At what point in time did advertisements become ‘unreal’? Why do we react to most commercials saying ‘Oh, that’s not how it really looks.’ When advertising started, ages ago, did it mean selling your product under fake/exaggerated characteristics? Let’s look at hair shampoo ads today. Most of them show digital hair moving like a smooth, cascading, shiny mass. We all know it’s fake. Isn’t that irritating? But then again, there are some really good ads. The old complan ad, where a small boy takes his mom as a pillion on his cycle- was one wonderful ad. Then there are ads which are witty; I like the sprite ads...It makes me wonder if we will ever come back to ‘simple’ days.

Every single bone in my body hurts. I am currently moving around the house like a groaning grandma...it’s the volleyball. But then again, I could not feel better. Whatever that means. :)

Does ‘politically correct’ mean having no opinion? Or not saying it?

I cannot stand it when an electrical switch is on in an empty room. It drives my brother mad. It used to irritate me, too, when my dad used to do the same- but now I think I have been bitten, too. once bitten, no cure. :)
