Ok Baba?




Have you ever noticed the adverts of these so-called Baba’s? They are so freaking interesting with their shaadi, manchaahi naukri and voodoo claims. I especially love the ones who claim to throw an ‘open challenge’ and ‘nakad inaam’ to rival Babas! Such fun!

But what’s most intriguing is that ALL of them unanimously use Sai Baba. And I mean every single one of them! I mean I know its Sai ‘Baba’ and these guys are, well, Babas, so maybe there’s a connect. But still yaar. Get a ‘little’ creative. We have so many cool Gods out there. Think of the variety! Then you can actually target fools as per their faith!

Like all the Babas can get together and take up monopoly over different Gods! Then all the fools who believe in Shiva can go to Moin ji Samrat, those who believe in Hanuman can go to Aadil Shah and so on. The Baba business can be segregated into different product categories and lines! Like a fundu business model!

PS: One last observation, courtesy my everyday travel in both Central and Western lines. Trains on the Western line are packed with these Baba ads. However, those on the Central Line mainly have construction and property ads. Does this say something?
