Switchin' On

I am also known as: Bijli Anna, Biju Boss, and Bulb Bhai. What's in a name? Call me whatever you feel like calling me. I am known by my kaam, not naam.

I am from this university town in Karnataka called 'Mania-pal' and I LOVE expressing myself out loud. I shall say what-I-want because I can

I have been chosen as the mascot for Article 19, a communication festival hosted by Manipal Institute of Communication.

I promise to turn you on (pun intended) with my electrifying talk. I will tell you about this crazy festival from now on. Just doin' my job, am the mascot after all. Bijlee shining ;) Get ready to be shocked!

  6. This is not even remotely funny!!

    A creative institute…known for its talent, is using the infamous n overly abused ‘BULB’ as its mascot for A19.
    Wow.
    How original (not!)

    And you’ll r supposed to be future writers, ad-men, visualizers etc.

  7. Oh, it still got you to *express* *something*. That too, you took the pain of making a google ID and creating a Blog on blogger just to comment! (we saw the date when u created the Blogger profile) Bravo! We like the spirit!

    Humor yourself with your comments, and try commenting with your real ID :P

    Till then, go on Bijlee Bhai. A19 will rock this year, like never before! :)

  9. hey whatever.. 'bulb' kisko bola be? my name is mister bijlee.. do one thing, go read about 'power off for an hour' on www.article-19.com to know why I 'm here.. :p

    ReplyDelete
  10. hahahahaha i seem to be more interesting to you all than ur BULB.
    if only you guys used all this time and attention to think of more creative ideas.

    How does it matter if I created my ID today or 3 yrs ago?
    That shouldn't irk u.
    What should is the fact that I DO KNO BOUT POWER OFF FOR AN HOUR. so??
    Y would A19 need a mascot that's significant to another cause? It's just an easy way out…of using the same icon/logo/symbol everywhere.

    And have the guts to admit it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Ok, admitted. Cool?

    It does not irk me that u created the ID today just to comment here anonymously, makes me think how irked you are that u are doing it. :)

    Lets get on with more important and less irritating things in hand. :)

    Temme 'whatever', what do you do? Are you a student? Were you a student? Interested in sending some entries? Or do you work? Films, media? or is it, PR? We have place for all you people... We are getting better this year, you know. :)

  12. Mr. Whatever, I think it is you who needs to have the guts to appreciate a step in the right direction....It seems so cowardly to create a fake ID and comment with a motive to discourage.
    If you are soooo interested in helping us out, why are you afraid of disclosing your identity??? You have to hide your identity only when you are afraid of what you are doing or are not sure if what you are saying is right or not....
    Why does it bother you if one good cause leads to another good cause on its way???

  13. Ah Chill ShivSunny, we see jerks like him all the time. But they are our guest baba, we like them. See how freely they are erxpressing themselves! That is our idea, is it not? Mr Whatever, tum banaye rakho yaar, tum ham logon ko bahut pasand ho. And you are (or were) an MICian at that, killer! We are so proud of you!

    ReplyDelete

    mission accomplished.
    congrats!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Ah, of course, we accomplished what we want when he commented the first time only. Publicity and Expression are two pillars we stand on, he succumbed to both. We work in ishtyle, MICian ishtyle. :P

    ReplyDelete

  21. You know what, I HAVE AN IDEA (As always, ;) )

    Guess who ll win this time? :P

    Whatever Bhai, bas aate hi limelight le liya aapne.... Thoda hamare bijlee bhaiya ke liye bhi chod do yaar...:P

  22. No I don't know if it's going to be better. That's what you claim. Let's see.
    I'm not irked… just sad to see brains (some of which you are trying to project here) not being used where they actually should be.
    I'm not looking for a tête-à-tête with you. If I was, you'd find the answers to all your questions in my profile.
    Thought criticism would be used constructively, not destructively.
    Anyway, all the best. If this blog is still here once the fest is over, you'll be hearing my kudos or otherwise.

    Relax all u other smarty pants.
    There's no need to follow the leader always.
    Whoever said anything about me being an MICian?
    Assuming things doesn't show too nicely on a bulb.

  23. @ whatevr: u know things dont always have to be different , in order to be creative. So what if it may be a repeated concept? A majority of the times,its the building of an idea that matters. We liked it, we thought it suited the fest, we kept it. simple.Oh and we also appreciate ur views.

    " Assuming things doesn't show too nicely on a bulb"

    See you have already started to have a liking for our mascot! good job

    Oh and as for your sadness, please do attend the fest! We'll definitly cheer u up! :)

    @ Bijli: I am glad you have finally realized ur inner self hehe if you know what I mean !

  24. @whatever

    now we will not be judgemental about you, anymore.. love is all we need.. let there be love, and peace..

    @others

  35. @whatever

    Your 'constructive' criticism is most welcome, but please make sure you include some feasible advice in your comments as well, that would really be of some help to us. :)

    @Arse
    We are still under development, and there are many 'brilliant' ideas on the pipeline, you just need to check back in a few days ;)
