Google Search India Pakistan Ad

Image
Talking about the latest Google Search India Pakistan Ad brings tears in my eyes, tears whenever I see it, tears when I think about the concept. The stories my granny told me when I was kid. I have grown up listening these types of stories from her and always tried to relate myself to the situation. In the ad the optimum usage of the search service is shown where at one click you can search anything in this world. I like the way the old man narrates his stories to his grand daughter and she finds the sweet shop of her Yusuf Uncle and how the grand son of Yusuf Uncle plans to apply for Visa and the best part is that he even checks the weather in India and carefully takes umbrella. The last window on phone shows that the girl is checking the flight timings and the current status of the flight online and tells the taxi driver to speed up. All these minute details make this ad the best of all. I also like the way both the friends reunite and share their nick names full of lov

The Company looks hard at the suspects to determine who are the most likely prospect(s)- the people who have strong potential interest in the product and the ability to pay for it and meeting the criteria as well. Disqualified prospects are those the Company rejects because they have poor credit or would be unprofitable. The Company hopes to convert many of its qualified prospects into first-time customers, and then to convert those satisfied first-time customers into repeat customers . Both first-time and repeat customers may continue to buy from competitors as well.

Mujhe yaad hai vo shaam Jab tum is duniya me aayi thi; Bahut khush thi mai us din Laxmi hamare aangan me aayi thi. Tumhe pehli baar meri goad (lap) me jab daala tha khush bahut thi mai. Tumhare nanhe nanhe haath, chote se pair aur tumhari vo pehli muskurahat aaj bhi na bhool payi mai. Shahad (honey) se jo tumhara swagat kiya tha maine Us din ko kabhi na bhool paungi mai Kitne saal beet gaye lekin Vo yaadein abhi bhi taaza hai mujhe. Jab mujhe bataya gaya ki tum aayi ho sirf mere liye. Hamara ye rishta aaj tak na koi samajh paya hai na koi samajh payega. Maa, baap, beti, dost, behen, bhai, sakhi, saheli ye rishte hai hamare. Ye sirf hume pata hai Hum kaun hai ek dusre ke liye Ye rishta sirf khoon ka nahi Saanson ka bhi hai. Aaj ye vaada karte hai tumse Chahe kitna bhi door rahe ek dusre se Chahe kuch bhi chupaye ek dusre se Chahe kuch bhi bataye ek dusre se Bus hum yuhi rahenge ek duje ke liye Peeth pich

Brides of the World

The Indian wedding has undergone extensive changes and, therefore, wedding dresses have also witnessed a sea change. Gone are the days when brides used to shop for their trousseau from a local shop in a single visit. Now, it’s a different story. Brides, and even grooms, are choosy, and the collection of local shops finds it hard to please them. The selection of bridal wear eats up a hell of a lot of time, as the bridal ensemble would play an important part on that crucial day. The contemporary bride wants to see first-hand what she is buying and have a wide choice provided by the fashion designers. The fabrics, weaves and styles, all have to be exclusive, yet depicting her own style and persona. Colors and Trends Forget what your friends wore in the last season. This year, everything is new – from colors to trends. However, it’s a back-to-basics culture. Brides are just crazy for traditional colors. The inspiration is taken from old Bollywood and Hollywood dresse

It is said that if at middle age of 50 you don’t own a house, have kids, earn good salary you are no where and nobody. And if you loose all these in a flick of an eye and left with nothing, no job, no wife, a divorced life, brain tumor, no mercy, no health insurance you are Michael Gates Gill or Getsy or Mike. The story revolves around Mike who from being a big shot employee in J Walter Thompson advertising agency and enjoying all the amenities and later a small man in Starbucks. He got this job accidentally when he was pretending to wait for some client in one of Starbucks store and later realized that he has to work in another facility which is far away from his house. He started scrubbing toilets there and accepted his transformation from being served earlier he started serving. But fate brings an unexpected teacher into his life who opens his eyes to what living well really looks like. The two seem to have nothing in common: She is a young African American, the daughter o

To grab a business opportunity everyone works on a different mind set all together. To share their business details one uses every best option to present to the clients. Some uses website, pamphlets, meetings and some uses brochures. Brochures have their own language which attracts the customers.

Self Confidence

Image
Believing in oneself can make the difference between success and failure. People who believe in themselves are more confident, more willing to take reasonable risks, and more willing to communicate freely with others. Self-confidence is not about having an unrealistic concept of your own self-importance. Instead, it is about loving yourself and having faith in your own unique strengths and abilities. You might think that in order to demonstrate self-confidence, you need to be loud and constantly expressing your own opinion. In fact, confident people are often the most humble and selfless individuals around. When you love yourself fully, you will not need to spend time bragging or pumping yourself up in the eyes of others. Instead, you can calmly focus on the tasks at hand without worrying about what anyone else thinks of you. Self-confidence can't be developed overnight. It requires a dedicated commitment and lots of self-reflection. The first step to buildi
