'Pappa, Pappu & Jeanneret' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

Quelle originalité!

Pappa: ( Reading the newspaper aloud) 'Pierre Jeanneret's house opens to the public today.'

Pappu: Who was Pierre Jeanneret, Pappa.

Pappa: He was a relative of Le Corbusier.

Pappu: And who was Le Corbusier, Pappa?

Pappa: Go and finish your homework.

'Crowd-mgmt crucial during man-leopard conflicts: Experts'- The Tribune, March 4, 2017.

Wow! What an earth shakingly original idea.

Naw...It is so very elementary, my dear Watson!

'A shrieking headline on the front page of Times of India about one Karan Johar' by K.J.S.Chatrath

 
There is a shrieking headline on the front page of Times of India about one Karan Johar. It reads, "Karan Johar is dad to twins, via a surrogate".

Who is Karan Johar?

And who the hell cares!

Come on you the old lady of Bori Bunder, grow up and improve your selection of news.

'Nail-cutter as election symbol for smaller parties' - Supremely Silly.....by K.J.S.Chatrath

(Nail cutter- This is an indicative photo and not the one approved by the Election Commission as a symbol)

Of the new symbols approved by the Election Commission is - hold your breath- a nail -cutter.

How supremely silly!

'Genuinely Fake-2' by K.J.S.Chatrath

No trip to Tamil Nadu is complete without paying my respects to Rajni Sir!

And yes, he offered me a part as heroine's daddy in his next film. I politely refused saying that I am too young to look like heroine's father! Right, no?

Pssst...It is a genuine 'fake'. There are a few photographers on Chennai's Marina Beach who sport a number of cut-outs of film stars, politicians and sports personalities. For a very small charge one can get oneself photographed with the cut-out of one's choice.

'Genuinely Fake' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

I go to South India every year in January. The reasons are many- to escape from the chilly winds of Panchkula, to enjoy the great South Indian food and just to roam around on the Marina beach of Chennai.

I have found out a photographer on the Marina beach who has cut-outs of famous personalities and one can get oneself photographed with the politician or the actor of one's choice. I have got myself photographed with the cut-outs of Respected Amma (may her soul rest in peace!), of the Super Star Rajni Sir and a few others. I call these myy 'Fooling Around' series.

Last time I went there about two years back, I chose the cut-out of Deepika Padukone and the photographer did a jolly good job.

Genuinely fake, no?

P.S.... I am going to Chennai later this week so be prepared for another genuine fake shortly...
