Dot is Hot

I overheard the following conversation at an upmarket coffee shop last evening, among a group of youngsters:
"What's hot this season yaar?"
"Silly, didn't you know, it's the Dot?"

It took me a minute to register that the Dot being referred to is the election ink mark, and the conversation was referring to the Radio Mirchi campaign of "Dot hai to Hot hai".

It is great to see young college going citizens of our country being so excited about elections. It has become a matter of pride for them. And believe they do not want to see an octogenarian as our Prime Minister. I know I am treading the often discussed topic of why politicians do not have a retirement age, but then for the youth of this country, it is an important question.

Anyways, 7th May is approaching. Its the date for elections in Delhi. And then we will see a new fashion accessory- the hot Dot.

Jam, Jamming, Jammed!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what you feel if you venture out on Delhi roads these days. Its raining hard and roads are the worst of worst state and its I- day approaching. So, bad, waterlogged roads now have police barricades.

Today morning while driving to office, the traffic was really slow and as I was chatting to Adesh, I told him I could sense that I am entering a jam. 15 minutes later I told him that I am jamming (already a part of slow moving traffic) and another 10 minutes I was jammed. Traffic was not moving at all. The span that I cover in 20 minutes on a normal day took me an hour and a half. Urghhh!! It is so irritating. And one of the RJs on Radio Mirchi summed it all, ' Aaj Saari dilli Jam hai'. How true! Kya hoga Dilli ka???
