A passing thought!

It is a season of Cricket in India. Even though elections and certain evil forms drove cricket out of India to South Africa, the passion has been still remain sky-high.
But this is post has nothing to do the religion we believe in but in the commercialization of this religion. Each time a six is hit, we call it a DLF Maximum, even the fours are brought to us by Hyundia. Comeon, I drive a Hyundia Santro but at no point I can associate it with a cricket four. Or I should try to think it is a car with four tyres (now I am being just as stupid as the ad agency).
We watch all the funny ads of Aamir or SRK or others, associated with Black Beverage but when it comes to drinking it, we all have our own flavours set?
Here is a funny thought... What happens if we start living a life full of ads? Let me explain my goofy thought with some examples -
a) Our mother cooks dinner for us and we all come to the table to have it. She opens the rice bowl and says, "This meal is brought to you by Kohinoor basmati rice".
b) Husband takes wife for shopping and he opens the door for her saying, "Trip to Mall brought to you by Bharat Petroleum - Energizing lives".
I guess we got the picture here pretty clearly.
Ads - which have formed integral part of our daily life sometimes are so stupid. Even the commentrators have starting advertizing every other ball. At the most stupid place they will bring the CITI moment of success? What the hell? Is the CITI group got the team the last wicket...
As Mumbai India slides down against a very weak Kings Punjab XI, I blog this entry wishing MI comes good... And again an irritating commentrator shells out Ads.

PS: No ads or people associated with ads agency were harmed in writing of this blog - message brought to you by Deccan Herald
