#BlastFromThePast is Storyboard18’s weekly column where we ask young creative professionals to pick old ads that they replay time and again, spots that give them writing inspiration, and commercials that never get old. This week Rahul Arcot, group creative director, DDB Mudra, shared notes from his all time favourite ad playlist.

Starring an unreliable Granny, this one never gets old.
