bank taglines

Most banks in India have always had odd punch lines. Some are functional; many emotional. Some are good; many bad.

=>Some banks are nowhere in the league their taglines speak of
Karur Vysya Bank - Smart way to bank

=>Some have always banked on emotions to get people bank with them. Not necessarily with success.
Bank Of India - Relationsip Beyond Banking
Bank of Rajasthan - Together we prosper

=>Some use taglines which could mean nothing to the customers
Bank of Baroda - India's International bank

=>Some force-fit. They may mean, er, nothing again.
Canara bank - Serving to grow, growing to serve
Bank of Maharashtra - One family one bank
Vijaya Bank - A friend you can bank on
Nainital Bank - Banking with personal touch
Dena Bank - Trusted Family Bank

Nationalized Banks - have a strange way of putting things across.

=>Consider this
IndusInd Bank - Care at every stage of life; then changed it to "Dil Se", and current one is "we make you feel richer"
Consistently non-sensical (Dil Se? for a bank?? ; Make you feel richer; don't make you richer)

=>ICICI Bank - it was "hum hai na"; now it is "khayal aapka" - both emotional. They have used two superstars to be their brand ambassadors.

Honestly, not with much success. Anyone who has analyzed numbers of banks knows what I mean.

=>State bank of India - The nation banks on us.
They have 10k+ branches. And when they have government - the richest corporation - business as captive, they can claim that the nation banks with them.

=>Functional. And has lived up to it consistently.
HDFC Bank - We Understand Your World
Indeed!

Smile Train

Today i happened to read an article on SmileTrain in The Hindu.Smiletrain is a attempt of charity to increase awareness about cleft lip deformity .People with this deformity in India are considered as curse of God as the generally held belief is that it cant be cured.Though now it needs just a 45 min surgery that would cost 12000rs the lack of awareness and poverty prevalent in rural india has impeded the cure of this condtion and has ensured its prevalence in extreme rural pockets of the world .The aim of smiletrain is to educate local surgeons to perform the surgery and to create awareness. Almost 1100 hospitals in 77 countries with 170 from india have associated the campaign making it quite a successfull endeavour .
The surgical removal of cleft lip has a remarkable effect on the individuals life .It helps the person to overcome the social stigma and isolation originating out of it. The documentry
smile pinky which went on to win various awards shows how the life of a little girl changes after the surgical removal of her cleft lip,bringing a smile to her face.This attempt is a noble one and we should all support it as it is the least that we can do to bring a smile to a person
