Waqt aanay per behen bhai ban jaeen gay Teray husn ki kia taareef karoo?tera bander jaisa mu Teri zulfo ki kia tareef karoo?teray ek ek baal pe joon Mohabbat mujhay un jawano se hai Jo khatay peetay gharano se hain Aj bagh may kali hai, kal gulaab ho ga Mujh se shadi karlo,tum ko sawab ho ga Itnay dino se jalanay nahi aya Jalti hui aag ko bujhanay nahi aya Kehta tha saath jiyen gay saath marain gay Ab rooth gai hoon to ullu ka patha mananay bhi nahi aya.

Hi.. It has been a while since I increased the bytes in my blog. I shall blame it on something called writer’s block. Well, this time around the block has been too big, way too big. I have been working on breaking this block, but did not find enough gelatin sticks. Every writer, worth his salt, goes through this period of block… the key to overcome this is to hit the keyboard hard. Usually, most of us tend to use the ‘Backspace’ or the ‘Delete’ keys a lot, during this phase. Well, the other day someone asked me, how to make a kickass online campaign.

Creative + Account + Media + Analysis Creative: Let us be frank, everyone talks about a great creative. Especially when you are online, it is a great creative that will entice you towards what you need to communicate. Unlike the creatives of other media, on the online space, the creative can be interactive. You could have your...
