Dude Puts Up 300 "I'm Sorry" Banners For His Girlfriend Around The City, Promptly Investigated By Police

TIMESNOWNEWS –  A man put up over 300 banners and hoardings in a plush locality of Maharashtra’s Pimpri Chinchwad area apparently to make up with his girlfriend after a tiff, but the antic has riled the local police.

Residents of Pimple Saudagar area of Pimpri Chinchwad, near Pune, woke up on Friday to see several posters, carrying the line “(name of the girl), I am sorry” in bold print with a heart symbol beside it in red, dotting the area especially prominent traffic intersections.

The act, however, is likely to get Nilesh Khedekar, a 25-year-old local businessman, in trouble with Wakad police approaching the Pimpri Chinchwad civic body to initiate action as per rules dealing with illegal hoardings and defacement of public property.

A Wakad police official said that investigations into the matter started soon after they were alerted to the hoardings yesterday. “We managed to zero in on his friend Vilas Shinde who had helped Khedekar get the flex hoardings printed. Through him, we traced Khedekar who is the brain behind this act,” the official said.

Well…

Did it work?  I mean how do none of these intrepid reporters include that in their story?

Kind of makes the entire difference here.  If Nilesh was able to win back Shivde’s heart, then the investigation and subsequent arrest are all totally worth it.  Even if they go Slumdog Millionaire style with the interrogation, knowing you can go home to your girlfriend’s arms with a slate wiped clean means that everything played out to perfection.  You know how hard it is to apologize to girls.  Most of the time, words won’t do it.  And even flowers, gifts, long thoughtful emails don’t do the trick these days.  It’s all about the grand gestures.  They don’t want to be told you love them, they want to be SHOWN.   And I don’t know how you show how sorry you are and how much you love someone better than custom printing 300 20′ x 20′ banners and hanging them all over the entire damn city, consequences be damned.  That’s some Indian-version-of-Nicholas-Sparks-The-Notebook type shit.

But if she didn’t accept the apology, hoo boy.  Talk about your all time backfire.  Stuck in a damp dungeon somewhere getting your nipples electrocuted while the bills for the massive apology billboards pile up in your mailbox past-due, and the knowledge you’ve got a whole ‘nother girlfriend search to go on when you get out.  Gotta redownload all the apps, update all the profiles, all while carrying around the stigma of being the banner apology bitchboy.  Tough look.
