How often has an advertisement in the media left you as confused or utterly bewildered as in the cartoon above?

Given below is a crude translation of a radio ad that is doing the rounds recently:

Dumb ass 1 (a.k.a D1) : I’m so worried
Dumb ass 2 (a.k.a D2) : Why?
D1: My wife has not been shopping for the last two days, I don’t know what happened to her?
D2: Don’t worry, my wife is shopping like crazy, it does not matter if your wife or my wife or anybody’s wife shops, whoever shops, the benefit is for us.

Me: ???????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the @#%&? How in the wide world will my wife’s constant shopping benefit all, me included?




PS: The ad in question was for a mutual fund.

This was a crude translation of a proverb that comedian Karunas (as pointed out by Chriz ) made famous in one movie. The Tamil original runs thus, “Kazhutha ketta, kutti suvaru” so you have the translation. I heard that line somewhere and I wondered especially having heard the translation as to what could have been the origin of the proverb. Any ideas? PS: I Googled it and did find something.

Memories of PTC bus journeys!

MTC bus today! As I was turning into Haddows road today a MTC bus whizzed by nearly missing a few people on the road as is the norm. Just when I was about to curse the bus and its driver and everybody connected to it, my mind drifted back to the days gone by when I used to travel by these buses. The more my mind drifted, more instances that have been deeply etched in the confines of my memory came out like a mental slideshow. It is amazing how at the most unexpected moments lost thoughts surface and make even poor memory people like me feel good about us. Coming back to the post I thought I will put together a few memorable ones for the record. It was in the days of khaki shorts and white shirts, the old uniform of Dominic Savio Preparatory school (I’m told it has graduated to a matriculation now!) and its bigger sibling St. Bede’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School (100 years now, dear school of our hearts). School was a two stop bus ride from home if you got onto a white board bus ...

Its a colour full life!!!

                                 (image courtesy Google Images )  During a pre-employment medical I learned that of the 256K colours in my mobile I can see but very few. It is official; I’m a little colour blind. No I don’t see the world in black, white and shades of grey but if you were to bring me a RmKV multi-colour sari and ask me what are the colours I will call out red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, white, black, grey, pink and brown. Maybe I may get a few more but that’s all, with all due respect to the master weavers of RmKV. The fact of the matter is I cannot discern between shades of the same colour and that makes life simple! I see a red as red irrespective of whether it is called blood orange, safety cone or tomato. To me it’s red. PERIOD. Do you know what a banker’s lamp is? I didn’t till I happened to see it in the shade card . Horror of horrors, it is a green. Even...
