How time flies when one is having fun. Today is March 3 and the Malaysian general election is fast approaching. I must admit that while i view elections very seriously and i will be there on voting day, bright and early, to cast my vote, i would pay money to listen to the local pre-election debate; similar to the verbal jousting of Obama-Clinton, but on a higher more intellectual level: coffee-shop consultants. No where can one get the latest, most accurate, rumours at these stripped down starbucks, where the coffee is guaranteed to stain your teeth, and everybody knows your name. You don't pay 10 bucks to a yuppie behind the counter for a latte but a buck eighty to the "boss" who hollers your order for all to hear. But i digress. The news that comes from these square table discussions are so varied and so hot that Al Jazeera would pay money to get these hot-off-the-press news. Though they may not hold water if digested to get to the source, nevertheless these tales are so enticing that one cannot help but get drawn and lending an ear.
If you have never been involved, do so. Stop by your local mamak stall or in my younger days, lovingly referred to as "maple" and order drink. Coffee with Karan could only wish for such hot topics. And have a roti tissue while you are there....
