Left off Page Three
These are the kinds of things that make reading the IIIrd page of the Pune Times so fascinating and worthwhile. Today (2 Nov's) Pune Times of India has a detailed report of a pre-Karva Chauth bash (I must admit that is a novel idea to me in the saturated space of the party-shaarty world). Assorted women "dressed in pink partied hard while applying mehendi, getting bangles, eating delicacies and dancing to DJ Jiten Singh’s music". Oooh! What fun! As the news report mentions, it must have been one hell of a "rocking Karva Chauth bash".
But bashing KC parties is not what this post is about. There, was quietly ensconced among all that "reportage", this little gem (I'm usually not one to pick bones about typos, for it would be akin to a sinner casting the stone):
Spotted there were socialists Maushmi Sanas, Shalini Lunkad and Preeti Mody.
I didn't know the Left took such a keen interest in social customs and revelry! I must admit it shatters my rather narrow view of them as dull ideologues more at home sipping tea and clashing over the finer nuances of Marxist theory over Leninist revolutionary strategies.
Looking at the picture, I'm sure there were no Leftovers that day.

Bhell! Thaat ij Phune Timej a.k.a P.T a.k.a (P)radeep (T)hakur phor ju peeple.
That is so true!! As another ex PT employee let me join in the PT bashing, that is Pradeep Thakur bashing..... the dumb guy must be busy trying to desperately call up some "socialists" to see where he can be invited as nobody bothers inviting a vernac like him to disgrace their social gathering. While he is at it, his poor team (that is 4 of them) must be thinking "Aah now lets see how much more shit can be published and be passed of as a newpaper, so lets not bother with spell check or even grammar check or actually forget it lets leave out reality check as well"....and thats how pune times is made or actually jumbled up every day...
Well Pradeep must say for an uneducated person its not such a bad job! but I must say our poor office boy yadav ji would have done a better job, but dont worry, buck up, in another 30 yrs or so i am sure u will learn how to read and write and most importantly speak english...
So does that makes Jyoti Basu a Party animal? The Communist Party animal maybe ;-)
Hahahahaha......
Now that's what you call fun! What would people do if this Blog did not exist? Apparently, there is just too much hatred towards Pune Times. I believe if this blog did not exist there would be a possibility of a violent revolt against this paper..good thing people can get their frustration out in this space..kiddin!
On a serious note, guess what guys.. PT insiders tell us that Mr Thakur is losing his marbles (if he had any) just going through this blog..
Apparently this guy thinks there is some kind of conspiracy against him. Yes, its true. I would not exaggerate this fact, cos its too just outrageously hilarious without any spice added.
So as i was saying, news has it that the dude is going around snooping into people's computers and telephonic conversations to check if his team is planning to sabotage his seat..hahahaha, i mean does he really think that anyone would work so hard on a battle that's already won??
He has even called up the top management, in a desperate attempt to save his seat, complaining to them about how someone's out to get him...
Congratulations people... even though i realise that getting this idiot fired is not the sole purpose of this blog, i cant help but cheer for the blog. To A cruel Waste of Forests! For utilising this space for such a noble cause!!
Haha.. something so different but weird has to be published in order to maintain the finance and circulation of Pune Times. A 'Karwa Chauth Party' with fun, frolic and food, featuring people like Preity Mody, who does not even understand the institution of marriage with an open relationship with her husband, Vishal Mody,a man with a prominent description of infidelity.The amusing part is Mr Vishal Mody, who is land broker by profession, does not fail to verbalize to his women that his wife approves of his extra marital affairs gladly as long as materialistic comforts are provided..haha..brutally crazy.
So when Pune is filled with such disgusting people, what does the poor editor do but publish horrendous Page-3 news to run the show.
Gentleman get some sense and try to reach a valid 70% points scale with sensible entertaining news on Page-3. Such news are entertaining enough to bring a smirk not a delight.
