Unmasking originality in advertising? Not so hypothetical.

'Unmasking to seek the original' might ' sound' absurd but it doesn't ' work' to be that absurd. How is the originality defined? Does originality compel difference? Should the ads not be repeated to be called original? No idea could be an independently evolved one with no ties to existing. The very base of the emergence of any idea is the pre-formed mindset framed by exposure to various existing ones. This would settle as an inspiration of the existing ideas to help in understanding of the current scenario in the society. We see, we register, we analyze and then we respond to things in the form of marketing. A product of these, the idea, is by any means 99.6% 'independent' where the credit of the dependent 0.4% go for the 4 points mentioned. Nevertheless the idea is original. The originality not at an entirety but with the degree of independency of the idea. The actual 'originality' depends on the transparency of the advertiseme

Is it okay to be 'Branded'? How good is it?

Dwelling, the place where these lives reside is everything from the nest of a bird to the Palace of a king. These are built from the nature, upon nature and with the nature giving a new picturesque to the surrounding. These shelters are thus born; ready to adapt, for it to survive in the nature. They grow along with the nature, undergoing all the changes that come by the passage of time. The birth and death of these are governed by architectural principles of the coming era.

Right from the ‘micro’ of a fabric to the ‘mega’ of an assemblage, there lies a subconscious idea with its roots spreading to the social ideologies and mental perceptions. Any such perception would let itself drown into the ideologies dumped by social media and communication means.            A time lag would let us think- “How did the land of sarees allow western wear?” With the politics of choice of clothing put aside, how did this thought even emerge and dig its way through the diverse  communities and classes ?            “Globalisation” - They say.            The whole process went through different revolutionary changes – from the secluded communities to opening up to a new era namely industrialisation followed by a giant “21 st century leap” comprising different governing ideas such as Technology and media – all opening up opportunities to interact a
