We have moved past the time when it was all about pranking our pals and siblings on April Fool’s Day. Now, if you notice, April 1 has become a day for creative ideas that sometimes make us wish they were real. This year, from the sports world to brands, there were some ideas that really caught our attention. Here are a few that got us chuckling and wishing they were true…
‘J’ for Jehangir Khan, ‘J’ for Jaggu Dada
Who will win the battle of the best therapist? While we might not have SRK sitting across from us, listening to our rants about work-life balance, heartbreaks, weight fluctuations or fine lines, having Jackie Shroff aka Jaggu Dada share his life wisdom would be quite entertaining, right? And fun is not easy to get, not in adult life at least.
‘Reality is a mental construction,’ said John Milton
Chicken nuggets can be chicken free and the doctor, who once said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach losing his medical licence doesn’t sound that absurd anymore. Neither does the idea of shorter weekdays or a drone delivery service for people stuck in traffic jams in Bengaluru. No kidding, these are actually fabulous ideas!
‘Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo’ boys can prank alright
Manish Pandey and Venkatesh Iyer trying Mithun Chakraborty’s dialogue from MLA Fatakesto to the Chandu ke Chacha reminiscent of Rohit Sharma’s cute attempt and his 17 ducks in his IPL career (including yesterday) — the KKR boys pranking each other in an April Fool’s Day reel is fun to watch. It would be even more fun to see them debut in Tollywood or at least do an advertisement in Bengali.
Now that’s what we call a breaking news
Virat Kohli playing for KKR. Dhoni playing in the T20 World Cup. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka contesting for annual F.R.I.E.N.D.S. trophy. You think it’s the heat that is taking a toll?
Elon and Disney — what?
What would actually happen if you “woke” up to the news of Elon Musk joining (read took over) Disney? As Shakespeare once wrote “There are more things in heaven and on earth…” so, we never actually know!
Eau de Innovation, err… Perfume…
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could put our phones back in the boxes every EOD to attain that New Year resolution of limited screen time, but also to wake up to that peppy feeling of unboxing a phone? There’s a smell of unboxing, IYKYK, and how we wish Oppo actually launches a perfume dispenser with its phone.
Towering heights, literally!
A luxe apartment with personal airbase in the heart of Dubai that is 380 storey tall. Construction begins on 31st February, 2025. It’s the beginning of the month and the salary is in or is on the way. Do you think a year is a good time to save up for a plush, dreamy property in Dubai? Think.
A podcast Dream Team
Imagine Lionel Messi, Taylor Swift, and Sam Altman joining a podcast to discuss RCB’s winning chances in the IPL or the traffic jams in Mumbai or Bengaluru. How does that sound? Let that idea sink in.
And then my bae said, ‘you smell like food’...
…as a compliment. Jalebi candles or pista lipsticks might actually be quite good. Especially, after a long day, where lunch was salad and evening chai was from the vending machine, crashing to a room smelling like ghee ladoo — appetising much. And if the bae says you are as priceless and exotic as pista, who’s to argue!
