Apparently if you fall into a 60 foot deep hole in the ground you can
1) Be the subject of live breaking news on TV.
2) Get the entire nation and the Prime Minister, no less praying for you.
3) Get an amount of 2 lacs, the annual wage of several indian families for err.. ..falling into a hole.
4) Have all your medical expenses taken care of as apart of the PM's blessing package.
5) And Ah!, get the Hindu to devote 2 whole pages for the same, with photos.
This largesse is no doubt on account of the fact that Prince was not a resident of Mumbai and hence could not rely on its fabled reselience to get back on his feet.
The Mumbaikars though will have to make do with half baked responses, appeals for communal harmony, minority appeasement and a compensation of approx 4 lacs (I guess thats the amount, I could be wrong). In other words getting blown to bits on a train is only twice as bad as falling into a hole.
So do we have any takers?
