Reviewed General Tips on TV Advertisements

Sorrowful state of our ads

I do not like the ads that say :''Its a boy'', why what's wrong with its a girl. I truly feel humiliated with a lot of my friends who also do not like the sanitary napkin ads show on tv. It is so degrading that even the men in the household feel embarrassed. Can't they show the ads for such prod...Read more

Any ex students like to comment about them

The bunch of councellors at the Vile Parle West center were a group of conmen and conwomen, who used to use lies to get people to pay their hard earned money and join their courses. Most often the counsellors were having affairs and not bothered about their students, and all the time they were o...Read more

Temporary Illusions by Revlon

Recently, Revlon came up with a new marketing strategy called skinlights - in layman language they were eyeshadows meant to go on your eyelid, powder that glitters, and lotion that has sunprotection or so they claim and glitters, too. I became a sucker for the smooth talking counter females a...Read more

TATA TEA, temptations, assam tea

I have always been a sucker for buy one item, get one free. My family members are just about sore throat screaming at me that I would even by 100 kgs of salt, if they gave me a free bucket after that. But I decided to turn a new leaf when I bought two new plastic jars of Tata Tea, Temptations...Read more

Expensive

Its costly and the most irritating part is every now and then the person who sits watching the patient has to go down so many floors to buy the medicines they recommend sometimes more than once a day. If only one person is allowed to sit with a patient, how is that person able to go rush and buy...Read more

Lousy cooks

Recently when it was their birthday, the one free with one paid scheme was on. I choose the chicken tikka. Both the pizza's arrived, half raw and smelling like a raw ch...Read more

Leads to empty pockets intantly

I truly did like eating at Pizza Hut in London. But I find the price of the pizzas very expensive in a place like Bombay. How can someone who is in college afford to go to Pizza Hut and eat on a regular basis. Yet, every time I pass this restaurant, I see droves of college students waiting in lo...Read more

Not all good in quality

I believe it is my personal experiece, that a no. of products sold by Avon at its Juhu office, is out of date, or old. This causes pigmentation and dark marks on the skin if used on the face and neck. Frankly, people go for Avon because it is cheap in price, but they pay the price after buying t...Read more

Buying a bajaj rave is one hell of a disappointment. It does not have spare parts easily available. Its difficult for a ladies to use because of the gears to be changed while riding it.
