So with the indian cricket team out of the world cup, many advertisers are at a loss regarding the “made for world cup” ads. Hockey is not saleable (basically Dhanraj Pillay and Gagan Ajit Singh don’t look good), and there is no other sport which has a nationwide following. So Ashwin suggests that the number [...]
Aadisht writes in: BTW I forwarded your cricket and hedging post to R who is putting jobhunt these days. Got this mail: Thanks folks.. I thought I must mention that when I had my interview with N, it went something like this: Me: I like markets a lotN: Do you find anything bad about markets?…The [...]
So, following Kumaranna’s promise in the ad earlier this month, Easy Auto has now got a website. It’s still under construction but it does look like Easy Auto will happen soon. I promise a post on how I think this should be implemented by the end of this weekend. PS: “Auto Raja group” sounds rocking! [...]
Check out this ad. It looks like they are taking some short term measures after all to improve Bangalore traffic. They say that these measures can be implemented in six months.

Yesterday I was telling that it takes a lot of balls to say “my part is clean. the mistake must be in your part”. He countered saying the opposite. That it takes a lot of balls to admit a mistake! My argument is that if I know it’s my mistake, it is easier for me [...]
Today, the Dhakkan Herald has written an editorial about IIM Placements. The amount of effort these newspapers take in dissecting IIM placements is hilarious, maybe even ridiculous! Journalists need to get paid better – else we’ll only find people who will write about crap like this! //
