Amit Varma’s worst fears are coming true.
With the advent of Abhiwarya, the mouth waters at other possibilities (for existing as well as fictitious couples). Here are a few :
Surya and Jyothika – Soothika (non-Tamil speakers, please excuse)
Asin and Vikram – Ashram
Vijay and Trisha – Visha
Anil and Tina Ambani - Antenna
Dhoni and Katrina Kaif - Dhoka
Cyrus Broacha and Celina Jaitley – Cycley
I.M.Vijayan and U.R.Ananthamurthy -V.R.Gay
Sushmita Sen and Cybill Sheppard – Sensible
Okay, I’m all out. Any more suggestions?
Late Additions :
Scarlet Johansson and Batman – Scatman
J-LO and TR – LOTR
Madhu Sapre and Dimple Kapadia – Sapadriya? (Another for the Tam-only crowd)
V.R.V.Singh and Ronnie Screwvala - V.R.Screwing

We’re recruiting people for our new animation and game design studio, and my colleague Tariq and I were looking in disbelief at a resume :
“One of my greatest strengths is looking through the brief and seeing the complete picture.”
Sometimes, I think we should stop creating content and just syndicate and publish excerpts from resumes that we get. We’d be rich.
More fine examples :
A signboard that says, in splendid grandeur ” For all occasions, use COCK.” I have also seen variants for the same brand, such as “Celebrate happy festivals with COCK.”, and “Buy the best COCK.” Eh? Oh – fireworks. COCK brand fireworks.
A lovely (but since removed) hand painted sign outside a barber shop that says, simply ‘STEP CUTTING. BOOB CUTTING.’
One of my personal favourites is a retail poster for a fashion brand called MUFTI. It features a male model striking a fashionably intense pose, with the inexplicable but brilliant slogan : “ANTI AIDS MESSAGE # 1 – APNA HAATH JAGANNATH!”
I’ll try and put up some pictures as and when i find them.
But now, to the point. This is actually a call for contributions. Any of you with camera phones, be sure to click the next such example you come across and send it to me. I’ll publish those I find entertaining, along with a link black to your blog, or site, if you have one.
