Another SM "caption contest"

Have at it Mutineers. Let’s see some of you drop your “lurker” status and creatively describe what is happening in these news pictures (all taken in the last 24 hours). And no, the monster from the movie Cloverfield was not spotted in Mumbai in case that is what you were thinking.

Whoa. Jessica Alba is kind of hot.

For those of you who don’t have a creative bone in your body and just want the facts, here they are:

Stocks fell sharply worldwide Monday following declines on Wall Street last week amid investor pessimism over the U.S. government’s stimulus plan to prevent a recession.

U.S. markets were closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but the downbeat mood from last week’s market declines there circled through Europe, Asia and the Americas. Britain’s benchmark FTSE-100 slumped 5.5 percent to 5,578.20, France’s CAC-40 Index tumbled 6.8 percent to 4,744.15, and Germany’s blue-chip DAX 30 plunged 7.2 percent to 6,790.19.

In Asia, India’s benchmark stock index tumbled 7.4 percent, while Hong Kong’s blue-chip Hang Seng index plummeted 5.5 percent to 23,818.86, its biggest percentage drop since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. [Link]

    forget ayurveda, it’s time for some ‘head on’..’apply directly to the forehead’.. ‘head on’

  2. 1st pic: (Man with ear buds and chin beard)

    Hmmm, now that Adnan’s out of the picture, I may have a chance with Britney, I know she has an itch for that brown sugar. And you know what they say…once you go desi, you’ll go crazy. I better keep listening to Gimme Gimme to get some clues into her psyche and beef up my game.

  3. thought cloud of the dude in the background of the 3rd pic, with half-a-(naughty?)-smile and one hand (delicately placed?!) on his buddy’s shoulder:

    ‘Jessica may have a killer body … but your fat bottom still makes my world go round, Pande-ya!!’

  4. Pic # 3

    Crashing markets, the portentous ticker, The frazzl’d day-traders, ready to bicker. Even the stormy weather cast a dark pall; But thank Thor, for his consolations small. Onto her balcony, a lass jauntily came; Why, ’twas dear Shamita shame-shame! The wind-god cat-called and snickered; Skirt flies up, our lady’s de-knickered! Suing Varuna now, the lady’s quite irate; While wretched brokers marvel their fate. A second ago, to their terminals chained, Next peering skyward, their necks craned. Lakshmi etched sliver-linings on dark clouds! Finally they believed, abandoned all doubts. Poor Miss Shetty, angered, fumes and spouts, “How to punish these roguish lecherous louts?” A dozen pins in her purse, she’s armed for safety; Defense against pricks – whether deity or laity.

  5. Pic #1 – ‘It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No wait, that’s Hanuman in the beard, right behind me.”

    portmanteau, how did you get so good?

  6. Pic 1: “Is that Mukesh Ambani on the roof of his tower? What the hell… is he drunk?” Pic 2: “Damn sun in my eyes.. wait.. yeah, that’s him all right. Did you know he has two helipads up there? Arrogant bastard!” Pic 3: “Jump! Jump! Jump!..”

  7. 2nd picture…

    (Insert your favorite deity’s name here)! Madhu’s wedding/ Anshul’s college fees/ Pappu ki maa ki surgery/ kamine zamindar ka karz etc is up to you now, Lord.

  18. #2–“A great silence settled over the newly gilt city as all and sundry raised their eyes, and eventually their palms, in supplication to Invisible Hand-ji”

    Muralimannered absolutely wins! LOVE it! I was thinking along similar lines, but best I could come up with was something like:

    “The sun casts a foreboding and searing glare on an inauspicious January day while the desperate and incredulous raise their eyes and hands toward the mighty and revered BSE-Lingam.”
