Ads

Well its that time of the year when ads take precidense in our cricket crazy country... well its that time when even the most hesistant of souls sit in front of the small box so fondly called the idiot box.

I happen to sit in front of the telly and happened to see to ads that actually caught my attention. The ads are the one for Bajaj DTSi bikes and the IPL ad. The former is likable more due to the fact that it is confusing in its content and idea. Well some may argue that isn't it the main reason the ads' being aired??? true but then at the end of the ad if you still remain unclear as to the intention of the ad then the ad simply has lost all its momentum.

Well i am sure most of you have seen the ad aired by bajaj of two sisters fighting? Well the intention is kinda hazy but it has two versions... Keeping it in the angelic vein me thinks the two sisters are fighting for a ride on their brothers new bike. But on a more devilish note it looks like two sisters are fighting over a guy wanting to give one of them a ride. Now the really confusing part is why would two women fight so vehementally over a guy, just to be taken for a ride... hmmm... leaves much to ponder over and makes you actually loose focus on the target of the ad.

The latter, namely the IPL ad is a kinda nice ad, done on the reactions of people. The ad makes you wonder if there were no walls seperating us then we would all be reacting just the way they were enacting in the ad. Our actions so in sync with the rest of the country that it would be a gold medal winner in the olympics synchronised events.

Ads just add to the programme...
