First & Last Names

By -
One of my friends just changed his last name on orkut to “I hate girls” and i was completely zonked. I mean what in the world is he thinking about? As far back as I can remember, this guy was a “ really sentimental fall for all girls that talk to you & do nothing about it sort of a guy” . But what exactly happened? SO I read and re-read the last name and every time I read it I found an entirely new explanation for it!! The first and the most obvious explanation: Poor dude, became the fox who proclaimed grapes are sour… Got dumped by self imagined love of life and now is totally lost. Awe Shucks!!


After reading it a couple times more I thought don’t be so cold man .Being a guy you are totally disregarding the fact how guys think!!! It had to happen to somebody. I must confess anywhere you go and find guys in the age group of 20-30 they are breaking their heads over the same issue; from casual bar talks to serious drunk discussions if it’s a guy party one of the topics surely is,” waddya think she feels about me man?? I so wanna ___________________ . That’s it I can’t be more specific. Essentially the point I was trying to make was sometimes we tend to think a lot from the fairer sex’s point of view plainly ignoring some other very important but easily overlooked factors, something I was to realize when I read the I hate girls tagline Again.


So what else could be the reason for that?
Number 2 : HE wants attention.


Number 3: He is whining coz he can’t take being lonely anymore. Honestly who can?? So not his fault at all Poor guy is tensed and probably doesn’t get involved in too many “drunken discussions.


Number 4: Maybe he is suffering from the after effects of “gave my heart got dumped” syndrome. Which again might not be the poor guy’s fault! For girls or for that matter all of us tend to behave differently in different phases of our life. So school crushes are different from college hook ups to final year break ups to Back again first day in office crushes & so on…. 


There are loads of factors which decide who we are and what defines us? Most important ingredients of our personality don’t get decided so sooner in life. In fact, I believe they are not decided till 40s . Don’t know many people in 40s but I can be sure of 20s. Biology dominates 20s, economics dominates 30s politics dominates 40s and after that it’s SPRITUALITY & HISTORY.


Barring further deviation from the topic (Which I ain’t sure about anyway!) Why is this guy acting in this way?
I think its pure biology, man!!! So let’s not worry about last names and first names on a social networking website rather think about some other serious stuff.
Any suggestions…

Few thoughts on New York Times article

Brilliant article in New York times today: From 'End of History' Author, a Look at the Beginning and Middle Key points I found interesting : Institutions are the rules that coordinate social behavior. Without taking human behavior in account you misunderstand the nature of political institutions. Such behavior especially the faculty for creating rules are the basis for social institutions, even though the content of institutions is supplied by culture.   My take: This at a wider level relates to the three most important institutions in the 21 st   century; Religion, Financial system & Democracy. Same principle can be applied to the evolution of language.     Societies are not trapped by their past nor are they free in any given generation to remake themselves. Building institutions is as difficult as changing them. Poor countries remain poor because of the absence of a strong law.   My take: Even though we continue to criticize our system, what we must underst

Source: Meet Google's human search engine for innovation and www.demo.com There are several levels when we see companies: As partners – can they build applications on our platform & make the platform more valuable. Business development or licensing type of deal Acquisition Ventures – Find companies to invest in The sweet spot is mobile, location based services, social & e-commerce. " IBM, Digital, Sun, Apollo and Microsoft had their time. Now cloud based systems like Google, Facebook & others will have their time. It's a natural progression of business. Microsoft had a hell of run for 30 years. They're still a very powerful company. Very profitable, growing very well. So I wouldn't say they're going to go down; I would say the market has moved.

On Digital Marketing

By -
Being in digital marketing for the last 10 years, I get a lot of queries from fresh graduates on how to start their career in this domain. This post is for them. This is how I think about digital marketing.  The first step is to understand that digital marketing is not a radically new discipline but an extension of traditional marketing. The goal of marketing is to connect the sellers with the buyers and provide value to the buyer whilst making a profit for the seller. There are two major differences in traditional marketing(TM) and digital marketing(DM). 1. Reach 2. ROI With digital you can reach only a small % of the overall population as not everyone is on digital mediums viz. online, mobile & social networks.  For e.g. internet penetration in India is only 26%. So, if your Target Audience is digital only then can you expect to reach them via DM. To reach others you will need to use the traditional channels such as radio or TV. Measuring ROI is much simpler in d
