Mumbai — With a 2.26% fall in ICICI Bank shares after the USD 800M GMTN redemption, a crisis of epic proportions has gripped the city. Millions of heartbroken investors have been spotted huddling over chai and samosas, contemplating their sorrowful destiny.
Samosas and Chai: The Only Solace for Gloom-Stricken Investors
ICICI Bank shares have been on an intense roller-coaster ride, sadly with more downs than ups. Today’s drop has left the investors gloomier than a pigeon at Bandra Station on a rainy day. But, Mumbaites, a resilient breed often seen cruising through traffic jams with the determination of Shah Rukh Khan running after a moving train, have found their solace. Flooded tea stalls across the city have reported a surge in sales as investors drown their sorrows in mugs of aromatic chai and sink their teeth into comforting samosas.
Government Mulls Decorating Traffic Signals with Share Prices
Responding to the burgeoning desperation, the government is contemplating displaying live stock prices on traffic signals. “We believe this would double as a means of reminding the public about market fluctuations, and could also turn out to be a successful measure to control traffic,” reported a government official while munching on a samosa. Critics argue that this could either cause drivers to speed out of joy or slump in despair, causing chaos on the roads, to which the official laughed and responded, “Let’s just blame it on the potholes, shall we?”
Reluctant Pigeon Appointed as Equity Strategist
In an unprecedented move, Amit Pokhriyal, a local ICICI shareholder, declared his pet pigeon, ‘Tikku’, as his new equity strategist. “Tikku’s flying pattern predicts the share market movement better than any of those well-suited analysts on the television. He went left this morning and ICICI shares dropped,” said a teary-eyed Amit while sharing his last samosa with Tikku.
