Advertising copy is hyper floral anywhere! But we love to dress up everything with jewellery...we have an inbuilt love for intricate ornamentation. (now THAT was a good example.) We feel that the kernel, with all that dressing, will become a coconut.... I have some friends who specificaly ask me to write such flowery copy for their brochures. The last time I refused, some copywriter produced such ludicrous gems, that I don't say no any more! Deepa.
