Remember that Parle orange cream ad ? where a lady waits in a queue , and behind her is another young lady with her kid who has this biscuit packet in his hand. The old lady takes out the biscuits , eats off the cream in between and returns back the cream-less biscuits to the kid, and the kid starts crying !
Many a times, I've told myself , that since you've grown up , you must learn to eat a cream biscuit properly, and not like a two year old, who licks off the cream first and then dips the robbed biscuits into milk.
But, as the say, old habits die hard.
Now , when a public figure , makes some promise, however stupid it may sound, in full media glare , one must take that seriously, else lose some easy route to fortune. So months back, Ram Gopal Verma made a movie Phoonk , on some obscure subject and challenged the masses that whoever could watch it alone in a theatre , would win 5 lakhs for oneself. So while people were busy cracking jokes about the movie, one man in Bangalore booked a whole 247 seater and watched the movie alone and (must have) won 5 lakhs for himself !
Assuming each ticket cost atmost 250 bucks,
and number of seats 247 (given),
the total investment was 247 *250 =61750
and the output was 5,00,000
Therefore, total gain=5,00,000-61,750= 438,250 !
The other day, the back window of a car, before my bus , had these words written :
'Have you been tagged recently?'
Everybody talks in blog lingo, it seems !
