Farewell & Pixie Dust

People move, They move around quite so lot And some place they stay For quite some time Maybe strike a match, With some similar minds Nobody knows how or when But when that happens, People gather memories I call them pixie dust ‘Coz I love to fantasize Slowly and so slowly All the little dusts Gathers up and settles down But people move, And when they do, All the pixie dust that has gathered Glitters like in sun Spreading the warmth And all the emotions That’s packed in, Pours out like rain And sweet as it is to have be en with you, It is time for you to move too As much as I want you to be here It is only fair to tell you farewell, now And here we go, A little something , For the special someone ! I remember the first time I met you, crystal. Abhijit sir had told me that I will no longer be there in his team and has to shift to Compass . And that day you came and took me with you.

Advertising...my thoughts!



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.

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!).

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, 😉
