Who doesn’t enjoy a good pun? Who wouldn’t spot the intentional use of an aberration, homophone or idiom to misrepresent the apparent meaning of a phrase or sentence? Who wouldn’t be up for word-induced chuckles? In a first, the Kommune community that’s known to host poets, singers and storytellers, is organising Pungama, a competition for smart puns.

Describing the format for the event, Shantanu Anand, who handles public relations for Kommune, says, “We deal in words and when someone pitched this unique idea to us, we thought of giving it a try. There will be 12 participants in total. A common theme will be given to them in each of the three rounds, and they have to be at their punny best in 10 seconds.”
