Been thinking of doing this post for a very long time. A lot of what I type here has come through observation, interacting with youth and lot also through reading, watching movies, commercials, ads… Most of it is all there and I probably wont be adding anything new… it is just my perspective Every time [...]

Two technology trends in three days are indicative of how technology is going to polarize how we are going to communicate or wish to communicate in the future. And a pat on my back for having predicted the trends a year and half back. First of course is the big news about facebook and their [...]

yes this is the post number 100!! I guess it is a huge achievement for me. In the past too I had started blogs but never went beyond couple of posts so reaching the three digits is a big surprise. To a regular blogger perhaps it is not big deal. Seth Godin writes one everyday… [...]
No. 2 – Life in the Blue Nowhere
Posted: September 20, 2010 in Social MediaTags: advertising, marketing, Social Media, youth
So it was a tough choice to figure what should rank as my second best post in the top 5. Should it be the post I had about Sachin Tendulkar? Should it be about data security in Broken Window? Should be about treating everyone equally in Everybody counts or nobody counts? However given the relevance to [...]
No. 3 – Privacy would be a new luxury
Posted: September 18, 2010 in Advertising & Marketing, Social MediaSo this is the post I have decided would be the number 3 in my top 5.

So the following is my first post on wordpress. It was in April 2009. And the reason it features in top 5… well because it was the very first one. And also it probably set the trend for me to grumble about all thing social media. Or to rephrase.. just grumble about everything… As an [...]
Read in the paper today about PC (Priyanka Chopra) being back in Mumbai. And how she kept her fans(?) informed about Pondicherry and how her bags were packed and how she was happy to be back in Mumbai. And the point of all this is?? Another one – RGV (Ram Gopal Verma) complimenting KJo (Karan [...]
Does it really matter?

So yet again media created the hype and then moved on. The whatshisname ex cop who was the breaking news or the unbreaking news has disappeared from the pages of the newspapers and from the channels. I don’t remember his name and I bet many others also do not remember. Shiv Sena got some mileage [...]

It has been a while that I have posted anything. Work pressures and many other pressures. Been meaning to write this one for quite sometime now. Read this book called “The Broken Window” by an author who is soon turning into one of my favorites – Mr Jeffrey Deavers. At one level it is a [...]
Privacy would soon be a new luxury

Luxury products are usually very expensive and affordable by a very few… the reason they are luxury and command a premium. The way the world is going… soon there will be a new product which is going to be the ultimate luxury. And it is called privacy. In the age of information explosion (and we [...]
