Advertisements...

Me and my friend aaloka can suddenly start off talking about TV advertisements and can go on forever. It doesn't take us too much effort to begin singing all the funny ads that used to come on TV when we were kids. Like dipika-ji aaiye aayie.. . par nirma super hi kyu... then dipika-ji delivers the punch line "dhulai ka super dam, daam phir bhi kam", or else the nerolac ad "jub ghar ki raunat badhani ho, diwaaron ko jab sajaana ho---nerolac....nerolac!!" or "ye bechara, kaam ke boj ka maraa---isse chahiye....hum dard ka tonic, sinkara" or "jub mein chhota baccha tha, badi shararat karta tha, meri chori pakadi jati.....ting ting ting ting... jub roshan tha bajaj!!" ...and many more stupid stupid ads. Not watching TV is something, now I am totally used to. I don't miss the soaps and don't miss all the reality shows, quiz contests, sports, cartoons...Absolutely none of these that I miss. But even now I sometimes feel like watching ads. I go on youtube and see them too. Here are some links to some old indian ads on you tube.

Vicco ad.1
Vicco turmeric ayurvedic cream!!
Ek anek old doordarshan ad.
Gold spot ads
Hamara Bajaj
Mogli songs (odd man in)
Ofcourse the Cadbury dairymilk ad

Enjoy!!!

The "What next...?" demon

What next?.... When I was a kid, I always thought that there is a certain age till when this question will bother me and after that, like for my parents, things will be in order. Life will fall into a routine and I will never again be confronted with this demon called "what next?". But turns out, for our generation, there is no point of rest. The demon is a part of our life like stability was for the generation before us. This realisation is also stale by now. In fact, it has been more than a few years since I even resigned to this way of life. The time period between such a realisation and resignation was hard, I must confess. But not anymore! The confrontations with this demon are a reassurance of life itself! (feels embarrassed after having said such things....) My childish philosophies may be sounding hilarious to you (reader). (Thank me for the entertainment! You are welcome!) What I wish to announce is: for a while, I do have an answer to one such "what next...?...

Slumdog Millionaire, what's the fuss all about?

I saw the movie a few days ago. I really don't understand: why so much fuss? If an Indian director makes a fully filmy hindi movie, no one gives a damn about it. But some non-indian comes and makes this movie and people are going all ga ga about it. A.R. Rehman has given music better than "jai ho". Anil Kapur has done roles better than this. This movie has set new records in making a big deal out of a not-so-amazing movie. I say this because, even a huge fuss has been made about why there is so much fuss about this movie. That is like the second order fuss about the movie! And here, I am making the third order fuss with a huge lot accompanying me in doing so. To start the tirade-- The main guy is such a put off! He has a unique expression on his face, indicating he really has no clue what people are talking about. You are supposed to be poor, not dumb for god's sake! Even some of the witty lines are lost due to his dialog delivery. For example, when one police man say...

Valentine's special

its a love story of two strange people who never knew they could fall for each other when they first met they only ended up fighting but slowy it became clear to them that they sure shared something a small problem happened when pride overtook him he thought she was less smarter than him she would solve a puzzle and he would solve it again he would tell her that she was simply an idea away from him... he said that he always gets this idea and then he does all that she can and probably much more... one day she decided his behaviour had to be checked she thought for a while and then she said... fine, then you sure can do everything but if you are strictly more smart you have to do the following think of some puzzle that you can easily do and then give it to me to solve and lets see if i can't do.... all the king's men and all the king's horses could not come up with a puzzle like this the duo got closer and the world around more curious today as it stands the puzzle is still ...
