In ‘Chatura’, the supplement of a Marathi daily ‘Loksatta’ dated 2nd June 2006, an advertisement has been published ridiculing the vow of ‘Vata-Pournima’ observed by Hindu women. In this advertisement, ladies instead of worshipping the banyan tree, are shown worshipping TVS model ‘Scooty pep’. It has also been shown that ladies are tying a thread to the scooty instead of the trunk of banyan tree with a wish to get the same friend forever.
