Obama influeces Mumbaiites

President Obama has taken over at White House or should I say, Black house or colored house if you want to be politically correct. How does this affect us at Mumbai you ask?

It does, it does.

Lack of humor: We who have been finding exquisite humor in putting down Bush no longer have a target. I mean no one can make funny faces like him. Just search for the word Funny or idiotic in Google and you will see only images of Bush. Bush reading a book upside down, Bush making a statement and forgetting what he said and on and on…

No more ‘stray’ dogs: Obama has taken all this talk about getting rid of stray dogs seriously and resolved the issue by adopting one. There is news that many strays are missing from their usual haunts of vice and are spending their days nibbling delicacies and having shampoo treatments at various mansions. The number of cases of dog bites and rabies have gone up proportionately at Breach Candy, Lilavati and other such hospitals frequented by the elite.

Recession Fashion: Not just the President, but the first lady too has changed our lives and perception of fashion. People are flocking to shops to buy ‘recession’ fashion at god-knows-how-many thousand rupees. Recession is the new IN. Cost is no barrier.
