21st Century Fools

By -


  • those who are never on time but always in a hurry to close the elevator, even when they see someone sprinting towards them. These elevator nazis could’ve started early but they didn’t and now this 5 minute delay is sure to have an everlasting impact on their productivity and who knows even on their career

  • those who judge a movie’s worth by it’s box office collection in the first week - hey you know what Krrish 3 made 77 crores in first 3 days isn’t that awesome! I’m surely going this weekend.

  • those who think “Times of India” is a newspaper - wake up guys it’s a classified. BTW Times of India Student edition is a newspaper. Sadly students are the only ones reading it.

  • those who like their own status on facebook - WTF! Isnt that why you posted it!

  • those who abbreviate & hash their slangs - I don't see how “fuck you” is in any way less offensive (or less cute) than "f@#$ you"

  • those who overtake from left even when the driver’s side is traffic free - ass#$%s

  • those who use quotes & anecdotes to mask their idiocy (guilty as charged! - working on it)

  • those who talk about religious stuff on personal and what’s infinitely worse professional social networks - respect your religion guys but please keep it to yourself. I don’t care how just and loving your God is - though he’s my favorite superhero as well

  • those who get so worked up over gender equality that all their writing (sometimes speaking) becomes so androgynous that it leaves a bad taste for weeks. These morons are the reason why mint gum was invented.

  • those who always need a distraction - mobile, tv, iPad, books, music - these imbeciles are so high up in the food chain that if they miss an email, an sms or the latest episode of Big Boss- probability of World War 3 will increase by 90%. You are out with a friend 'cos you needed to unplug. Why check your phone every 10 mins - You a nitwit ?

  • those who think ADD/ ADHD/Bulimia/Anorexia is a disease - please call me and we’ll go on a tour of Uttar Pradesh and do an exercise in perspective

  • those who think that joining a political party's facebook group, lauding them for their great work and criticizing other parties will make any difference - Vote and till then shut the fuck up!

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

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
