Mont Blanc

I am the world most premium writing instrument maker. So I decide to take two actors who have not made any great name for themselves, who could be as far from writing, as 'far' could be and make them my brand ambassador.

I really wish to know who really put that ad together for Mont Blanc and who there was foolish enough to approve of the same. In a country with a population of more than a Billion people; they could not find one descent family that was into writing. I really want to know what great thing Anil Kapoor wrote.

It is quite obvious that Mont Blanc has spent quite a bit of money on that stupid ad. It really gets me thinking how many Ad companies really screw such brands over...

Run and Get Hit

It appears strange to me that there is a 'Hit and Run' case, when someone jumps in the middle of the road and gets hit by car that is travelling at 100 Kmph. There should be a 'Jump onto the road and get Hit' case. Why is it that the person driving the car is deemed wrong irrespective of whomever's fault it may be? There is a desperate need for addressing this.

Today as I drove back from the Bangalore International Airport, there were several of these suicide attempts that I witnessed and the thought struck me, that if any of these attempts, succeed. The driver of that vehicle will be put through the pains of having to answer to the court, police, family of the deceased, etc. There has to be a means by which the victim can clearly be identified. Just because someone is safe or has managed to survive an accident should not by default render them as the criminal party.
