Finally, Cal jus round the corner
Perhaps the less romantic origin of "honeymoon" is the one that appears in etymonline.com, which claims that honey refers to the sweetness of the marriage, and moon refers to the changing aspect-no sooner full than it begins to wane!!!
There is another source that traces its origin to Babylon 4000 years back, where for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, which coupled with the fact that they followed a lunar based calendar, resulted in "honeymoon".
How many for reviving this 4000 year old practice, with suitable changes to suit the times?? ;D
Certain readers of this post might remember one particular near-midnight tryst in the not-so-distant past in an inebriated condition, and the ensuing hilarity. Frightening(:D) to contemplate the possibilities if the practice of "sozzling" oneself was to be endorsed by the bride's father.
The ICC certainly has put the cat among the pigeons with its latest "rule change". The thought just popped in that it, if implemented in our inter halls, might wreak havoc-player to be substituted will not enjoy it!!! Not that i care too much but a new headache for captains.
Another pole for Alonso, another Grand Prix missed for me.
Finally decided to get out of this place. The last few days are the toughest. Academic productivity dropping exponentially throughout today. Got a week in cal to put the mind where it belongs-at rest. Started planning for it yesterday. Btw, for those who have not tried it, try conferencing on YM; if everybody has something to contribute, you can have the roar of your lives with confusion reigning supreme.
S called up today, and we thought of getting an old pal from school drunk. Strange the way clandestine ideas just roll off our heads. Her memory's going my way, asks the same stuff thrice in three days. But seriously wonder if we can put one of them into practise-we've planned for too long and done nothing. Would be fun...
Renee Zellweger is placed at 7 in rediff's list of the most desirable women. Thought she should be at 1. But I guess that's only coz i saw me, myself and Irene again today. Strange thing, though, saw Drew Barrymore in Never been kissed, and wondered why she was not there. And will somebody please tell me why Nicole Kidman does not figure in the list??
BTW, for those interested, there's also a most desirable men's list.
Sorry, distracted right now coz C just came online. More later.

conferencing on YM is cool. did that a number of times with your school senior.
drew barrymore's kiss with adam sandler in the wedding singer is the best kiss that ever has been filmed. so she should have been there.

these lists are very highly subjective.. as are our tastes.. if you saw renee with the weight she put on for Bridget 2.. she doesn't look that desirable at all..
