Episode 103: The Cat From Stardust Says

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are marrying! Going by the reams of paper already dissecting this piece of news, I won't be surprised if the Times of India runs a nationwide contest to guess the exact time the nikaah is to take place!

But before they do, let's dive into both Saif and Kareena's lives.

Saif played it safe with a marriage and children with Amrita Singh for quite a while. And then lo and behold! He ran off to some distant land to shoot and shot himself in the heart with a bomb of an arrow called Rosa Catalano. The bomb went off and its consequences were difficult to conceal from the media: Saif and Amrita divorced, Miss Catalano ate up space on page 3 of every newspaper and Saif more or less looked like a man mesmerized by a curvaceous Italian spell.

Naturally, like all curvy delicate things from Italy, the spell broke and Saif realized what he had done! As for Rosa, she went from a demure lass to being Miss Fiery Mouth and so burnt all that she could have had.

As a result, Miss Catalano is now nowhere in sight. The sightings that did involve her were so miniscule in their importance that had it not been for a certain small tabloid, she would have not been noticed at all.

Anyway, in the meantime, Kareena finished with her love-shove for Shahid Kapur. Of course we all know it was because of his authorative shove that she left him. Women hate being pulled around like the bogies of the Orient Express. They prefer being part of an equal push-pull mechanism. But Shahid, being the boy he was then, did not comprehend that. So, he went on telling her to do this, not to do the other, to slim down, etc, etc. And in the bargain, she slimmed down her association with him and then cut off ties with him completely.

And one fine day Saif and Kareena meet, sigh, etc, etc, and fall in love. So far so good. They look great together and they do dress like the couple we all want them to be. But, I am not too sure whether Saif is a safe choice - he too seems quite the Mr. Dominating that Kareena left Shahid for. And I doubt Kareena herself is as demure as Saif wants her to be. Her firebrand image is legendary and she pulls out all the stops bad and worst when it comes to making herself clear.

Whew! We have a battle in the making. But before that, let's see whether the bells will indeed be ringing.:)
