It was another boring day when I was done with all the daily chores on a holiday, and sat down to watch Television. I had no clue about what I wanted to watch. I wasn't particular about anything. Then I started flipping channels randomly in search of something that could attract my attention and keep me stuck to it.
And then there was this man playing with snakes and frogs put in a tub. He was handling them as they were his noodles! Yuck! My God!! What kind of amusement people get watching those creepy things I thought. Next was a cookery show where a lady was making 'Apple Parantha'!!! I was wondering why would anyone be interested in such a stupid recipe! Bah! I sensed some confused fumes from my head, out of exasperation.
I continued changing channels, which finally somehow seemed interesting. That was a random clip where two old woman (sisters probably) were making a plan to surprise their brother on his birthday. Quietly they approach his place, and place a greeting card at his door. Soon as he opens the door, he would be surprised to see that someone had come all the way to wish him. And he guesses that they are none other than his elder sisters. Soon they start singing 'Happy birthday' song and rush to hug him. How incredible is the way of portraying their emotions! Lot of love and affection poured in, in just a 30 second advertisement! I liked it, more than any movie or soap. I stuck to that channel.
Next was an advertisement of 'Google' that unites two friends who were separated from each other during the India-Pakistan partition. That was a package of emotions! Laughs, smiles, tears and excitement, all in a slice of a video!
Until then, I was of an opinion that advertisements were breaks to movies or soaps. But it is more fun to watch these rather than something meaningless especially when they are creative enough to make us think for a moment. And special enough to make us smile!
