Andhra Pradesh

Where there's a wish, there's a bid Big dreams, big pockets

Bidding is hot; piping hot. What are the outlandish things you could possible bid for - the moon, the CM's car, the Jacob diamond, American President's Air Force One?

Big dreams,

big pockets

Bidding for and taking over the World Bank is my dream. It will fulfil all my desires unlimited and also ensure I have many countries in my pocket.

Out of this world

Gosh! The land costs in all planets of this solar system are flying high. So first I will bid for a good telescope and I will continue my search for a not yet explored planet, where I can get unlimited land.

How original!

I would like to bid for the huge pumpkin that the US President was holding during his recent visit to Hyderabad. What better, than make `dapallam' and treat him to it, so that we can get the American patent for it.

In God's hands

I will bid for all the seva tickets for a day in Tirumala temple and gift it to the biggest land sharks of Andhra Pradesh, who will be lured to stay inside the temple for a complete day and see all the sevas of Lord Venkateswara. Then I'll definitely get the required land from them, whatever the cost.

Sonia's laptop

I would bid for the most powerful and `use'ful item in the world - Sonia Gandhi `s personal computer with all the data accessible! And I am on the top of the world!

Princely dreams

Let me be the uncrowned king of the land by bidding for all the palaces of the country including the Palace on Wheels and become the Maharaja of Air India.

Land rush

When the gold prices have raised Uday Bhanu and her team came like a gold mine and gave gold to the participants of a programme on a Telugu television channel. Now land prices have hit the roof so let us go and ask Bhanu to give square yards of land instead of gold coins.

Platinum mine

Just the huge playground adjacent to my house is sufficient, as in the coming years this would turn into a platinum mine.

Musi is my muse

Given a chance, I will bid for the infamous but the much essential Musi River, which divides the city into old and new city. As no one would go for this stinking water body, I will win the bid for the minimum amount itself. I will purify the river by harnessing all the available technologyand become the proud owner of this tributary of River Krishna. Once the erstwhile stinking river becomes Miss Clean and leaps into history, the value of the river would be much more than Nizam's jewels or the plots of Jubilee Hills or whatever the costly stuff one wanted to bid.

The right medicine

The most coveted post is that of chief of a Government hospital. While appointing a chief, tenders should be called and highest bidder (not less than Rs. 3 crores) should be appointed.

If I win the bid and am appointed, I shall get my money back in multiples by using the following methods. Any criminal expecting arrest warrant can come to me. I can admit him in my special ward and give him chest pain, blood sugar, kidney trouble or any other disease of his choice at the drop of a hat. If any medical student wants pass marks in `viva voce' I can help him for a small consideration. I can keep my goons at the hospital main gate and hijack innocent patients and medicines to my private clinic.

Some wonders

I would bid for the European Rail network with the Eiffel Tower thrown in as a side attraction. Or for Disneyland. With bankers being so friendly these days, I wouldn't mind going for the entire Himalayan ranges.

Space Estates

I'll bid for space and divide it into house plots and sell them away at exorbitant rates when space becomes a premium on Earth. Space Estates Inc.

Neta zoo

I'll bid for the zoo and instead of keeping animals in cages, I shall send tainted politicians, corrupt officials, aya rams gaya rams into them.
