Oreo Wonderfilled Anthem

Oreo always has one of the best advertisements.
And no I am not just throwing words or making a rash statement because I am a lover of the dark and creamy cookie. This only proves that the company has surrounded itself with a good marketing team that is responsible for driving and making things happen.

Now, why do I consider this to be good advertisement? Could it be because of the well crafted lyrics that is available to be downloaded for free on the company's website? Yay! Go Oreos. Or the colourful pictures and enjoyable narration? I wish those were the major driving forces of my decision but they barely came into play here.

I was simply impressed with the message and the extent they went in promoting it. The message being that with Oreos you can flip everything around which is less of a wonder when the advertisement ends with the words "wonder if I gave an oreo to you" Its almost like a cliffhanger and they leave you to decide what an Oreo would flip around for you. Hunger or .... It's up to you to decide.

The Giver or Receiver in a Relationship

I have overheard people arguing as if their lives depended on it that a man should be the giver in a relationship and the woman, the receiver. Each time I hear this, I cringe and I am almost provoked to put an end to their idle talks but you know how stupid I would look jumping into a strangers conversation. So all I do is to cringe and cringe till I cannot do so anymore. No one needs to tell me to look for the next available seat. Then I ask what was I doing not minding my own business?

Experience, the new song

I find it funny that our song towards education is constantly changing. I guess one of the main reasons for this change would be because of the way society is structured. We live in a dynamic society, where things are constantly changing. If we look back to the time when we were born and how society is now, we'll see that there is an enormous difference in how things were and are now ordered. If you do not believe me, try it. The quickest way is to look at how technologies has evolved over the past few years. There was a time when a diskette was heavily relied upon to store information and slowly the use of a CD and USB became later inovations after this.

Similarly, lego used to be the acceptable toy for a child in the 90's but now it is a whole new story as we see kids this days with Ipads and console games.

I was opportune to grace a couple of events some months back and I encountered what I tag as "Interesting Findings." Some of it made me smile and some forced my body to ooze with irritation. For the purpose of this post, I would classify my observations into two categories.

Note - I do exaggerate quite a lot.

The assessment stage
I noticed that before a show commences, a natural cycle of both sexes is formed. Guys are usually stationed at one corner, often loud and chatting about irrelevant topics. They do not fail to put on a stylish stance as they chat

Is it any better
I ask
When I hold my mouth
Pushing it almost to where the sky is
And my loveable face,
Becoming like I got some issues with it

5 Things not to do this Summer

I came up with a list of five things I thought were not summer appropriate because you probably did them all winter and spring. I do not expect you all to agree with me that's why I am posing a challenge to my readers.

Summer with the Bikey

So summer is fast approaching and I know a lot of you have been singing the phrase "I can't wait till summer approaches".

I'm not sure how many times I have uttered that phrase in the past few weeks but I know for sure that if I was to be fined for the amount of times I did, I would probably be in debt by now. I

The History Behind "Keep Calm and Carry On"

Ever wondered about the history behind one of the most popular memes? Yes, No, whatever? I would wave your thoughts and just show you.

What do you think? Amazing eh?
Well, I didn't show you this video because I wanted you to be in awe. If I did, I would have shown you something more fascinating. Rather, I posted this for you to be aware of how things get commodified quickly and we remain oblivious to that fact.

I know its that time of the year when guys decide its about time to let go of their love for their babes or that time when girlfriends decide to suck up every penny from their men. Yes that beast of a day would be unveiling itself soon.

Indians are getting westernized

If you know anything about the culture of Indians or about their movies, you would agree with me when I say public display of affection is not something that is widely embraced in India.

This is because prior to now, kissing in public was associated with Westerners. Therefore in India, it is only normal if married couples shy from kissing in public or if a father finds it hard to ever say the words "I LOVE YOU" to his son for 88 years. Awkward eh? I do not think I would live a second here

An accidental Encounter

I never dreamed that I would have such an experience. I am still dazzled though. Two years ago I innocently took my writing pad out and I wrote a poem on this topic without realizing that I would be faced with a similar situation in the future. I guess life has a way of surprising you.

Star Spotlight - D-Sisive

A couple of weeks ago I was watching tv with my sister and a song came up "Do not turn the lights out" by D-Sisive. The chorus left me swaying on my seat. I was surprised myself knowing that I hardly danced and because this was quite a slow song, I really did not see why I needed to be moving. I have

Wonders with YARN!

I recently just started knitting again. I learned how to knit in my early years in high school but unfortunately I got side tracked with other things and so my love for knitting went by with the wind until some days ago. Presently, I am knitting a scoodie for my sister. Its basically a combo of a scarf and hood. I think it is a good idea for the winter so if you guys would like to see a video on it I can do that. We all need to keep warm.
