Recently I read Jay Boll's blog on the experiences of him and his daughter who fought her mental health disability and is now studying at a college. The article is very inspiring to say the least.

the link is given below  my comments posted therein. Do read his blog and circulate to all.

It is really inspiring to learn that an Indian Swami and other things Indian were able to  change the world of a human sufferer - hats off to the girl who was able to retrieve herself from the difficulty and also to the parents who enabled it.
Very good piece worth recirculating through the depressed world.

misuse of quants -lifebuoy ad

I like to bring up this blatant misuse of quant figures in an ad to dupe the customer. the recent lifebuoy ad talks about implementing a change in attitude of people by making them use the soap and get health benefits. the ad is using apparently inflated quantities since it talks about having dealt with 2000 families in two tall, skyscraper buildings. as all of us are aware, skyscrapers have not reached more than 30 stories in India and considering this to be the upper limit my logic works like this. how many families can a 30-story building accommodate? according to me, at an average of 4 or 5, it cant be more than 500 considering say 4 flats on each floor. if you take into account the fact that most of the tall buildings are in posh localities and middle class people cant afford to live in these skyhigh buildings. moreover,with rich people staying there, these buildings are not likely to have more than 4 flats on each floor. hence according to me the ad's use of quants falls f

Beware Idea ad - mind your health & safety

The advertisers should give more heed to their ethical social responsibilities, while releasing ads.
