Some ads I saw recently...

Finance company funda 1) 0ne antique coin = 2 kuchi ice (where is the rest, you wonder?)




What in the wide world is this guy doing? (P.S. I can understand him being penniless in Hollywood, but if Visa makes you get fits, I rather do without it)




I do not understand who is dumb here, the kids and the mums in the ad, the ad makers or us watching this?

Turning on a stadium lights instantly and turning them around with the turn of a faucet!!! Thought kids were much smarter than this today, if they wanted Bournvita why not make it themselves or go buy a cup they have more weekly pocket money than I did for a whole year in my half pant days.




I am an avid biker and have clocked around 80kms on my bike, whoever made this ad is no biker and is off his edge. A stupid ad if there was one for bikes. Disclaimers be damned this ad is a sure fire accident causer.





As with more from its stable, these ads are another brainless attack on our senses, are women so ...

    now a days in ad fields lot of new faces with cranky ideas are deciding on the ads.. the last ad is one classical example.. some graphic specialist and some loser client end personnel has agreed for such ad..


    the first ad reminded me of ramalinga raju.. satyam is giving heart ache's to three cousins of mine.. waiting....

    the second ad.. see the number of places the ad team has gone to shoot this ad.. very costly ad indeed and they would have reaped in much money...

    the stadium ad shows us cclearly that creativity is in the hands of kids who dont understand the word...

    loved the post

    About the first ad, my thoughts exactly. When i was watched it at home, i was thinking this should teach people not to trust finance guys...

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...
