Only throws me a withering look, a suffering sigh. I know how much I annoy her, but I can’t help myself. Video distracts me. I need to pause the show now and then, and rewind a few seconds because I find myself trying to catch a detail that I missed1.https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_the_messenger_medium_and_message/Mon, 28 Dec 2020 12:25:02 +0530https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_the_messenger_medium_and_message/An odd thing occurred in 2020 among a great many other odd things when a jewellery company called Tanishq released an ad celebrating an Indian festival. The video tells the story of a family of Muslim faith, celebrating a Hindu festival for their daughter-in-law.
