Talking of TV commercials, I was really impressed with Abhi-Aish  Lux ad. Aish looks gorgeous as ever and Abhi is also looking hot for a change.

Another impressive one is the new Tata DOCOMO commercial. It shows people in a train bonding together. The expressions on their faces are really refreshing. The tagline – Why walk alone when you can dance together – is also quite impressive.

Another good one is of Red Label tea. In this ad, when the wife wants to visit her mom, the husband feigns 104 fever by dipping the thermometer in the tea cup. But how does this depict the quality of the tea is beyond my comprehension.

For the last 67 years, we have seen dear Archie unable to take the most important decision of his life. In almost all the Archie comics I have read, there has been always one thing in common and that was Archie’s attraction towards his two girlfriends.

Betty was the homely and caring one while Veronica was the loud, rich, and outspoken one. But finally it seems that Archie Andrews has settled down for the unpredictable Veronica leaving all Archie readers flabbergasted!

The lovely triangle has finally been broken and Archie will be seen proposing to Veronica in the 600th issue of the comic book. The duo is set to wed in an August issue when they will graduate from college and venture out in the working world. For more news and updates, check out www.archiecomics.com.

Music is essential for our soul and hence it should be an important part of our life. Whenever i get time to unwind music helps me de-stress. In India music has a rich heritage but it is sad that people hesitate to take it up as a full-time profession. Recently on a television reality show, one of the contestants once ousted was so dejected that he announced that he will ensure that his future generations do not take up music as a full-time profession. However, in countries like US and UK music gets its well deserved due. In fact, in UK, they have a music festival in the month of August in which the live performances and stage shows win the hearts of thousands of people. It is known as Reading festival and, for the uninitiated, it may sound like a festival related to books and words. But actually, it is called so because it is held every year in the town of Reading.Fans can use various online sites to purchase Reading Festival tickets.

Some legendary players at the Reading Festival include Metallica, The Killers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and others. Such lively festivals should be held across the world so that people’s faith in music as a healing formula for the soul is restored.

These days social networking sites like myspace, facebook and orkut are extremely popular not only amongst youngsters but also amongst the elderly for the reasons sighted as dating, networking or building activity partners but the reasons are far beyond these. Once you set up your identity on the Internet, one constantly struggles to improve it by hook or by crook! So an ugly man will put up an image of an actor or write things about himself which might not be true. People might create fake identities for dating purposes. On the other side sometimes, you get to meet old long lost friends on such sites which have settled in different sub continent. For me it is an excellent way to keep in touch with my friends and relatives.

Since i got pregnant, i noticed that there is a huge audience worldwide who are always on the lookout for which actress is pregnant, how many children they are having, and even how they are planning their nurseries!! Adoption from underdeveloped countries is considered stylish which reminds me of Angelina Jolie carrying Maddox on her hip. They are so popular that people or press are willing to pay millions to get the first pic of celebrity babies. Tom Cruise and Katie charged a bomb when their daughter was posted on the newspaper or magazine for the first time. Madonna also recently declared after her India visit that she wants to adopt from India. Let’s see if she remembers her promise or it was just some publicity stunt for her new album. During the Cannes festival too, Angelina Jolie and Aslee Simpsom were proudly showing off their bumps and they were cynosure of all eyes. I dont think in times to come this trend is going to die down. Even advertising companies will take advantage of it.
