She: Hey! Nice jacket. Where did you get it from? Me: Guess. She: Ummm... Banana Republic? Me: Errr... no, Guess! She: Ok! Why dont you just tell me? Me: I bought it from GUESS! (silent moment) She: Oh! Hehehe!
#Princess: LOL! I doubt I would be shopping there tho!
#Idea: Hmmm... used makes a good brand name for Jeans! So I think!
#Searching: Tell me about it. Altho' I personally think it makes a very smart brand name. Gets the 'young' generations attention! And spreads quick in terms of viral marketing!
hahahaha... recently a friend of mine was trying to access the internet from her '3' mobile and requested someone to open the window so the network could have access to the sky... which confused another friend and prompted her to ask 'But you're using 3, why would you need 'Sky' to access the internet???!!!!'
'Sky' being the TV,Broadband etc supplier out here... Brand names, brand names...
Brands are not only weird... but they get weirder when they sound it up..with a political or a constitutional... word... for, e.g, Banana Republic... I wonder if someone would come up with ... a similar suggestive name such as ..Strawberry Democrat... o well.. it doesn't make sense either way... so back to study... :(
Out of curiosity just to make sense...Something I learned today, that the term 'Banana Republic' can also be used to describe a country where a large part of its economy and politics are controlled by foreign powers or even corporations....
With an addition to browsing today's BBC south Asian section, an article on 'Indian aid money 'goes missing'...
(link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7058793.stm ) (if it interest u !)
I think pretty much to my fear our Des is gonna be branded as, Dhokele Gaṇarājya .
Yet, I still have hope...that people may change for good... just because I happen to believe in happy ending ... and also don't want to end my day with heavy heart :(
O well... at least the clothes of Banana Republic are good... something to be happy about the name "Republic" !!! :)
LOL...you are so allergic to Gujaratis... that it has shifted its status from being Funny to Irritable to Whatever :P to Being Funny Again ! :P
Gujaratis are not that bad... we do notable things ...Gandhi was one... and he did some good work... Someday Ms. Mistry will also do some good work too :) ... Tab dehkna ... you will be like... "Oh, I know this Gujarati Blogger..." :P And I am so much going to be like ... "Who is this Apoo" :P
BTW.. recently got an internship at United Nations, thought I'd share :) However, A part of me loves math too :) so please do know that I will be applying for summer. Hopefully, things work out well :)

LOL!
Imagine if there was a brand called "Your Closet?" That would be ace!
Precisely so people like you would ask and think about it, I guess. I once saw a brand of jeans called 'Used'. :-)
Almost as bad as 'FCUK'! :))

#Neetal: I am wondering what the desi version of Banana Republic would be :)
