Lifestyle, Landmark and Ambani trivias

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Does anyone know the difference between Lifestyle and Wills Lifestyle?

Lifestyle is the retail arm of dubai based Landmark group. Wills Lifestyle is the retail arm of ITC group.
To make matters worse, both have their branches in Citi center :(

BTW, Landmark, as in the Landmark book store founded by Hemu Ramiah, is now a part of the TATA enterprise, Trent ltd.

Aaga motham, Landmark TATA vodadhu, Lifestyle Landmark odadhu, Aana idhu vera adhu vera… bah!
RIL Ambani odadhu. REL - um Ambani odadhu…. Aana idhu vera adhu vera!!

Crazy mohan, visu’s dialogues are easier to understand anyday.

Check out this story in Outlook

The photograph was the only good thing about the story. I am sure some would shrug it off as that ‘Northie’ thing. ‘Chennai is conservative’ goes the popular refrain. Wrong! People in other parts of the country do whatever they want. People in chennai call themselves conservatives and still do whatever they want, under cover. That’s the difference. I know a lot of folks who drink. Some are women.

I am neither a conservative nor a hypocrite. One reason I can never ever agree is the theory that career minded women drink to ‘relax’ themselves. Huh!
I am concerned about my female friends who drink, especially after reading the doctors’ views in the article.

Paarthu kudinga thaai kulame!

Ellam nera kodumai!!
