Overheard on NPR
On Morning Edition today, there was a segment about this website, OverheardInNewYork. S. Morgan Friedman and Michael Malice run this website that posts snippets of overheard conversation from all over in New York city. Initially, it was only Michael and Morgan who used to contribute to the site, but, nowadays a lot of New Yorkers send in what they overhear while they go about their day-to-day business. The website is just hilarious. It is amazing how some people can say things that they say. I am sure it is more funny because it is taken totally out of context. It is a site worth reading for a good laugh.
Suit: Hi, what's your vegetable special today?
Waitress: Ehm, let me check...Macaroni and cheese.
Suit: No, your vegetable.
Waitress: ...Macaroni and cheese.

They have also published a book, Overheard in New York that features a collection of the best snippets.
This is an excellent idea. Hope someone starts a website like this about things overheard in Mumbai's trains and buses.
