...and my Rangeela car!

What makes people chose stuff? Like how do can a person decide what he wants when he's provided with a plethora of choices? Like when you go to a fancy restaurant, how do you know whether you want the lobster or the chicken or tofu! Yech! i hate tofu! But even before that, how do you decide which hotel to go to in the first place? Its the same with cars! No matter how knowledgeable you or your peers are in the matter of stuff with wheels, you always seem to end up with the wrong car! Take the celebs for instance, they know all the people in the world, but when it comes to buying cars, they are about as daft as Hansa and Praful! ABs have massive Lexus SUV's which are about as practical on Mumbai roads as Hair on Anupam Kher's head! MrHrithik'Akbar-Rohit-Krrish'Roshan has a porsche cayenne, which are about as pretty as a hippo's bottom! And international celebs don't stay back either! A certain Mr Leo-Di-Cap has 3 Toyota prius'es! And those cars are about as good on the roads as i am , on a stage, dancing, while juggling 3 pick-axes, in front of the President, while making a painting of Michael Jackson, with my feet, while dodging knives, thrown by a blind man! And even if somehow by some miracle, people do chose the right car, its never of the right color! People usually go tri-chromatic when buying cars! White cars are for people who are trying to compensate for not having a Bai to keep their clothes clean! Silver cars are bought by people who say they hate Rakhi Sawant, but still know the names of all the suitors on Rakhi ka swayamwar! And black cars are bought by people who join a gym, go there the first day, run on the treadmill for 6 minutes, stand in front of the mirror for 15, flexing their muscles, go home and never come back again! Now some people experiment, Pink cars are bought by guys who look at their cousins and go "hmmmm!", then they go off to get their nails done! Guys who buy blue cars are usually the dudes who cried after they kissed for the first time! People who buy yellow cars, no, not just yellow, its usually Baby-Diarrhea-Yellow, are usually the folks who believe that the best movie in the world will be directed by RGV, produced by Mahesh Bhatt, starring KRK as the male lead and Antara Mali as the Female lead, with 'original' music given by Pritam and songs sung by Himesh Reshammiya. Some people also, stray away and buy green vehicles and go for honeymooning to New Delhi and actually go to red fort for 'site seeing!' So, isn't there a color in the world which is appropriate enough to be put on a car?! hmm, well, there's 'Overused blackboard' Gray, which'll make you look like a man with 5 credit cars in the wallet and Nada money in the bank! You also have the Boiled Rhino, magenta, which'll make you look like the kinda guy who sneaks up and scares the dogs, peeing on the tyres! There's also, the 'My-ass-is-on-Fire' Rust, which depicts you as the dude who cheered the loudest when aamir hit a six on the last ball in Lagaan!! there are many more colors in the world, each for a different kind of person. So what your car's color? Shhh!! :D
