The Obnoxious Little Weed - Peeping Into My Mind

Well, let me apologize the matter goes under hardly relates to the cricket controversies.

Google guys have robbed my heart by bringing up iGoogle, the Personalised Google Home page. And the wonderful stuff I found there is the news feed. Being an Indian user I get Google India top searches.

And today’s hottest search is obnoxious. Like you all I’ve been hearing in the news and everywhere Hayden being quoted saying Bhajji as “The Obnoxious Little Weed“. The funny thing which struck me is that Hayden has done one thing in favour of India. He is enriching average Indian vocabulary.

Hey Oz, keep up the good work!
