Vijay Mallya and the Art of Fleeing

The news of Vijay Mallya leaving India has hit social media hard...with jokes on the King of Pauper Times.

He may run, he may hide, but the jokes will catch up to Vijay Mallya. No sooner did news breakout that Mallya had already left India on March 2 to escape Indian laws, social media platforms started circulating jokes and memes faster than Mallya can spell the word “bankruptcy”.

Some even combined Vijay Mallya’s flight with that of the Art of Living controversy that has recently sparked, with the AOL event taking place in the ecologically fragile Yamuna floodplains.

So long, and thanks for all the Kingfisher
