Love, Cheques aur Mauka

This Ayesha aka Maha is one cool operator. First, she allegedly trapped a young and good-looking cricketer in far away Pakistan into marrying her solely based on some stolen pictures and some hot chat room romance. (I refuse to believe that Shoaib could have actually married this girl being shown on T.V.) Then she slapped a case on him just as he was about to get married to a 'real' woman. When she saw that all her mother's histrionics aren't working, she produced clothes from her wedding night supposedly unwashed ever since.... Yuck! In cricketing terms this is called 'Mauka dekh ke chauka marna'

I guess Shoaib Malik and his family had enough of all the drama so they convinced him to divorce the girl. They took no chances and in the divorce papers the girl's name reads Ayesha alias Maha. The girl's parents seem maha pleased. I wonder how much money has actually changed hands. I don't buy the 15k figure. Mumbai Mirror claims that Shoaib had to shell out 15 cr. to close the chapter.

Hopefully the circus is over. Oh wait! The wedding still remains. Next is what? The Maharashtra government is going to sue both the parties for using only the acronym of the state. No amount of arguments that Maha refers to a girl and not the state will pacify them. They will go about breaking random shop windows and burning buses before they realise that these shops and buses belong to them.

I'm going to hibernate. Call me when all this is over.
