Welcome to Mangoville
A funny magazine to make your day not so serious. Eating a mango is recommended – Unfunny President of Mangoville First things first. Some people (even those who know me well), ask me why the domain name of this website is not gender neutral. Like – ‘mangopeople.world’. The inspiration behind the name was RK Laxman’s…

There are some patriots left (Part One)
No one had any high expectations from Mangoville’s sellout media and thugs like Rickshaw Rowdy who have quickly jumped ship and joined forces with the invading aliens. Our poor Supreme Leader is caged in a dungeon by the beer swigging alien lord who seems to be getting increasingly comfortable here. With their superior technology and…

Fruity Farookh opens a restaurant
After I won entrepreneur of the month award, Mangoville State Bank offered me a loan to start a restaurant, even when I didn’t ask for one. They said “take it, we don’t even open accounts for anyone until they perform 108 surya namaskars in front of us and here we are at your doorstep with…

Mojo Mahalingam answers tough questions
I want to put all speculations to rest. There has been a lot of talk about Mangoville being hostage to crony capitalism, that it is an oligarchy or a plutocracy. I don’t understand any of these terms. Writers keep coming up with new ones all the time and it is difficult to keep up. Aunty…

AI in policing: Macho Murugan steps up
Supreme Leader is after my life. He wants to know how we can leverage Artificial Intelligence to create a better policing experience for citizens . I don’t know what he means by that. Using so many complicated words in a sentence when I am just B.A. pass. People don’t want to experience police. They want…

Transparency Zindabad
Our Supreme Leader is known for his candid views on matters related to governance. For instance, last week in an interview to international news portal Al Bagheera, he said that 90% of Mangovillains are stupid and hence policies do not bear fruit. He also said that only complaints will not do and citizens need to…

ChatSwamy
Alright, I admit defeat. But I was not in a race. I simply wasted lot of time in naming my AI Chatbot. I always wanted to name it ChatSwamy, but Mishra ji was not in favour of it. According to him it sounded like the name of a pani puri shop, the sort that has…

Melon Husk buys Jitter
Sir, I am not liking this Melon Husk fellow buying Jitter and bringing wash basin to office. What does he think he is? Last week one customer forgetting mobile phone in my auto rickshaw and I am going to his office to return, the security fellow is asking me stupid questions. Why? Who? When? All…

Economics 101 by Professor Ultashastri
Allow me to introduce my latest crony – the esteemed Professor Ultashastri from the Department of Economic Mismanagement at the University of Mangoville. Before Professor took charge, the department was infested with fools who promised economic management but their policies led to disaster, one by one, with each policy resulting in the exact opposite of…

Superpower Swamy unveils K-Pop app
Chaos is what you get when you don’t avail services of experts. Supreme Leader has been going around asking for donations to fill potholes of Baiganpally roads, completely oblivious to the fact that I have the exact superpowers needed to solve the problem. He was also seen urging people to use public transport when I…

Job hunt lands Susie in trouble
Ever since I helped Macho Murugan rescue Baby Malini, I have been flooded with congratulatory messages. And marriage proposals. This is what our resident Five Rupee Troll had to say: Oye Sooji, I am your biggest fan. I am liking dashing women like you who kick ass of Rowdies. You are definitely my type. I…
