It's been more than a week since I went on an indefinite fast against the menace of child labour brought to my attention by the Surf Bar ad (those who missed the post, just scroll down). All my disciples were worried about me. Someone tried to replace the glass of water with a glass of juice. But I could smell, and couldn't be fooled. I also got a call from someone claiming to be the boy's father and he agreed with my demands. I was pleased. As I was about to eat my first laddu, it struck me that the father's voice closely resembled that of my pet disciple! In anger I threw the laddu at him! God forgive me for this display of Himsa.
Everyone thought that I will not break my fast. But then there was some movement at the 'Center'. I saw the following ad and smiled for the first time after enduring months of boring advertising. Prickly heat remedies, soaps, personal care... Sigh! Only I know the pain banal advertising can cause. Sometimes it is more revolting than the ads I protest against... Anyways, I would like to see this ad more often (not too often, though. Even a good commercial has a shelf life)
