Deccan Herald has launched a powerful campaign to revive its sinking sales with attractive hoardings all over the city. The one that caught my eye reads " A million trees bloom in Bangalore", in bold, big letters and below which a line that says " If it happens, we'll tell you". Pretty impressive one.
