We Indians!

Watch this.

This is the work of trueroots, which is associated with Tata communications.

This from their blog.

Last month my mother came to visit me and insisted on putting a clothesline in my flashy Manhattan apartment. It only makes me smile. Some habits, quirks, whims — we just can’t do without. It’s probably in the air of the subcontinent. But they define us wherever far and wide we may go. [link]

We Indians are an awesome lot. (And i am not even being sarcastic.)

    I absolutely love this AD. I’ve seen it on TV before.

    love the soft soulful background music. notice this about every ad – like instructions on what to feel while watching it! once i saw all tv ads without audio – believe me, it was a strange experience. these days i am floored by the “dil titli, dil titli sa”. so, you are enjoying your back-to-my-roots life. good. it saddens me that really nice people return and not the violent, ill-mannered louts who are a blot to india wherever they go.

    @My3 – Cool! Good to see you back after quite some time!

    @Sunehra – Welcome to Amreekandesi! I didnt know this ad was running on TV!

    @ms – Good point. Ditto for horror movies. Half the horror goes away if you turn the sound to mute! And yups, i am very much enjoying life in India!
