“Do Not Honk”
(Hindi) “Even a dog does not bark without reason”
This is a disposable spoon. It looks like steel. Buts its 100% plastic!
Its perfect for gatherings where you want to come across as polished but don’t want to bother with cutlery. Bought this home with me from a wedding. Couldn’t get myself to throw it in the dustbin. Totally innovative. Loved it!
Pizza has gone mainstream. Really mainstream. Imagine my surprise when I saw a domino’s stall at a wedding yesterday!
Fed up with spam SMSes, I registered myself for the National Do Not Call Registry (NDNC) today. Here is the automated SMS response I got:
Your reference number for Registering on NDNC is S1015126XXX. All promotional communication to your Airtel mobile should stop within 45 days from now.
The famed efficiency of the private sector obviously does not apply here. 45 days! you’ve got to be kidding! Telecom Regulator — what are you doing?

“Sorry we are closed” is just not apologetic enough anymore. The very has become necessary because the singleton Sorry has become so degraded as a communicator of apology.
Similarly you need to be a Very Very Important Person (VVIP) to get attention because the word VIP has become so overused.
Trust.
This is a small but momentous development for India: Our society is becoming more trustworthy (alternative, cynical take: labor costs for “policing” have been factored in this).
This could only happen in the developed world I thought.
