New Delhi:
The Indian Metereological Department has begun the practice of naming Cyclones, adopting a practice followed in the U.S., which has in the past given us names for natural disasters like hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Director General of the IMD has announced that henceforth cyclones, hurricanes and tornadoes hitting the country would be named after ‘Item Girls’, saying that the physical destruction caused by cyclones mirrored the moral destruction caused by Item Girls.
The first cyclone to occur after the system kicks off will be named Cyclone Helen, to honour the services rendered by the foremost item girl produced by the Indian Film Industry to date. The Met Dept has tentatively decided to name the Cyclone following Cyclone Helen as Cyclone Sridevi to recognize the contributions of Ms. Sridevi who was known as ‘Thundering Thighs’ during the peak of her career.
A list of the most popular item girls in each year would be drawn up and cyclone names would be decided in order of popularity.
