Jewelery That Gets You Married

This ad makes interesting viewing.

So all you mothers-after-your-daughter-to-get-married - take her to a Tanishq showroom and get her to try some heavy jewelery worth a few Crores. That is supposed to change her mind.

After all, isnt that what a wedding is all about? Tons of jewelery, fancy food, and an NRI husband?

BTW, NRI husband? I thought they went out of fashion, like, a few years back!

    So shallow, it might be. But it works you know? It always does. The only time I think marriage is not such a bad option is when I enter a saree/jewelery shop.

    and the san jose part of it was so funny! ; )

    I wanted to blog about this ad! You beat me to it :D
    This ad is such an insult to the Indian woman’s intelligence…that no matter how independent, educated and accomplished you are, you can be hoodwinked into marriage even when you’re not ready for it….why? Cuz of dem shiny, bling, things….d—uuuhhhh….drooollll.
    Thanks for the space to rant. Nice blog.

    @perplexed – Really not well placed to comment on this. But a trip to a Hugo Boss showroom to check out their latest line never really inspired me to immediately get married. I think this can be a safe male equivalent! ;)

    @Smitha – :)

    @Purnima – I hear you! Welcome to amreekandesi, and thanks for the appreciation. Hope to see you around!

    @Perx – Looking at all the indignation from women, i am not so sure now!

    @Kiran – Shallow they may be, but they will make us dig deep into our savings to buy the sort of stuff being advertised ;)

    That’s quiet funny….I doubt any intelligent Woman would like it ;-) And yeah NRI husbands are no longer appealing husband materials too..you are correct !

    Yes, I actually tweeted about this. There were people who disagreed as well. Follow this conversation, http://twitter.com/_alps/status/13415151273
