Ad Model :: Divya Parameshwar


Seeing the above photo, you would immediately remember the model who comes frequently in the Tamil ads; but you wouldn't be knowing her name. Even you would be very eager to know about her. Before writing this post, I had the same feeling as yours. Later, I googled and found her to be Divya Parameshwar, from Bangalore.

One of the blogs claim that she was the first runners-up in the 17th Miss India Worldwide. She is wearing her crown in the below picture (standing extreme left).


Hamam Soap
This was the first ad I had seen and was very much impressed with the "strict look" she makes at her daughter. Every time the ad goes, I would wait for the "strict look" and only then switch to the next channel. But, recently they have released a short-version and I am not at all satisfied.

3 Roses Tea
Later, I saw her in the 3 Roses Tea ad. This ad makes good use of the guy's absence of mind and later shows his increase in memory power after having the tea.




Rin vs Tide
This Rin ad makes a direct attack on its business rival Tide.

Sun DTH

MGM Dizee World

Anil Idly Maavu

Lion Dates Syrup
After a bit of youtubing, I found that she had done some ads which were broadcast a few months back and now off-the-shelf.

Aachi Masala

Dove Shampoo

Lalitha Jewellery

Rathna Stores

Some of her works include:
  • Ajinamoto
  • Prestige Mixer
  • Kohinoor Jasmine
  • Ashok TMT
and many more in Hindi and other regional languages.

After googling, you would realize there are lots of blogs about this beautiful model.

Now a days, I have started watching her ads instead of the TV programmes :-).

My experience during a meditation


From my previous post, you would know that I was very much interested in Isha Yoga and Meditation. After a bit of googling, I saw the above video and found it was the signature tune for Athanaikkum Aasaippadu. Later, I extracted the audio and loaded the song in my iPod Shuffle.

A few days back, at around 11:30 PM (midnight), it was very silent and I thought of doing meditation. I sat in my swivel chair and switched on the iPod. After closing my eyes, I felt the darkness as I started listening to the melodious tune. Even the fan's sound was not heard due to the ear phone. After a few seconds, I visualized the Dhyanalinga and immediately there was even more darkness. I was really surprised and couldn't belive myself that I got this wonderful feeling at the first instance.

After sometime, I felt like sweating and opened my eyes to find there was a power cut :-). Then I smiled at myself and hurriedly searched for my mobile phone. I left my room with the camera light and enjoyed the cool breeze outside the house.
