what to write?

It has been some time since I have written something. There was no dearth of happenings around me on which I could have opined during this time –like the controversial Nuclear Deal which is giving the common man enough brain twisters to get mad. I mean it! Its fun reading the news papers early morning where u can read reports of how one of ‘them’ says this deal is the best one India could ever have and another one of the opposite clan stating that this guy is crazy. With people of political coalitions and people of parties and people of factions within each of these parties making statements that is contradicting each other, its fun to read news papers. Though, it will be interesting to understand how much the poor and illiterate of India understand about this Big Issue on which the so called intellectuals are fighting it out in our Parliament. Which of the following is difficult to digest for the poor of our country is an interesting question – who is this new guy Hyde, what is this Act after his name that is keeping our leaders so occupied that they feel there is nothing else in this country to work on OR Rs 28 a kg of banana. See see! I had no plan to write about this, still I ended up writing this much……. I cannot blame our politicians, even an ordinary guy like me cannot help show my opinion ………..

The point here is that there is no scarcity of topics for a blogger in this fun political arena (we tend to lose sight of the real goal), actually I was kept busy in the past week by two books which I bought, one, The 3 Mistakes of My Life by Chetan Bhagat and two, The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. Much better way to spend time….. Really!

Truly Indian!

The new ad from Maruti Suzuki has served its purpose . In addition to catching once attention with that nice music it also passes the message that they are still the undisputed leaders of the Indian Automobile industry with over 50% market share.They are also conveying the massage that Maruti Suzuki is present in the lives of Indians from different walks of life. By showing vehicles from their stables which belong to different segments, MS has effectively conveyed that they have changed with people of India and provided them with what they wanted at different points in time.This MS corporate ad is a product of Capital Advertising who have been associated with MS for the past decade.This ad also celebrates the 25th year of MS in the Indian market. The nice tune will now be serving the purpose of reminding people of MS whenever they listen to it same as in the case of Airtel and Reliance Communications. Maruti is really changing with times, no wonder they were ranked by US-based Reputation Institute as the 4th most reputed automobile company in the world only behind Toyota, Honda and China FAW Group. indeed a very touching ad!
