Has EVERYONE seen Jaane tu..??

Do ALL the boys in Bandra have hot girlfriends?

Can anyone afford to buy a house in Bombay now?

These are the humdrum rantings that race through my head as I write these jealous words.

Yes, Jealous

Extremely

It seems my sozzled soiree has had a most (un)desirable effect, it convinced my dear ex-best friend (you’ll see why ex best) to buy THE Ford Fiesta (now you see the cause de flare up!!) because as he calls it ‘it sounded like a boy’s ride’. And not just that the evil knievel actually gets a swank free watch FREE with it!!

Since someone somewhere is taking me seriously lemme take this opportunity to record his experience as briefly as possible (coz it hurts) since I’m getting nowhere near a new car given my current bank unbalance, so here goes –

Moolah/ Dosh / greens – it seems the Ford Fiesta costs 848,629/- and Sammy (that’s Sameer Valechha, VP, Swincap Securities to you) simply walked in to the showroom, met this suave cool folks who seem to have charmed him (he gave me a BIIIG lowdown on intelligent well-informed customer interaction being the future of retail or some such) and decided he wanted to get one of the feisty babies right THERE!!!

LOAN – HA HA HA – this part I really like – turns out Sammy the Moneybag needs a loan to buy a new car! So he plonks his salary slip, PAN card AND credit card to get a loan!! And here’s the best part, its gonna take 1 week for his car to arrive (although I must admit, it’s a bit better than the wait on some other wheels in town right now).

For the financially uninitiated reader here’s a checklist of d and documents before you lose your heart to a four wheeled beauty –

a) ID Proof (typically a copy of the PAN card/Driver’s License / Valid Photo ID)

b) Salary slip / IT returns

But honestly if you are in Delhi or Bombay, Please, Please, Puhleeease… spend some time getting to know your new car. Be familiar with the handling and capabilities of your car. Nothing irritates me more than to see a driver choking traffic because s/he doesn’t know the turning radius of the car!!!!!

So, my soliloquy ends here. Sammy is over the moon pretty much like the proverbial cow and I will soon have access to the jizzin Ford Fiesta 1.6S, after all what else are friends for (wink wink)
