After all the crazy commercial ad that we see these days… here is something which caught my attention……..the chocolate shampoo!!! The parachute company as released its new “chocolate shampoo”!!!! Gosshhhh!! I wonder who gives them creative ideas like this!!
Was even wondering if it was really a shampoo or some something else!!
I saw the chocolate shampoo ad on a large poster put by forum mall…. I showed it to my neighbor in the bus… He saw it for a while and with a confused look on his face he said, “lets c that ad again tomorrow while passing this road”. His reply made it clear that he too was in a dilemma…
We are all living by using few products which makes no sense if we think otherwise… The product companies are trying their best to publicize their products as “the best/the popular” to make profits... While the advertising agency perhaps waits for another new product to be released so that they can commercialize it…
Considering few commercials which we get to see and hear regularly:
The dog biscuits - the ad say, “The dog biscuits with improved taste in 5 different flavors and extra nutrition”… (Can anyone say who tasted it?? Off course humans.. lol)..
Colgate toothpaste with salt…taste it before using it coz the ad says – kya aapke tooghpaste mein namak hai??
The height of commercialization is gone up to a state where we get lemon/orange juice with artificial flavors and dishwasher liquids with real lemon and orange extracts… Get gold coins in the soap bar is another such ad…(sadly none of them seem to have got it)
The pug breed of dog got more popularized than the hutch network…(a healthy pug costs nearly Rs.30K)
We really live in a funny world... Here we get education loan at the interest rate of 12 -15% with the processing time of 10-15 days while we get car loans at 8-9% interest rates plus the processing time of just 2 days!...
In the race between an ambulance and a pizza delivery, its always the pizza which reaches earlier….
Seems like we have prioritized the value-addition or freebies on products more than the main product…. Like the saying in kannada says- “gubbi ethu anta hosa shirt holsidha”(just coz he had few buttons, had got stitched a new shirt)…
Simple in the case of chocolate shampoo…Shampoo is important here but the ad focuses on chocolate flavor more!! Sad but true…
Its 10.32 am here at office on a Tuesday morning… The busy hours when we get to hear only tic-tic of the mouse and the tapping of key board…. Amidst of this today I heard a religious song playing in the background… I was wondering who it could be… Out of curiosity, I walked to the next cubicle..
I saw a guy playing all religious songs in his mobile with the lowest audible tone… I knew that he loved listening to Kannada and Tamil songs (not religious though…).. Once again out of curiosity I asked him, “wassup with u?? Listening to religious songs today…instead of those tangy dance numbers”…… and the reply he gave me stunned me for a while… He said, “mom went to purohith yesterday….and it seems I have got shani dasha in my horoscope… so to reduce the shani effect, I decided to listen to these songs”… I smiled and came back to my cubicle after hearing the genuine prompt reply….
Haahh!! Can anyone explain me, how on earth the bad luck would shoo off if we listen to music of Lord Shiva…which is sung by the man whose voice resembles to a man who has been strangled to death and is weeping yet singing “brahma muraari suraarchita lingam….”
Then I realized that its not only him who is god fearing or rather horoscope-fearing guy around … There is another devotee in the other side ODC who has decorated his work space with photo frame of a deity… (I still haven’t recognized which deity it is), sai baba’s pic stuck on his name plate… A flower offered to lord ganesha’s idol next to his pen stand… Radha Krishna’s photo as his desktop wallpaper!! & finally a small pic of goddess laxmi affixed on his writing board!!!! Devotion in extremes… :)
Am not supposed to mention his name, but frankly telling his first and middle names are also of deities…. :) When I first entered his cubicle for a project related discussion, I felt as though I need to remove my sandals and enter coz it looked to me more like a temple…. The only reason given by him for keeping so many pics and idols was “Google cannot answer all our questions right?? So…”.. Hmmm.. witty answer :)
Another strange behavior people have got while traveling is touch the forehead and heart simultaneously / softly slap the cheeks on either side thrice / remove their sandals and fold their hands for 2 seconds - all these once they see a temple…strange!! This is seen very commonly in Bangalore…no matter they pray at home or not.. Devotion comes automatically on road :)
I seriously don’t understand whether people are trying to impress god by doing all such activities or giving themselves a little time… Prayer should not be an attempt to change God’s mind….it should be an attempt to let God change our mind…
PS- Devotees…plz don’t mind on the comments abt the pics and idols..

I am in love….. Yes.. true…….. I fell in love just few hours back…. It was no hushhrushh, no gossips, no following up, nobody got even the slightest doubt…. Its love at first sight!! A simple love :) Just the way I wanted it to be :)….
It all happened so fast you know…….. I fell in love after I entered the office, in my cubicle :) … that too with one, everyone waits to c…. and ppl expect the reason incase of absence!! Oh my god!! I am so excited to tell you all abt this news :)… My love :)
Let me give the prelude of it….
As usual I was drafting my “good morning” email to all my near and dear ones…… and a lovely GM quote was copied from one of the text message which I got it on my cell - “U cant make someone love u.. all u can do is be with someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize ur worth…”.. I was looking for one of the perfect flower to attach in my email….. and by the time I finished drafting and the mail was ready to be sent, I was in love……..
Well, to break the suspense and to let u know who the lucky one with whom I fell in love….. It’s nonetheless than the flower what I found in Google search……. It’s the lovely rose!! The moment I saw it, I wished to see it in real (which I couldn’t).. So, I quickly added it in the email and sent it to everyone… Within ½ an hour I got replies telling “lovely rose/ nice quote/ nice background/ mood changed / too good rose….etc”..
Though I couldn’t see the rose in real, I really enjoyed seeing it throughout the day as my pc wallpaper and in the replies to that mail…..
So, this was my love story……. Love at first sight :)… On the way back home, I decided to grow a rose plant which would yield beautiful roses which I can see and enjoy right from the bud till the rose blooms and finally until it withers….
