Ouch! Mia, mama!  Alas, am back to the scene! Anybody has got the balls?! Baby! Honey! Mine! On August, 2008 the creative director announced a “Save Tiger” – Campaign Contest 2008 for the creatives at id8labs – and they were divided in small teams – group leader, concept writer, copy writer, graphic designer and so on! And, my boys and girls did a brilliant job! The response and concepts were amazing! It was difficult to choose the top 3! And best of the best! And Mia, Mama! I was so emotional at that time!

Alas, the creative director managed to choose top 3 and one chosen one! It was first posted on cafeid8 on 20th September, 2008! Click here view the actual post!

Can it be a coincidence or inspiration or something else? Now in December, an agency in India, comes out with a similar concept for Sprouts! Mia! Only the one who gave this concept to them knows, how it came! Here is the explanation!

(Original concept first posted on 20th September, 2008 – top 2 by Pradeesh Gopalan of id8labs)

(Less original concept now released by an Indian Agency)

Baby, honey, little one, fairly unethical! You should be original at times! Desperation for awards shouldn’t be this high! Go get peace! And I’ll see you later all you my fans, lovers & bitches!

Love, kisses & peace! Here’s me signing off for now!

Calling all Indians!

Don’t keep mum! Don’t mince words; don’t be politically correct; don’t hold back! Just give voice to your feelings; express your angst; suggest constructive changes or be the change; simply speak your heart out and be a soldier in this war against Terror. 

Speak up for India on IndiaAtWar.com, an id8labs initiative. 

Remember, Every Word, Every Act, Every Indian counts!
 

Yes, this is to announce the launch of the brand new id8labs office! Yippie! Mia, mama! Am just shifted to our new labs, it's simply amazing! I couldn't resist and got you this first hand pictures of the happy people, just settled in the new building! I love the plush new office! What say you?????

The scientists are feeling happy! When Amit makes this gesture we are ready to bang on! Yet, we have some memories from the past, and here's how it's presented! Share your experiences, stories and so on, about our old office and culture there, and also the new things! Join Rodlie! There you go!

Remember those days?
By Rodlie

Wandering in the new corridors of our new hood
The experience has got us all glued
Staring and glaring at the smiling faces
Making gestures and exploring spaces

But remember those days?
That chai ka adda and Anna’s Lays
Those T3 mornings and our famous bakra’s
Treating and flirting with Ajit our chikna

The days of celebrating birthdays in T1
Walking in the mess and having Fun
Goofing with Lynette our loving receptionist
Man we are gonna miss her pretty face at the front desk ;)

The creative den named “Vedam”
and the opposite marketing Bungalow… the place with no name
the stray dogs whom we all scorned at
and the “birds” of that acting class whom we all longed for

Bid an Adieu to those priceless memories
And now we are here to build new stories
We are all under one roof and function as a one body of Mass
Lets get ready id8 to KICK SOME SERIOUS A**

Mia, mama! My fans, my lovers, my beloveds, I am back! I was hibernating! Many things happened at the shores of our labs! Right from the Diwali Traditional Celebration to few birthdays! Alas, now there wouldn't be that great excitement of Matrix-styled cakes flying on birthday in our hub! Here is a short picture story of the big events! I have missed you all a lot! Mia! Love! This is the first cut of the Traditional Celebrations!

And after all this action, Priya & Aijaz won! Here's the click! Life was changed for Aijaz, as partial credit of his glory also goes to Ms. Sheetal, who threw him back home when he dressed up in his normal "President-Elect"! India was calling him! Priya baby, you rock! My love to you sweetie!

And that's not all, the legendary Vishnu celebrated his birthday as well! Krupa falls in the same league! She shares her birthday with our great Sheetal Ji!! I was flying, I was busy watching the whole event so carefully and my papa-razio was busy with somebody else, so couldn't get that clicked, but it would remain deep inside the glory map!

Here you see; they don't have cake makeup anymore! Aakhir Mohit ki wish rang laayi! Mohit, please come down from the terrace, no need to harvest water anymore, honey you got a little tan standing 24/7 in sun! And filhaal, that's all from my desk, I am going to get you all the feed soon! Till then, love! Kisses! Chocolates!
