Me college has 3 Fests.....one for the technical dept...thats EDGE....one for cultural stuff...ANAKRONOS and one Management fest thats Uniex[which i call UNISEX]....just for fun.....so me pals nikhil and sanket[shanky baby] decided 2 put their best foot forward for the UNIEX thing and decided 2 take part ina lot of stuff one being ADSPOOF....where a team gets a tagline and has 2 make an ad on it......the ad cant be the ad of the same product in which the tag line appears....
so we go 2 the qualifyin round....and there are around 7 groups......with 3 people being the most in a team.......so nikhil goes 2 pick up a chit from a bag containin the many tag lines......he licks one up and its in BONG...so we said "BOOJI NA BOOJI NA....[cant understand]..."....so he picks a new one.....same problem in bong...and another picked same prob again....finally we get a new one which is in ENGLISH
"THE TEAST OF INDIA"....yes i didnt spell the thing wrong thats what was written on the paper....we all know its..."THE TASTE OF INDIA"....amul butter...
so the 3 of us had decided that no matter what tag we get we gonna make an ad on CONDOMS....yeah SAY IT LOUD.....just when we were decidin bout the ad...a senior came up 2 us and said "GUYS NOTHIN VULGAR "....damn we thought oh well back 2 the drawing board........
then all of a sudden everyone gets off their chairs and stands up coz the princi came 2 judge the contest along with a couple more sirs......one sir was a real good guy explaining what all we were supposed to do....
back 2 the thinkin
i thought of tourism as an advertisement.......rasgollas also came up along with a few other things...
but we all decided on DESI DAROO....[DESI ALCOHOL].....
the ad was simple....
a alcoholic goes into a bar...asks for a drink.....he gets something...he throws it away sayin..."GIMME SOMETHING NEW...SOMETHING DESI...." and then DESI DAROO comes up ...he takes a sip and alls done........he enjoys the drink...says
"THIS IS GOOD....THIS IS DESI......"
from behind 2 of us were supposed 2 say like proper MEN
"DESI DAROO THE TASTE OF INDIA...."
SO THE COMP starts......a couple of guys made an ad on ZAPAK MAIL using the horlicks tagline....and so on....we got our chance....and we were supposed 2 brief the people bout our ad.....as soon as we said "DAROO" the teachers said we cant make an ad on that since it "AINT ALLOWED INDIA".......so we had 2make a surrogate ad.....using "DESI SODA"....same ad except soda used in place of "DAROO"......when the ad was finished we were supposed 2 say THE TASTE OF INDIA....WHICH FOR SOME REASON SHANKY DECIDED 2 SING OUT......
whenever a team finished an ad they were applauded....we didnt get nothing done.....everyone was more shocked as 2 how direct our ad was....including the princi........
the results were announced...and as expected we didnt win.......we came 5th out of 7 teams....
then sanket[shanky] gets all
big and says....damn it we should have made the ad on FURNITURE..........
haahaha... :D
