My friend is very craze about ad film making, i saw a deep fire in him, i hope within 3 to 5 years he will be one of the big fish in ad film making.

Hey there guys and girls,
I’d like to be honest with everyone and the fact remains that this blog has very little readership and I doubt whether even my classmates have read the first post of this blog, kinda long and monotonous. In any case, my name is Karthik Hariharan and I am a student of the Post Graduate Diploma Course in Advertising Management course at Ad Club Madras. I am in the last two weeks of my class. It ends on March 13th.
I am clearly not sure whether I should happy or sad that the course is nearing its end. On one hand, I get to concentrate on my job and give it my full attention. On the other hand, I enjoy sitting at class and learning the finer points of advertising. To tell the truth, I do learn a lot at work and it is more practical. But the lecturers at Ad Club Madras also teach only from experiences and so surviving at work was pretty easy.
I must say, the one thing that they didn’t teach at class was how to manage time and how to prioritize my work. And I am still working on that. I work in an agency called Sreshta Communications and its not a very large agency and its not a small agency either. We have a very good clientele and I’ve learnt a lot working here.
Working in a medium sized agency has its advantages, everyone at work at pretty cool. Made faster friends faster than I could write the word on paper. More importantly, I was taken to client meetings and I was given work on the very first day. That’s very good considering the fact that I had no prior experience when I started working. But I will mouth off about this later.
The reason I started writing this post is that I’ve received a couple of mails from guys and girls who are interested in joining this course. Or rather, I’ve received one mail and one comment asking for help to join this course. I am not good at writing FAQs so any one who wants any queries answered, please mail me at hariharan_karthik@yahoo.com . You can also join my yahoo group at acmb15 . You can also call me at +91 9962003290 if you want to talk to me.
Cheers
Karthik
Global Warming – This is bull shit. You can’t feel warm once the polar ice caps have melted and you are dead cold under the ocean that has risen up and swallowed all land, can you? Besides, think of the positive stuff like how you don’t have to remember the names of all the oceans and continents. There’s just one big ocean.
A powerful image. Gets the point across.
This is a pretty old ad. But then again, all you people who ride your bikes without your helmets, start wearing them. You can also make them a style statement. I ll even put up some snazzy helmets you can get.
Funny yet hits the nail on the head.
Now, this is a really good use of a poem. Yet again, Funny and Educative.
One of the few times when statistics make really good sense and you have only one sentence to drive a point. Don’t we usually have a very long report to make the minutest of sense of a statistics table?

Happy Valentine’s Day
Hiya ppl,
I was listening to the radio on St Valentine’s Day and guess what I heard? One of the those stereotyped statements about how Valentine’s day was not about love between two people but it was about love between family members and friends and stuff like that.
Now what I am wondering is, if Valentine’s day is about love between family members and friends, then what the hell is Father’s day, Mother’s day and Friendship day all about. They all have their days don’t they? So why involve them during Valentine’s Day?
I am not trying to be a cynical young blooded punk by being pro-Valentine’s day guy and all but every one has their special day so let the boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives have one too.
Cheers
Karthik
P.S. I just put this pic cause i liked it. Kinda goes against what I just ranted about right now but still a nice picture and a good caption.
Time Friday, 30th January 2009
Location: “Sandesh” Hotel Savera,Dr. Radhakrishnan Salai,Mylapore, Chennai.
Event: Tea Party
Guest Speaker: Satish Kumar,
Managing Director, Henkel India Ltd.
Topic: Lessons from the Recession.
Outcome: A fantastic evening filled with facts, knowledge and information, meeting new people, previous lecturers and most importantly, students from the previous batches.
Now as a student from Ad Club Madras, I gotta tell you folks, when the Ad Club is throwing a tea party, they really know how to do it. The food is fantastic, it isn’t too heavy, it isn’t too light, it’s just right. There was Paav Bhaji and samosa, both were really good. Then we could choose between coffee and ice cream, and again, really good.
At about 06:55 pm, our President, Mr. Seshadri invited our guest, Mr. Satish Kumar and the former President, Mr. Jagannath Ramaswamy onto the dais. Then he gave a small prep talk as to what was going to happen through the evening. He introduced our guest and his accomplishments to us (which unfortunately was incomplete although Mr. Satish completed it for the listeners’ benefit).
Mr. Jagannath Ramaswamy, then requested Mr. Satish Kumar to give certificates and medals to the students of the previous batch. Mr. Venkat received the “Best Student of the Year” award and MR. Gyanamurthy, Ms. Vanitha and Mr. Arun won gold medals for their performance for the year 2007-2008. Mr. Venkat currently works at HDFC Bank and comes to Ad Club once in a while to give lectures on marketing. His classes are usually very informative and enjoyable.
Then Mr. Satish Kumar came up to the podium and told us how he was told it was only to be tea party and not a mini lecture. He, however, did talk on how the world was beset with the problem at hand and what could be done to cope with it. He also spoke at length on how it began or some of its root causes.
He also brought out how the industries could bring out the best during the recession. He conversed on the consequences of the depression, although he did apologize for projecting such a grim picture. He also enlightened us with his thoughts on how long the slow down would last.
When he completed his talk, a few questions were thrown at him which he answered with some thought. Afterwards, Mr. Seshadri gifted a memento to Mr. Satish Kumar and thanked him for enlightening the crowd. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening both informative and engaging, a combination which can be rarely had at a tea party.

Hi,
It’s been a long time since I posted last here and an even longer period since I wrote myself. Lots of things have happened over the past two to three months, many of which should have been on this blog the same day they happened but they have not only due to sheer procrastination.
I joined an advertising agency called Sreshta Communications as an Accounts Executive on the 12th of December. I’ve been keeping pretty busy but I sure can say, I always had the time to write and post. I am not going to blame my work, I’d rather take the blame myself, I’ve been pretty lazy when it came to blogging and now I am trying to change that.
So that’s one thing, me getting a job. Work’s been pretty much fun. I could use a lot of what I learnt in class in my work. I guess that’s only because I was taught by working professionals who weren’t teaching, rather telling us what was happening in agencies and what we should be wary about and stuff like that.
My birthday was on the 10th of December and the guys and girls here surprised me with a cake and we had a gala time. I ought to be honest with you people, this was the second surprise party in my life and the first one was the year before. The common thing between these two parties was that, these two were the only times I ever felt bashful and that’s something that rarely happens to me. Anyway, great party, loads of photos, so I’ll put them up soon.
Kiruba Shankar, one of our lecturers and founder of the Wikipedia Academy in Chennai had the academy inaugurated by none other than Jimmy Wales himself. But that bit was posted in the blog by a friend. So big thanks to Shiju for that.
We, at club planned and carried out a surprise party for him. Full details and pictures of the party will be posted here pretty soon.
Not to forget the great rains in December that completely flooded the city. I live near the beach and during one of these stormy nights, when it had stopped raining for a few minutes, I went to the beach to see what it was like and what I saw was amazing and frightening at the same time.
The sky was black (no surprises there), and sea was dark grey and it was churning like crazy. The whole water front was filled with some kind foam, the kind that you find in your washing machine if you put in an excess of detergent. The sea had cut into the beach forming mini lagoons. And the sea was spitting out all the garbage that we have been dumping into it. Reminded me of the phrase “Nature’s Fury”. Classes were cancelled for quite a few days then. I almost damaged my bike travelling to class in knee deep water. I was scared that the water would enter the engine or something like that cause the engine was almost submerged under water. Anyways, the ol’ boy survived.
I think that’s all I can remember for now so if I remember anything else, I’ll surely put it up. I hope I don’t stop posting for this blog until someone forces me to it. Finally, a very big Thank You to the guy who has made me start up writing here again when I stopped. What you did, meant a lot.
Karthik
