "put this cord in that thing and output the input and reset the whatsit and there, you'll be able to record it yourself" - they tell you. If you bleat that your tv is upstairs and computer is downstairs they say ohhh, so take one or the other up or down, no. Lazy, non-doers. Kind of Bertie Wooster with computer skills, is what they are. So thank god for Sonia and her ilk.
