Token of India-Pakistan Ps process… Dabur gets the cake!

-
Just read about a new Ad by Dabur in Pakistan.
The kind of Advertising that is allowed in Pakistan is different from that done in India. The Media there is controlled by the govt., and there are certain laws which one needs to abide. For example, two interesting ones that I came across are:
- All the ads must include Pakistani Models only, and no one outside Pakistan
- Indian movies cannot be aired in Pakistan, though VCDs are available.

Regarding this Dabur Ad, 2 issues could be raised – one, the models were NRI models, and two, the shooting was done at Dubai, and portrayed Karachi, Lahore and Multan.
But, thanks to the latest friendship stunts, I mean efforts, taken by both the governments, this was sidelined and was accepted by the Pakistan authorities.
Should I say, they were preoccupied with putting on the smiles in front of the Indian media, or the euphoria after the 4-2 series win over India, gave them a one-up Phillip that saved Dabur and of course, Prahlad Kakkar :-)

All women need to strip off….

..the biases ..the stereotypes ..the perceptions ..the others in you No this is not a note on pornographic innuendoes, neither is it a set of tips to succeed in an MCP world. This is a collection of a little reflection, inspired by the monotony of over empathizing celebrations of Women’s day! Have you ever wondered - Why is Pink Panther a comedy and Black Panther an action hero film? Why is it that in spite of more movies in Bollywood now with lady protagonists, the Superhits – the highest grosers are still the ones that drive machismo? Why does our behavior towards women in our lives get determined by the lunar calendar? Is respect for women seasonal? Right from childhood to whatever you might term as “later stage of life” – women go through stereotypes. Some use hashtags to summarize their #MeToos, while others lock themselves in a room, praying for a better afterlife or silently waiting for the Phoenix to get up and change the world! Some empathize with their co-sufferer
