Google Search India Pakistan Ad

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...

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

Image
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...
