Coffee And Karma

मेरे कदमो के निशानो पे कोई निशान बना रहा है, जो धुन मेरे दिल में थी सदा, आज उसे कोई और गुनगुना रहा है.. mere kadmo ke nishaano pe, koi nishaan bana raha hai, jo dhun mere dil mein thi sada, aaj use koi aur gunguna raha hai.. जो पल मैंने जीए थे कल, उन्हें कोई और जीए जा रहा है, जो लकीरें मेरे हाथों में थी कभी, आज उन्हें कोई ओर लिखवा रहा है. jo pal maine jeeye they kal, unhe koi aur jeeye jaa raha hai, jo lakerein mere hathon mein thi kabhi , aaj unhein koi aur  likwa raha hai..

This one is from the Hindu. Commonwealth indeed has become a joke!

Recently, I have been watching this dance competition 'Chak Dhoom Dhoom' on TV, and I am mesmerized by seeing so much talent among age group 6-14. When I see these kids behaving maturely towards the judge's decision, while keeping the spirit of healthy competition, I feel we actually lose this spirit when we grow up. Also, the reason I connect with this show is that it reminds me of my B-school interview experience - same spirit of competition, the fact that you just have one chance to prove yourself, and having talent is not enough till you don't have luck as well. And the end result - selection or rejection - what matters is the way you deal with both (especially the latter). While flipping channels, I came across a similar show 'Little Masters' on same concept. Not to mention, the quality of this show is really low. The tactic of increasing TRP by showing parents crying, and over-reacting over rejection of child without considering the impression it can cre

Recently, I was trying to recall an advertisement in which a boy and an elephant share a relationship that 'grows deeper with time'. But, all I could remember was the story. What was the product? A network connection? Well, it was  IDBI Bank's  latest campaign. The screen space shared by products in advertisements has tremendously decreased. Advertisements, these days, have an abstract theme. They first create a need by emotionally connecting with the audience, and then introduce the product. They aim to reach the value-minded consumer with innovative and conceptual advertising executions. Remember the ad showing a number of dolls resembling women in different professions? How many of us could guess that the ad was about a hair product ( Livon )?  The recent  Cadbury  Eyebrows  Campaign (2009) launched in Britain is a fine example of the trend in the advertising industry we are talking about. The list, however, is not exhaustive. Nike's 'Failure' Campaign, Br

Heard this one in Season2 of HIMYM when Marshall and Lilly start talking again. Really touching lyrics, espcially: "but man, I loved yeah, I loved when I loved it was love it was love or at least, the closest I got"

Throw away the paper And throw away the mail Be bad if you wanna Be prepared to feel And all the expectations I will never meet Take you to the point Of never believing And you're tired of me Heard first time in HIMYM Season 2- Last episode when Ted and Robin break up.
