Motor Bike Ads

Does it really matter? Does it matter if the Ad shows risky postures? If I am a customer I think it doesnt matter to me. So, let me think from my perspective hence. Why do the motor bike folks dont get it?

The outrageous one is the latest Honda Bike Ad. Gosh!!. The biker there (Hrithik Roshan) literally drives the motorcycle through some Tsunami and cyclonic situation.

Ok!! Do you want to say that you can do this with the bike? Ofcourse not. Hence, there will be a footnote with font size 6 that says these are dramatized actions and do not try to imitate them. Then why the heck are you showing them? Its arrant stupidity in my opinion.

Why dont these guys get that I am rather interested in the clear and concise specifications of the motor bike? Why doesnt the bike manufacture dare to explain the specifications and boast them rather than driving through some tsunamis? It would help everyone in such a huge way wont it? How many times have we not got confused at the showroom where the agent almost succeeds in convincing us that he is selling us the moon?

Finally, I feel, the bike and car ads are ridiculously immature, outrageous and useless (from the information content point of view).

Thats my rambling of the day.

Happy Diwali

दिवाली की रात, आसमान के साथ
बनायी हमने फुलझडियों की रंगोली
जगमगा उठी हर दिशा, खिल उठी हर गली

Boating in the Ulsoor Lake

Today, the sunday was kinda interesting. In the afternoon, after lunch, we felt like we will do a little boating. How romantic :-) So we went to the Ulsoor lake to try the boating in the legacy lake of Bengaluru. Three options were available. The motor boat for 8-12 people was costing Rs. 20 per head while the couple's manual pedal boat was Rs. 80 without rooftop and Rs. 100 per head with rooftop.

From the moment we sat in the boat, all that was in mind was when will I get out. My wife complained that I spoiled the fun with my complaining, but I couldnt help it. :-)

The water was just so dirty that you cannot imagine until you actually go and sit in the boat. Oh my god. At some point, I was almost on the verge on puking. It is so green and viscous that I felt some diesel has gotten mixed with the water.

Once again, it reinforces my belief that we are just so good at screwing up our nice beautiful natural resources.

Another complaint session. Its fun complaining . Its in my nerves and the things around me get on my nerves.

You have to really take a boat ride to have a first hand experience how dirty the water there is.
