Koreans, gadgets, actresses

I enter into Oberoi's a couple of weeks back and as usual rushing to reach on time. I had to attend a Samsung press con and I was told that for a change this press con would start on time. Keeping an optimistic figure in mind I enter the place about 20 minutes late. Surprisingly the conference had already begun but I had no reasons to worry--they were playing some stupid video, which nobody was interested in.

So, I quietly locate a couple of fellow journalists and find myself a place to sit. After tolerating that horrendous video for another 15-20 minutes, a Korean guy takes the stage to give a presentation about Samsung's various products. It seemed like the English he was speaking was written in Korean. He took so much time to complete one sentence that he could've rather placed his speech on the projector-making it easier for the poor journalists to at least comprehend what he was trying to speak.

Samsung was launching its new range of LCD monitors and digital photo frames in the country and had invited the Sagarika Ghatke (Preeti Sabharwal of Chakde) to endorse the products. When they unveiled the product, there stood Ms Ghatke in some corner with the LCD monitors. The poor girl was soon cornered by all the koreans who wanted to be clicked with I wonder who--the monitors or the young lady. Amongst them all it was only the monitors that seemed worth clicking.

Anyways the 200 pound actress was not that bad to look at nor were the new monitors. So though I didn't get any interesting story from the conference I guess the drama that went on was a good stress buster.
