Autistic Genius

Make way Prahlad Kakkar, Prasoon Joshi and Piyush Pandey, for a new marketing genius in town. His name is Khan.

No one in their wildest dreams could have come up with a marketing campaign to promote a film and pique interest in the movie even before the release. Right from getting frisked in US for being a muslim to the spat with Sena, he has either orchestrated it all or it is sheer coincidence and the stars are shining bright for his film to make these coincidences occur. The nation is sympathetic to him, angry with Sena and extremely curious to watch the film. Now maybe the film is really bad but by the time every one figures that out it would have made a killing at the box office. Sheer Genius!!!

Take a bow Philip Kotler and please include him in your next edition of your marketing bible.

He plays an autistic/asperger affected person in the film. Who is autistic I wonder.

Blogging

Why blogging is not sustainable over long term?
Because it is like going to the Gym. The novely wears off after a while. Unless you are a celebrity with a huge fan following and an OCD to write daily, mostly OCD, you will stop blogging after a while. Other things will take priority over writing for all part time writers. Many will attribute the lack to a writer's block but in reality it is the boredom which sets in after a while. Similar to going to a gym. The initial novelty and the adrenaline to see a well toned sculpted body which garners appreciative glances from people slowly starts wearing off as the sessions get tedious, the glances go down and the monotony sets in. Unless you are a celebrity who is required to look good as a part of the job or you are addicted to the adrenaline rush after a gym session, the frequency will reduce and ultimately stop. Same with blogging.
Show me a blogger who writes daily and I will show you hundreds who don't.

Eclipse

The world saw the longest Annular solar eclipse and won't see it for another 1,000 years. The moon covers sun incompletely making sun look like a ring and thereby plunging the world in a semi darkness state for a brief period. The semi darkness state lasted for 10 mins. Devout people did not eat, prayed like crazy and generally did everything to ward off evil spirits who come out during the eclipse. The eclipse lasted only 10 minutes and the sun came out in full glory but the people of this world are still living in the dark thinking a solar eclipse to be an evil event and dangerous to health contrary to the reality which is quite simple. Wish with the next eclipse the shadow of darkness over these devoted people minds is also lifted and they see such phenomenon as scientific rather than religious.
Time to come out of the shadows of superstitions. Time for the eclipse to lift.

Foolish

If you don't act foolish when you are young, you won't have anything to smile about when you are old.
Do something you think you might end up regretting in future. What do you achieve? Experience and lots of fun while doing it.
Once in a while, do something risque'. You might get surprised by the outcome.

In the near future

I'm back

I am hungry, to write more and it's a new year. So promise to write more often than the last few months. Promise to take up issues as innane as possible. Promise to write more random abstract stuff than imaginable and try to make sense out them. But most importantly, promise to write more.
All you faithful readers, wish you a very happy 2010. The world acording to Mayans is going to end in 2012 so my suggestion is to live it up. Throw caution to winds, make every day count, forget the past and make sure that each day u do something crazy to make the next three years fruitful, fun and happy.
And if 2012 turns out like Y2K, a damp squib, then count your blessings and enjoy your life that much more.
Revel in 2010, relish the joys and pleasures of life, drink in the moments and have a blast.

Another chance
