Just not liking it!

I finally attained enlightenment on that superbly irritating IBIBO - don't be a balti campaign thanks to a friend. It is supposed to be competing with Photobucket.com ! My god! I am a user of photobucket, and still it never struck me. I wonder if ANYbody got it. :-/

I also watched the second half of Om Shanti Om today. Farah Khan should be shot in the head. It is not even brainless entertainment. It is plain brainless stuff. And yes, horrible horrible lighting. :-/

Rannvijay used to be cute five years ago. Whatever makes him dress so wannabe-ly now?! :-/

Why the f*** is it so humid here in June?! :-/

That perfume shop opposite Keventer's in CP now has all the perfumes I may like. Yes, Nike's there too. And several hundred bucks cheaper. As of now I want to hope that it's fake stuff. If not, then I am definitely shopping from there in future. :-/

He's left. I cannot even say I don't know what to do because there is nothing I can do. For the nth time - change sucks! IT-JUST-SUCKS!!
Two reasons why I need to get out of here asap - 1. Otherwise I will go mad thinking about him. 2. Otherwise my already enough bloated-up body will explode.
But again, there is nothing I can do to leave earlier. Now I am just hoping I leave without further delay.

Tomorrow is Friday, the 13th. I have never really bothered about it in the past. I wonder why I'm itchy now.

I love Radio Mirchi for the creep called Sud that they created. Not as much for his jokes as for the numerous wonderful moments he gave me.

Why do deserts miss the rain?

I have several questions from the post. Enlighten me.
1. What is the balti campaign?
2. Who is Rannvijay? And why does he have so many n-s in his name?
3. Why did it have to snow in June here?
4. Friday June the 13th is the exact date and day of the Uphaar tragedy. It is making me nervous even sitting here.

- The campaign is NOT just about the fucking website you think it is.

- That Janpath place rocks. I remember picking up stuff like CK 1 for a 100 bucks. Smells genuine. Who cares.

And yeah, I gotta get more lighting tips from you :-)

1. IBIBO is a website where you can upload pictures and share them, etc. Their tag line is 'don't be a balti'. They have horrendous ads.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqyj84hbnH8 See this!

2. Rannvijay is an MTV VJ who had participated in the first season of their popular reality show Roadies. He was super-cute then.
So many n-s? Maybe because otherwise he will be Ran - VJ? Ooops. :D

3. It's snowing there?! :O

4. I remember. My brother had just escaped that same Border show in the balcony. Maybe that's why I am itchy too.

Why, did you make it? Isn't it bad enough that I didn't get the website bit also? And you are saying there is more to it. I want to believe I am one of the people they are targeting. :-/

Are we talking about the same place? The one I mentioned is in Inner Circle. What's on Janpath?

I am flattered. Dunno much though. :-)

Ibibo's campaign is irritaqting to say the least, it used to be amusing when it started but now I just change the channel when I see their ads. Anyhoo I am running out of perfumes and deos, does this shop stock Christian Dior ?

That Girl said...

Their campaigns are extreeeeeemely irritating, but guess what, I did get that "don't be a balti" line!! Yikes.

Subhadip said...

That ad IS irritating! But then, if you show an ad right after every over in a cricket match, and then when someone gets out, and then during the interval, any ad is irritating!

Farah Khan happens to be one of the most intelligent directors of our times. Can we make so much money out of brainless entertainment? Can we create an "original" movie which is really a collage of past movies and mimicry of past actors and make it the biggest hit of the year?

I didn't even find it amusing. Plain annoying.

There's a good chance that the shop may have it. Worth a try, I say.

Amiya
I didn't. Hmph!

B.O'Hemian
Please don't give it that kind of benefit. It is irritating - repeated or not.

I know she is intelligent in that sense, really can't take it away from her, but I still wish someone shot her.

Butterfly said...

Om Shanti Om is the pnly SRK movie which I don't feel like watching a second time, thanks to Farah Khan. Such a horrible movie!

It is humid in June even here!:-/
And, the Met Office reckons that the monsoon has officially arrived in Kolkata!

Those Balti ads are really irritating.

R said...

Erm, you actually are one of the people they're talking to. And seriously, it's not that any idea behind even a shitty campaign would be supported by me if it's done by me or my team. It's just that at times people take things for plain ridiculous, when they actually have some substance. That campaign has a layered thought though. Just not rightly put, I guess. Anyway, look at the webpages, the campaign, I am sure it'll strike you.

@ Da
Dude, that bitch knows what sells in this country. The woman smartly put a fuck-all so called actor with some really trashy music and horrible performances (if I am allowed to call them that) and the rest... god, how the hell does that even entertain someone? Fuck.

R said...

I'd much rather have the whole bloody team of the film shot.

RB said...

Butterfly
Horrible it is!

Humidity sucks!

Irritating they are!

:D

Rohit
Hmm... maybe there is more to it, but I certainly wish it was clearer.

The idea is not bad.

Jayant said...

I liked that campaign! :O But I didn't know it wasn't just targeting Photobucket (yeah, I could figure out the photobucket bit).
@ Rohit: What else is it about??

Yes, why the HELL is it so fucking humid and stifling in June??
@ Woodsmoke: I wish it would snow here. :-/

I always thought Rannvijay was quite wannabe-ish.
@ Woodsmoke: Lmao @ the subtlety of the "so many n-s" comment! :P

Haven't seen Om Shanti Om. I am glad now.
@ B.o'hemian: Either she is intelligent or the audience is really stupid. I'm not as willing to accept the former as the latter.

Unknown said...

@ Jayant
:D
Glad to have gladdened your heart.

RB said...

Jayant
Why do you all want to prove that I was dumb to not get it? It is the campaign!!!

It is humid because we don't shut our computers down. :-/

Rannvijay has been wannabe-ish ever since he started VJing. He was normal before that.

And yeah, don't watch that movie.
