Today's newspaper carries two unrelated items - I don't think one of them can be called "news" - that left me feeling sad, wondering at the follies of human relations.
Item one was a photo-news, the third IPL calendar and the auction of players. Exciting stuff, Kieron Pollard and the other players. Somewhere in all that, Ness Wadia and Preity Zinta, still co-owners of their team but now estranged and a cryptic comment by the journalist that they were not "sitting together". The photo shows Ness, Shilpa Shetty and Preity, the latter looking down and (am I imagining this) the look on Ness' face was one of longing...... I have always admired Preity as a person who has spunk and I'm sure there must be very valid reasons for the falling out, but still, one can't help feeling a tinge of sadness..
The other item, even more intriguing, was a PUBLIC NOTICE issued by the Family Court, Bandra. This relates to a divorce case where the wife is the plaintiff and the husband is the respondent. The notice instructs the husband to appear before the court failing which the court would issue an ex-parte decree. OK, so what's unusual here? Divorces DO happen, even her in India, right? What caught my eye was the notice shows both husband and wife are continuing to live together, the address was identical under both names. If so, WHY a public notice? What went so horribly wrong that this had to be made a public notice? I'm sure there must be some valid reason here too - bit still, this is sad, too, isn't it?
Today is Wednesday, the day for woe....
