Kavi expects this idea of branding water will not hold water!

And U K’s comment is precisely what I too felt after reading the article in Singapore Airlines. I tried explaining what ‘Fajilpana’ was to Kavi and must say I failed completely. Some words just cannot be translated!
Thanks for your comments
Vivek

My second reaction is still the same.

What would happen to…’watered down version’

or to ‘watering hole’

or to ‘fish out of water’

or to ‘come hell or high water’ !!

Because when water gets many kinds of positioning in the minds of people, it sure is going to take a different tone to decipher !

We just need to brand the water available at each railway station and we will truly have the widest set of branded water that blind tests and tastes different. Guess the fascination about water abroad is so because they drink so little of it. Water as water is consumed more in the developing countries and because it is such a common need it is not branded much.
