A cooked up commercial for Pepsodent v/s Polo

I woke up in the morning, only to find that there was no water supply today. No bath is ok, its Saturday, but how do I brush my teeth? Idea! I pop in two polo mints and head out of the house and I thought, waaaaitttt...what a 'real- life incident' commercial for Polo! So here I am, first thing in my office, writing the script for the TVC, just for kicks!
Here it goes!

Product: Nestle Polo
Theme: Pepsodent v/s Polo
Date: March 31, 2012
Subject: TVC script


The alarm rings and a 28 year old guy with 'centre shock hair' and boxers sleepwalks to the bathroom.
He stands with his eyes closed in front of the wash basin, runs the tap with his eyes closed and feels the temperature of the water by swaying his hands under the tap. (In fast forward motion, like an everyday drill)


He scowls and opens his eyes. The pepsodent is staring helplessly at him.
He thinks of his meeting and yelps.
Suddenly, he snaps his fingers, jumps and pops a polo in his mouth.

Cut to the meeting. He sits next to a woman.
MVO: "Hi, did I miss anything?".
FVO: "Kaunsa toothpaste?", she asks, ignoring the presentation.
He pulls out a polo and says,
MVO:"Nestle Polo, the mint with the hole" and winks!

Narrator's Voiceover with a product shot: "Nestle Polo, the moth freshener that does not run on water".


Narrator's Voiceover: "Note: This commercial is based on a real life incident and any co-incident with everything dead or living is intentional."

"Raaaaaahulllll, paaani chala jayegaaa"

Today my Pepsodent toothpaste, Neutrogena face wash, Boots shower gel, Surf excel and Vim are on a bank holiday gifted by the Corporation of Bangalore, the occasion being 'No water day!'

Vada Pav mania

Went ballistic after the vada pav we had on the way to Pune. Its like finding water in a desert here in Kannadaland, where idli dosa is life! mmm...vada pavv

Basanti, tumhara naam kya hai?

Dear Blue Dart, my name does not end with a question mark!

Yellow di Gadddii

I walk past this car almost everyday. It's completely smashed. Probably abandoned. Its quite a cool car I think. Has a personality. Not like the usual Honda and Ford which look like they are out of a clone factory. I'd love to buy it and do it up with some grafitti. Totally my kinda car :) Will go hunting for the owner of this car. Even if he doesn't sell it, I'll volunteer to doodle on his car for free!!
