Last night I watched Chak De! India. Although you know early on that being a Hindi movie, the Indian team HAS to win - its the journey which really keeps you hooked. GO WATCH THIS ONE! I think Nirav took some excellent learnings from the movie and I think one of the big learning which… Continue reading thoughts from Chak De India

A little gift
A little gift I got from office last week ... I love this one!
How the little branding matters
I was at Bangkok airport's duty free shopping browsing the Mont Blanc showroom. I see this potential customer walking and asking for some supplies. The attendant brings it in and the customer confirms the purchase. When the attendant presents the charge slip to the customer to sign, the customer notices that it's a cheap ball… Continue reading How the little branding matters
Back from holiday
Nitika and I had a wonderful holiday in Singapore, Bangkok and Hua Hin (a beach resort off Bangkok). This has been a wonderful trip, I have written a lot and captured some lovely shots. Sharing a few quick photos which caught my attention tonight, but hope to sort them all over the week and share… Continue reading Back from holiday
Off for a holiday
The upgrade requests have been sent, the camera memory cleaned up, shopping list tucked into the wallet and work issues washed off the brains. We are all set for a 10 day holiday in Singapore, Bangkok and Hua Hin (an island off Bangkok). Look forward to some great relaxation moments, a bit of shopping in… Continue reading Off for a holiday
Restaurant Review: “Village”
Last weekend we had a family dinner at a restaurant called "Village". This is a rather interesting and unique concept place located in Raghuleela mall at Kandivali (west).

I've been thinking on how Pownce and Twitter can be used differently or will they be serving the same purpose. And I think the query was very well answered by this message of aalaap on pownce: Twitter is more about what you're doing at the moment, as opposed to Pownce, which is more of a… Continue reading Pownce and Twitter – The difference

If you browse the interesting photos at flickr! you'll be amazed at some of the most beautiful shots which people capture and share online. It's amazing I must say. You could spend hours browsing through because there is an update daily. But then who has so much of free time on hand, right? So, I… Continue reading Beauty of flickr on your computer
My pick from the Cannes 2007 films
A real good soul in office downloaded (almost) all the winning entries at Cannes 2007. The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival (IAF) is generally regarded as the most prestigious international advertising festival. Over the last few days I reviewed the films and some of them truly amazed me. My favourites: Power of wind - bringing… Continue reading My pick from the Cannes 2007 films
In-film branding in 1984
Last night I happened to catch a little bit of a movie called Dhokebaaz. This was a big star movie with Shatrughan Sinha, Amjad Khan & Vidya Sinha but a few minutes of the movie was enough to predict the "predictble of typical hindi movies". Anyways, there was something interesting in the movie which made… Continue reading In-film branding in 1984
