Monsoon..Raindrops keep falling on my head!!

Enough of summer-2008.Been hot and humid and now am looking forward to the monsoon.I love the rain and the atmosphere that is created around it.The cool breeze. the little rain drops splashing ur face and the road side food from tea to pakodas..all of them make monsoon the best part of the year.

The MET department has predicted a normal monsoon and i pray and hope for once the met department's correct.Here in Hyd the monsoon strikes in mid june and as i cant bear this heat anymore am goin to escape to nainital for the next 2 weeks.SO by the time am back monsoon wil be here in full force and hopefully wil bring a smile on my face.

The song "Raindrops keep falling on my head" by BJ Thomas is best apt to describe my affection for the rain..here goes the lyrics..and yeah do listen to this song..it was also a part of the movie forest grump..and for ppl who still dont get it ..this track was played whenever we dialed for the customer care on the erstwhile HUTCH network...


Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Vodafone India Tv Advert Attacked over Animal Welfare

SOURCE:www.cellular-news.com

The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has issued a formal warning to Vodafone India regarding an advertisement which features a pug dog running after a bus. The board also sent a warning to Nirvana Films which made the advert for Vodafone.

In its notice AWBI said: “The pet dog was made to run, gallop and chase the school van for a long time on a public road. Thereby, the dog was made to undergo severe pain and suffering due to the exhaustion caused by chasing (the bus).” AWBI lawyer S.R. Sundaram said: “The final film should strictly follow the script submitted at the time of pre-shoot permission for the animal performances. It is also directed that the performing animals should not be subjected to any cruelty, failing which the AWBI will initiate legal proceedings under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.”

The pug dog, called Rocky is the Vodafone Essar brand icon and has been used in a series of adverts promoting the rebranding of Hutch as Vodafone.

The film company refutes the complaint saying that the film was made in South Africa and that they have a “post-shoot fitness certificate duly signed by the veterinary doctor”

The AWBI has ordered the company to remove the section of the advert that it objects to and resubmit the advertisement for approval.
