And… Action!

ElektroGum

This is an Ad we made in class for the year’s project. A step closer to the field I love.

The Ad is on a chewing gum brand (ficitional) that has an “electric” aftertaste.
The Story is, A patient is on his deathbed about to breathe his last. The Doc is unable to revive him and just when the Grim Reaper (YamRaj) steps in to carry him to the netherworld, the chewing gum from the Reaper’s pocket falls into the mouth! Guess what?! The patient comes back to life leaving all in shock and dismay for the reaper.

ElektroGum- a 440 volt Gum!

I hope you enjoy it as much!

Little Slice of heaven

I live in Mumbai. I'm also looking for a room mate and I also had once mentioned that the rents are higher than ... Anyways, that is what is the deterrence to many girls (OK. 4 girls) who came to see the house and are looking for a place to stay. They think the prices are too steep. Too bad.

 I have a beautiful flat in Colaba and its like a dream come true. For me atleast. Its has ye olde english style construction since 1802!! Yes! And its not haunted! It looks like a cake from the street because it is lavender and white! It has its own little back yard. Its fully furnished and have all that a family of four could need. Not just us students. Who would've thought all this in Mumbai? I certainly did not. And the historic Sassoon Dock is right outside. The Art district of Mumbai is Colaba and its so warm that people prefer you over Oprah (True-she came here).

 Exactly my reason for not wanting to move.If I find a room mate before the end of this month, it will be within my budget to rent it. Or else I'll have to leave this place and look for a new place. Just when I thought I was home.

Its my first apartment on my own and I do share it with 2 other girls but its nice. I have the Gateway of India at a walking distance. A street full of shopping avenues and eateries. Both hole-in-the-wall kinds and the posh restaurants. I don't want to sound like an ad but there are so many reasons I have fallen in love with my little peace of heaven and I also have Marine Drive nearby. In the southern most part of Bombay, where the city found its roots and history was being made, I find beauty in every nook and corner. Here, you'll find ancient building that are full of stories. The names of each "house" is unique. Mine is Kuwar house and behind my house is James House, Woode House and Ivy House. Such simplicity and yet overwhelming. The history of the city found its beginning at the threshold of my doors. I really don't want to lose the warmth and the comfort of this. I surely will get a place to live if I want to but this is what I'll lose out. I pray I find someone who does find beauty in the walls of yore.
