Bharat Mata ki jai..  Sone ki Chidiya


From film SHANGHAI 2012


Do we now take pride in our rich historic past or has the patriotism died down. 
Films are said to be a mirror of the generally prevailing sentiments and mood in the country

"Jahaan satya ahinsaa aur dengu malaria kaa
pag pag lagataa deraa"

Yeh Bharat Desh hai Mera!!

Gender equality in Cadbury India's commercials

Krafts foods the owner of Cadbury brands like Oreo and Bournvita have versions of their TVCs featuring both boys and girls.

The ADs with punch lines 'Twist, Lick and Dunk'and 'Tayyari jeet ki' are a welcome change in a gender biased world of marketing.

The latest in the series is a girl practicing basketball



The boy in gymnastics commercial for Bournvita



Oreo advertisement in the Girl and Boy version





Compare this to my previous post where women were projected as an object of desire and which sparked off tweets and a newspaper report

Why TOI is better than The Hindu

Their strategy for readership is based on data and reading habits..

When God bows down to celebrity news, it shows our interest in famous people.

My post “Jay Dev Jai Dev” was on top since it debuted in 2006 just to be upstaged by the more popular “Famous celebrity deaths” in a short span of 45 days since it came online.

TOI always "Stay ahead of the Times"

They connect to the urban youth and that's what advertisers want
