nice one. :-)

Thnx man!
Yeah, if Sahidali says nice one it must be good. But my inputs would be to show lower part of naked legs (gents) apart and the bucket on the lush green turf with all other things in the picture as above. It sounds humbug but it's a thought.

thanks mate.
on first reaction, i presume, the viewer will take the message with a smile. the ad 'humorously' requests the viewers to avoid the bad habit and not forcefully with poignant copies and messages. Whereas, in most of the cases, social awareness ads 'subliminally' rebukes/offends the viewer by indirectly saying u haven't done ur duty when it says 'xx million children could have been saved if u hadn't done this ' or don’t waste water …bla bla bla. In this case, the viewer has less opportunity to be 'offended'.
also, in this creative, the leaking bucket contains a very 'oriental' or 'subcontiental' humor. u may not relate the thing with the western culture and the day to day life. whereas in this subcontinent, whoever has grown up in a suburban setting must be acquainted with this leaking bucket problem. this thing connects.

Westerner here, I don't get this at all...

Good is the enemy of great.
I get it. My question is, are there enough public toilets in New Delhi, and are they clean enough to make using them every time a realistic option? If not, the communication is wasted, no matter how worthy or witty it is.
India needs to be awake for tjis they use roads instead of toiliets
