Limca

In love with the Limca Ads that run on TV. Wow ! Wow ! Wow !
Such a nice jingle, such creativity, such a soothing ad....
Just stands out in the clutter..

First it was Sushma Reddy splashing about on the roads with a lovely jingle,
then its this one with Hrishitaa Bhatt....they changed the lyrics and the jingle too slightly... and yet it works...
here s the new one

anyways the ladies are not the main thing.. its the ad itself.
I just love it love it love it !!!

Hope and some salt !!

Soon, my heart will be prised out, but I still will have a connoisseur's appreciation for living !!:-) I hope ! Just.

under construction

Am seething after reading the civial aviation minister Praful Patel's comments after the pilots death.... next post on it... as soon as i get time in office today.

praful patel's juvenile statement - pilots died projecting india's avaiation superpower status.... seriously??? yuck !!!

and why must the show go on.its abused statement... sometimes its nice to pause and not let the show go on...lets not get into rhetoric


.... wait... i will elaborate.... shortly....

X & Y

Trying hard to speak,
And fighting with my weak hand,
Driven to distraction,
So part of the plan.

When something is broken
And you try to fix it,
Trying to repair it,
Anyway you can.

I dive in at the deep end,
You become my best friend,
I wanna love you but I don't know if I can

I know something is broken,
And I'm trying to fix it,
Trying to repair it,
Anyway I can.

Just a bit of imagination.... is all that one needs. To make their world beautiful. A world of color and toothy smiles... a world of exxagerated gestures and gentle kisses blown into the air....of characters who defy gravity and conventional judgements...
Oh it's all a bit silly. But then we hope it is so. Imagination begins with a bit of silliness, eh? ;-)

oh it's magical, i tell you honey.... it's the most wonderful world... it's light - soft, supple and yet so bright.... :-)

Oh I can't tell you more for that would just take away the surprises....if you would come with me, we could go there together... oh ya I think now I know the way.... but all I ask of you is some Belief. Yes my beloved, just believe. Just look into my eyes and believe !!! :-)

And we shall see a wonderful other side, together :-)

Mightily, mightily impressed with One Republic's 'Secrets'. Strange kind of a song but then what powerful arrangement !!! Just sweeps me away in its juvenile power !!

Presentations !!

hey, just realised why am smiling so much suddenly after some uninspired performance at work. I suddenly got an instruction from my boss, " Anup, can you help me with a presentation ?" That was like music to my ears !! I have a job where I have never made any major presentations or worked on any. Somehow in HCL there is no presentation culture. And being in the junior cadre I was never the one who made presentations. To add to that I never got to present apart from some internal trainings that I did for the other teams.

So here I am realizing that what I always wanted to do in corporate world, is this. Present my ideas, my way, and thats what excites me..... I have a way of doing presentations which I think is pretty good ( atleast my B-school thought so). So now I know what i have been missing from my work....

Now that I am at a good position in the company, I expect more such presentations, and more such exciting work ! BRING IT ON BROTHER !!
