iPhone launch in India: A low-key event! 2008-08-23 14:54:00 Well, it had to happen, I had expected the same fate of iPhone
launch in India
since the day they announced the price for 8GB model as 31,000 & 16GB model as 36,000! Indian consumers were prepared and were willing to pay premium for a premium product like iPhone but premium as high as 4 times than its price in US? Isn’t it too high esp. when most of the consumers have easy access to US marke Read more:event
Phoonk Contest – Movie Promotion Strategy 2008-08-12 00:59:00 So, it was not hoax… This contest news started doing rounds in media somewhere in last week of July’08 and almost every publication including ET has covered it. But somehow I kept on thinking that it’s not real and is yet another scandalous strategy to promote the upcoming horror movie of Ram Gopal Verma – PHOONK. But well, I was wrong, it’s true that Ram Gopal Verma is running a “Dare Read more:Contest

"SLAP"stick comedy - Ugly Aur Pagli 2008-08-08 14:00:00 After liking “Pyaar Ke Side Effects” a lot by Pritish Nandy Communications starring Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat, I was eagerly waiting for next PNC release. Watched this movie last weekend and I think the only thing which makes sense about this movie is its name – UGLY aur PAGLI, rest everything is as insane as possible. Yeah the movie is sort of Ugly with those dirty scenes like Mallika

Death - so callous, so brutal 2008-06-17 23:41:00 I was out on an official tour to Mumbai and suddenly I get this call at 3 am in the morning…in that darkness of hotel room I further got psyched to see my mom’s name displayed on my cell! Zillion thoughts flashed through my mind in that fraction of second. Mom was not keeping well for past so many days, she was having very high BP and we all were insisting her so much to come and stay with any Read more:brutal

Big B has taken to blogging now!!! Well, we were aware of Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur and Aamir Khan being pro bloggers but now Amitabh Bachchan too. This is really surprising but what’s more surprising is the blog site which Mr. Bachchan has selected. Umm, his selection surely

Joker in the pack - Book Review 2008-01-11 08:09:00 Just finished reading this book yesterday. I had picked up this book while traveling at some airport. Well, the cover design as well as the line “An irreverent view of life at IIMs” were self explanatory & it was no-brainer to guess that its another one after “Five Point Someone”, “Mediocre but Arrogant”, “Anything for you ma’am”, “Above Average” etc etc. I still picked u Read more:Joker
