The Ad world

How would you feel, if suddenly a guy comes and blows heavily on your face???
God knows what was the last thing he had. What if it was raw onions??!!  (Yuck!!!). Why did he do that at the first place?
May be he wanted your number or he wanted to impress you.
This was the thought that came to me while watching a tooth paste ad. So the creative team would have thought that the dude in the ad would be ready with his 'use it anytime' tooth paste!!

This blog of mine is dedicated to such mindless ads.

Next is, if one wants to be successful and generous and show his power, he has to eat pan masala. So what's the logical connection? Also does it mean that all the wealthy and famous people are Gutkha addicts? Or vice versa guthka addicts are secret millionaires!

One more thing I fail to understand is why do cars have hot gals seductively moving around!! One of the famous  men's deo ad shows beautiful fingers hovering over the deo can. Toilet pots have women in their ads. Why on earth? Moreover it confuses the audience, if they should focus on the swaying lady or the Product?
Housewives need to be wary. A 'not anymore famous' actor might come to audit their toilets ewwwwww!!

What does the lady with white face apply on her body to make it fair? For four weeks she must have surely dunked herself in a bathtub filled with the whitening cream!
Btw Aur kya chal raha hai is no more a normal question. You may get to hear a weird answer!
Ahhh..so many eye openers.

But there are truly some ads which make you smile, are nostalgic and at times also make you cry. Its time for the ad world to open their eyes and work on meaningful communication and connection.

So what's your favourite ad ;)

Que sera sera

One of my favorite Spanish Quotes 'Que Sera Sera' means 'what will be, will be'. This quote is so true. I may sound a bit philosophical but wanted to write this for quite some time now. There is a lot being said about being positive, dreaming and attracting what one wants,about not being broken on not getting what one wants. So many books are being sold on such topics and no doubts they make sense. Out of experience, I have realized that the base behind every advice is that what has to happen, will happen. One can't stop it. But one needs to accept what has happened and act accordingly. When a book talks about attracting what you want (say a bungalow), one can't just sit and keep dreaming. Actions need to be according to the intended goal. In achieving the said goal, we are sure to encounter a lot of obstacles. Beauty lies in facing them and planning the next steps. The world is actually a classroom, with each one being your peer and life is a very tough t...

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo...

What's in a name? I am....

I wake up early in the morning, dress up beautifully in a chiffon or silk saree, sing aarti infront of  God when everyone else is deep asleep, prepare breakfast and lunch and go and wake up my husband and kids. Both wake up to a beautiful music, suddenly there is a gush of fresh air and the tendrils in my hair flutter. I smile and look at them and wake them. The smile continues. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law treat me badly, but I'm confident that I will one day make them love me. I keep smiling. I cry, but not infront of everyone. My husband's PA is his secret girlfriend. I know but I keep smiling. My maid is into witch craft. I know..but I keep smiling and say 'sab theek hojayega maa'. I'm kidnapped, but still confident and while I'm with the kidnapper, I make sure I'm dressed up nicely. Even when I cry(alone), my eye liner and maskara are intact. Any time of the day (or night), I'm dressed impeccably. Yes I love my danglers and necklace and bang...
