{Unearthed by Bhakti Doshi…. :) )
I read somewhere…BBC says, All species have a deep survival instinct. They do everything they can to secure their own survival chances. And that’s as true of humans as it is of the Siberian tiger or the lowliest of bacteria. We humans even have a name for our survival instinct: it’s called ’sustainable development’. Which means, quite simply, living on this planet as if we intended to go on living here forever.

whoever writes copy for harley,
should look up teh agency,
the video ad, and now this,
kick ass copy, will and should connect with any biker around the world,
About survival instinct may be it will help our species last a lil longer here,

Fat boy..haha, such an irreverent attitude to disturb a highly settled kinda existence. Thunderbird, that rock-solidly built machine for the tough n demanding roads, the ultimate benchmark ride for all men who aspire to be wondered at as the MACHO..the funny thing is that contrasting pic of Thunderbird in India that I came acrss more frequently, thin reed like men riding this beast
Karthik,
true…Harley, the iconic “cultish”, the anti-establishment brand and its classic communication have always been an inspiration for the mankind- the advertising fraternity (that I belong to) as well as the rest of the human world…trust me, I watch Hraley’s clips to gather or muster required doses of strength (latent/hidden in me) when the world around me becomes chaotically maddening
Kakinada is that little sleepy town where my childhood n youth memories stay…

@ thundebird, the reason u see thin men riding it is its the lightest from the Enfield stable,
it ain’t any where close to the machismo, this was their attempt to please the city riders, a great positioning and it clicked,
advertising fraternity, hmm let me guess, copy writer? or Visualizer?
I studied mass comm thinking I would get into advertising, but some how that didn’t happen, I still keep doing some funny freelance work, you can check it here, http://v.carbonmade.com
@Kakinada; I really liked it a lot, was there for sometime in childhood, and then again an year during 10+2, it was sudden shock moving to such a laid back place, but I completely enjoyed it,
can u share a lil more about your time there, where you studied,

“I am No genius a thing”
