Swapna sundari wearing maxi

Guttural manly voice :

Swapna sundari wearing maxi

Getting out of a yellow taxi

Walks into a club

Paagal ho gaye sab

Surprisingly.. she chooses me.

Squeaky high pitched female voice

Is that a pen in your pocket mister?

Or are you .. just happy to see me ??...

Lexi pens, now, in every paacket in your city

Its one of the most cheesy and slimy piece of literature that I hv ever bothered to note down…………….for the un-informed it’s the jingle of the lexi pen add which is very often played on radio.
So, as I was saying, this jingle is absolutely mindless with the most gruesome effects done to the voice of the singers………who btw should have just killed themselves before doing such a crime. Lets thank god that a cheesy video was not made to be put on TV.

Now since I have bashed-up the jingle like crazy……….am sure that u must have assumed that I hate it…but wrong ur !!!!! I absolutely enjoy this mindless piece of shit for simply standing out of da rat race!! Also for the fact that this song has made me sit-up and take notice of it, lemme also add that it is the most “different” sounding jingle on air and definitely not the conventional jingle ever made.

The male voice is well………..male but with a very diff twist to it. I cant describe it but its diff…and I don’t quite mind it………….

The female voice on the other hand…………….is the most ingeniously done artwork. It stands out, it will stay with u for the day, irritate u da entire day, but u would still end up listening very intently to the jingle.

I absolutely enjoy the jingle…………………….but here is a conversation related to the jingle which I had enjoyed even more.

One day after college, I was graciously offered a lift home, which I gladly accepted. Just a few minutes into the journey this favorite jingle of mine started playing. We both listened to it very intently…………..and heres our conversation that followed…


P : Tell me what does maxi mean????

Me: kyu????……..abhi kyu sujha yeh???!!!

P : arre…is gane main hai na………….. “Swapna sundari wearing maxi”isliye pucha maine!!!

Me: ohh……………..
( I ws secretly praying to myself ki God plz……………….i dnt want to have a discussion on this topic now…..and especially not here………..god plzzzzz…..god

P: bol na………………

Me: hmmmmmmmmm…………………….
( I absolutelt want to avoid this topic………..so wht do I talk abt????……..plz dear gal think of a good topic fast and change it………………..jaldi soch………….)

Me: Sochne de……………………………
( plz………………god help me……………wht topic should I talk abt now…………..)

so I pretend to look out of the window. Suddenly the grillwallas, fruitwallas, vegetablewalla, ghas-pus, jhopadpatti all seem very very intresting to me…………..

Me: ( still thinking hard for a diversion, it must have made me look tht I ws stoned and there came da damn voice again………)

P: Arre……..bol na……….

Me: ( my stupid pea-sized brain desereted me……..so now I would hv to answer the damn qestion………how if could throw the person out and run frm here……….towards freedom from the question………so finally I answered…….)arre……….maxi essentially means a womens night-coat!!!!!!

Me: (just get satisfied wid this answer and end da damn topic………..or I would throw myself under the bus which is stuck in da traffic besides us……………….damn u man!!!! Why do ppl ask such uncomfortable question??? )

P: ohh….aisa kya!!!!!

Me: (plz shut up………………I cant take this anymore… and I think my answer is acceptable)

P: night coat matlab kya??????

Me: ( aab meri wicket udgaye……….aab sab explanation again…shit man……but its fine……….bol deti hu aur finish kar dalti hu……..yeh sab puchneko main hi mili kya !!!!! uuuufffff………..)

Me: arre…women’s night-coat essentially means the gown re… (Which females in Mumbai shamelessly wear while goin to buy veggies and all)

P: ohh………..


Me: ( aab toh chup raho………its too embarrassing man………….aise kya puchneka……how stupid!!!! )


A moment or two passes by very peacefully. I think that my latest answer has been very smoothly accepted without any hiccups……….so 3 cheers for me for surviving such a conversation.

P: par main hamesha se yeh sochta tha ki maxi matlab long skirt!!!

Me: ( arre…kahani main twist…..isko yeh kisne bataya…..all wrong info passed on!!! )
Arre nahi……..long skirt matlab midi………….

P: arre nahi………sun……long skirt matlab…………………… maxi

Midium length matlab……………… medi

A n d……….

Short skirt matlab………………….. mini

That was a killer of an answer. Mere muh pe yeh classic answer phek ke mara……….aisa lag raha tha……this answer ensured me a very good and a hearty laugh due to which I almost chocked up………I again turned my attention towards the grillwallas, fruitwallas, vegetablewalla, ghas-pus, jhopadpatti all of them again seemed very very intresting to me…………..but this time……………I was bursting with laughter!!!!
My friend’s simple and very clear logic had stumped me and left me laughing uncontrollabaly ………..on my self and also on all the stupid and pointless thoughts that were goin on in my head!!!!!

It again goes without saying that I have started enjoying this jingle even more. For the pure genius of making it the way it is and for the conversation that followed!!!!!
