If you are a rich snob or a sassy dame and have a beautiful body but a shallow soul, then which car suits you? The answer is the Volkswagen Beetle.
And Bollywood seems to have developed a special liking to the Beetle, that too a yellow Beetle. First, we had the GK-2 match-maker Aisha flaunting it. The song "by the way" focused more on the Beetle knocking down pedestrians than on the actress. And now, the Yellow beetle or the Yeetle appears again in Imran-Deepika starer 'Break ke Baad".
If you have tons of money, and want to give an engagement gift to your soon to be better half, what do you pick? The answer, again my friends is the Beetle. This was done by our very own Imraan( no not the frog eyed singer...not the serial kisser either...yup the cousin or nephew or son or whatever he is of Aamir Khan), who gifted a red Beetle to his girlfriend Avantika. So dont be surprised if your girl friend expects you to gift her a Beetle for her next birthday/first hug anniversary/first kiss anniversary/first fight anniversary/...
Comfortable, convenient and classic, these were the adjectives used to describe the Volkswagen Beetle. But at 20 lakh+( and Volkswagen means "people's car" :P) for a car that is only slightly bigger than Tata Nano, "stylish without substance" would be more apt.
and Bollywood, please please ohh puhleez stop publicizing the Yeetle
subtly and thoughtfully written... i must say your skills are developing blog after blog.keep going dude...cheers!
ReplyDeleteu hav raised a nice point nicely way. keep it up
ReplyDeletethanks :)
ReplyDeletehumm .. well .. volkwagen means peoples car. the question which people are we talking about. for the average german;(my comma key aint working and m too lazy to copy paste) a Rupee20L is like 30k euros which might not be all that cheap but for a car that has a history(and technology of course) like the one it carries; i do not think its its too much to ask. then obviously banks give loans in germany too..!! :D
ReplyDeleteOf course no debate; its not the peoples car in india. its is the elitist. and as most of india according to me lives in perpetual
nonetheless; rightly said by prashant: subtly and beautifully written. :)
ah man,ps this pithy and limpid article i would like to add that u r only getting finicky for using so called "Yeetle" coz these woods(bolly/holly) have a trend to show any of these launches...
ReplyDeleteLemme remind u of ImranKhan's Amplifier and also of Fast and Furious's Honds Civic
Still praise for this new thought...
