Knowing an opportunity when you see one

As I was driving around Pune today, I saw a Elephant and its mahut ambling along the side of the road.



It made a pit stop outside Big Cinemas Gold Adlabs in Kalyani Nagar. People and kids around were excited and giving the elephant stuff to eat. I noticed a bannana seller doing a brisk business on his Bannana Cart



I didn't pay too much attention to the crowd and scrambled to get my tickets for a future show. After confirming number of people coming for the show, the customary line to pick up the tickets etc I set off for home. That is when I noticed the elephant ambling along Koregaon Park with the bannana seller in tow. After all, who can resist the urge to feed the adorable pachyderm?

Disclaimer:

Didn't get to actually take pictures at that time. So linked them from elsewhere.

Iron Man 2

Went for Iron Man 2 today. The reasons I would recommend it to someone else

1) Scarlett Johansson


2) You enjoy vicarious excitement

Lot of action. Not much of a story line. Tony Stark's life being what we would all probably give an arm and leg for are about all the movie has to offer.

Disappointed
