No prizes for guessing! I am going to buy Bajaj Avenger in another 2-3 weeks time. After so much debate on to car or not to car I have finally leaned to the right and choosen this bike. I wanted to buy this one ever since I have been to Leh/Ladakh [click to read the […]

Today I ran a search in Del.icio.us for Infosys to get some information. What I saw in the results page is height of online anti-advertising. Generally you expect to see some ads related to the search tags. What you see here is on a different dimension altogether. When I clicked on the ad, it took […]

Saw this brillliantly executed interactive ad for promotion of laser eye treatment sometime back. It looks pretty much similar to online gambling/casino/Vi@gr@ ads where they make you shoot a duck, ball or something else and when you finally shoot they will direct you to their website which promotes something or other. You shoot the glasses […]

2 seconds, thats the time we generally spend on a print ad. For that matter I dont spend more than 10 mins in the monring to go through the news paper. Most of my reading is done from a blog reader in office during free time. When I go back home in the night, I […]

This is that of the year when a huge business would thrive. A conservative estimate of the size of that business would be 60 crores or more per year. And its none other than Indian MBA entrance exams and their coaching. The CAT notification is out and so are the notifications for other prominent schools. […]

I saw this superb ad while I was going in a ferrari (sorry, auto) in chennai. PS: I remade the ad using images in flickr, thanks to whoever is the original owner of the helmet and brain pics.

I just came out from the hangover of our farewell party (it happened day before yesterday).[Read the welcome party post] It started with a formal dinner hosted at Mashal. After the initial rounds of beer, kebabs, food and excessive consumption of vanilla icecream with chocolate sauce (stop cribbing, I am passionate about food :D) We […]

Came back from my last exam… The only thing left is placement, but I dont think they are a part of the package, so, I am declaring myself as a proud “pointy haried dilbert” 😀 (click on the button to start the movie)

Lately I have been attending campus pre-placement talks by various leading companies in India. It would suffice to say that I have attended over half-a-hundred presentations of companies “trying to sell themselves” to us. Some of them were really good, and then some of them are so pathetic that it made me feel sorry about […]

Last night while switching the channels I stopped quite sometime at the TVC/Tele-shopping infomercials in some channels. I thought to myself, why not do some research on this type of marketing. The result is this post. What is tele-shopping all about?In the words of Mehesh Panna, a country manager at TeleBrands, “The basic concept of […]

There are brands, and then there are brands, which make us look like the dumbest asses possible. The case in point – MTR foods Their latest television ads about MTR Upma make you feel like you have the IQ of a paper napkin. One of the ads go like this. There will be a bunch […]

Our management festival IRIS is what keeping me busy for the last few days. The event is going on really well. Last 2 days have been really hectic with really lots of work and almost a thousand phone calls. Will post a detailed update when I have the time and space. Till then, oh yeah, […]

Had loads of freetime today. So quenched the itch to change the template. I have been toying with the idea of having a left sidebar for quite sometime. For one the left sidebars give more ad revenue (researcg says that we tend to look at the left top of the window most of the time). […]

I always wanted to write about my hair and its adventures. There are two reasons for it,– I never know how much more time its going to last.– Dont bother! History of Human Hair: The story of hair dates back to Neanderthal man. Probably it was there before his times too. The point is not […]

baaah! I want an iShuffle. Lastnight I was searching for some ‘Chik’ shampoo advertisements in MagIndia and got one. But I needed installation of QuickTime for playing the ad. When I went to Apple’s website to download the player. I randomly clicked on the store section to findout how much it costs to buy an […]
