The Taste of India, With MNC Labels

Revisiting my good old PG days. One of our lecturers used to give this example. Corn flakes VS Maggi. Why the maggi noodles is very famous and on contrary Corn flakes is not!?? Maggi was introduced as an Evening Food (as per Ads) or Snacks. Something, additional food to eat in Odd time. Soon, it’s a huge Hit. But, Kellogg’s corn flakes are not a good option for Breakfast. Coz, we need spicy, Spicy, Idli, Vada, Sambar, Bisi Bele bath, etc. This seems to be pretty true, coz after 14 years of Kellogg’s entry to India It still finding Difficult to enter Kitchens. I thank Kellogg’s for reminding nostalgic good old days, through its Aggressive ads.

Back to maggi, I have started mouth watering, in this pleasant evening. Maggi, an instant Noodle promoted as 2 minute maggi easy to prepare and Bonus Masala Flavor seems to hot favorite on Indian tongues. It’s the Indian tastes or Indian foods which are seen with MNC labels on the Food Items ranging from chips, to Chocolates, remember, Golgoppa Chocolates, Various variants of lays, kurkure, Bhelpuri chutney, and whole Kashmir to Kanyakumari ready to eat Packaged Foods. Its the different foods we find it across India. Recently, heard about Indian topping on Pizzas by a small time hotelier. Even the Big Pizza huts and Domino's to McDonald's have paneer tikka and other Indian Recipes. (Needless to say, Again mouth watering).

Finally, the moral of the story is Food habits hardly Change. I guess that was the point our professor wanted to convince. Pizza's and Burgers are only on Special Occasions (on dates, treats, etc.) or on bitti Sponsored occasions. By the way, can any one tell the best way to have cornflakes; is it before breakfast or after??

P.S. MY MUMBAI Trip was Great on the Special occasion, Its very Nice experience With one of the Greatest Star. I am not authorized to Reveal as of now, expect By weekend.

Yeno onthara.... Life Sucks!!!!!

Life Rocks!! Confused?? mee toooo... I have not used this blog like Private dairy(in public) just like some Western bloggers. Let me try Some words. Off late Life seems to be very Volatile, Just like the 30 odd index of Sensex. The Hectic schedule, Work Pressure, has ruled most of my life after i started earning! In between its gr8 to blog while sipping lime tea. Recently, i have Re-started to tune into FM. OHhh! its very nice. I like BIG FM (though i listen through Small Phone) 92.7. Naan deepu naanu kuda nim typu! Lot of repetative songs like Galipata, Nin indhale, Bindass, Etc. In between, add some Bonus of Bak Bak of RJ's with live callers and Traffic Updates. Nice to hear.
weekends seems to be gr8.

So, I feel Like Life has come Full Circle, In a place called Bengalooru.

Lagge Lagge... "Hrudaya"kke lagge

The new song which is buzzing me around is lagge lagge... from the movie Honganasu. The the golden Dream of Ratnaja of Nenapirali fame. Its awesome Photography in the exotic locations of shayadhri. Even in Nenapirali the locations were superb. The Same team of Nenapirali has come up with the new flick called Honganasu. Appearently some times it reminds me of gela gela... song. its not gela its lage lage... Yenjoy!!



Its very sad that the Golden Dream didnt turned into reality in Box office. It was turned down by the audiences for unnecessary dragging and an old type of story. Watever may be the Fate lets sing Lage lage..... sahyadhri ge lage..

Just 4 a "Change"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yaaawn!!!!!!! am Back!! Is this my blog?? ys it is!! Its new job altogether. Some changes, bit hectic. So blogging took back seat! Lot of changes around the world. Change is part of life. Jana change kelthare is old joke. So, just for a change, lets blog! Its a change of season. Change is expected in ones life. Expect the Unexpected in your life(Not movies). Change... change.. change.. me not conductor! There are more changes is females lives. Here am talking about Indian gals.

Its very inevident with the ones life. Its more in gals lives. Specially with the changes of post marriage. The new family, new place, new people, in some cases its new identity. Its the more demanding change, where the gals have to adopt the changes. Its part of life. So, for a change, the new Canara bank ad shows the Mother in law learns Daughter-in-law's language. The Theme is clear the Canara bank is changing with technology with new logo and new color. Its very interesting to see Sudha belavadi of mungaru male fame in a mother in law role who is always busy in learning Punjabi. Its day and night learning with words like "coffee badi chagi hai!"
"sasrikal" etc. etc. @last she nods for the Punjabi kudi and tells part of the family. Watta concept!! "together we can" thats the tagline. Its very interesting and and well Presented. Another Ad of Airtel is very interesting. Talk more and remove barriers is the message.

Some days ago UTI bank changed to Axis bank and it was Same-Same Ad featured all over the places were also interesting. Its some thing like Same same But Different. If you want more changes just for a change keep track of Sensex. If want more change and have money invest in it. So its Change ki kahani, Hamari Blog ki zubhani!!!!!!!! Shaba khair!

Every Child Is Special Declares Taare Zaameen Par

There is a Tie Between The Guru aamir and Darsheel. But, there is only one Prize. Its very difficult situation for Judges. Atlast Judges declares Ishaan AKA Darsheel as Winner. Thats the Scene From the Movie Taare zaameen Par. Even we Feel the Entire show has been stolen by Darsheel Safary. The Looks and Performance by young safary has outperformed the Guru Director and actor Aamir Khan. The Director Aamir khan has well performed especially in sentimental sequence. The Photography in panchkula is eye treat. The Melodious songs by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, and Inspirational Dialogues are icing on cake!!

Its the story of Ishaan. Who could be our own or Neighbouring Boy. Who is sweet and cute. But, asusual not good at studies and always get beatings from parents and Teachers. He has elder Brother who is good in studies and also in sports. Everyone compares both Brothers. One the other side, Our Ishaan always lost in his own world. He does Receives Sympathy from audiences whenever he is in Trouble. In the mid term, he is forced to an Boarding School. There the Art Guru finds the Problem and his talent of Ishaan. He Discovers, Ishaan is suffering from dyslexic! The symptom are difficulties in reading, writing and understanding letters, words and sentences. Then, finds the artist in Ishaan. He trains Ishaan to read and Write. Gradually, the Hand writing of ishaan Improves and will become Favurite to One and all!!!!!

It's an Heart Touching and Enlightening movie. Big Thanks To aamir for this marvellous Flick. This movie is really inspiring just like aamirs Previous Laagan, Recent Chak De. I urge everyone especially the managers to watch it. Who knows they may discover the Specialness in Employees. :-))

New Beginnings.......

I wish You all a very happy and prosperous new year 2008. Let all your wishes come alive in this New year.

I received an Interesting mail which wishes in more than 100 languages. N'Joy maadi!!!!!

One Night "Only" @ Call Center

I am back to Reading!! Thanks to My ex-boss for
lending Sidney seldom novel. Sidney seldom novels
are passe.Just like watching an movie. I had heard
about "one night @ call center" By chethan Bhagat
Recently.Also heard it will made into Movie! Having
Experience in BPO and Have seen Call center very closely,
so thats enough to Pick "One night at call center"at Recent Bangalore Book fair.

As the title tells, the story takes place in one night at call center
Plus the bonus flashback dates. Its the story of 6
individuals of an call center team, Written from off-Paper team
Leader Sham. It starts from Pick-Up of agents from
Delhi and each character is introduced. The author has
done good research on call center. so you find Lost sham, His
ex Girl friend Priyanka, The kool Vroom, The House
wife Radhika, the "belly ring" wanna be model Esha, and the
ex-military uncle. Each character has got its own
story. All are passing through Bad Phase. The Break up
between sham and priyanka and there past dates are
quite interesting. The moron cunning boss will
definitely reminds of your own boss if you are in
IT-BPO. All Characters are in Call center just to make
some quick bucks. There are some realistic facts.
The 2nd half is bit unrealistic and filmy. The
Blackmail Drama and the steps taken to increase the
calls are hard to believe.

Written in simple English. Nice to read once. And will
definitely watch the movie if made and get back here
same Place.
