One does not need a laughter club to release the toxins in the body or recharge yourself…but yes what one definitely needs is A NEWSPAPER!

1) Married couples can kiss in public, Lovers cannot!
This is something that’s happened in our capital Delhi where the court has come out with a ruling that couples who are married can indulge in PDA. The verdict came out after a public interest litigation was filed against acts of PDA that youngsters indulge in embarrassing the public or rather making them jealous or horny!!
I’m sure the debate must have been between decency and rights of a couple and thus a result was reached that would satisfy to some extent both the grieving parties. (Elections are round the corner remember!)
So now I figure you can kiss provided you have a marriage certificate or any evidence to prove that you are married for I suspect a marriage invitation card too is admitted as such evidence in the marriage registrar’s office!
So the person next to you can go blue with embarrassment but if you are married you can smooch your way back into love! What happens then if you both are married but are kissing your respective lovers who too are married!! Gets a tad bit complex hey?
Is it so difficult for someone to notice the entire point of this issue? But then it would not have been funny then what say?

2) Kanda Poha Vs Vada Pav = democracy?
For the uninitiated, Kanda Poha is a food item prepared from rice flakes and onions while vada pav a preparation of potatoes and gram flour.
Now while we were fretting and fuming about roads full of potholes and hawkers, the ruling party and the opposition were at loggerheads in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation over stalls for “Kanda Poha” and “Vadapav”.
The Shiv Sena supports the Vada Pav for the Marathi manoos and had launched its “SHIV VADA” with all the fanfare of a product launch at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park!
And now the Congress is launching its “Kanda Poha” with much the same enthusiasm at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan!
The debate in the corporation was over the allocation of number of stalls each food item (read political party) would get!
The debate for the respective attempts- supposedly made to provide employment and cheap food to the masses-went to the extent of a congress corporator claiming that Vada Pav is made of ingredients available in the north hence it is a NORTH INDIAN DISH!!, while poha since containing rice is a MAHARASHTRIAN dish!
And this comes at the end of an effort which began in the first place to take some lime light off the ‘sons of the soil’ issue raised by Raj Thackeray’s MNS party!
It thus remains to be seen who rules us in the next term- …I’m definitely voting for scrambled eggs!

3) Lastly…Revolution by a drug addict!!
For months now the commuters at Mumbai’s Borivali suburb were grumbling over the lack of trains and the construction of additional platforms.
The additional platforms are built a kilometer away from the main station and people thus have to catch an auto or take a bus to reach to the ‘real’ Borivali station!!
All the same having been used to fretting and fuming, life went on for these victims of democracy when one day Mr. Panchal took the step.
Panchal was and is a drug addict who that night needed his dose and as usual had no moolah to buy it. very innocently he plucked a piece of wire from next to the railway tracks, sold the copper from wire and got himself a Rs. 15 worth of ganja!
Oblivious to the effects of his act his life went on but next morning….
Each train got delayed by 10 minutes…causing progressive delays for the wire he had plucked had caused multiple signal failure as a result of which all trains were cautiously plying! The delay had already caused dismay to the ever in a hurry and forever tormented souls of the Mumbai working class when the efficient railway authorities cancelled a train to get some sanity to the already haywire schedule!! Tempers has begun to flare by then…but the final nail in the coffin came with a new train was announced from the old platform and when the crowd reached the platform the wrong train came in while the right one royally stationed itself on the new platform a kilometer away!!
THAT WAS IT!
For over 6 hours, 4 lakh office goers were stranded, 80 train services cancelled, 32 persons arrested and 12 policemen injured!!!

Immediately the political parties came forward…they started fighting over signature campaigns…and credit taking for the protests thereafter…

That was 5th Feb.… protests are regularly held at either side of the platform by different political parties…some woman had to give up their jobs as they got arrested on the fateful day for being bystanders and had to give up their jobs as their husbands and in laws thought it shameful to grant them bail!!...auto rickshaws have found a new halt outside the new platforms as they are so away from the main station…and yes…Panchal is yet to be counseled into rehab!!
