New Delhi: The Delhi government on Friday cancelled the permits of 600 Blueline buses, often dubbed 'killer buses'. It has been estimated that it has ferried more passengers beneath its wheels than over its wheels.
"It has been decided to immediately cancel the permits of 600 Blueline buses due to violation of permit rules, including non-operation. We are committed to phase out Blueline buses in the near future," Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said.
Captain G R Gopinath of the Air Deccan fame who was stranded at the Airport due to Air Deccan Flight Cancellation hurriedly called the Press Conference to announce its new acquisition. “We are a low Cost airline; we will do anything to reduce the operational Cost. We have decided to recruit all the Laid off Blue Line Bus drivers as our New Pilots”, said The Amused Captain; Tired of the Deccan delay, boarded the Kingfisher Airline.
Air Deccan is Pretty Similar in operation to Blue Line buses, there will not be much Cultural Shock for the Drivers joining Air Deccan. The Blue Line drivers have the innate ability to overlook the Bus Stops and this is in rhythm with Air Deccan’s Policy to reduce the Ground Time at the airport of our Planes.
They will contribute to the efficiency of the airline currently hovering at .98765%, Blushed Captain GR Gopinath.
We had this long desire of starting Non Stop flights, I am sure the new Pilots bring with them a rich experience of not stopping at all for passengers.
It’s pretty easy up there. The Blue Line Drivers would not require any special aviation Training. Talking to the Air Traffic Control would be much more easier for these people since they have the natural experience of simultaneously Talking on the Mobile Phones, listening to radio, honking horns when not required, playing cards, reading newspaper and abusing passengers while driving in high stress environment on Delhi streets.
“It’s a win win situation for Air Deccan”, Answered Gopinath to visibly upset Citizen Journalist Varun Sadana, who once lost his Job and other time his Girlfriend when he could not reach on time via Air Deccan.
The Co-pilots would also be from Blue Line buses only, said GR.
Blue Line bus drivers have this unwritten rule that they will stop midway to help the fella driver repair his bus, Shift all passengers from his friends bus to his own overloaded bus.
We need this kind of mutual understanding between our pilots due to frequent Mid Air cancellations. Also our fleet is either second hand or flying by God’s grace, this experience would help Air Deccan.
Answering to the question raised by Citizen Journalist Varun Sadana on the jobs for the laid off bus Conductors, Nikhil Taneja, the spokesperson for Air Deccan said, “ That’s going to be easy, We are even more Generous than Blue Line Buses, the minimum fair on Blue Line bus is Rs 4/- . We offer tickets at Rs 1/-. We are soon planning to introduce Conductors on our Boeing planes to issue current tickets. We will soon get rid of the ground staff this way. Remember, we are a lost cost airline.”
The Air Deccan’s Vision is unique, “We are highly customer disoriented, Not Reaching on Time, Not letting others reach on time, Mid air cancellations, Misplaced bookings, lost luggage has been the vision of Air Deccan and so that of Blue Line Buses. I am sure the collaboration will phase out Air Deccan just like Blue Line from Delhi streets.” said GR, who was by this time completely stressed out as he was deplaned from the Kingfisher Airline on charges of eve-teasing an Air-Hostess.

COLONEL’S CALL
No wholesale changes, only retail: Vengsarkar
Abhimanyu Girotra Onloose. Pilferage Inc
He stops short (thankfully) of envisioning, the kind of crisis that
Ironically the exit of the big three was apparently the reason of Vengsarkar’s survival in the International Cricket.
They just need to be ready for the bad light day and Duckworth Lewis will take care of the rest,’’ he added. He reluctantly accepted that the selectors and the Board had a particularly important role in the emerging scenario.
We can take away a lot of positives from the tour. It's not very easy to lose a three test series after being one-nil up, but commendable thing about the players is that they don’t get carried away by the extra swing, they just allow their wickets to get carried away.
Commenting on the poor performance of the Team of late, ‘‘I am sure the team will come good. We anyway always take some time to adjust to the pitches and conditions when we are traveling, by that time the series usually end like 4-0’’ he conceded meekly.

The Remaining 7 Wonders of the World
Pratibha Patel:
She is the Wonder of the Wonders because she is been only creating Wonders even before being the Wonder President.
Her innate ability to talk to spirits and has given her Ghost writers a run for their Money.
Also one can expect her to be busier than Kalam because unlike Kalam she will be meeting with LATE ministers (e.g. Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Lord Mountbatten) apart from former and ex Ministers.
Also she has promised that Beating the Retreat ceremony at the Republic day which she presides on would be replaced by Beating of Bhairon Singh Shekhawat…dhum.. dhum
Rajnikanth:
The Queen of England was obliged to confer the Honorary Sir title to him.
His extra flexible this side up stunts can induce inferiority complex and can give one sleepless night.
Tom Cruise Mission Impossible series might soon be passé owing to mesmerizing dialogue delivery of Rajnikanth.
Down South, the mass following of Rajni is so rampant that the Sponsors of the Red and White bravery awards have withdrawn the prize money because every single maadi had started imitating him in south and was filing for the bravery award….
Geoff Lawson:
He will be the new Pakistan Cricket Coach, replacing Late Bob Woolmer. He is pretty ecstatic about his new contract since his contract has no “Date of Expiry clause”, as was there in Woolmer’s.
In the lawless Pakistan team Lawson will face challenges like, Shohab Akhtar erratic behavior, Inzammam’s ever reluctance to run and making sure that Geoff doesn’t stay alone in a hotel room after Pakistan looses a world cup match….
The Pakistan cricket team has had eight coaches in the past 11 years.
Paris Hilton:
If you a paparazzi and have declining sales, start writing about her, about any thing, her snoring rate, her split ends, her dog’s biscuit company annual sales. You will make a fortune. Even if you have a 999 channel TV you just cannot escape the dumb blonde.
NRI, Sant Singh Chatwal:
Chatwal, who thinks that the capital of Punjab is New York (and not Canada), is the right hand of Hilary Clinton (That doesn’t necessarily mean Bill Clinton is the Left one).
After Hilary wins the Presidential election, Singh hopes to replace America’s Vice President Post with Akali Dal leader Prakash Singh Badal, the Defense Minister’s post with Derra Saccha Sauda Chief and the most important of all The Public Relation Ministers Post with Navjot Singh Sidhu.
The Ever Dropping Dollar:
With the present trend, the day is not far when 1Rs =$40. Apart from Economic disaster it well caste on the world there would be some cultural issues like Americans migrating to India. That would mean India would issue Green cards and America Ration Cards Punjab would go to America; Canada will come to India, another Punjab.
Above all, India would get Paris Hilton; America would get Rakhi Sawant. Now that will be a cultural shock…
Karunanidhi, The TN CM
The brand Ambassador of stock clearance stock of Ray Ban goggles. This man is more than just a chief minister. Last heard he is in talk with varies political parties to start a Rock Band. That would include Jyoti Basu( lead Guitarist) , Chandra Babu Naidu( flute player ) and MK Stalin ( Saxophone )
And the name of the band: Jay Lolitta..

By Tea Stall Owner, Outside Satyam Cineplex.
Film critic, Pilferage Inc.
Fans of singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya, if any will be quite pleased with his debut film as an Actor – ‘Aap Ka Surroor: The Moviee: The Real Luv Story’.
The movie is directed by Himesh’s longtime friend Prashant Chaddha, who claims that he was forced to give Himmesh the lead role. Prashant adds, the movie is not based on Reshammiya’s life and that’s the only reason it did not go off the halls on the very first day. It is a fiction story, like Panchatantra that anyway answers some FAQs about the singer-musician.
In his acting debut, Himesh is too uptight before the camera.For the most part he wears a brooding look, as he his consciously aware that he can be a better cap seller than being an actor.
The emotions that he expresses in the film are those of sadness, pain, anguish, helplessness and anger. In fact it feels that Himesh is quite aware of the Box Office results even before the release.
‘Kap Ka kasoor’ tells the story of HR (Himesh), a rock star on a musical tour in Germany. He falls in love at first sight with Riaa (Hansika Motwani), the event manager of his concert.
On the other hand, there is Ruby (Mallika Sherawat), the partner of the organizer of the concert. Ruby is in love with HR, the only heroine to have agreed to play this derogatory role.
Though HR doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. He loves Riaa.
HR’s troubles apart from his dreaded acting, begins with the murder of a TV journalist.
Convinced of HR’s guilt, Riaa’s father (Sachin Khedekar) fixes her marriage with another man.
Now, HR has two options: To run away from police captivity or start Singing continuously in the prison so that police is forced to release him.
What did he do? Curious? By all means you don’t have to watch the entire movie for it.
‘Tere baap Ka Kasoor’ is based on a wafer thin plot, Chacha Chaudhry aur Saboo is still a better read. The film’s script and dialogues are very filmy.
For all those who still insist on going to theaters please please please carry your Walkmans, handheld video games or may be playing cards. It is best advised not to take infants to the theater. On the first day first show there were incidences of people jumping out of even the fire exits.
For all the contenders for the Indian idols, the film’s USP is its music. Songs like ‘Asalaam Valekum’, ‘Tera Mera Milna’, ‘Tanhainyan’ and ‘Mehbooba’ should never ever be sung in front of Anu Malik or Javed Akhtar.
If you are a Reshammiya fan, ‘Aap Ka Surroor’ is worth a watch. Though after the interval you may find people pulling one’s neighbors hair and even singing “Mera kya Kasoorrrrrrrr…… Ohhhhhhh Huzzzzzooooooorrrrrr”
Though we could not find any reviews or ratings on newspapers for the movie but there were some who gave these ratings:
Himesh Reshammiya Times: *****
Physic Science Magazine: ****1/4
Mentally Retarded Society Newsletter: ****1/2

I talk English, I Walk English
UP village boy suddenly acquires American accent
14 Jul 2007, 0007 hrs IST Pilferage Inc.
LUCKNOW: A 14-year-old Dalit boy, born and brought up in a remote village of western Uttar Pradesh, has suddenly turned angrez. Rajesh, without any evident help, has started speaking fluently in English and does so with a proper American drawl, which even Americans are finding tough to decipher.
Wonders do not cease with this: His knowledge of physics and mathematics has left engineering students baffled, who more or less are baffled with their own lives. So it’s quite understood why he targeted the Engineering students.
Having already penned three books, the names of which Rajesh has denied to share with the media, Rajesh is now looking forward to some research work.
ISRO, which has been facing tremendous attrition rate this year, has promised a Senior Scientist Job to Rajesh also.
All of this may sound like a Bollywood script on one of its favourite themes, reincarnation. However, Rajesh, a resident of a nondescript village 40 km from Saharanpur, refuses to call it so. Though he claims that he has seen Sivaji 15 times till date.
In his words: "There is no concept of reincarnation. It is just that memory can’t be destroyed till there are sound waves in the world." This very statement has irked Google Chief in California who has spent his entire life in making memory storage more compact.
Meanwhile Aaj Tak reporter Deepak Chaurasiya has built a make shift house outside Rajesh’s house. He has dedicated his life to true journalism and has been covering each movement of Rajesh and as expected Aaaj Tak’s TRP has once again taken a beating
