Adzap

I took part in a mixed bag event at college called Pandora's Box, Adzap was one round.

For those of you who have never ever attended the Culturals of a school or college in India, more specifically, the places where i've been around, an Adzap event involves making an ad and successfully endorsing a wacky product that would generally not be found at the local store:
some topics being...

• Face whitening pickles
• A Toothless comb
• A dial-less watch and..

weirdly enough, we got Aluminium Jewelry, the advertisement for which was more of a one-person act, two people mime ad, which though reasonably creative and on-the-go was barely beyond 'okay'. One other interesting topic, whose teaser I came up with:

• A Butter stick(as in lip stick, chap stick...) - Does your boyfriend like food more than you? Try out our latest butter stick and see what happens ;) (Oh yes, that ad was primarily targeted at the female audience).

Yes, I can go crazy at times.
So?
Sue me :D

The Pursuit of Aditya-ness

A person once told me that a person she knew once told her, "Do one thing everyday, that you haven't done before, and wouldn't do unless you specifically set out to do it."

Right.

So, a good 4 years after I was told, I decide to give it a test run and see if I can actually do it.
I will catalogue my efforts in the blog, editing this post, let's see what I end up doing.

Start date: March 30th, 2009

Post Australian GP 2009

Podium:

1. Jenson Button (Brawn Mercedes)
2. Rubens Barrichello (Brawn Mercedes)
3. Jarno Trulli (Toyota), later converted to Lewis Hamilton(McLaren Mercedes) because Trulli apparently overtook under the safety car and was given a 25 second penalty on his race time.


Post race conversation between Button and Barrichello,
who qualified 1-2 for the Brawn Racing Team:
(Barrichello had a bad start and dropped back to 10th or it's whereabouts)

Button: Where were you after the start of the race, mate?
Barrichello: Oh, I got held up a bit.


This one's for the Brawn Racing Team, from being a Honda Team almost out of Formula One, to being bought by Ross Brawn about 4 weeks before the start of the season, with no sponsors till a week before the race when Sir Richard Branson proudly agreed to Virgin being the main(and only) sponsors to less than a week of testing to produce a 1-2 in Qualifying and the Race.

Hats Off..

Randomness

Ever felt like you want to write, but you have no specific topic in mind and the topics that others give you aren't what you want to write about right now and you somehow have a feeling that writing about how you feel at that precise moment will make you feel better and will somehow miraculously help your brain sprout a new thought, or an idea or a topic to write on?


Welcome to my world.....

I'm no.... I'm no Superman...

Out the door just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 a.m.
The phone rings in the car
The wife is workin' hard
She's running late tonight again

Well
I know what I've been told,
You got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall

And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right

You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll be together
I'm no Superman
Someday
Someday we'll be together
Someday
I'm no Superman

Ridiculous advertisement #1

This Dove ad in which the model attempts to show the difference between using dove and other soaps by using Dove on one half of her face and other random soaps on the other.....



The end result, though, by all practical means of argument she should become Harvey "Two Face", she ends up with graphically enhanced skin that has a sun like glow and never-before-seen fairness and softness.
