Trust vs Untrust — Kalyan jewellers ad

Posted on : 04-02-2010 | By : Ranjith | In : Social, media

In the Recent ad (Malayalam Version) by Kalyan jewelers they are cashing in on the trust factor.. but of late there has been a row of emails which say even though they focus on trust between daughter and father , they are showing a great cheating by the girl on the boy. the face expression of the boy clearly shows the untrustworthy feeling . This has been the story of the Malayalam version of it .
here is the Malayalam version video

and this image says it

for more details pictorial view of the email forward check this
But today i saw Tamil version of the ad in which the director has cleanly managed to draw a great factor of trust.

See the video

seeing the Tamil version i felt like  the Malayalam ad tries to convey a message like no one cares for a boys feeling in kerala.

It was a shock to here the news of Cochin Haneefa’s death.

Recently it doesnt seem to be great time for Malayalam Film Industry.. News of the Premature death of stars coming in as a shock for us . Lohithadas, Murali, Rajan P. Dev and yesterday it was Cochin Haneefa.   When i started watching films he was a comedian and “Hydrose”  wan one character that i actually remembers of him as the earliest.  later i saw many films in which he was villain and really later i realized he was a director and writer too.

A bunch of unforgettable classic comic characters his role in film meeshmadhavan, manar mathaai speaking etc were simply great.  i had a chance to meet him once. It was in the set of movie “Pulival Kalyanam” in which he was doing a character of a taxi driver.  The Movie was shot near to my house and i was there to see the stars (especialy because kavya madhavan was also coming).  It wasnt a big talk or anything.  i just got a  chance to shook his hands. That is all.

His Characters have won a great unforgettable place in malayalee’s minds. He will be remembered for long time.

Rest in Peace Cochin Haneefa.

Berly has compiled few of his classic scenes in his blog . you can watch them here

Looking back on 2009

The Year 2009 paves way for a new year 2010 . at this moment i’m looking back to the eventful year 2009 to see the footprints it left over in my life.

The registration of a personal domain name (this site) is the first thing that comes to my mind when i think of 2009. yes it is an achievement.. and a big thanks to DreamHost.

I decided to give up my dream of an MBA. i just realized i should not waste much time thinking of MBA.. if it comes my way any time in future, i will take it.. but i’m not gonna dedicate too much of time on it.

Twitter!!! i wasn’t just a few months and few friends old in twitter when the year was born but at the end of the year i stand her with more than 7000 tweets and 550 friends. It was great to make contact with a lot (really a lot) of new friends through twitter and then through various other ways like tweetups and barcamps etc.

Barcamps and tweetups became a new way of social interaction for me.  A lot of friends sharing a lot of views , a lots of dreams, a lot of ideas and ideologies.  what i thought as a big things in life were in my hands this year through my friends. TedX was something i missed this year.

A few electronic items were bought this year and some are still in pending list. My  New PC ,My New Camera(Fujifilm s200HD) ,My new TV tuner Card, new Headphone etc are the notable new things around me.. A new Mobile and a laptop are in the pending list.

Few Good Films were in theaters this year.. and i experienced multiplex for the very first time.   i’ve already written a post about my take on the malayalam movies of 2009.

Micheal Jackson’s death  is the be the saddest moment of 2009, MJ was great in all means

Traditional Main Stream media vs New age media (blogs, twitter etc) was a unhealthy fight in 2009.. even though the Main Stream media was very strong in 2009 i can see a day not too far away were we main stream media is fought down.

For me Telangana issue sounds like a serious shame for India.  it all sounded like someone is seriously planing a divide and rule policy on india.  shame on how our leaders dealt with the issue.

YS Rajashekar reddy’s death was a shock to India and Andra pradesh.  A salute to the great leader.

Mullaperiyar issue is blown out of context by senseless and brainless tamilnadu leaders. they should learn to respect lives of 40 lakh people..

Regionalism is becoming a cancer on Republic of India. we really need a strong leader at the center to stop the regionalism issue.  Mumbai , Telangana , Goorkaland, and a lots of other narrow minded rationalist maniacs still on news is a real threat to United India.
