Mumbai Diaries Entry 2: AIB The Royal Turds Show

Hello Lovely People,
           Miss P here, So I promised you an article about the AIB The Royal Turds Show I went for and here it is. Sorry for the late upload but I had gone for a 2 day vacation. Sowwwiiieeee. Let's get right into it.
AIB is a group of around some 6-7 members (not really sure) and they have a concept of The Royal Turds Show. Basically this show is an award show but instead of The Best.. they have nominations for The Worst... Not only about Bollywood, it can be anything. This show is hosted by 4 of them: Tanmay Bhat, Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya, Gursimran Khamba. It was a 2 hour show and it left my stomach hurting from all the laughing. (The show content was explicit, don't watch it if you are under-age) (Miss J: P, you watched it!) Okay go watch it. You will enjoy I am sure
It stated with the 4 of them coming on stage and celebrating 101 years of Bollywood (That's a bit too much. 101 years?) They covered various aspects of Bollywood and also compared Bollywood with Hollywood. Trust me, it was hilarious. I am not going to get into details as it will ruin the show for you.
Then Khamba and Tanmay came with the first set of nominations. It was so amazing. They had nominations for so many weird things (weird in a good way). They explained and enacted each nominee which left us crying in laughter. And the award went to some random non-nominee and again they explained and enacted why.
Next up were Ashish and Rohan. (Rohan, you are hawwwwwttt) Not the point but they did pretty much the same (except the fact that all the girls were drooling at Rohan). It was hilarious and all really true and realatable. The way they did it was amazing. Their acting was amazing. They were amazing.
Again Tanmay and Khamba came up. Again Rohan and Ashish. Amazing set of nominations (I have said amazing wayyyy too many times)
Then was The Geetmala (singing) All of them along with 2 others (whose names I don't know) came up. And they had made some awesome set of songs. They changed some lyrics of some songs and made their own. What creativity! They did some Himesh Reshamiya, Atif Aslam, Anu Malik (Some Indian singers) Spoof. It was hilarious. Did you know all major pop songs are on the 4 tunes or whatever they are called. Only on 4. And in Bollywood only on 3. I mean, what??? They proved it with some more amaizng songs and stuff.
All in all a Saturday well spent. I absolutely love them. I would have gone into the details but it will spoil the show for you. DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THEIR VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE.
Mail us, tweet us, send us pictures and all that stuff.

Love you,
Xoxo,
Miss P and Miss J

Mumbai Diaries Entry 1: The Kings of Mumbai

THE KINGS OF MUMBAI?
Who are the kings of Mumbai? The Government? Psssshhh. They ain't doing anything. The Minister? probably "busy" finding out ways of making money. The police? Naaaa. Those typical Bollywood style Dons? Not really sure if they exist. So who is it? (Miss J: P, are we gonna tell them?)
It issssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
THE TAXI AND AUTO WALAS 
That is the taxi and autorickshaw drivers.
What? What? What?
Now I know you people must be confused. The taxi drivers? Seriously?
The Mumbaikars will silently agree. #TrueStory
Now let me explain. Just give me a moment.
You need taxis and autos (short for autorickshaws) everyday especially if you are below 18 like us. Taxis and autos take you places. Because let's be real who uses the public bus anymore? Ain't nobody doing that. So you spend 50 times more to travel in the "taxi" and around 30 times more for the "rickshaws" than the bus. 
(Note: For Non-Mumbaikars: In Mumbai, travelling locally is very different than other countries and cities. The Taxis and Rickshaws are the vehicles used to travel daily for those who don't have cars and bikes and scooters and all that stuff or the people who can't drive till they are 18. Which is around 60-70% of the population. And even though taxi drivers cannot say no and have to take you wherever you want, it doesn't happen. They do what they  want)
These taxi drivers don't want to go from Andheri West to Andheri Eest. They don't want to go from Ghatkopar East to Ghatkopar West. They don't want to go to Valkeshwar. Where do they want to go?
I don't know! They just say no. Or even worse go away without even replying. I mean What The Hell! How can they do that? They can't
I swear I cannot remember the number of times I have been rejected by these taxi and rickshaw drivers. No one has ever rejected me as much as you, you drivers. They say no as and when they feel like. 
So ultimately what happens is: you wait for about an hour (not joking here) till someone says yes and takes you to your destination. And then you get stuck in traffic which is 24/7 in Mumbai. Why you do this to me?
And what's worse? (What can be worse than this???) Yesss, They get their wants fulfilled while the people cannot do anything about it! I mean the taxi and rickshaw fare increased one day after they went for a strike and stopped all the taxis and rickshaws for a day. From Rs.9 to Rs.12 to Rs.15 finally for the rikshaw and from Rs.11 to Rs.14 to Rs.19 for the starting fare of the taxi. Sayyyy Whatttttttttttttt???
And when the people protested for the fact that the taxi and rickshaw drivers say no and don't agree to take people where they want, what happened? Nothing!!!
And not to mention the rise in these starting prices cut deep deep holes in a man's pocket.
Once this incident happened to me (Miss P), I had gone to my brother's house for some work. He lives in Andheri East. So for coming home I was standing for an rickshaw patiently. 1 hour and 30 minutes later I finally get the rickshaw and I am relieved. Only to realize that now is the peak time, the rush hour, when everyone comes home, and mind you it took me 3 hours to come home instead of the usual 30 minutes. 
How I hate such situations! Comment/tweet us if you have ever experienced any such thing in Mumbai or elsewhere or if you just want to tell me what you think about this! Shouldn't this stop? 
So I am going for All India Bakchod's The Royal Turds Show at Bandra tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. IST so I will be writing about it mostly. So Mumbai Diaries Entry 2 The Royal Turds Show coming real soon ;)
For those who don't know All India Bakchod is a group of people who make really amazing relatable videos on YouTube and The Royal Turds is a part of them who host award show kinda shows where they award The Worst ... titles. They are really amazing and I think you should go check them out. (They are popularly known as AIB)
Also mail us, comment, tweet us, and all that stuff
Until next time.....

Love you,
Xoxo,
Miss J and Miss P

What are posts gonna be about!

Hello Lovely People,
 How are you people doing? This post is basically about telling you our 4 monthly series (not really sure what it is called so lets go with series). An article in each series will be posted once a month. So you get it right? 4 weeks, 4 series. Plus every week an article from Miss J and one from Miss P. (Because we love you) So let's get right into this.

Mumbai Diaries: So we are The Mumbai Girls that is Mumbaikars (citizens of Mumbai) so it's pretty self explanatory that we will be posting articles about Mumbai. These articles will be about things happening in Mumbai, places we like in Mumbai (no marketing, just places good for hanging out, shopping, colleges and stuff like that) and also events we have attended in Mumbai, stuff like that. So Mumbaikars go grab your popcorn as you silently agree with us and Non-Mumbaikars enjoy and maybe get ideas for when you visit Mumbai ;)

Monthly Favorites: A lot of YouTubers do this and we are not really sure if this works with blogs but we are gonna try anyways. So for those of you who don't know what this means we will be picking out our favorite stuff and posting it here in the first week of the next month. Favorite products (any kind of products), favorite songs, books, places, quotes, blogs, videos, anything. Whatever we like! (Send us an email/tweet us if you want us to try any product you like or any of your monthly favorites, we would absolutely love to hear from you and check it out)

Girl Diaries: Pretty self-explanatory. Stuff about/for girls. Anything ranging from make-up, nails, clothes, to dates, getting dates, boys and all of that stuff. (Guys, it'll help you get to know girls better, so hang around, you never know). So again, you can mail/tweet us if you want us to write an article about something or if you want to ask for some advice. Because we are good at this stuff (Miss J: Who are we kidding? We know nothing) No but ask us we'll try to help

Rants: Hear us rant about various things.

So I hope you enjoy our blog! The first article in Mumbai Diaries will be up. It's called Kings Of Mumbai. Do you know who the real kings of Mumbai are? Whatever you are thinking is not right. Trust me, You won't know what hit you ;)

I Thought You Might Want To Get To Know Us!

Hello Lovelies,
We are really lost right now. Not really sure how to start but we are gonna try anyways. We? Yes. So let us begin with some basic introductions, information blah blah blah. So Hi I am Miss P and sitting next to me is Miss J. She says Hi. Anyways we are 17 year olds living in the city of Mumbai, in the country of India! Yayy! *fakes enthusiasm* So we decided to remain anonymous because let's face it's more fun that way. We consider ourselves ninjas #ninjafail . We have always been passionate about writing. So why not start a blog? So hi, we are Those Mumbai Girl. We have just completed 11th Grade or FYJC year  and are ready (as ready as we can ever be) (which is never) to step into the education terror (Is that even a word?) that is the 12th Grade or HSC Board Exam Year (For those who don't live in Mumbai, or India for that matter, this is the exam one has to give that determines the degree college and our career. So yeah, no pressure. No pressure at all) This is a very important academic year for the both of us but we will be posting articles every week. Articles about what? So yeah we will be posting about various trends, Mumbai life stories, teenage stuff and we might even do product reviews if you want (We are girls, we are into all of that). We both have our colleges at the opposite ends of Mumbai but we have been school bestfriends for 3 years and live nearby so we are doing this together. 
Names: Miss J and Miss P
Age: Miss J is 16 and will turn 17 in a few months and Miss P is 17
Birthdays: 31st December, 2014 (No that's a lie. We aren't disclosing it just yet)
Address: Not disclosing it. It's Mumbai, India
Hobbies: Well we are really lazy people to be honest. So our hobbies include reading books, stalking people, spending all our time on social media sites, and a bunch of other boring stuff like that.]
Talents: Our total of talents for the both of us is 0. Not even joking. (Miss P: Hey I am talented. I know how to take the perfect selfies, I know everything about everyone, I speak sarcasm fluently and the list goes on. Miss J: P, get real here) K. We don't have any real talents.
In a relationship with: Miss P- With my phone. Duh? Haven't you seen Superwoman's video? And also food (Yeah I am dating two people. I am so bad, I know) Miss J- Single ;)
To Reach Our Heart: Give us food
