All-purpose, anytime Mitra

Mid Day's Society page has a snippet which says:
Ever since she was filmed washing a car in Musafir, Koena Mitra has been receiving SMS messages from numbers she doesn’t recognise to say, “I have a dirty car too…”

Thoroughly amused, Koena says, “Most of the time I just think it’s funny. I’m a single girl and I can do with some male attention!”

I wonder if the thought ever crossed her mind that the people SMSing her might just be women. After all, women have cars too. In fact, I can just about imagine this scene at a kitty party:
Sheelaji: Oh, Dahlinks, I am so traumatised today, my car is dirty. Who should I call?

Chorus of fat middle-aged ladies: [as if they're singing Ghostbusters] Koena Mitra!

Deepaji: Oh, Mua, Mua, girls, my kitchen is full of cockroaches and my toilet plumbing doesn't work. Who should I call?

Chorus of fat middle-aged ladies: Koena Mitra!

Mrs Tandon: Nice pakodas, ji, but too oily. I need a foot massage. Who should I call?

Chorus of fat middle-aged ladies: Koena Mitra!
