What made GEMS think that a panda would suit to be their mascot?
It certainly is not a sweet bit done for the endangered species. Come on! When everything is calculated in ROIs?
Or was it just a choice to suit their tagline? Am not really sure..
Actually I think the Ben10 toys attracted more kids to buy it than the panda tamasha.

Mookkile Pallu.. :D

Actually, this is a post which needs an amount of humor sense and understanding of Malayalam. If you dont have either, please feel free to browse other posts, or leave for better work. :) And yes, the saying in malayalam "Mookkil Pallu Mulakkya" [Literal Translation- "Tooth growing in Nose" heheh!!! It just means, 'getting old before something that is usually done, is not done.' (Any better interpretations are welcome.:) ) ] So, for the ones who are carrying on, I hope you do really have a bit of common sense. :) Cos, otherwise, the post wont make sense to you.. :) Now, this was a chat, I had with a chat-friend of mine, one month or so before..While I was browsing thru my old chats, I found this piece and felt the analogy beautiful.. :) Sharing it with you... It was kinda 9 o' clock I guess.. An excerpt. Changed from our chat lingo, a bit, for better understanding. " Him : So you had a bonanza this time.Onam n bday. me : :) yeah.. but it was no bi...

I dont see much of selfless love around in the world. A mother's love is said to be the best form of love for humans. Even that is cos, the baby is hers. It is her own self or a part of her she loves.. :) The fact that an adopted child is not loved as much by a mother proves my point.

Honestly, did I have a choice? What with, love for him on one side and complete trust. And unseen future on the other side? I was robbed of my innocence, my purity and love, all in a single night. All by the same person I adored and loved. No no. This aint any melodrama. This is life. My bloody life! He had me that day. And then, the next thing I knew, I was dragged from my wedding bed to his friends. You know crying never helps. I cried out loud. They did everything they felt like and he abandoned me. Serves me right. Leaving my parents for the 'love' he gave me. For all those sweet nothings. F...
