Want to buy publicty ?

Bombay or Mumbai : Whats expensive here is property. Whats cheap here is publicty.

And when they build all these super tall skyscrapers - where do they expect all the crap coming out from all the residents to flow ? And will they fill their overhead and underhead tanks with Pepsi and Coke ? And where will these guys park their expensive cars ? Where will they drive them ?

Unstructured and random wrtings on things supposedly happening.

Cars

Too many cars in Bombay. Obvioulsy when you can get a car with just some coins in your pocket then what else can one expect. Loans. Loans. Kids are earning right when they get out of school. Anyway what will they do when all of the kiddie populace starts working in call centres. Who will call the call centers ?

Lata Mangeshi

Old LM has said that she never said what she was reported to have said about the Pedder Road flyover. The concerned newspaper sends tapes of her conversation. Anyway everyone gains in the process. LM and the paper get their much needed cheap publicty. The idle and lazy populace get thier daily fix of junk stories to be read in junk newspapers. Bloggers too can do their copy and paste tricks and fill up their never-to-be-read blogs. There is something in this for everyone.

Naked models

Some thing called a "wardrobe malfunction" happened recently. Well I would presume that the lock or latch to your cupboard got stuck or something or the door came off. But what is supposed to have happened is that some clothes (small peices of cloth that these girls 'cover' themselves with) fell of one such girl and the photographers and videographers soon got sore fingers from having clicked so many pictures. And now to entertain our lazy and perverted populace these MMS messages and exposed pictures from that show are filling up disk space all across the world. The police too jumped in and in the guise of 'investigating the case', they were able to satisfy their inner animal desires by watching the videos and pictures of the show. What more does one want - get to see naked women and get paid for it. Everyone gains - the models, the designers and the populace and the police and and the bloggers. Whats the difference between all of this and a sleaze joint or a dance bar ?

Wait for wait listed tickets

Remember when one came to Churchgate ot VT station the day earlier to stand/sleep in the queue to book rail tickets. We now have this internet booking facility (there is always some network connectivity failure at the server end) which has made things better (for a fraction of the ticket buying public) but the scene at VY and Churchgate pretty much remains the same. You are the first one in the queue on the opening day of booking and yet you get a wait listed ticket. Thats because the agents and the booking clerks are having a party at the four counters alloted for just them. And with each agent (earlier known as touts) carrying kilos of reservation forms , its no wonder that the helpless populace in the other normal queues get wait listed tickets. I cant wait for the day when the airline bookings go this way. This is summer vacation season when hoards of the temporary populace makes its way back to thier "muloook". The only sad part is that they all come back.

Stand during your your flight

Air travel has become cheap. Some start at Re. 1/- and for about 3k you can perhaps travel (fly) anywhere. Some airlines dont give you water, some dont give you chiken tikka and beer. Im waiting for the day when they will allow standees on a flight. And I'm also waiting for the spitters to paint their MF Hussains on the walls of the aircraft. And perhaps will strap extra luggage and suitcases over the aircrafts - fastened securely by thick nylon ropes - the way these inter-city private bus operators do. Lots of lessons to be learnt.

IIHM-A

Well this was a clever one by some private institute in Aurangabad. Cashing on the IIM-A looking script, theyve done the same to their shop too. The Indian Institute of Hotel Management at Aurangabad just hopes that some gullibles will fall for the similar looking abbreviation.

Rapes - Give me more.

Some drunken and perverted (most of them are both) cop called "More" raped a kid last year. There was a lot of outcry and More finally was sentenced to 12 years of luxury. He said he's innocent (More probably thought that his current life was more luxurious than the one that awaits him). The judge however said he's guilty. Anway the thing is that this perhaps gives some kind of incentive for more rapes ? Remember there was this ad - Give me more ?


When will things become worse ?
