Seriously planning for Business 2008-06-22 04:22:00 I have been to Hyderabad a few days back to find out some details on the business that I was planning
about. I met a Hyderabadi friend of mine, Praveen (aka Gabbar-that's what IMTians call him). We had a deep discussion about the plans and finally set out towards Hyderabad Central. We were on our way to the Mall in a city bus when, some crazy and funny ideas struck our minds. Though we aren't seri Read more:Business

Values & Ethics in Business?? An absolute Bullshit 2008-06-14 02:26:00 "Who will remove garbage out of the dustbin daily? Why will he clean the drainage weekly? Will he do it for free saying that it is my duty to clean the drainage or the garbage? Where will the health department and the sales tax department go?

Cheers to Mr. Mallya 2008-05-10 22:14:00 There has been a huge uproar in the recent days about sacking the CEO of RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore). Some say that Vijay Mallya
should go back and just look at his liquor brands only and some even commented that Cricket is not that easy as you manage a liquor business or a company. Many experts feel that it isn't the mistake of the CEO if the boys don't play well. But I completely disagree Read more:Cheers
State owned Vs the Private companies 2008-04-19 01:09:00 I came across the line "BSNL losing 8% market share to private companies" on the e-paper yesterday. This reminded me of something that happened very recently and I said in my mind again "It's obvious and it should happen".It should happen not because I favor the private companies but, it should happen for those who cannot connect with their customers in the right way. It should happen for those wh Read more:Private

Where is Maharaja (Air India) going??? 2007-12-13 15:17:00 "Air India
is delighted in being invited to join Star Alliance" said V.Thulsidas,CMD-Air India. But, the passengers are not that delighted Mr.Thulsi. The reasons are obviously the deviation from the basics of Customer service.“Air India is delighted in being invited to join Star Alliance.

Fashion @ BIG BAZAAR!! ?? 2008-07-03 21:51:00 Munna is a bit stunned and has brought out some beautiful expressions on his face as if something happened to him which is the worst till date in the whole world. These expressions are almost similar to that of the Zimbabwean bowler Olonga who was hit from all angles to the boundary by Sachin. I am unable to control my emotions and just burst out laughing crazily.Praneeth(aka Munna aka Alludu) is Read more:Fashion
What an !dea? Seriously, a ****** !dea.. 2008-06-29 23:11:00 I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that point of time. I have gone mad for a minute or so.

Following & Connecting to your Customers 2008-07-11 23:05:00 When I saw the new post on the blog of cleartrip.com, I was a bit surprised about it's new offerings. I couldn't understand the logic behind it's new steps.

was never on my mind. At least not on the top 500 options during free time on my mind. But sometimes it just happens like that because, we get attracted at certain point of time and this can be called impulsive.I, along with Narayan my Mumbai flat mate decided to go to the gym from evening. As we entered the gym, I have seen Sonam working out with t Read more:customers
BSNL connection Vs i-ball laser precise mouse 2008-08-23 13:20:00 Can you guess the relationship between the above two brands... BSNL & i-ball. If you see the present ads from these brands it has been the same concept behind the Ads. The concept where a girl rejects a boy during the engagement because of the reasons that they don't have a BSNL Landline or they don't use i-ball mouse.Though it has been the same concept behind both the ads, the first seems to Read more:connection
Vodafone Mumbai... Happy to (not) help 2008-09-27 13:37:00 I strongly feel at times that "Happy
to not help" would suit better than the original tag for VodafoneMumbai
