A dull Saturday not much happened to talk about. But there is no dull day in a country like India.

India prepares that’s the story today. India prepares for its state elections, an event which will happen in a phase wise manner and in states like U.P. it will be done in as many as seven phases. So, the stage is set and the political drama has already begun. Didi, Madam, Sir ji, the youth icon all have tighten their belts and are out on the road with their shows on.

North India painted white. It’s snowing in J&K and the haven on earth is looking as beautiful as ever. Just looking at the pictures and only one thing comes in mind, pack the bags and go Kashmir. It’s already touching 0 degree in Delhi and with rain at New Year it’s chilling and just too good.

Sales season is back. Yet another End of Season sale has entered the malls and discounted items are on display once again. This makes me think two things, one what is the actual price of all these things with 90% to 10% discounts on them almost five to six times a year. And that’s my second point, actually how many end of seasons are there in a year?

Talking about sale, I read about an interesting sale going on in Spain, walk in undress and walk out dressed. And guess what, people half naked queued outside the store. Consumers around the world are same only that in India no one will take off clothes. Well until now.

Actor detained at Mumbai airport. How common is that story now? So common that it doesn’t sound’s yesterday now. This time it was Dia Mirza for walking out of green zone with Rs. 2 lakh of undeclared dutiable good and was fined Rs. 1.25 lakh for it. I checked out some history on it, first in India, only female actors have been detained. Second, with the printed data, there is no relation between worth of undeclared good and the fine charged.

Well that’s it for today.

Enjoy Reading.

Chear!
