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

Appa tie, Amma gown

This post was spurred by some grammar related conversations in the CBC I   went through college with the tag “Peter” or the longer “Appa tie, amma gown” . If you have not got it yet, my English was flawless and for those who could not follow what I said they thought that this was payback. It was not a fluke, my parents did not have a convent education but they ensure that my brother & I got one. It was an Anglo Indian school where speaking any other language but English meant you ran rounds around the decent sized play ground. My neighbours were Anglo Indians too, a wonderful couple who also taught for a living in my school, did i forget to mention they had two daughters who were similar in age to my brother and me ensuring that we played & grew up together for a few years. As it was English near home and in school my fluency increased. But even this upbringing may not have been enough were it not for one unforgettable instance when I noticed that the washed
