Where’s the party tonight?
….the party was at Chiraan fort club and found dancing where all those without brains.
As soon as I entered the dingy smoke filled room, along with my apprehensions about a cocktail party, I discovered heads swinging and bodies gyrating to the blasting noise assumed as music!
Dancing to the ‘music’ were all those with no brains. To elaborate on the point, found dancing at the site were my colleagues and (pardon my audacity) my seniors including the management.
Sorry can’t classify the music.It was all thanks to a dj. Dj of a different sort! What do you call a dj with guthka stained teeth playing music as confusing as his brain. Saw him shouting on his assistant fumbling through the cd files.
He finally played good music but alas it was time for the party goers to return home or for some time to have dinner or may be worse for those too exhausted to dance anymore.
But saw some great dancers … dancing after losing all they had. One forgot the meaning of ‘stop’—coz he was dancing non stop! The other danced non stop but with breaks and glasses of water. Some girls were dancing as if its there last chance to woo someone. And how can I not mention the guy who liked staring at guys but loved dancing with girls!!
Well that’s not the end of the story…even had our head dancing with a lost head. He wanted to dance with all the girls and thus came up with a brilliant idea to make all the girls hold there hands and dance with them in merry-go-rounds (not to forget the DJ still struggling with his music). The head of heads did not know where to put his feet upon….he danced as if the floor burnt. Yes it was hot but certainly not burning, or was it because I danced too.
Yes the fool of fools danced at the party too coz she lost her brains as everyone did. It was the annual day and everybody is entitled to colour their grey cells once in a while. Aren’t they?
Ads
The face speaks for itself or does his myriad looks. Am I not sounding like a fifteen year old so smitten by somebody? But I am not talking about somebody but Aamir Khan. Ammir Khan in his latest Samsung Mobile advertisement.
The ad has just been released in the print version with only a couple of hoardings here and there. (No idea if its available in the newspapers and magazines coz cant gather time to go through much of them.)
What strikes is the idea. The ad is able to convey a whole lot by only using his profile. Mind one its only the profile in both the ads that I came acreoss. Lovely. One version focused on his latest hairstyle in crew cut and the other in a cap which he wears holding the Samsung mobile. The caption says, “I am Samsung Mobile”. And to tell you frankly its Aamir’s eyes speaking it out.
So much the ad speaks in its plain white backdrop with Amir in grays and blacks that just couldn’t hold my thoughts about it. Sorry to all those who think I should not be so smitten anymore. Do tell me if you believe the same thing about the ad to let me find assurance I am not the smitten but its Amir who moves us so.
Talkin about ads then have to mention the new Vodafone ad promoting their damn customer care. Atharva simple loves the ad. He would come running if he hears the initial music of “tick, tick” and stands watching it loving every second of it!
The dog helping the little girl go along her daily chores glues us to the Idiot box. The song “I wish the mornings would just stay” goes on playing in the mind long after. It’s beautifully carrying the idea forward but with a change, the owner. Little girl has replaced the little boy; Vodafone has replaced Hutch. Nonetheless nothing has replaced the same old damned service that they provide. Be it Hutch or Vodafone, their customer care are least informed and least synchronized with their own other departments. I wonder if they deserve such a lovely idea promoting their service.
