The “just somethings” - Ep 4

Back to writing this series. Checkout the last one here.  

To those who don’t know about this series, I write this series called - ‘The “just somethings which is about random things that I’ve come across, that has made an impact on me, could be happy one or a disturbing one. 

Saw this:
I’ve always loved long advertisements and campaigns as I’ve loved witty short ones. The long spanned ads take that time to settle down slowly injecting their logos, brand values and how they converse on how their products/services help the users on a day to day basis.

I had recently come across this ad campaign by Uber. It reminded me of 2017 days when I used to order almost daily on Uber eats. The food delivery app could do the same wonders as Swiggy yet give you better user experience with affordable prices competitively.

But, time had different things to offer: it was later acquired by Zomato.

The brand Uber eats is still alive in other countries I guess, and I was happy to view their new campaign. The ad starred the western version of Kamal Hassan - Di Niro and the blue eyed Otis guy.

‘Twas so nice to see both of my favs share screen space promoting a brand I've been fond of.

I’ve always dreamt of seeing things like this, watch it here.


Listened to this:
Although I always run back to Rajas compositions, I ran, faster this time, back to one of his finest pieces.

Just to get drenched and soaked into all three versions of Oorellaam Un Paattu Thaan - including voices of Raja, Yesudas and Swarnalatha!

Checkout: Raja version, Das chettan version, Swarnalatha version.

Go have a smooth vibe!

So I guess here’s the end of this write up! 

Stay hungry, stay crazy, stay foolish. 
See y’all.
