Having stayed in the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, for over two years (been visiting right form my childhood) and travelling quite extensively all over the state, I find this wonderful advertisement for tourism in MP all the more appealing.
So far have been to Jabalpur, Bilaspur (then MP), Bhopal, Indore, Ratlam, Sehore, Bhimbetka, Maihar, Bhojpur, Pachmarhi, Sanchi and of course, Khajuraho (twice over). Enjoy the multi-splendours of Madhya Pradesh in this bioscope of an ad.

Speaking of bioscopes, there is a documentary on The Bioscopewallah by Prashant Kadam. I've heard a lot about the film but haven't watched it yet.
Update: (June 28, 2007) The popularity of the aforementioned TVC has led to a print campaign which essentially showcases the ingredients of the TVC in a comic strip format (with a few additional places added):

The other day while returning from work an ambulance was overtaking our office bus, when I noticed it, an extra long domain name - www.kapoormedicalandambulanceservices.com - proudly displayed on the side of the vehicle. Why would anyone go for such a long domain name?
A little googling and I found that there are many much much longer, but most of them are just for the heck of it. Long domain names don't make good business sense as they are harder to remember and are more prone to errors when someone types them out on a browser's address bar. The same also applies for this blog. But when I register my own domain name (don't know when) will try to keep it short and simple (if that's available).
The Guinness Book of World Records has rested the category for the longest domain name "because there is no merit whatsoever in this. It takes little to no effort and is similar to taking the largest number in the world and then adding 1 to it." This was in response to the claim made by www.thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com.
There are numerous other claimants to the title of the world's longest domain name and I didn't waste my time counting the number of character in there.

A November 1987 ad for Kohinoor Fiesta Colour Condoms (published in Debonair)
The copy reads:
Tonight don't put the lights off
You can't see the colours of passion in the dark
Kohinoor Fiesta Colour Condoms
Available in Red, Green, Blue, Violet & Black
A TTK product
They didn't have
Night Light glow in the dark condoms then.

She is touted as the world's most beautiful news anchor. She's a stunner, no doubts about that. Pity, I don't understand French.
Melissa Theuriau has been ranked 46 in AskMen.com's 2007 edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women and is also in the race for FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2007. Her bio and what's being written about her gives the impression that she is an accomplished journalist. But if it is the first impression that counts, she's at least 8.5/10.
Melissa's even got a site on her and her videos and photos are all over the place. Especially ones where she's seen frolicking topless at a beach. A search for her name on Google yields 834,000 results and she's already a victim of cybersquatting. And she's only 28. Beauty does take you places, where brains alone might not suffice.
