Pune special

Every city has its own specialty. Pune is of course famous for its colleges, for its food and many more things. But undoubtedly, wacky notice boards give Pune its identity.

Here are a few gems (courtesy Amaresh) found in the by-lanes of Pune.

A lot (the tone and the attitude filled in these lines) is lost in translation:



The bungalow is empty. There is nothing worth stealing. Don't bother.












Outsiders are not allowed to use the lift. Society won't be responsible if they get stuck.















Do not stand or park under the coconut tree. If coconut falls, the owner (of the coconut tree) will not responsible for the damages.

















You will have to pay for asking the address.
If the place is within ten km, you will have to pay 50 paise. If more than ten km, then
you will have to pay Rs 1/-
-- Thank you.


(the second board-) If you ask "why have you written this?" then you will be charged Rs. 200/-

To those who can't read, the address will be told for free.











No one has been given the responsibility to paint the building. We request you to not take up the responsibility of painting the building with your spit.

-Thank You-

The "What next...?" demon

What next?.... When I was a kid, I always thought that there is a certain age till when this question will bother me and after that, like for my parents, things will be in order. Life will fall into a routine and I will never again be confronted with this demon called "what next?". But turns out, for our generation, there is no point of rest. The demon is a part of our life like stability was for the generation before us. This realisation is also stale by now. In fact, it has been more than a few years since I even resigned to this way of life. The time period between such a realisation and resignation was hard, I must confess. But not anymore! The confrontations with this demon are a reassurance of life itself! (feels embarrassed after having said such things....) My childish philosophies may be sounding hilarious to you (reader). (Thank me for the entertainment! You are welcome!) What I wish to announce is: for a while, I do have an answer to one such "what next...?...

Slumdog Millionaire, what's the fuss all about?

I saw the movie a few days ago. I really don't understand: why so much fuss? If an Indian director makes a fully filmy hindi movie, no one gives a damn about it. But some non-indian comes and makes this movie and people are going all ga ga about it. A.R. Rehman has given music better than "jai ho". Anil Kapur has done roles better than this. This movie has set new records in making a big deal out of a not-so-amazing movie. I say this because, even a huge fuss has been made about why there is so much fuss about this movie. That is like the second order fuss about the movie! And here, I am making the third order fuss with a huge lot accompanying me in doing so. To start the tirade-- The main guy is such a put off! He has a unique expression on his face, indicating he really has no clue what people are talking about. You are supposed to be poor, not dumb for god's sake! Even some of the witty lines are lost due to his dialog delivery. For example, when one police man say...
