Pick one, travellers

Mumbai’s entrepreneurial spirit is never in doubt. Yet, what continues to surprise us are the various ways people seek to get their message across.

A local train had a number of paper packets stuck all over its first class compartment with the help of a bit of velcro behind them. These packets exhorted commuters to ‘Take 1’. These packets had slips of paper that promised employment opportunities. The mini flyers were rather ingeniously tucked away inside.

‘Earn Extra High Income’ they are headlined and speak of a job opportunity.

The last line read: ‘If you do not need it, please give it to someone who is in need’. Who needs the Harvard Business School when you have the spirit of Mumbai?
