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.

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!

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.
