It\'s breakfast time... Banana? Egg? Take your pick; keep pockets heavy
Mumbai: After actor Rahul Bose’s banana controversy that led to J Marriot being fined with Rs 25,000 by the Excise Department for selling bananas at an exorbitant price, it is the time for eggs to grab the headlines.
A Twitter user was charged Rs 700/- for two boiled eggs at Four Seasons Hotel, IANS reported.
Author Kartik Dhar has posted his bill with the caption, “2 eggs for Rs 1700 at the @FourSeasons Mumbai”. He tagged actor Rahul Bose and asked, “Bhai Aandolan Karein (Shall we protest)?”
