#MagicOfwarmth makes life beautiful

Desmond Tutu once told "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." This holds true for every person. The family's love, affection and warmth make life beautiful. Every member of the family goes through a difficult phase in life and I have found out that the other members stood rock solid like a pillar in those turbulent times. Those support, those moments are the Magic of warmth.

In my career I was stuck in a bad phase. There was long working hours, very less time for me and family add the distance from home which made it more difficult. There were days when I just worked ate and slept. Life was very mundane with nothing to look forward to. The pressure of the work, no value addition to career front was kind of dragging me into depression. I was cut off from my friends, colleagues and surprisingly from m family. There were days when I ignored calls from my family members. I started to getting irritated. Disconnected calls in between. kept the phone out of reach or switched off. i was kind of becoming a reclusive person. This was till date my worst phase in life. 

As I said earlier in those dark moments, lonely moments what a man need is Love, Affection and that little warmth. My parents stood rock solid behind me in those time. Although I ignored their calls, got irritated but my parents never stop trying and believing me. Their perseverance and continuous effort was always there. I can still recollect that day when they surprisingly came to the place where I was working which is a 5 hour drive from my hometown. They gave me confidence that If i try I will definitely get a better job where I will be satisfied. They are a firm believer of the statement of Jim Rohn that "Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present."  The small talk and their effort really helped me in clearing my mind and it increased the confidence. I again started believing me and by next week I met the Zonal manager of my company and gave the notice period and finally after one odd month left the job. In the meantime I applied for other jobs and luckily with God's grace and parents blessing land in a good job within months. This was the Magic of Warmth for me and it will be imprinted in my memory forever.

Amway Attitude Ad (Tattoo Girl & Girls outing in a car)

Beauty is all about Attitude

Amway for its attitude line of cosmetics has created some TVCs. The TVC is good for the music and the theme girls with attitude.

http://www.amway.in/
The first advertisement is of the Girl with a lot of tattoos and piercing. Till now tattoos & piercing are considered  rebels of the world as an emblem of toughness and defiance. Also lot of people look them as a symbol for sex and ask them out.

The amway ads clears that mindset with the attitude ad. Although the girl is ultra modern but she is also deep rooted to the family and culture. The story line is when a friend invites her friend to  family in the vacation everyone is surprised at her get up. tattoo everywhere be it shoulder, hand or upper chest, piercing in eyes lower lips etc.

The model in the ad Paloma Monnappa

Watch the TVC at 

The other commercial of Attitude is all about the modern girls.  They can go on outing themselves and in case of a flat they dont need to ask a guy to help them. They are capable of doing it themselves.

The ad has been very well made although they are taking selfie, doing so calle dgirly things but when it comes to a flat tyre they can change the tyre themselves.

Watch the TVC at 

Also see attitude's brilliant other ads.

The family dinner and the couple with theme sharmana jaante hain. Aur Shararat v jaante hain.

The attitude ad featuring model in the ramp is also very nice, the theme is Itrake chlna jaante hain.......aur khud hasna b jaante hain.. watch it here. When any difficult situation comes todays womens are prepared to face it. be it a wardrobe malfunction in a ramp show or the breaking of the heel in the runaway in a fashion show.

The Green Mile (1999) Film Review

The Green Mile (1999) Film Riview

Starring

Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb
David Morse as Brutus Howell
Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey

Director: Frank Darabont

After Shawshank Redemption everyone was expecting another good movie from Frank Darabont. And he did not disappoint. With Tom Hanks in the lead role. the green mile is a brilliant movie.

Like Shawshank Redemption the film is primarily set in an infirmary where the fellas who have been sentenced for execution are sent. They are in "E block" I guess it is Execution Block.

Different staff working there have different characteristics. While Edgecomb and guards have matured with experience, greenhorn like Percy Wetmore treats the inmates in a real bad way. And he continues to do so with his connection. Things changes when an giant inmate named Coffey come into E Block. He has been charged with rape and murder of two girls. The guards at Eblock soon started feeling the miraculous power of Giant Coffey.

What will happen will they execute Coffey Or not ?
Will Coffey will be able to do miracle one after another ?

watch the movie to find out.

Some of the brilliant dialogues from the film are

Edgecomb- We each owe a death, there are no exceptions. But, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.

John Coffey, only not spelled the same.

John Coffey- Awful tired now, boss. Dog-tired.

My score 9.2 out of 10

Jack & Jones Outdoor campaign featuring Ranveer Singh and the controversy.

Ranveer Singh is now the heartthrob of the advertising industry. Watch any TV channel you will find him promoting something or the other be it the car or breakfast cereals.

See the list of brands endorsed by Ranveer Singh.
http://realquiz.blogspot.in/2016/11/ranveer-singh-and-energy-packed-brands.html

But amongst various campaigns one campaign has landed in trouble. The brand in question is Jack and Jones.

They created an outdoor campaign  featuring Ranveer Singh.

See the ad.

The ad is an extension of Jack & Jones latest campaign #NOTHOLDINGBACK
the ad appears to be sexist. And popular bollywood and south actor Siddharth (of Rang De Basanti) criticized the campaign and in microblogging site twitter tweeted that A new low for women's rights in the workplace in India. What were they thinking? #Fail

The tweet also evoked the same response and most of the user condemned the ad. As a responsible brand Jack and Jones in damage control accepted the wrongdoing and replied to Siddharth and tweeted that 

@Actor_Siddharth We didn't intend to offend anyone with one of our billboards. #NOTHOLDINGBACK and withdrawing it immediately.

Now celebrities coming under scanner for wrong brand endorsements have to be more and more careful. because these type of campaigns no matter how eye catchy may be, it will destroy the brand reputation in some days.
