Finally I got something to watch.

Watching a television has become such a headache now a days. The number of channels is touching the sky...but its all quantity and no quality. But that chota sa (oops...wrongly said...that lamba sa actually) break in between is such a refreshment. The advertising industry has really come a long way. There was a time when people used to curse advertisements but now I can see people forwading ads on emails too!! (even i do that ;-) ) There are all sorts of advertisements...but by watching advertisements I get a little bit of everything in a small span of time...which is an important factor for a busy person like me :-D.

There are advertisements which will make you smile, laugh, definitely not cry ;-), some will make you scoff, some will give you a reason to make fun of. With all the celebrities buttressing all sorts of products...whats the need of movies now and cricket too ;-). And yeah...you get to see the cutest babies in india in all those huggies etc ads :-)...choooo chweeeet!!

Hey!! who can forget that surf excel ad - "chaila!! tune maara isko..tujhe abhi dekhta hoon...aur maaro aur maaro....sorry keh raha hai....waapas nahin karna" wowww...it brings a smile on my face even when I think about it. I remember...one of my colleague's two year old son wont eat food untill he sees this ad. Even I can watch that ad for I dont know how many number of times.

Then there is this ad of some paint...."kaat kaat...darta kyon hai....main hoon na...bindaas kaat...papa...chintoo...pata nahin subah se kuch katai shatai kar raha hai" a cutie cutie ad :*

Then those SBI ads...specially the "Chimanlal charlie" ad...its damn hilarious =)).

There are so many of them I guess I can dedicate an entire blog to them ;-)

In a nutshell, advertisements are complete entertainer and the most watched things in todays myriad and most of the time non sense world of television.
