A blog that captures the happenings in Maharashtra and rest of the Marathi World (Bruhanmaharashtra) through the eyes of a 3M – Madhyamvargiya Marathi Manoos (Middleclass Marathi Man). Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the “worldview”. Just a somewhere-in-between viewpoint… but a firm viewpoint indeed!

The Docomo Ad that irritated Raj Thackeray
Raj Thackeray has warned Ad makers/ Film makers/ Serial makers not to take 'Creative Liberty' when it comes to portraying Marathi Manoos... But 3M is even more disgusted with the stereotyping of servants as 'chor'!
Hey Bhargo, visiting your blog after a long time. Good to see that it is active again. Regarding the ad, I agree it was in bad taste and in fact stupid even from a creative viewpoint. But the filmmaker was well within his right to make it even if it was bad, tasteless and dumb.

Welcome back!
This is so lame..
Raj is angry because the bai in the ad is a maharashtrian..
If the bai was anything else at all, he wouldn't even have noticed because hes a hypocrite
