The new Horlicks was advertised as making us stronger from inside. Does that mean that the Horlicks that we used to drink till now was just a show piece that makes us taller, stronger and smarter only externally???

VODAFONE 4G SUPER SON...
What a nice way to promote and support the present reality that younger generation seldom like to and find time to accomodate their parents even during sending them off for a travel.
COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE A WINDOW SEAT FOR MY MOM - the son asks the ticket provider of a flight over video call... Sounds great right???

VKC Pride - lost PRIDE
This week under scanner is the advt of VKC Pride...
A chappal theft case is being dealt lethargically by a police inspector. His superior orders for a probe. The inspector was begging for a clue at temple. A constable informs that all the chappals stole were of VKC Pride brand. The inspector got angry on observing that his chappal was also lost in the temple (implying VKC Pride chappal). The inspector vows to catch the thief...
I don't know what the advt implies... Whether to buy VKC brand or not???

HAMAM...
Since there was no post on last Sunday, here is the double damaka post...
Advt for the subject product starts like this... A boy was asking his mother who is oldest in their home. She points out at the big neem tree standing in their home and explains the protection that it offers. Similar protection is offered to your skin by using Hamam (with neem), see says. Which means, you destroy a natural protector (i.e. neem tree) to manufacture a soap, which is proclaimed to give similar protection. This is a means to promote tree felling.
The health benefits of having neem tree around has been long forgotten by our community and we are in search of neem ladden soap, paste, face wash etc. to keep us glowing, while these were naturally available for our previous generation.

SANKAR CEMENTS - THE STRENGTH OF PAMBAN BRIDGE
Today's criticism is on the way the add for Sankar Cements was made. The add starts like this...
A person was asked by his wife to just close the door of their home before starting their journey in car. The person was so concerned about switching off the lights, fans, stove etc. in the home, which he asks his wife for confirmation. She says irritatingly that everything was done. Even her driving the vehicle was doubtedly asked by her husband thus depicting how doubtful the husband is. But, upon reaching Pamban Bridge, when his wife asked him, whether he doubts Pamban Bridge, he says that he has no doubt, since it was built with Sankar Cement. In addition, when asked about their home's construction by his son, he still continues saying his faith in Sankar Cement.
It's clear that a person, who has no faith in his family has faith in a cement. Persons' faiths may differ. But, the primary faith a person should have is with his family and friends. If that is not there, any other faiths that he excersises has no meaning.

GRB UDHAYAM GHEE - LIKE MOTHER'S LOVE
Today's criticism on GRB Udhayam Ghee's advt.
Ammaavin Anbaippola (Like Mother's Love) is the advertisement for GRB. I need not explain what Mother's Love is to you. But when someone quotes that as a caption for selling the product, there must be reality. When a simple attribute of Mother's Love (i.e. taking care of her child during his / her fever filled days) cannot be matched by the product (you cannot take Ghee when you are feverish), what for the advertisement is made and broadcasted???

TSN - no... never...
TSN - Tele Shopping Network... My personal experience.
It was in 2011, when I was longing for weight reduction. All the TSN products for weight loss had not fulfilled my expectations, except the burning of 820 calories in one hour by Orbitrek Elite. The deal seemed to be agreeable to my expectations, hence I ordered the product. I got the product delivered in a month's time. The product was accompanied by a menu card, a diet plan. It states that to achieve the expected result, the diet plan should be followed. The menu card shows some dishes in Australia or America, which can seldom be found in India.
Nevertheless, I tried to burn the calories using the product. In the least friction load, riding for 1 hour had resulted in a mere 400 calories burning as per the indicator affixed to the product. As the friction load increases, riding gets tougher and so the calories burnt became lesser.
Later on, the advertisement was modified and it displayed that if you ride it for 20 minutes daily, you will get noteworthy results. I did that too. But, I felt, burning 120 - 150 calories in 20 minutes can be done by other cheaper means.
Exactly four years since I bought the product, the LEG-REST GOT SHEARED OFF WHILE RIDING IT. I got escaped narrowly with minimum injuries to my left leg. I got shocked. If this is the quality of the product, then how can we reliably do work out??? I called the customer care and complained about this. Customer care is very smart. They said, the warranty for the product is for one year and hence, they can repair the product for charges applicable. My question to them was simple. I'm not bothered about repairing the product. If the reliability of using the product is gone, then what is the fun in repairing it??? What does TSN guarantee for non occurrence of similar incident. The question is still unanswered.
Hope this blog will make you think before going for a TSN product.
