Some Sizzling Scintillating Speculations

I got the above pic as a fwd. QUIP:BCCI has announced Rs 100,000 to anyone who can help them to find whose HAND it was... ??? Sooooooo Guess and Win ------------------- Hi all! Sorry I haven't been blogging(Posting and visiting my favourite blogs) regularly since I came to Baroda, but then,that's what happens when : 1. You don't have a net connection at home.(Imagine the complications- first,you apply to BSNL for a landline.That comes after a period of 2-3 days(Of course,that's much better than the days when getting a phone connection after a year, was an event to celebrate), you get the landline. It doesn't ring,of course, till you go and say the 'green waala thanks' to the lineman. After this, you can apply to them for a broadband connection, which I did two days back.
