Favourite kids in Ads - How can you miss the girl who comes in the asian paints ad? She is there in a whole lot of them now, whirlpool (with kajol and devgan) and a lot more i dont remember.. very cute
And i also have to mention the de beers ads for all the marketing based on mass delusions of rarity. and stupid ppl believe diamonds are rare. insane.
Yep, all lovely ads. I loved the The Literacy mission's - "Purab se surya ugaa". The song was so melodious. Maybe I should google it up and watch it someday :) Also the dhara jalebi wala ad was precious. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, dont know any of these ads but Anush's pics in the previous post are so cute ! Ishita went through that phase too - wonder if its only a girl thing !!
Do u mean 'One black coffee pls' by the Ericsson Ad?
If I am not wrong, it came as one among the top 10 in top-10 Asian Ads...
The Asian Ad with Kittu and Co with Rahman jingling 'Yaadon Mein , Un baton mein, Jeevan ke Rang badhalte hai" was a very cool one too...
HEY NO ONE IS TAKING UP THE TAG?
anusha - yes the one black coffee one
nz- pity u did not ctach these ads- u missed something
analogkid- i htink that kid is akansha in soem ad- really sweet yes
The little helper pics are so very cute. Ayaan is going through a phase of wanting to help too. The latest is that he will open the cutlery drawer and bring the spoons one by one to the dining table (must have picked up on the maid setting the table) and when the drawer is empty, he take them back one by one and put them away again!

cool tag.. enjoyed the clever ad link:-)
Whoa! Cool one there! Mez never pd so much attn 2 advts! I do watch them but not so attentive!
woah...thats a cool list..agree with most of the categories!...specially love the amul hoardings!
Romantic ad: Oh yes, the cadbury one.
The thumsup one with Kunal Kapoor is nice too.
I'd like to add a cute ad: the one for Bru where the girl goes :sa sa sa and sugar as she wants to talk to her father about her love.
The earliest jingles I recollect are the radio ads in Tamil:"lifebuoy" (Lifebuoy irukumidam aarogyam irukum idam")and there was one for coca cola on radio in "Inbam ootidum coca cola"
Favorite kids: Also the Pears kid that goes "aapka chela mere liye lucky hai"and the jilebi kid for dhara and the little girl who terrorises Amitabh in Asian Paints and the little boy with Amitabh in Rin white (yellow yellow dirty fellow)
Grooviest man: would have to be Richard Gere for Visa card.
Oh yes, Lifebuoy and OK saabun are also there on my mind- did any of you take up the tag on your blog?
Hi Artnavy: Will do this tag in the next post, as soon as its possible. promise!!
And btw... u know what? Ads are more like.. memories of childhood too.. the one i love the most, ever, is Mile Sur Mera Tumhara... its the best ad ever made!
