Tambakoo


Some things in life are simple.

The other day in Satana, which is a town somewhere near Dhulia - if you know where that is, I learnt that the government had made it mandatory to put pictures of cancerous crabs on local zarda. Which had resulted in a 50% decline in sales.

Wow. That's cause and effect. As simple as it gets.

Of course you would have your take on what causes people to start and stop smoking :P

It's the opposite in the western world though. people begin to screen it out slowly if the pictures are too revolting.
