What is wrong with the people???

Its New Year's time and yet I am writing a very angry post, but the matter of the fact is that I am very miffed with the attitude of some  most of the people around me. I am doing MBA and right now its the Placement time in my college which means hell lot of a competition but fortunately that is not the problem with my batch. I am irritated with their attitude towards me.
I am different from my batch-mates in certain ways. Here are some of the facts:
  1. I am an INDIAN married girl
  2. I am doing MBA after my marriage
  3. My husband is an engineer from IIT and an MBA from XLRI ( for the benefit of non Indian readers, these 2 are the premier educational institutes in India)  and now has moved to Sharjah (UAE)
For most of the people it was difficult to digest the fact that I am doing MBA staying away from my husband because conventional Indian thinking does not guarantee this but then they had got to appreciate the fact and well they thought that i was lucky. may be they are right as I had never thought of doing an MBA post marriage as my in laws are way to conservative but then my husband is not, actually he is the one who motivated me to do so.

Once people got over this fact they started commenting why do you need a job from college, your husband will get you a job of your liking. All these people knew that I am one of the biggest competitors they had and they did  acknowledge this fact but also left no opportunity to comment sarcastically.

Then came the news that me and my husband are going to relocate to Sharjah and all hell break lose (OK I am exaggerating but then I am very angry). The comments that followed:

  • "NRI, hmn... nice.... why do you need a job now, your husband is earning in dirhams"
  • "What will you do with a job, spend what your husband earns"
  • "You have an NRI husband, rich girl you are"
  • "Oh God! Why don't I have a husband in Dubai"
  • etc etc etc
I HATE them all.

All these people have simply mentioned the facts: My husband is financially sound, I like to spend, for all practical purposes I do not need a job. Also these people have never ever doubted my capabilities, they know I am good rather better then a lot of them. But, I am still angry with all the comments and most importantly the tone of the comments. It just makes me ANGRY and irritated and I have actually yelled at a couple of them.
My point is that if you are that amazed, intrigued or jealous then instead of looking for a job, look for a rich spouse yourself and stop bothering me.

Probably I am simply exaggerating, probably this is the way people talk in general. But my problem is that I do not comment on anybody else's life, I do not give unsolicited advices and I expect the same in return.... I guess I am expecting too much... Whatever.... from now onwards I have decided not to pay attention to silly people and their super silly comments.

Actually after writing the entire post I realize that now a days everybody is commenting on everybody else... For example:


  • When a student who has got the job attends the classes regularly, people say, "Why are you attending classes, you are already placed"
  • When the same student bunks the classes the same people say, " Why will you attend the classes, you are already placed"
Human beings are a real CRAZY specie.

I think I feel better now :)
Thanks for reading all the ramblings of mine....

Ads We Grew Up Watching & Loving

Yesterday in the adjoining Marketing class at my institute the students were playing some Video Ads which kind of took me back to the memory lane. Well Ads are made to market the products but still some of them are so aesthetically done that they leave an everlasting impression and now when we watch them they give us goose bumps as well.
So I decided to this post about my top 5 ads of all times.. The ads we all grew up watching... So here we go

1) These are a series of Kuch Khaas Hai Hum Sabhi Main Ads ( There is something special in each one of us)  by Dairy Milk


My favorite is the dancing girl ad :)

2) This is my favorite Raymond Ad



3) Nescafe Commercial: Love the Song


4) Mantra we should live by ( I don't like milk but love the jingle :))


5)  Love the craziness of this commercial



6) The best Pepsi Commercial ever....



 These are some of my top of the minds ad. Do add your fav commercials to the list :)
