The wait is over! This week, a gaping Tamil populace found out the colour of actress Jyotika’s wedding saree. Colours – with an ‘s’ – to be precise, because there are 54600 of them – all in one saree! RmKV Silks has launched a set special edition silk sarees, which will most probably enter the Guinness book for having the most number of colours. Already a record holder for weaving the longest silk saree, RmKV will sell only 50 such sarees, each for Rs. 50000. They say that’s a throwaway price because the cost of weaving each saree is said to be – catch your breath – Rs. 25 lakhs!
Mr. & Mrs. Idly Sambar
The Indian Express reports that weary travellers on the Chennai-Bangalore highway can now find refuge in the hospitality provided by Mr. & Mrs. Idly Sambar. That’s the name of a new restaurant now serving people near Sriperumbudur. Though it has had humbled beginnings, its owners are planning to expand it in a big way. So don’t be surprised if you find a plush and comfortable hotel on the highway in the years to come!

Tom Peters has posted quite a few interesting entries on his blog in the past week. I particularly enjoyed Congratulations, Phil, 2 + 2 = 25 = Death Penalty and Beating Wal*Mart is a lark!

Am I hearing aright? Jo’s marriage? Tut..tut… to write about damned sarees at this time!
Nah, my friend, don’t lose heart yet. The reference was to a teaser ad which features Jyotika asking everyone, “Guess what the colour of my wedding saree will be.”
So the good news is she is still single. Are you looking?
But I dint like the saree. Looks like the color card we r given, when we go to select paints for painting our homes.
