Ode to my success...

Wow! I am in the USA doing my MS. And the secret of my success is I use colgate toothpaste, that gave me confidence to apply to Universities; Red label tea, that always kept me alert, and sudarmani undies that made a hero out of me. Ofcourse, I cannot forget the help rendered by Pepsi, head and shoulders, arogya milk, bournvita, xa, xa, xa... without which I would have been a farmer in a remote village, ploughing the field, with buffaloes as best friends... that is if they accept me!

What wonder these products do, they produce heroes out of mere mortals. And what genius these ad companies are, trying to bring out the stupidest ad, to sell their product. They kill the product rather than make it. Have you ever felt bad about a product and resolved not to buy it just because of a bad ad they put. I have.

A small boy catches a criminal, with a biscuit as bait. Why dont our military load their backpacks with them, or better if they can tie up with the US Army, who can ingeniously use it to trap Bin Laden. Wont it be a proud moment for all us Indians.

And guys, if you are desperate to get married, wear Viking ok. Sure the next girl you see, will be mesmerised by your "irresistable" beauty. Hey, you may even win her sister's hand, since they see you as a stud... just because you are wearing some deadly sure-fire-combo undies. Or you can conduct an informal suyamvaram, as you please, by just spraying AXE. When you walk across a street, all beautiful girls will rush out of their house, to hug you. But be careful, if you use more than the recommended dosage you might start a stampede.

Will the madness ever end? Or is this just the beginning. I wish the ads were natural. A dejected girl tries a powder, gets through the interview, and lives happily ever after,... just because she used the powder. Imagine all the airhostess-wannabes getting through with a 50 rs. product.

The fairness cream ads are the most hilarious. First they hire a fair model, roll her face in grease. Then in their ad, the product falls from heaven. The model desperately uses it and you know what? After 4 weeks, her skin is fair and glowing. And whats with hiring models for ads. Are these products meant only for them? then why waste our time.

I am happy Gandhi, the icon of our nation is not here for one reason, endorsement. Imagine Gandhi sporting RayBan, using Talwalkers walking sticks, adidas lightweight slippers, and co-optex Khadhis. And a multilingual punch dialogue, to go with it.

Anyway, the idiot box, is getting worse day by day, thanks to the funny ads. Some ads are creative and logical. But thats just a handful. As for others, its heartening they last for 20 secs or so.

Having said so, I still wonder why I havent found a girl, inspite of trying most of the sure-fire methods listed. Must buy mint-o-fresh on my way out.
Laila! here I come...


the end.
