saral english

saw this awesome 20 minute ad on one of those shopping channels..

take1- a watchman from the hindi heartland is picking up the telephone...he struggles to answer the call since the speaker on the other side can only speak in english! and our bhaiyya cannot speak in english for the love of god

take2

a bunch of executives come toward our bhaiyya watchman and give him a mouthful for lifting the phone and also telling him that Iyer Sir ko hindi nahin aata aur tumhe english nahin aata...tumhe sirf watchman ka kaam karna hai phone uthane ka zaroorat nahin hai (meaning the iyer boss cant speak hindi for the love of god and likewise you cant do the same in english so limit your career option to being just a watchman)

take3

our bhaiyya watchman is literally in tears at home and his wifey is consoling the poor chap...but with a firm resolve our bhaiyya is not one to give up..he takes up the saral english speaking course and vows to study day and night

take4

same watchman bhaiyya is taking a call but this time he can walk englees, talk englees, eat, sleep and crap englees...he informs Iyer boss that the executives as usual are not in office as they are out peddling drugs to school children

Iyer boss is mighty impressed with bhaiyyas englees..he immediately promotes bhaiyya watchman to executive...watchman bhaiyya's happiness knows no bounds the backround music is heart wrenching

take5

watchman turned executive bhaiyya is sitting at a round table discussing marketing and pricing strategies and explaining complex theories and all in englees :)
Iyer boss is mighty impressed and immediately promotes him to general manager sales!!
talk about luck!

take6

bhaiyya darling is feeding kaju kishmish (cashew raisin) sweets to his wifey for the permossun

take 7

old man dressed like he is still from the victorian era comes on screen complete with a coat, bowler hat and smoking a pipe...cant get more englees than this!

then he says stuff which only confirms your doubt that the stuff in his pipe is truly hash....saral englees will change your life forever you will go from being a watchman to a ceo in no time

at this point i barely managed to keep my hands off my mobile and throwing it at the tv

but then i realised the simple way to truth is to show a watchman bhaiyya an inside of a call center and all the slaves working day and night and all because they can talk englees, walk englees...

and it wont take long before he decides to go back to previous job!

anyways i suggest if you want to jump up the corporate ladder stop kissin your boss's ass and grab a copy of saral englees..the sureshot way to stardom!
