Sorry guys:
I was out all day today and came back late evening, so could not put this up earlier. Just finished doing my chores.
For all those looking to go into the PR underground never to surface again, following this week's upcoming divorce telecast. My friends, my compatriots this bitter cup we shall drink together and go laughing into oblivion.

BREAKING NEWS ' PAVITRA RISTHA BIDDING WAR
We have received confirmation from Ekta Kapoor herself about the ongoing bidding war being waged for the "ArMan" story. Apparently both the University of Bombay Law program and the Hallmark Greeting Cards are willing to pay top dollar for the exclusive rights to the story.
The University of Bombay Law program says that its students have been unchallenged with the recent case studies and they would like to infuse the curriculum with "ArMan" case study. A study will demonstrate the case of a Laila Majnu type married couple and their divorce appeal to the court. We initially wondered if the story was considered for the complexity or such other purpose but apparently this is not the case. The story is being told as a tale of caution to budding lawyers and judge hopefuls where the students will learn how to avoid taking on such cases. A variety of techniques will be taught on issue resolution i.e. faking illness, losing judge's gavel, lawyers and judges getting amnesia about case details or case law and thereby being excused from pronouncing judgement, considering the use of truth serum before securing laila and majnu's confessions/ opinions / statements, etc.
Hallmark Greeting Cards wants to use Archana and Manav as their poster couple for the "Sorry" category of cards. The titles being considered for these cards are "If I Only Had a Brain", "oh Baby Baby" "Really, Terribly Utterly, Sorry". The cards will also have a music option and the tune "aaaaah" from PR is being considered to add the right tone to the message. The message in the card will indicate I am sorry but at least I am not as dumb as these two.
In other news:
- Rumours have also been heard about the new Friendship Burger that MacDonald's is planning on introducing this week. The burger will be dedicated to ArMan. The burger will essentially be a pav bhaji sandwich with a McChicken patty will be added in the middle. The pav bhaji is intended to represent Archana and Manav and the McChicken patty is intended to represent Shravani (kind of like a kabab mein haddi). They believe that sales will be motivated by the sentimental value attached to the burger for ArMan fans rather than the taste itself as seriously guys THAT SOUNDS GROSS EVEN TO MACDONALDS.
- Apparently, two of BT's biggest problem viewers have taken on Supari on Ekta and BT. The intent is to make it look accidental but unfortunately the contract is pending due to shortage of adequate funds. An online campaign is being mounted as we speak.
- The devotees at the Siddhivinayak temple are planning a morcha against Archana Manav because they think that they are giving a global message that Bappa devotees are lame-brained. Archana and Manav will also be banned for visiting the temple post-divorce as even the pujari is fed up of this drama. Also every time this useless couple come they bring their film crew etc with them and the temple is getting bad publicity. So mug shots of ArMan are being handed out to the cops at the entrance of the temple so that the parameter is secured.
- The pav bhaji vendors are going on strike to protest the last date of ArMan. Apparently, till date pav bhaji was considered date food by Mumbaikars but since ArMan came into the picture it is being considered the "Last Supper". The pav bhaji vendors association has advised that they will be contributing to the online supari fund and they are issuing a nationwide call to all other street hawkers to do the same.

Lunch at the Ks
Guys that Sulo is good. She serves a big meal before she talks to people so that they are too satiated from the meal to be able to protest anything she says. That poor Manav looked stuffed. Bet you he only agreed because he wanted to get permission to sit down and rest his poor overworked stomach muscles.
See this is why Sulo and Manohar were unsuccessful. They did not do Negotiations 101. First they did not do the good cop bad cop routine like Sav and Manohar ( which was way more effective) then they closed the deal too soon and did not even get a verbal agreement in principle just accepted silence as consent. Silly people. This is all Savita aai's fault she sent amateurs to do the job of professionals. Arre to convince a nautanki couple you need another nautanki couple you cannot use the audience, hai na guys? Let me tell you if India ever goes to war against any other country, that Sulo should not be allowed ever to blow the victory whistle guys, she will lead us into an ambush.
Pav Bhaji Date
You know I was amazed when they went for that date after such a heavy lunch. Arre when I am upset the first thing I do is lose my appetite. These two are doing FOOD FEST all day long. That poor Manav I am surprised he showed up to court the next day and did not come down with indigestion. Think about it guys all that heavy thinking on such an overloaded belly. Man, Peptobismol would be my new best friend, that Archu gayi bhaad mein.
Anyways, that's all from me folks.
Hope
