I see a grass shack by the beach. The wind rustling the palms. Out on the ocean there is the faint whipser of a breeze in the heat. Mohan is stretched out comfortably sipping his toddy and his arms are around two gopis. He is staring at his computer screen and communicating on the internet and being paid $10,000. a day by the Information Ministry of the Government of India to bring India to the world. As Mohan works he invents new websites in his mind.

Question: What is wrong with this picture?

Answer: Mohan has three arms.

Actually, Mohan I wanted to send you along this bit of cribbed information from the land of recent breakdown. On the lighter side.

FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY

".....like (the) singer Madonna, Thai pop princess Pooky found herself with child.

"I want to keep my baby," the half-Australian teenage idol says. But unlike the American star, Pooky, now in her fifth month of pregnancy, wants to wed.

It's not likely to be any time soon though. Rather than say her marriage vows, the 18-year-old is more likely to be testifying in court to the soundness of her own judgment. Her mom, Jaruphan Praisaeng, has withheld the blessing Thailand requires for people under 21 to obtain for a marriage license. "Mama is afraid that I will be cheated by my boyfriend," says Pooky. The young entertainer is not to be thwarted. She is seeking court permission to marry the father of her child, 29-year-old Suraphan Chamlongkul of the band Two. Jaruphan, in turn, has filed a lawsuit seeking to be executor of her daughter's wealth.

Whoops.

With a child on the way, Pooky wants to keep control of the money she has earned during her lucrative singing career. But mom says Pooky is not really expecting a baby.
