Your attention please ! Peppy  ' Tapori '  speaking . Majority of Mumbai's population is in the teenage bracket. It's natural to communicate with you in your ' boli ' , and your ' boli ' is ' Tapori '. Thanks to the generally exhilarating mood of youngsters, Tapori sounds Peppy . Once upon a time .

Aha....The source of cologne stiletto-ed in the compartment and took the opposite seat. Instinctively my stare followed her from toe, stilettos actually to her head shimmering with highlighted, silky glory of auburn hair, piled up in a chic French-Roll. I know, you are craving for details ... so ...
