I opened word to type a new blog at 2AM. Its 3 now and I still don’t know what I am going to write. I guess the break from blogging has been too lengthy. I could think of several things including ‘rhymes management would sing’ :p, but nevertheless torture to the frequent readers of this […]

Sometimes the anomalies and opportunities presented by online advertising leave me surprised. One thing that I always question is why cant the online advertising make sense? Companies spend huge chunks of money placing their ads right behind customers mouse pointer. And the result? The online advertising becomes much more confusing than offline alternatives. If ad-clutter […]

After several days I went to TV room today. Needless to mention that I spent most my time watching ads on the box. That’s when I realized the change in most of the advertisements. First there was Avenger (ok, not exactly first) and then 2 other auto majors followed the suit with Maruti’s “Boondon mein […]

I came across this Bajaj Avenger DTS-i ad in TV while I was Delhi a couple of days back. I must say the ad is very well made. Being an ad fanatic I can see the commercial creating instant associations in anyone in bike riding age. The ad uses Leh backdrop with tough (off)roads which […]

Suddenly there was a lot of commotion. I opened my eyes and Pani is laughing in front of me. He insisted that I take out my bag as we are getting down the train. I looked out of the window only to find out that the train stopped in the middle of nowhere. Last thing […]

Last time I remember a mainline media house (be it TV, news paper, web) harping on about one news item from various angles in the first page/headlines was probably pokhran blast or wait.. was it CAT leak??? But it looks like mallika sherawat is the next happening thing to India. How else you can explain […]

Being the ad freak that I am, I spend most of the travel time gazing at the billboards inside/outside the local stations. Sometime back the idea of writing an article on these advertisements came to my mind. Here goes the implementation of the same. Spread the buzz! Zee – Bhaskar’s stable is trying to launch […]

On a dark night, I am sitting in my room with QT textwondering whether to learn T-Test or go out for a Tea Taste Tomorrow (or rather today) is the last day of mids. Got QT and OM exams. Sofar finished majority of QT. will go through OM once I comeback from T break. Actually […]

When i was a kid, i was fascinated by numbers. So much so that I used to top all the maths courses. Later during the engineering first year when I failed to add 2 matrices in the final exam I felt like suiciding. It was such a shame for me. All the penchant for numbers […]

You must be thinking “oh!, no not another how did I spend my day post”. Rest assured. This is not going to be one of them unless you closely look for the clues. But that way everything falls in the same line just like Keynes saying “In the long run, we all are dead” For […]

[PG Link] Before joining IIM Indore in July 2004 I have attended 9 real GD/PIs. I am able to convert 3 of them. There were lots of key takeaways from all these experiences. This post aims to throw some light in what works best in a GD/PI and what can make one a failure in […]

lo… here comes the post on how I spent the last 10 days. Just one word to summerize it all. WONDERFUL. I spent the first 5 days of vacation with my fiancee. We both had great time together roaming in Indore and eating out. Then I left to my hometown machilipatnam. I reached my place […]
