It’s not “Ippadi Oru Vaazhvai Ninaithu Paarungal”, it is “Karpanai seidhu paarungal vor ulagathai….”…

As kaps rightly said, the ad appears in Vijay TV, Sun TV and more frequently in NDTV. It’s a prelude to their IPO of running these ads. I don’t understand the logic of running the ads in NDTV as it is predominantly watched by Northies and not by Southies

Especially the last line was too good. “Odessey Vazhkaiyin Salipai Kuraika”

It’s no longer near Krishna sweets, it’s further down the road, past Naidu Hall and iirc, before ‘nuts and spices’. And it’s not just in Adyar, they have one in Thiruvanmiyur and elsewhere.
Odyssey is no longer just a book store – I usually have a different strategy each time to escape from that sales girl, who stands near the entrance of their new adyar store, trying to persuade customers to try out the perfume and such.

They are blowing up money like anything. The same ad is running every day in Sun TV (non stop for the last 1 / 2 months). This is actually a promotion for their forthcoming IPO. In other words, the shareholders need to foot the bill

its a good ad, but the shop is very expensive. can buy the same books and items for cheaper price somewhere else. otherwise, go to odyssey just for the ac, like i do.
