Going back to T Nagar!
I used to live in a place called Mambalam Road, which was once an integral part of a thriving industry. Film Hoardings.
There used to be two large players in this market with the largest being J P Krishna. Almost every single hoarding in the state for all large banners Tamil Film [...]
Building a social movement brand is an awesome experience as well a tiring one. Many such brands have been able to garner unconditional support in the recent past and some have even been able to get a lot of money pledged for the cause. Many times it depends on who is the man (or woman) [...]
Apparently the first video run on MTV was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. It was supposed to be a signal of times to come.

By no means is this a measure! But I find this pattern emerging. After all one of the largest population in the state of California is Indians, and we seem to be pushing them hard! Not just that! Despite poor connectivity, sad (well, almost sad!) state of telecom infrastructure, corrupt polity delaying opening up of [...]
Here’s the story on FB being adjudged the buzziest brand of the year both by the jury and by people through a voting mechanism. Congrats FB. Vodafone and Twitter have followed FB as the buzziest brands. Well, this is a sea change from the last year’s list.
