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) [...]
So, we have the next interview lined up. Some people may not be able to accept ‘interviews’ in a blogathon. After all, I am supposed to write. Well, interviews are not easy either. It requires work (some, if not hard). The thought of asking a stupid question to a specialist will always play on anyone’s mind. [...]
Back in 1996, when I was working with Tata Press Limited, I happened to experience my FIRST flight journey. A bit of a background! I was among the top two sales persons in Chennai branch and was selected owing to my knowledge and interest towards printing as a subject. The job was to travel with [...]

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

Web 2.0 is [...]
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 [...]
My colleague on this blog Mr. Karthik Kumar had written about how current marketers ‘misuse’ online advertising and hence squander a fantastic opportunity to engage the customer.
I follow Mr. Anand Mahindra on Twitter (@anandmahindra), and I would like to share one of his tweets with you. Pardon me Mr. Mahindra for a minor ‘copyright violation’! [...]
In recent times many advertisers who have been advertising offline are getting online. One would think that hosannas would be called for. Alas, the lack of intelligence on display in advertising online, is a poor advertisement for online advertising!
At its worst, this new breed of online advertisers seem to see online advertising as one would a hoarding – [...]
