Welcome to the soon to be BIMARU state of Mahar rashtra!
What with the half (don't know which one is the better and which one is the worse half) of so called messiah of the Maharashtrian Asmita is a goddamn pauper who has to be forced to pay toll fees and then doesn't think twice about crying foul over it and getting the MNS Monkeys into damaging men and machinery at the toll naka.
Another one is that Jet Airways to have announcements in Marathi - and soon it will be which Marathi - Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur or Kolhapuri? Have they really upgraded themselves to traveling by flight so what is going to happen to the Asiad and SHT (they don't pronounce it as ST remember!)
And then the Consumer Forum joins the Marathi Band wagon! when day in and day out the so called Marathi Programmes on the hailed Marathi Channels have not just the participants but even their MahaGurus and Judges (yes they use the word 'Judges' in their Marathi Programme) have no qualms about going on and on about Ata Hasa Marathit and so on and so forth, enjoying when the participants in a Comedy programme put down Biharis only to appreciate the performances with absolute Marathi praise words like 'Kya Baat Hain', 'Aprateem Bearing', 'Timing', 'Per Formance' (that's how they pronounce it!)
So now my dear Bombayite and fellow Maharashtrain catch you at the Zhunka Bhakar Kendra or Shiv Vada Pau Stall some time!
