Forbes and Twitter: The Happenings

The Forbes office was met with an apology of sorts that went something like ‘those lofty standards cannot work here. We are pleading with Forbes to lower their threshold otherwise we are likely to get a Forbes 0 under 30 situation’. The somewhat loquacious minister who has been uncharacteristically mute in parliament lately seems to have come back more rejuvenated. And as she argued the case for locals I thought I saw a tattoo on her neck that said something like ‘minister: now new and improved’.

And she won! Main Mall which is now essentially a place where government enclave employees buy cooked tripe from ladies with big pots came alive and half the GC citizens were happy as pockets bulged from the Forbes 30 spin-offs. Sorry Forbes 30 under 30 - this takes getting used to and I hope by the time I get to the end of the column I’d be on the right lane. Main Mall basically got its groove back. Our country has been shorn of excitement for some time and Forbes provided an opportunity to amp the excitement.
