Jingle Bells I

Update: Keeping in mind the current nostalgic mood, I have cued the Jungle book track in the 'Now Playing' Section. Njoy!!!


My good friend Kusum wrote a post that somehow touched me in a very strange but likeable way. She wrote about some advertisements from the time long gone and forgotten, to some extent. When there was only one channel, and later two channels. Good old Doordarshan. I thought of writing about a few advertisements... E&OE (bhool chook leni deni)

Yeh bechaara kaam ke bojh ka maara hai.
Inhe chahiya Hamdard ka taanic,CINKARA


Pehla pyaar, laaye jeevan mein bahar, pehla pyaar
Jab tan se chuve, nayi baatein kahe
Pehla pyaar
JAI soap
tan man mehake aise pehla pyar ho jaise


Raju tumhare daat to motiyon jaise chamak rahe hain(which became a oft-repeated line whenever someone beamed a smile)
Kyu na ho masterji, main dabur ka laal dant manjan jo istemaal karta hun
Daanto ki kare hifazat moti sa chamkaye
DABUR LAAL DANTMANJAN se mujhda khil-khil jaaye

Washing powder NIRMA, Washing powder NIRMA
doodh si safedi nirma se aaye
Raaangeeen kapda bhi khilkhil jaaye
sabki pasand nirma
Washing powder NIRMA, Washing powder NIRMA
NIRMA


which was follwed later with a similar sounding ad when they launced the washing soap

NIRMA NIRMA
iske jhaaaaaag ne jaadu kar diya
paani mein rehkar bhi yeh kam galey
dheero kapde dhoye aur zyada chale
sabki pasand nirma
Washing powder NIRMA, Detergent tikiya NIRMA
NIRMA

Asrani- Aye bhai Raam laxman bulb dena
Viju Khote - Aisa koi bulb nahi aata
Asrani- Kaise dukaandaar hain ji aap. duniya bhar mein mashhuur, badhiya quality se ban hua bahut hi badhiya bulb hain woh
Viju K- LAXMAN SYLVANIA BULB chahiye aapko
Asrani- Haan haan wohi, lekin ek nahin cheh.
Viju K- Cheh?
Asrani- poore ghar ke badal daalungaa


Another ad about ECE bulbs-
Wife- Bhool na jaana! ECE bulb laana
Parsi Bawa - aye dikro bhoolto nahi. ECE bulb laaujo
Bhoolbe na nee sho bulb ECE bulb.
Ba ba ba ba bulb
Zyada de ujala deeno-din chalne wala
ECE bulb ECE tube

Girl on hoarding - Suno suno ae babuji ting ting ting ting kapde kyu hain maile dhule"
Dilip tahil- "maile??? maine to laundry mein dhulwayen the"
girl - "to kya ..zara thehro..farak dekh lo"
VIMAL washing powder


Another favorite

Couldnt stand the yucky smell of this soap.

Shopkeeper - Oho Deepkia ji, lijiye aapka sab saamaan taiyaar hain
Deepika- (Who played the role of Sita in Ramayan) Yeh nahi woh
S- Lekin aap to woh hamesha mehngi wali tikiya..
D- Leti thi. magar jab wahi quality, wahi safedi, wahi jhaag kam daamo mein mile, to koi yeh kyu le.. woh na le
S- maan gaye
D - Kise
S - aapki paarkhi nazar n NIRMA SUPER. Dono ko
Aapki paarki nazar line we used to much during teenage years among friends... no prizes for guessing kya parakhte the :P


Lift out of order. A young takes the stairs and starts panting soon after. An old guy takes over
Saath saal ke boodhe ya saath saal ke jawan???
Inki rag rag mein josh aur tandurusti ka raaz
ZANDU ka KESARI jEEVAN

Rug rug mein taakat jagaye.. takat jo jeena sikhaye

And while I am at Zandu

Murg Musallam, Tomato Soup, Matar Pulao, Maa ki Daal, Kheer aur Dum Aloooooooo
Har vyanjan swadisht banaaye, minton mein jhatpat pakaaye
HAWKINS HAWKINS HAWKINS Pressure Cooker!

I still use a Hawkins pressure cooker, brought from India, albeit only for boiling rice, daal & potatoes. No kheer, murg mussalam, dumalu etc :(

Yaad aa gaya mujhko guzraa zamana
khushboo bheeni bheeni. zayaka suhana
INDANA


yeh jawan dil yeh pal
laut ke na aayengey kal
rahon pe apni chalo

MAAAAAAAZA MAAAAAAAZA

One of my favorite drinks.

Bade pahiyon ki hain badi baat PANTHER PANTHER
in raston pe barso ka saath
bade bade pahiye hain iske badi hain iski baat
kaise bhi mushkil ho raste nahi koi dar ki baat...
(then they show panther next to a tractor... hehehe)
dekha iske bade pahiyon ka kamaal, yahan tak bhi le aaye


Kya hua..???
Bachhi ro rahi thi...
Woodwards de de. Wohi to mein tumhe deti thi jab tum choti thi....
WOODWARDS GRIPE WATER


Masti jab chaye
Aur kuch samajh na aaye
CRAX CRAX ho jaye!!

Don't tell me you neevr wore those rings in your fingers and then took the whole finger in your mouth to eat the Crax.

Kharish khujli ya ho daad
RINGCUTTER ko rakhna yaad
RINGCUTTER RINGCUTTER
Jagsonpal ka RINGCUTTER


Jo OK sabun se nahaye
kamal sa khil jaaye
some guy, realising in the bath - "Sachmuch kaafi bada hain"
OK nahane ka bada sabun!!!

We used OK soap when I was small and Mom used to cut the soap into two parts and gave it to us. Each one use their own soap. My sis, Kusum, used to always have ask for the part with K in it and just to piss her off I too asked for it which lead to sveral fights. :D

So jaa meri jaan, na kar maa ko pareshan
chodd tu rona ,bechain hona
apne baap par kar ehsaan
abhi na karna doosre ki baat
pyar ko chahiye KOHINOOR ka bharosemand saath
(This one had Raja bundela)


(Wild horse galloping)
MASTI ne banaya humein marzi ka maalik
jeevan ki baag-dor hamare haath mein aa gayi


More later...

Do you have Audio or Video for this jingle of Jai or Jay Soap ? I have looked everywhere but did not find it.

Pehla pyaar, laaye jeevan mein bahar, pehla pyaar
Jab tan se chuve, nayi baatein kahe
Pehla pyaar
JAI soap
tan man mehake aise pehla pyar ho jaise

It really brought back some memories, actually it is inevitable not to be nostalgic when hearing this.
