Fosters Launched in Baroda

We are a state of hungry lions, no wait; we are a state of thirsty lions. And the reason is that Gujarat is a Dry State, how dry, actually, is very apparent, at least for the done it been there kinds.

But this doesn’t mean there aren’t any people who still think it’s not available in the state. There must be plenty. And it’s not humane to hang a fish in front of a hungry bear when it can’t come even close to it. It would be like Tom and Jerry, where the cat can’t eat that one thing which it likes the most. Imagine the condition.

The same kind of luring and torture to the thirsty devil was seen in the Vadodara Reliance Stadium during the Hero Honda Cup match between India and Australia. Dressed in blue mini’s lined with yellow came the ‘Drink Babes’ with a trolley that showcased, in big fonts, FOSTERS.

“Australian for Beer,” that’s what Fosters says. But what about poor Barodians, they are no way near being for beer. I am sure a lot of them present in the stadium must have headed for Daman or Div, picturing the cans and the bottles, after this spectacle that unfolded in front of them.

Now let’s take a pause and think about the players for a moment. They are obviously thirsty when the drinks arrive, and who knows what they are actually thirsty about, but their eyes and the throats had a feast for sure. But, a lot of them, especially some of our ‘Punjabi Gabru Jawans’ must have had a tough time controlling their libidos on the ground.

They can’t do much with all the cameras waiting like hawks to capture any weird expression or deed done by them and they surely wouldn’t want themselves getting caught staring at the girl’s bottoms while Sachin, the holy saint tries to fight the internal conflict.

What!! You haven’t seen that photograph??!! If you haven’t then search the net, the expressions are priceless.
