I am sure all of you must have watched this latest Tata Sky Ad 'Poochne mein kya jaata hai'
The ad put the reality in front us in a simple and beautiful manner. The ad is built on the premise of "ask, why not?". I am sure almost most of you must have liked the concept of the ad. The ad shot to fame immediately because everyone of us could relate ourselves to the ad.
As kids we always use to pester our parents and teachers with endless questions that were stupid but yet inquisitive. In fact sometimes we even left our parents and teachers speechless with our questions and our inquisitiveness. We believed in what they answered, we learnt by asking.
But 20 years later, now we don't ask questions.
In Classrooms, we think what if everyone thinks that my question is stupid and everyone starts laughing on me?
With Friends, we think, If I ask him/her what shall he think about me? He will think that I talk to him when I need help. He will think of me as dumb. He will think how insensitive I am.
With Someone we love, We don't ask them out because we think 'What if he/she tells me no?
In Office, We think, our bosses might think we are unqualified for our job?
While shopping, we don't ask about discounts, because it harms our image.
We hesitate to ask help from strangers, we hesitate to ask for lift, , we hesitate to ask for direction, we hesitate to ask for more, we hesitate to ASK. We all know this but still we hesitate. All of us face this syndrome. We just don't feel comfortable to ask.
Because of this we lose our friends, loved ones, money, time and many other important things of life which we would have enjoyed, had we ASKED. The ad showcases it is better to try and fail rather than failing to try. You never know when the lady luck smiles on you.
To be candid, I got the very thought about writing on this very topic when I was talking on phone for work related purpose to some one and I was hesitating to ask for help, but some how I did and the opposite person really helped me to come up with a brilliant plan. So it is a matter just trying to come out of your comfort zone and ask.
The other ad that perfectly answers the situation is Airtel's 'Barriers break when people talk'
Let the curiosity in us come to the surface, lets learn and lets ask..coz 'Poochne mein kya jaata hai'
