NOW I KNOW…….

By -

Wow it was such a deep sleep, I forgot about the needy and the weak. Now I know that situations make people change, root is a flower that disdains fame; We are living in soap bubbles, decorating our houses.

Now I know that thieves steal to pay for something else, The story starts with but ain't just about kicks, you can't keep crying for that which no longer exists , while the present is surrounded in a mist; Sometimes the best ain't good enough.

Now I know that I am gargling religion and drowning in hypocrisy, Am taught that striking at right moment is maturity, Am stuck in a traffic of responsibility, here love ain't meeting of souls but a control game; Am I becoming shock proof?

Now I know that diamonds are forever but beauty ain't; Lies are screaming but the truth is so faint, that violence is becoming a blame game; Will the real mahatma please stand up?

Now I know that house and home are not the same, the world has turned flat again; You can't ever go back home again, 'coz home is just a memory.

Now I know that I know it all, it's too late to realize, pride comes before fall, Am moving on the edge of the inner wheel aiming for the centre, It has been so many lives. Would I still be clothed if were invisible?

Now I know that honesty is hidden behind curtains of doctrine, innocence is the perfect cover for all sins; I want everything, but need nothing; We are run by fat politicians, their laziness our only disease. Why does politics exist?

Now I know that fear is stronger than the maker, that life is an elevator, A show run by an absent creator in a fuming theater; Manmade God is a mass-murderer Is fate a matter of faith?

Now I know that I am on a collapsing bridge, my friends on either side screaming to assist, Am I awake or still dreaming, do I know life or am still searching for its meaning?
Why don't I cry for help, why am I so numb, Is it done am I the one, or there is no one calling from either side, what is this voice? Oh no it's the noise, the bridge is falling. Here lies the society; Here lies the grave of religion, the tomb of reason, is this sepulture our world?

In peace; born still

Only thing that we are suppose to do in this life is to DIE. Cause everything else are choices with consequences - even breathing.

Few thoughts on New York Times article

By -
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

Notes on – Demo conference

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. " I think Kinect is a game changer and probably the most important hardware innovation of the decade. " Tablets are for consumption not for creation . " Agree but not entirely tr

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
