World Cup Fever

Concurring with my friend Rorschach, Hurricance World Cup has landed in Kolkata.

Off Southern Avenue, in a bye-lane, there is a 10 ft. long Brazilian flag hanging on an electric wire. Not to be outdone, right next to it is a 15 ft. long Argentinian flag.

By the looks of it, Argentina are wee bit ahead in the game of oneupmanship but, as they say, picture baki hai mere dost. Rumour has it that the Brazlian supporters have pooled in their resources and are counter-attacking with the help of the local tailors.

In this gripping tactical battle, the only one who is totally screwed is Kolkata Municipal Corporation's poor electric wire.
