Abhishek+Ash Engagement ke side effects!!!

This was something that was speculated, but still Mumbai's not recovered from the hangover of Abishek's and Ash' s engagement. Reading through the newspapers, and watching news channel has made me truly realise the impact of Bollywood on Mumbai.

It was late sunday night, and Vipin and I were watching I don't know what....as we continued moving from channel to channel, we saw a flash news flickering at the bottom of every news channel. It was no shock to us, that Ash and AB Jr. were engaged, but the whole of Mumbai had been taken by surprise. Over the next half an hour we, realised the impact of the event combined with the media on the Mumbaikars.

These are some of the hilarious statements we heard that night.......

A local man: "Jaise hi humne yeh khabar suni, mere padosi ne kaha ki hamein Amitabh ji ke ghar jana chahiya, aur hum apne ghar se nikal ke aaye, hamara ghar 20 km door hai par humein aana hi tha"(This was a 12.00 midnight)
( for those who find it tough interpreting this ill translate it: The man said that as soon as he heard the news of the engagement, his neighbour told him that they should go to Amitabh's house, and they left immediately from their place which was about 20 kms away from Jalsa(AB's house in Juhu)) ...for what joy??? Vipin and I wondered "at 12.00 in the night??")


The reality behind the situation is that even when the local man was standing outside with a mob, of similar people like him.... the the Bachchan's the Rai's the Ambani's all were having a party inside Big B's house...

Its sad that the people let these emotions overshadow practicalities of life..........

The next, was something that caught our eye and I guess we shall laugh over this for a week::
The TV channel had interviewed, guess who: a pandit, on how their marriage would turn out to be:

We made something outta this:

PAndit: Abishek ke Shukra aur Aishwarya ke guru ko dekh ke lagta hai ki unki shaadi mangal ko honi chahiye:::


I mean get a life: Interviewing a pandit...why why??? What the hell is wrong with these media people??? Leave the pandit's alone atleast!!!


Thirdly, the media going gaga over how, when, where, Abhishek proposed Ash, who he called first after that, what he told them, how did his parents react, her parents reaction, what his mother made for dinner at the party......and a lot more crap......

The news that tops them all, on how the Bachchan's have taken Ash's kiss (with Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2), in the right way, although they were a bit unhappy about it in the beginning.......

Trust me, you live in Mumbai, newspapers and TV will keep you going for a day...but make sure you keep your head above your shoulder's!!!!
