Ads that brought tears to my eyes

We are so tied up with our life that sometimes certain things go unnoticed. Certain issues that would probably bring tears to your eyes. Thanks to these beautiful dvertisements that brings awareness about issues people either dont know about or know them but never realise the seriousness of it. The following advertisements are award winning ones that brings out the message bold and clear just the way ads are meant to do.

The first on the row is this - an ad ends as "how can you respect your nation when you cannot respect your national anthem" in the voice of Amitabh Bachan. The old handicapped man standing up when the radio plays Jana Gana mana, makes you cry. It did make me cry and remember my old school days where every day we were made to sing the anthem. But now we hardly hear or sing it. Yesterday i sang the anthem out loud and i cant tell you wht joy it brought. Try it, maybe this ad will inspire you to.



Now for the next one. Everytime we go to temple we pray god to give us more. Have we ever thanked god for giving us the beautiful eyes with which we can see the world, the wonderful nature, the colors,the faces of our loved ones. Honestly i never did, but after watching this ad i thought its time i start thanking god than asking him for more and i made a promise to myself to donate my eyes.
