Yesterday me and a couple of my office buddies were partying .. The discussions veered from morality, human nature to aliens to college life... it was all guy-talk, but then when we talked of college, we were all mushy mushy for obvious reasons and then ... sometime around mid-night, this advertisement came up on the TV.. and 3 of us, got hooked onto the TV set. 41 seconds later, all of us, said the same thing in different languages.. "This has to be the cutest ad this year." I just love the sitar music at the end.. it sounds so fresh! The girl and guy have that brilliant look of their 'first-meet-vulnerability'. All of us were actually transported back in time.. It was truly, madly and deeply a - "Blast from the past". Have a look : For those who don't understand Hindi, here's the transcript with the time factor.
Boy : Excuse me, could you give me a small bite of your Dairy milk chocolate? (0:02) Girl: Do I know you (0:08) Boy : (Nods) No Girl: So? (0:10) Boy : My mom tells me that before you start doing something good, you should always have something sweet. (0:12) Girl: By the way, what's the good thing that you wanna do? (0:23) Boy : I was thinking... I can drop you home (0:26) The thought at 0:12 is a typical Indian tradition of having something sweet before you embark on something good. The belief is that it will bring good luck and success in the task. Sometimes, these small things make you happy and bring a smile on your face! PS : The above advertisement belongs to Cadbury's. This post is just a reference to the brilliance of this advertisement which I wanted to share.

The generation has moved ahead! and i feel like a grandpa already :)
there is a post on the BB... How to make my girlfriend miss me soooooo much! not so long ago, people used to think twice before posting such things on general BB... forget about bigger & better things like PDA! :D People are replying left right centre... buy a bouquet and switch off the mobile for a few days... then call her and see.. how she tells you how much she missed you these 3 days! mind blowing yaar!! The talent for aashiqui has always run deep in our blood... right from the days i saw anil kapoor wooing madhuri dixit in the 80s and 90s.. or aamir and juhi coochie cooing and saying... 'tumhein pata hai... aaj maine tumhe kitna miss kiya??' All these years, from the transition of India from the age of scooters to mobikes, from landlines to cell phones, and from girls to chics... the 'aashiqui' thread has remained common! There is an undying spirit... which says... when a lion also needs a lioness... what wrong am i doing?? Perfect sir! You are doing no wrong... i am just discussing the bird's eye point of view. I remember.. while in college.. all this was pretty normal... infact guys of the same hostel.. same room try to upstage each other to win the lioness! I salute the 'aashiqui' spirit.. just like India salutes the Mumbai spirit.. i love the fact that no matter what the odds.. no matter where you are.. no matter how many people are there around you.. no matter which platform you choose(including the BB) ... the famed 'aashiqs' just 'do it' anywhere! Salaam. |
