IPL – Kab Aayega Baap !!!

Kab aayega ranjan aur mano ka baap! There is an extensive and long search for ranjan and mano for their baap. After a long wait of 8 years and endless taunting of people their mother attempts suicide. Suddenly we discovered who is “mano-ranjan ka baap”

Hilarious and simply brilliant is how I would describe latest commercial of DLF – Indian Premier League. Agency has successfully married the two biggest religion of nation Cricket and Bollywood in this one script. The advertisement not only has brilliant story line but also executed to the perfection.

The tempo was build over a period of time and viewers’ curiosity was raised to a level that it becomes a talking point among them. Everyone wanted to know “Kaun hai bachcho ka baap”.

Hope the IPL itself also turns out to be equally exciting.

Indian Redifined

India has evolved and so does Indian. Hey, I am talking about Indian, the state owned domestic airlines. I was scheduled to fly today morning to Mumbai by 8:00AM flight. As expected the flight was delayed (Still waiting for the final departure time to be announced, As I am writing this at airport).

This has now become a standard and not the exception for all airlines to delay departures. But I was talking about something else.

I got an unexpected call at 5:45 in morning. This was from call center of the airlines announcing the delay of 1hr 45 Min. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from them (Not because flight is delayed because they saved me from waiting unnecessary at the airport lounge hearing announcements). But my team was not fortunate enough as all of them has already started from their respective places.

They but of course were cursing me as I met them at airport at 9:15. But these delays surely exhaust persons before they actually start the day. Fortunately we have planned for the delays and actually we are traveling A DAY IN ADVANCE for our presentation tomorrow

Zero Degree in Delhi Really !!!

Amit Gupta — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:17:16 +0000

Bakar Bakar on Channels about Zero degree temprature (Forecasted for Today) in Delhi has hogged the limelight on prime time slots for last few days.

News channels and Newspaper has debated it out more than they do the annual budget or general election. It become the talking point in offices. Few of my friends from across seven seas even me asked what we are going do to battle the freezing cold.

Now that the day today is coming to an end and there is no sign of Zero in Delhi. It seems that there is some time for homecomimg for Zero . As it is we Indians who gave birth to ZERO and send him around the world
