Virgin mobile

Now a days, u surf channels n all u get are a dozen wacky adverts, the wackiest being Virgin mobile adverts .First one with dat young gurl doin something 'hatke' than the average teenager...telling her parents that shes not interested in boys. And this relle makes the viewers go " wat the hell !" ..and relle grips u for the first few times...and then starts the blame game between her parents allowing her a trip to Goa with her friends TenSingh (imagine tendulkars fine but tensingh ???) , the trip being labelled as "co curricular activities" by her father.
The second one is every ametuer riders imaginitive excuse at being caught for the first time..
having no money but a cell fone...his dada gves a damn n actually tells the cop to punish him harshly...but the poor cop..little did he know dat th 'father' was a teenage single guy with extra ordinary mimicry skills...
Virgin mobile is basically a UK based youth centric MVNO with about 15 million subscribers
and it has struck a deal with Tata teleservices through which it would get access to Indias network and could help TATA tel woth its customer service (call centres) and Virgin music!
Lets see if this is an new chapter in international companies tying up with Indian companies in the comm sector.
