Crash The Pepsi IPL

I am casting my vote for the following ads made by users for the ##CrashThePepsiIPL .

Crash The Pepsi IPL - Winner - Living It

Kaushal Shah

This video is what we call a well-knit video. It talks about life from everyone's prospect. How Pepsi has walked into our lives many years ago and now is a part of our daily routine. Its packaging is so good, that most Indians use it in some form or the other. This video is one such rare collection, demonstrating all the possible uses of the Pepsi can/bottle. The sentiments of the people are put in this ad very skillfully. How a mother uses the bottle to grow a few plants, how siblings use it to fly kites, how it forms a part of someone’s memory, how roadside vendors use it for their bread and butter, how someone uses it to have fun, how it is used in a different fashion for styling, how friends and family uses it to play a game. It’s Pepsi that has been there in our lives and will continue to be there for many more years to come.

Crash the Pepsi IPL – Winner – Rajma - Upma

Living in the south and also in the north, this ad is something which seemed very very interesting to me personally. The tiff that goes on between the North Indians and the South Indians is so well portrayed in this video. It almost made me laugh, how they fight over the food they have with them. It’s a very common thing among these two communities to fight over the food choice. However, the ending is very nicely thought out. There is always something that binds all communities of a country together. And what better than a bottle of Pepsi! After their show off of the food, when they both take out the bottle of Pepsi, it is a moment of friendly connect. I appreciate this video a lot.

Crash the Pepsi IPL - Winner - Serve

Nikita Deshpande

This ad for me is a total Winner!! The theme of Pepsi IPL is literally explained so beautifully that I am pretty much out of words! How cleverly thought of, how nicely scripted and how beautifully linked with the theme. It almost brought a smile on my face when I saw the Rosgulla and the mention of Kolkata’s team- KKR. And there is no doubt that everyone who watches this will have a smile on their face when they hear their favorite city/ their hometown’s team. I believe the creator of this ad video had an aim to touch the hearts of all their viewers. And I am so happy to say, you did great! And the ad was beautified with the mention of Pepsi at the end of it all, with the IPL tune! Well done indeed.

 “I’m voting for the best ads in the#CrashThePepsiIPL activity in association with BlogAdda from 8th May to 14th May. Are you?”

Friendship

                                  

Friendship.

One word which is known to the young and the old. Often for couples they say-“matches are made in heaven”. I say friends are made in heaven.

I might have a whole different outlook towards this concept. I don’t think the whole idea of having someone to go out with and spending recklessly at some pub counts for friendship, (maybe it is the case for some). However, for me friendship is that connection which is so strong that even if you are far away from him/her, you feel their presence in your life. The fact that ever met of yours, be it after a day, a week, a month or a year, it’s exactly the same. The equation never changes. You don’t feel, that the lack of your physical presence caused a harm to your friendship.

                                                   

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

As we grow up, we meet ‘n’ number of people, we try to become friends, but the connection is what matters the most. The heart to heart connection is what I am talking about. Friends are those that wont judge you for gaining those extra pounds of holiday weight, they won’t look down upon you if you lack knowledge somewhere, (they will rather help you in learning about the topic), around them you won’t feel left out if you are broke, they will understand your sadness after breakups and will say something which will immediately crack you up, and the list goes on. They are a rare bunch of crazy, awesome, lunatics and the offenses against them are what strengthens the friendship!

                                            

Friends are for keeps,

With them you share the feels.

To find them is the treasure hunt of life,

Once found, you know you will never have to hide.

P.S. - Dedicated to all my lovely friends, you guys mean the world to me! Love you!

With Love,

Z for Zeal

It’s all within us. We just need to find it. The power to achieve, the hunger to conquer lies within. In this vast world, we might be lost at times, situations maybe crop up wherein you feel you are nothing, that life is a waste. 

In those times you need to keep calm and think patiently as to what is your dream, what is that goal you have been wanting to achieve since you were a child, why have you worked so hard till now, what is it that matters the most.

These questions will unveil the truth, it will shed light upon the things that are closest to your heart and it will lead you towards a happy, wonderful life.

Coming to the end of anther years writing challenge, I feel satisfied for having made it till the very end. Blogging is all about expressing your ideas and thoughts, how you feel about something, your sole prospective. This challenge has helped my blog, since so many people from different parts of the world have read it and appreciated the work done. Had it not been for this challenge, this blog would not have reached the people that it did.

Thank you A to Z challenge for this opportunity. And kudos to all those bloggers who took up this challenge and survived till the very end. Cheers to you all!

With Love,
