Bright colors. High definition.
Different stories. Promising smiles. Always-happy people. Oh yeah, the
sensational advertisements which keeps flowing day by day. Big-big banners.
Variety of pamphlets. Thousands of on-screen shots. Wall-high stickers. Life-size
posters. Messaged balloons. Sand arts. What’s left? Except for the underground,
everything has been filled…with them.
Why am I talking about
advertisements? Well, I was once crazy about these advertisements.
Creating advertisements was a 5
mark question in SSLC English second paper. Everything started there. Ignoring the
75 marks I was so obsessed with those 5 marks. I kept thinking about the images
I would draw, colors that I would use and taglines I would highlight…you know,
it was so exciting back then. And I spent literally 30 minutes in my public
exam just for that advertisement. Creating something new, always keeps you
excited. And that was me.
Well they started boring me
lately. All those hi-fi goods on the market and bright lights flashing and
burning your eyes… I’m fed up with them. They’re all the same. Attraction.
Yeah, they are boring as hell. And,
I thought I could use them to have some fun.

go away! Here we introduce the Facebook! The legend is coming alive. Get started.
Be the one. Why think even once?!
A Facebook using
critic: Ha. This Facebook! It shrunk the
world to the shapes of the smart phones and PCs. It increased the distance
between people. It’s making people go crazy. My god! [Well, he never quits
updating his posts and desperately counting the likes for this very post. That’s
how the world works anyway!]
Advertising Whatsapp!
Got knocked by the messaging
bills? Can’t help texting back and forth? Wanna keep in touch everyone in a
simpler way? Just do this. Download Whatsapp from the Play store and add your
number. That’s it! The world is yours. Keep texting and never worry about
bills. Your privacy is ensured and your comfort is double ensured. Create groups
and make brainstorms. Unleash your desperate wants (we meant chat-y wants and
nothing else!).
An Onlooker who is virtually-in
and actually-out of Whatsapp:
These people use someone else’
mobile number to use Whatsapp. Yeah, I’m one of them. And I observed, ‘the low
data usage is the main thing that keeps Whatsapp going. And you know,
everything is so aligned and well-kept. You can do anything to anyone. All you
need is their number. It’s good in most of the ways. But I can’t tolerate these
people…who keep posting status’ just to hurt someone. Or they desperately try
to do so. Oh yeah, those forward videos and all. People started clicking and
shooting anything and everything. To please world?! I would never know. Anyway,
that’s how the world works (just like me, writing this!).
Space tour Agency!

your weekend in Neptuno (the fiftieth solar planet)? Get your luggage packed. All
you need is a swipe and a click. Don’t worry about payments. We go with cloud
banking (ah, bye to digital banking!). Go through the brochure and put your
sweaters on. Cool. That’s it! On with our instant-space-jet Topiyo.
Me, time travelled to
Future:
Well, what’s the heck is going
on? They must be kidding. No? Well, then I must be backing to where I belong.
Adieu future. You can still wait, until I’m ready.
Digital Homo sapiens:
A thousand years later, when Earth
was captured by Galactones. Hi there Galactones! We the homo-sapiens have
discussed and came up with something you would be pleased about. We understand
your uncomfortable situation in using the electronic gadgets. So we are giving
you a service on that. We can transfer your letters from one device to another.
We help you with the screen games. We can entertain you with so many on-screen
programs…and…
All that we need is a release
from this crowded folder in your system. You know, we can’t keep our population
in here for-ever. Please let us out. And we would be at your service.
An angel from the other
world:
Hmm…this humans! They still
bargain. And that 2000TB folder got packed-up, in just a year. Well, I’m going and
never coming back to rescue them. I can’t afford another galaxy getting
destroyed!
Everything changes. But this
advertisements gets better and bitter at the same time. Well, we hold no
grudges Mr. Zuckerberg, Mr. Cooper, Topiyo and Digital-sapiens! We’re cool
right?!
Yeah, that was fun. Stay tuned
for further weird and wow things, even more advertisements maybe. I was even
thinking of opening an Advertisement Agency in future. How about Next-World
Advertiser?!
Just kidding, 😉
