Bikers, Rockers and Item Numbers

Lessons learnt today:-

Dhoom has caused ripples in the city! Pedestrians, hawkers and jaywalkers watch out, the latest killers on the road are motorbikes. Whats happening to our safe Pune roads? Our city fathers better wake up and take immediate actions to curb the increase of superbikes (An option is to ban the movie).

Underground rock exists in Pune! And know what? Rock is influencing today's youth into drugs! Whats the world coming to?? And know what? Gutsy PT, after a dense investigation, has revealed the rates of everything from weed and hash to cocaine. Doesn't this remind you of the scoop that the journalists in the 30's achieved after Bhagat Singh & comrades revealed the art of bomb-making? Kudos to them anyway. Lets encourage them in this courageous investigation. And also expect a scoop soon on the sources of manufacture and retail of hash.

And our role model Mallika Sherawat does have a rival! The bold Rakhi Sawant (who just missed a nomination for best supporting actress award for Main Hoon Na) not only accepts bold roles, but also happens to be the only girl to have the guts to do such things. And remember, it isn't cheap 'coz "it has been shot like a Hollywood movie".

Which makes me wonder: Whats the difference between Mallika Sarabhai and Mallika Sherawat?
Mallika Sarabhai can DARE in front of anybody.
Mallika Sherawat can BARE in front of anybody.

Can't wait to find out what exclusives tomorrow's paper will have...

Hasn't Pune Times always carried articles on the Wine n Dine culture and cigar puffing habits of Pune's filthy rich.(and I do not mean those with oodles of money)
Some nerve they have to say that Rock is leading kids to do drugs. It seriously isn't so. Most rock bands promote the anti-drug campaigns and urge their fans not to walk the forbidden path. It is actually PT that has been glorifying the tipplers of tinsel town and the smokers amongst the top brass in MNC's.

I clearly remember PT carrying an article on people starting to drink at a very young age. There were a few lines about how the call centre people get paid heavily and they like to spend that money on booze. But I felt really sad after going through the entire column only to gather that it contained a detailed description of what the likes and tastes of these, supposed pillars of Pune's night scene, are. Not a single line saying that drinking at a young age can be harmful. No mention of the number of accidents and fist-fights that have transpired as a result of drinking, not discounting the fashionable funda of social drinking.

Social drinking, mind you is drinking anyways. You can't say that Vijay Mallaya is any better than the haath bhatti wala who sells cheap country liquor just because the latter fails to cater to a high society crowd.

Highest order of hypocrites I must say. Pandering fools.........
