Moral Polices Everywhere!!!

Here it goes again. One more extra-ordinary ad and people just don't get it.

They have simply lost it, over the SBI 'Bholu' ad. The intellectuals, who just watch TV and want to comment on everything they see, have not liked the ad because it showcases poor people and their lives.

I don't understand why these people do such things. For every 'Chandni Bar' and 'Chameli', these same guys would appreciate the effort and give awards to the makers. But when it comes to advertising, the makers would become insensitive a*sholes, who want to commercialise the lifestyle of poor people.

How can the intelligent people be so dumb?

Why can't they understand concepts like breaking the clutter, like having 'what if' situations in ads to get your message across. Do they not understand even something as simple as target audience???

A great personality also puts his own version of the ad. I would love to ask him - Sir, with all due respect, would you have even noticed an ad like what you have 'created'?

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT!!!

The moral of the story: Leave the ad-making job to the creative guys. It is not everybody's cup of tea.

God is laughing

It is said, if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.

I guess that's what I keep doing again and again.

This is probably the zillionth time I did it.

The moment I feel the urge to do something, I find my platter empty. Not half-filled, not part-filled, empty!!!

So what do I do? I subscribe to newsletters, I start new things. And the next morning, I find my platter over-loaded.

So now, I am a blogger, quizzer, freelancer, researcher and if whatever I have already planned starts happenning, I would also be a lecturer, writer and professional quizmaster.

This is plain crazy. How can I do justice to everything? Why did I start all of this?
And why, just why, can't I make God appreciate my plans for once?

Who am I?

So I am at it again.

The always-confused, always-thinking / imagining / fantasizing me is back on this blog.

Given my poor decision-making skills, I guess this was bound to happen. What started out as a personal blog, became an advertising blog, and then everything got shifted to a new blog. So this blog got empty and I am filling it with crap.

Every time I convince myself that I am extra-ordinary, a stand-apart-from-other-mortals type, I see myself myself thrown back into the real world. And here, I am a nobody. A usual person, who is as confused about life, as afraid of the future, as ambitious, as lazy, as everything... as any other person in this world.

No, I think I am wrong again. I am not normal... I am more of everything compared to the average man... more cofused, more afraid, more ambitious, more lazy, more everything. Yes! Now I know why I am extraordinary... well probably.

Anyway, I don't think anybody would care. Most of them wouldn't, as long as I 'behave' like a normal person in front of others.
