Jay's oeuvre: Persuadeeeeeeeee...

Persuadeeeeeeeee...
Monday, October 09, 2006

Persuasive communication started with a lot of hullaballoo... However, I am glad that its coming to end. Tomorrow I will be submitting my scrap book on persuasive illustrations in everyday life, I collected in last month.

For the Great Persuader .. we did our Gandhigiri. The season was on coz of lage rahe Munnabhai(carry on munnabhai). Funnily "it is" like a bit of the British carry on series as it follows the hit prequel(sans the sex and crap in it). It has been entered into the Oscar race not in the foreign film category but in the mainstream. That makes it three Indian films in this Oscars. Water by Deepa Mehta is Canada's entry. India's official entry is Rang de Basanti (Color me saffron).Whoaaa!! we had so many movies to chose from this time... That Omakara couldn't make it is so sad. :(

2 days back, Robbie had said he is gonna watch Munnabhai. :-?

We made a movie of Gandhi clippings ..Put in a lot of Persuasion theories in between and played his favorite songs flute version in the background.

[It was surprising, how much material we could collect from our batch mates and we always thought we don't respect him or ignore his ideas.]

We illustrated it with Scenes from Munnabhai.

Munna and circuit have become iconic. There are a lot of Munna-circuit jokes doing the rounds. Jokes arent as gr8 but they r sweet specially with Munna and circuit in mind.

MUNNA BHAI
Circuit, bole toh yeh Ford kya hai? (Circuit, what the fuck is this ford!!)
CIRCUIT
Bhai, gaadi hai. (Big bro, its vehicle)
MUNNA BHAI
Toh phir, yeh Oxford kya hai? (Then, what's oxford)
CIRCUIT
Bole toh, simple hai bhai, Ox mane Bael, Ford mane gaadi. Oxford bole toh Baelgaadi.(bole to, Its simple, its a bullock cart)
