The Ways of This World

A "jinxed" mobile number has been suspended in Bulgaria. I do not know anything about the number being jinxed but was is apparent from the article is that two of the three owners are not exactly what one would call law-abiding model citizens. So my take from this article is trade wars in Bulgaria are intense and there is a lot of organized crime. Is that reason enough to get superstitious and suspend the number?

In other "news" Shah Rukh Khan has more than 400,000 followers on Twitter. There was a time some time back when I thought there was an overload of this guy. After a point it gets boring and irritating. There is something called overselling oneself I believe.

The Delhi High Court has issued a stay order on the strike of Air India employees.  So if the strike continues the employees can be held in contempt of court. In related news the SC has asked courts to exercise caution as far as contempt of court is concerned. It is difficult to digest the reason behind the strike - a gag order issued against speaking anything about the Mangalore crash. I am reminded of the UAW. The airline is already struggling. The unions protested vehemently against pay cuts some time back. Will Air India's unions be the cause for its downfall?
