DESCRIPTION: Wife is watching TV, husband comes and sits next o her and starts surfing channels. Wife stares at him, but we realize here are two different TV sets to entertain them. Cut to the man, reading a newspaper, while having breakfast; he gives two Rs.500 notes to his son, who is thrilled. When the man leaves for office, he is confused while deciding which scooter to take, as there are two of them parked outside his house. The VO then informs that with zero percent fuel surcharge on regular cashback offers, HSBC credit card helps one save money, so you can enjoy life. In the end, we observe the happy kid coming back home two cricket bats, leaving his mother perplexed.
