A quote and more plugs

One of my favourite newspaper quotes from recent days is this one by Abhishek Bachchan, in a coochie-coo cover story done by HT City:

I still wake up in the morning and revel in the fact that I share the same room as Aishwarya Rai.

Why not simply "Aishwarya" or "Aish"? "Aishwarya Rai" makes it sound like little Abhishek is still the 17-year-old boy who gawped at the freshly crowned Miss India World back in 1993 and thought "How cool would it be to have HER as a roomie?" Now I imagine the first thing he does after getting up each morning is fist-pump and yell "Yes!" She even pays the rent on time, he probably thinks to himself.

(Going by this story, I think S Sreesranth would approve of AB's choice of roommate.)

Anyway, this is silly nitpicking. While on dream couples, here are two plugs for my wife (who has never once told a newspaper that she revels in sharing the same room as Jabberwock Singh). First, a wellness blog she recently started; it's still at an experimental stage but expect lots of spa reviews in the near future, and possibly a guest post by me about my Ananda stay three years ago (but definitely nothing about this experience). Second, a link to Abhilasha's page on Muziboo, where she's uploaded a couple of her songs. She hasn't seriously pursued what could have been a very promising singing career, but I'm hoping she does at some stage.

Back on the 24th. Blogging will or will not resume then.
