The more things change...the more...2

Stumbled upon Russell Peters and his like and watched them on Youtube. Friends and colleagues too loved the irreverent , politically incorrect humor a lot of it poking at 'us'. Shows we are maturing in our worldview , we're longer sensitive to good humored cracks. We're more confident in our skins. And then I saw comments left behind on other sorta 'patriotic' videos and though many comments could be attributed to "others"...unnecessary jingoism and aggressive , cheap comments seemed to be commonplace.
The times...they are a changing...at both ,the hurtling speed after the glacial melts in the Himalayas and contrastingly , the turgid flow of the Hooghly as it meets the sea !

Keeping your smile Intact

The latest Vicco ad continues with it's rustic grammar but introduces a multi-national target group . A truly multi national group with people appearing to be from different parts of the world-West, East...they use the Vicco paste whereas the village headman uses the powder!
Guess this was to be expected given the way pop culture , movies have gone...NRIs , foreign stars...
