Read this piece somewhere. I was ROFL after reading!

You would probably remember that there were elections in Bihar last year. And canvassing was happening just around the time when the preparations for budget would have started ideally.

Some Reporter: Sir, Railway budget is around the corner. And you are here canvassing in Bihar?!?

Laloo: Arrey, Dictason dhe chuke hoon. Kaafi log us par kaam kar rahe hain.

The seriousness of the question would have been blown away by this beauty of a reply!

Ennaatha Solvenungo!

Television advertisements were taken to a new level by companies like Fevicol, Hutch, Happy Dent, Indica etc., with some absolute beauties spawned by the heights of creativity. Especially the one in which a mother makes her son sit on a Fevicol tin to stop him from moving around in the work place - thats a classic! The sight of the little pug in the Hutch Ad brings about a smile instantly.

These apart, there are others especially in vernacular channels that are providing a new dimension. The moment these ads appear, there would ideally be two choices - you burst out laughing for no reason or you would feel like banging yourself.A Sample here...

1) Rusk Ad - saw this on Sun music. A boy would be eating rusk and a girl would snatch it.

Boy : en russkku

Girl: busskku!

2) Some health related ad - appears quite frequentlyA group of kids would try to bully a friend of theirs and he would retort back easily.

the kids: muthu, unakku eppdi da ivlo sathu

For more such "arivu poorvamaana" ads, watch all vernacular channels esp sun music. These ads do the talking almost round the clock. Probably these ads would have been inspired by famous comedians of tamil cinema viz., TR, gabtun etc., Bringing in "adukku mozhi" would interest kids atleast - appdinu nenachiruppangalo!

Enna koduma Saravanan ithu!
