Rapunzel Dreams

Anush desires to grow her hair so long that it touches the ground. Her paati ( my mom) has promised to carry it like train for her. If you have seen my hair, you will know it is completely their idea.

Anush saw this at a supermarket and exclaimed" Amma this will make my hair grow very long !!"
I said "No baby it is a shampoo. You wash it off. "
She reasoned " No Amma, it will. See this girl. Her long hair. " And pointed to the graphic on it

What a sucker they make of us- these marketeers. And they catch us really young, don't they?

Oh yes they do. Ansh would not have Hrlicks becoz Complan ad says that complan is better than Horlicks.

Hoep Ansh gets to grow her hair long. Lots of maintenace to be done by Mummma :)

Artnavy said...

monika.ansh- complan IS better than horlicks but

monika- yes and that is when i remember my lessons in mica when we were taught to to be responsible marketeers


IBH- did not try th efood- loved the quirky ambience- the pancake was more like a crepe

chox- :-)

VJ- yes and whiel i think we r more responsibel in our business there are many moments when i think i am no better than the rest- conning people indirectly. . . that is when and why i turn to writing or home decor or culture . . .
