Sporty Enough R U?

2nd Nov 2008
I was looking at this pic of this woman..Sarah Palin..and somebody was telling me she is a hockey mom.That set me thinking.
Mom who plays hockey..mom who can teach her kids how to play hockey..mom who watches hockey
on TV..mom who..ok..wow..

But,
what has hockey or mommys or hockey mommys got to do with elections? , I fail to understand.
But,
my being a so dumb will not affect the American Presidential Elections.Lucky guys they are
:-)

Back home in India, I found a serious problem. The President of India, Pratibha Patil's life
was under threat from some anti-national elements, while she was visiting Pune recently.
Aww, with all due respect to the Jai Maharashtra spirit, Pune is in Maharashtra and Pratibha
Patil is quite the Marathi Manoos, but thats a different story.

So, as I was reading this piece posted on a news website, I happened to scroll down to
comments section, where a reader cheekily commented, "Who knows her(Pratibha Patil)??
hahaha".
Well, of course, she is not cricket mom or crickety mom or whatever.

And then, may be Mrs Gandhi can be the "hide n seek mom", and Mr Raj Thakerey can be the
"Catch me if you can dad".
Mr Advani and Mr Chiranjeevi can be the "marathon (read Rath yatra) dads", although
Chiranjeevi needs some real practice.
Mr Somnath Chaterjee can be the "dog in the (wrong) bone dad". Mr Laloo can be the "cricket
dad", given the fact that he has the honour of having a cricket team right inside his house.
Mr Modi and Ms Banerjee can be the "Catch-Throw Dad-Mom" respectively.
Ms Mayawati can take the title of the "refree mom". I coudnt find anything else for her :-).
Add to this list we have a whole Lok Sabha of circus dads and moms.

One of my dear friends is pregnant and has me worried. She wants to be a "Tennis mom", and I
dont want her to be the next president !!!
