16th March 2008 :: Up y...

One of our favorite pastimes is creating controversies out of thin air. Sometimes it is the insult of flag by Sania Mirza if not her dress and sometimes it is the “Biharis” and “Bhaias” in Bombay. I am surprised how come no one has protested about the new two rupees coins. The earlier design has a cross. Although it is not a cross of Jesus Christ but that shouldn't stop the VHP, RSS and other groups to start protesting against it. The other coin that is featured here shows a hand. To some it may represent the “V” of victory as made popular by Winston Churchill and to some others if may represent the “Up yours”...or is it just “2” for two rupees. Highly unlikely.
