Anything & Everything .....Advertisements..2

It's official now (yeah you can take my word for it...after all its anything and everything) that Airtel runs the most pathetic ad campaigns. Examples? Ever scene that Kareena Kapoor Ad for Airtel HD? What sense does it make? Dish TV runs a better Ad ..but that's not what I am going to write about.

One worst ads to catch my fancy is the Airtel 3G Bangkok ad....I am still trying to figure what one is to comprehend (in simple words understand) out of the ad. You won't believe it I have seen it quite a number of times (thanks to IPL) to register what the ad is all about.

No script (father, mother and son - a perfect ploy gone haywire), no punchlines that connect well to the tagline (well they actually do have a catchy tagline....dil jo bhi chaye...pass laye) but one look at the ad you won't even like to watch it again, forget it getting closer to your heart.

After all the bashing let me say something good too....for I am not expert, just a common man writing to express himself. The only ad that I liked from the Airtel stable was the one featuring SRK ...about the question which very typically every Indian cricket crazy fan keeps on asking whenever a cricket match is being played. Score Kya Hua....it goes perfectly well with the tagline....aren't we Indians a cricket crazy nation with Cricket close to our hearts.

I will leave on that...till then keep track of Airtel's score of indifferent ads.

Before really calling a it day would like to mention its competitor who are running some really good ad campaigns...especially Idea (Idea 3g) and Tata DOCOMO (Keep it Simple, Silly) and even Vodafone (Superhero ZooZoo)..Airtel better catch up and if you have read this far, you will now understand why Airtel Ads are pathetic.

Day One -- What Am I Going To Write About?

To be honest, I’m not sure. I didn’t have a plan for this. A few ideas popped into my head yesterday, but I let them slip away without writing them down. So now, I’m here, wondering... What should I write about? I’ve always admired how writers seem to find the words. They don’t just tell stories; they make sense of life. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poems, their words flow effortlessly, drawing you into their world. It’s like magic—captivating and transformative. Somehow, they’ve mastered the craft of turning simple words into gems that stay with you long after you’ve read them. And then, there’s me. I just write. I let my thoughts spill out, raw and unfiltered, without much structure or thought. No carefully woven narrative, no grand flow—just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever get to the level of those writers who make it all seem so easy. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. But right now, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m writing. I showed ...

Day 2 - What's Your Purpose?

Have you ever truly asked yourself, What’s my purpose? It’s a question many ask, but few genuinely pursue. We often move through life, following routines without stopping to consider why we’re doing what we do. Many choices are made simply because "that’s how it’s always been done," without questioning the deeper reasons behind them. Think about it: How often do people choose a career because it's popular, without ever asking themselves, Why do I want to do this? It’s rare to pause and reflect on what drives us at our core. But those who are in pursuit of purpose— they ask the important questions. They don’t just accept choices blindly; they challenge the status quo, question the outcomes, and evaluate the significance of their actions in relation to their larger goals. Purpose provides clarity. It’s the compass that guides decisions and actions, ensuring every step is intentional. It’s not just about achieving success; it’s about creating meaningful change,...

Day 3 - The Power of Letting Go: Why It's Okay to Give Up

In a world that glorifies perseverance and celebrates grit, we're often told to keep pushing through no matter the cost. "Winners never quit, and quitters neve win" has been drilled into us since childhood. But what if sometimes the strongest, wisest choice is to let go? What if walking away could be your key to unlocking a better future? There are moments in life when we know—deep down—that continuing down the same path is futile. Yet, we keep going, fueled by hope that maybe, just maybe, things will turn around. We tell ourselves, "I'll give it one more try," even when we know it's unlikely to work. So why do we hold on? There are many reasons, but they often come down to fear: What will people say? Will I be seen as a failure? How can I let go when I’ve given it my everything? I can’t imagine my life without this. There must be a way to make it work! These thoughts cloud our judgment, keeping us stuck. But the real point is not the reason...
