What an Idea Sir jee...................

Last Week I changed my mobile number from Vodafone to Idea Cellular. I was having trouble with Vodafone. I used to get 10-15 messages from builders regarding housing site available at the end of the world and 3 out of 5 calls to my Dad were ending up being void.  One of my room-mate told me about the great Corporate plans of Idea Cellular. I gave it a thought and checked out the plans.

Zeroed on a particular plan and got the connection. My room-mates to changed their network provider to Idea Cellular. I was not having any problem with network but my room-mate got pissed with it. His number was not reachable even in open spaces least to talk about lift. We thought it might be the issue with our mobile and exchanged it with each other. Result being the same, we decided to chuck it out and again I am using my Vodafone number.

During this time period, I have seen a lot of advertisement of Idea Cellular starring Abhishek Bachchan, saying "Get Idea". Every time the advertisement comes up at my television screen, I wonder why I got the idea to get Idea. It's like adding salt to injury and wounds.  Out of all the "Get Idea" ads the best was lift one.
Abhishek Bachchan in a lift with a person complaining about network unavailibility. Abhishek advices - "Get Idea". And here we were not reachable even in open space and grounds.

I really appreciate the creative team who had come up with those ads. Great work. What an Idea Sir Ji.
I got fooled. But that was not long-lasting. I switched to Vodafone again.

I here by apologies to all my friends and collegues for the inconvenience caused.
