Beginning a new PSU - PotHoles Mumbai Limited






It's time this company floats in!

Backout guys - this title is taken and ready to be encashed (anytime soon - i think :)).
I've just planned a movie (just now! while writing this post! ) based on the much popular mumbai roads and this is the title for that.

The movie will be on a serious note (you think?). It will reflect the massive efforts of few bright (& light) minded individuals to revive the reputation of PSUs. They launch the company. Get the project funded and are ready to get into action.

How's that sound for starters? More later.

Improvisations:
Title and Tag line

POTHOLES MUMBAI LTD.
(It's time this company floats in)

Now for the story:
Here's an aaiidea!

Three midage government employees, decide to do something different for their retirement.

Once they retire, they form a company Potholes Mumbai Ltd.
What this company does? This company creates potholes on those roads which are currently s"pot"less!!

Why does the government agree to their project - it's a project with tremendous potential:

The cost of operation is minimal. Most of the roads are alreay filled with pots - and this company would claim credits for all the roads - even those which are already damaged. The profits are tremendous since those benefitted by the potholes will be funding the company with each potholes - doctors, mechanics, politicians, corporators - all those who make this into profitable opportunity.

Why will the public allow it?
Well it will be a listed company! And easily affordable & accessible. Hence, people can make their profits by trading in the shares of the company.

Whoa! I'm done!

Now I know that the above mentioned gibberish has loads of loops, but you gotta admit, if worked on, it could become a hilarious & wonderful creation - a must watch.

now what can be done with this aaiidea!

Radio:
Issued in Public Interest!
A sarcastic campaign on government's shameless silence on the state of roads!

(Maybe appealing to NGOs??)

Television:
A mast maska chaska idea for a twisty, tangy consumer product like buiscuits, toffees - though it would be required to be worked upon a lot. OR again a sarcastic campaign by an insurance company. How's that?

Film:
Well - I just did that part now - din't I?

Now let's see what becomes of this crazy thought of mine. Let's seeee.

On to the next aaiidea?

LOL this is funny! next time maybe you can have a go at the local trains-- each ride in one of them in or close to rush hour is like an endurance run challenge or something. Me n my friends call it traveling chicken style http://www.vegetarismus.ch/bilder/img/chicken_b_027.jpg
