Check out the WTF juxtaposition of the day:
On the day Citigroup announced 52,000 job cuts it emerged that Bipasha Basu will be making Rs 1.5 crore for her star turn at Sahara Star on 31st night.
The moral of the story: If you’re a banker, get yourself a boob job.

And what better time to write a sequel to my poem, “Farmers Are Dying in Vidarbha”?
Vidarbha Strikes Back
by Amit Varma
I write this ditty from an AC mall
I’ve got money and will burn it all
While farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
Today at work they set me free
So I came on this shopping spree
While farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
I’ve got loans to pay, EMIs and such
I can’t afford to splurge too much
While farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
Farmers are dying, Oh farmers are dying
Farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
I’m buying left, and I’m buying right
I spend at day and I shop at night
While farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
I’ve gone nuts, I’m sure you think
The economy’s in the kitchen sink
And farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
I cannot help this spending urge
It’s like sex, I’m driven to splurge
While farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
Farmers are dying, Oh farmers are dying
Farmers are dying in Vidarbha.
But hey, what d’ya say, look at it this way
Farmers are passe, we need something new today
What about bankers dying in Vidarbha?
Bankers are dying, Oh bankers are dying
Bankers are dying in Vidarbha.
