  • A girl A boy and A planet

    “I am a star, a rock star”, she said!”Maybe more than that, maybe a real star”, he said.

    “And I am out of this world”, she said

    “Maybe then you need to have a place to stay outside this world too”, he said

    “I think so too”, she said

    “Maybe I will make a planet for you, and you could stay there”, he said

    “Fantastic”, she said

    “And I will name it after you”, he said

    “No name it after yourself”, she said

    “Kabhi ghar ke upar contractor ya architect ka naam dekha hai likha hua? tere naam par hona chahiye naam.”, he said

    “Rahega na tu thekedaar aur architect hi… tujhe artist nahin ban-na lagta hai kabhi. Ghonchu”, she said

    “umm… umm… hmm…. Arre par… agar… magar… “,he said and mumbled

    “Michelangelo ka kaam kahin bhi rahe, Michelangelo hi kehlaata hai”, she said

    “Baat to sahi hai teri! Seekhna padega”, he said

    “Chal ab planet bana aur naam rakh”, she said

    “Par main naam phir bhi tere upar hi rakhunga”, he said

    “achcha achcha ghonchu”, she said

    So he spent the days and weeks and months making a planet for her, and when it was ready, he spent days on the name… what could the name be!!! What was it that was the most important for him about her for her about him for them about this and what not…

    He finally decided that her planet would be called “Fiducia”

    and the people on her planet would be called Fiducians,

    He never knew if she liked the name or not, but when he told her about the names, she said “Love you!”, and he said “Love you too”, and she said “As if you have a choice!”

  • Let the kids stop the melting !!!

    Targetting kids has been a strategy that ad-makers have been following for a long time now… and I am sure it works, because when a kid decides to get something, it usually is based how impressed (s)he is with what has been told and how it has been told to him !!! 
    Conservation is another thing that needs to be sold this way… There are things happening already ( e.g the Smoke on Diwali in Delhi has considerably reduced after the Kids in schools have been told about the pollution and told again and told again )
    Looking forward to the schools making a biiiiig difference in the way the world lives today !!!
    Amen !
