This is Mr. Kirit Somaiyya, a BJP leader who recently went on an indefinite hunger strike to protest against the 5-hour power cuts in Mulund and neighbouring areas.
He had to be forcibily taken to the hospital, by the cops. He was on a fast since 8th March.
In his long list of demands, throughout the fast, were things like ‘MSEDCL should take steps to control 50 per cent power theft’ and ‘MSEDCL should take action against the power mafias and power thieves’.
However, he forgot that his party had illegally taken power-supply from a neighbouring shop.
This image gives you’ll an idea how the connections were made.
Mumbai Mirror published this article today and I was ROFL.
So here’s fifty paise to him to pay for the electricity connection and get of the hunger strike.
Hmm… so there’s this new movie that’s just released. You have heard some awesome reviews about it and you are desperate to watch it. It’s showing at a nearby Multiplex.
You take time off, gather a couple of friends and shell out Rs. 150 plus for each ticket. You go in, buy some pocorn expecting a nice movie experience..
The movie reaches its climax, when all of a sudden.. BLEEEMP.. The lights go out.. The theatre just lost power.
Yea, thats what happened in a local theatre turned multiplex in Mumbai on a sunday night. Around 300 movie-lovers became restless aftr the power wasn’t restored for a long time. The multiplex was pitch dark inside ( obviously ) but the thing is, the ushers and the staff didn’t even have torch lights. (
) Although the multiplex had a backup generator, it was non-functional..
Now, one of the movie-buff called the Police control room and the Vile Parle Police soon reached there ( So un-filmy na :> ) Well, as soon as they reached, they pulled out their secret weapons and then there was light
Well, kinda… They urged their patrons to use their respective mobile phones and find a way out by formaing a human chain.
The Police then arrested the security supervisor Arvind Narottamdas Tatagar, 45, and watchman Sunil Shardaprasad Sharma, for negligence (under Section 336 of the Indian Penal Code). The duo was produced in a local court on Monday and released on bail.
So here’s fifty paise to the suncity management to get their backup generator up and working.
