Auto Bengaluru

I inquired a friend's sister if she had visited UB City; didnt expect that she will check the abbreviation of UB. I completely was taken off-guard; didnt realise that I had forgotten the full form of UB. I mentioned Vijay Mallya, Kingfisher, the hospitals, airline....but didnt get the full form.

This haunted me hell, nine years in Bangalore and could not come out to answer one simple question. I could not be in peace, as I travelled through, obviously in our famous Bengaluru Autos; this kept disturbing. I finally got bevereages but then I could not figure out if U stood for Urban, Ultra....arre yaar kya!! uff

I made courage, didnt think much, I just pulled myself forward and asked the auto driver...
Bhaiyya yeh UB group aapko maaloom hain na?
Auto guy: haan madam....
Uska full form kya haian bhaiyya?
Aut guy: Kya United Beverages pooch rahe madam?
Thanks bhiayya thanks

UNITED BEVERAGES!!!! he he he

I decided to post this as my first comment, one such experience and more to be shared that happened in the last nine years :)

any ad agencies watching UB Group...can make out an ad out of this!
