Maharashtra Government to ban IPL cheerleaders

Maharashtra Government looks to play 'moral police'. They are planning to ban cheerleaders from Mumbai matches. They argue that if bar dancers were banned for indecency so should these cheerleaders.It should be noted that the IPL teams have spent a lot on these cheerleaders. Notable is Vijay Mallya's Team Bangalore Royal Challengers who have brought Washington Red Skins.

Hats off to these stupid politicians who are extremely able to find anything Under The Sun to protest and create some controversies. They don't seem to understand vulgarity depends on one's perception. These cheerleaders just adds to the colour and festivities of Twenty20 cricket and does not makes it an 'immoral' event.

A Salsa dance, depending on one's perception, will be the most beautiful form of dance or the most vulgar.

Mumbai Trains claim 20000 lives in 5 years


Death on the railway tracks seems to have become a way of life for Mumbai. A query, under the Right to Information Act, has revealed that Mumbai’s lifeline has ended up claiming more than 20,700 lives in the last five years.

Most of the deaths occurred while people were crossing the tracks, sometimes to catch a train, but a significant percentage of commuters died after they were pushed off trains or hit trackside poles while struggling for a square foot of space in overcrowded coaches.

Talk about being lifeline of Mumbai.

TATA to smooth driving and good environment?

TATA are soon going launch Rs. one lakh car. I hope these cars are not allowed in Mumbai. As you know, how a one hour journey takes up to 2-3 hours in Mumbai by road due to traffic , introduction of these cars will lead to utter chaotic situation in the city. I just wish these cars are only allowed in smaller cities and towns. TATA are about to buy luxury brands LandRover and Jaguar. Good,but please leave Mumbai alone.

Choos bite to Mumbai women

One of the world's most glamorous accessories -- the Choos brand -- is adored by celebrities, who are often spotted on the red carpet adorning the brand. But Choos come at a price.

The first store, which has opened in Mumbai, has plenty to feast your eyes on. The store is aesthicathly designed to make you feel like you're walking into a woman's boudier. And with exorbitant price tags, the wait is over for people who are brand conscious and don't mind splurging.

The inimitable, aspirational, posh and yet very unique, these ultra chic cocoons of pampering come at astronomical price. And if you can afford splurging, then you wouldn't need to know splurge on a first class international ticket to pick up your pair of choo's. With their first flagship store in Mumbai, no surprises for guessing as to why the financial capital of the country was chosen for the launch.

American cleans Mumbai street

On the first day of the Clean Up drive, an American was made to pick up litter he threw on the street near the Gateway of India.there were several other cases,too. However, nobody was fined .
On the second day the agencies managed to catch their first big fish, which could well be a deterrent to people who dump debris. Marshals deployed by Vishal Protection Force (VPF) managed to stop one flying tipper that was dumping debris on the Goregaon-Malad link road at 3 pm.
