One of the example of "Bad Landing page"

Below is the landing page from an email campaign, I tried clicking on each of the block there is no clickable link, after reading each line on the this page realized offer is only valid at stores.

One of the example of bad marketing strategy.

Test Post from Windows Live Writer

Was testing different application for blogging, and looks like Windows Live writer is every handy and easy to use.

However it takes longer time to download and install.

I was mainly looking for SharePoint blog where it makes user easy to blog as SharePoint is very slow in loading and pulling WebPages.

Have a first look of "Namma METRO" - Bangalore

You should have a look at these pictures of "Namma Metro", I would say you should visit location and feel how it looks like Metro in Bangalore, Its not just me who is so excited to see Metro but most of the people there are so much excited they are feeling it by sitting inside, taking pictures (Which i did of-course) touching it and trust me you should see people expressions and feel good to see people happy 

Namma Metro - Rocks !!!!

please feel free to drop comments on your views....

BSNL Internet Broadband SUCK....

Just have a look at the number I have started calling from morning to get my internet broadband working...and it’s still not working …

By the way I have already lodged my complaint through 18004241600 (One more twist here on the BSNL Website they have given the number as 16004241600 which never turns up as right number for broadband issues)

Once after complaint lodged no response from 2 days.

Someone from customer care tells to call - 26751111

Then again he gives another number after dialing couple of times - 26740400

Then again one more number - 26740300

Then after calling for 11 times in 1 hour I get the response Manjula madam is not in the seat..... Call after 1 hour

Then again after trying 8 times in 45 min I get a response "why don’t you come to office and talk with Manjula madam"... (Who the hell is this manjula!!!..... )

Later I got the number of manula madam :) I still not lost my hopes you see... - 20129532 - she is the one who manages 1000s of internet connection for faults... shoooot... one lady for whole lot of connections.

interesting thing now when I get to call manjula madam - listen to her response ..."I cannot fix it today, as I was in your area till now and right now I am far away from office and your area I cannot come back again" I politely response I can pick you and drop to the same place once my internet got fixed or please arrange for any other alternate person who I can pick him up for fix.. ... She hangs up the phone....

Again after calling several time for exchange... i have received higher authority number this time its Gayathi madam ... :)... - 26749193

She said there are 2 lines one cannot be fixed and other I need to give a try and she took my number saying she will call me back... till now no reponse.........

Jai BSNL ...Mera Bharat Mahan ... (It happens only in India)

Reason to Smile - Appriciate the work and each other ... Keep Smiling

There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance...

There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance - Azim Premji

I was reading to a mail forwarded by my colleague about Inspiring excerpts from the address by Azim Premji , founder, Wipro , at IIT Delhi's convocation ceremony

I liked his lessen #4:

Lesson 4: Nothing fails like success
The fourth lesson I have learnt is the importance of humility. There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance. Confident people are always open to learn. A recent survey of executives in Europe showed that the single most important quality needed for leadership success was the willingness to learn from any situation. Arrogance on the other hand stops learning. It comes with a feeling that one knows all that needs to be known and has done all that needs to be done.


This really really make sense, comes very handy in the corporate world.

Cheers,

I Wish Everyone a Very Happy New Year....

Kannada Barutha?? (ಕನ್ನದ ಬರುಥ) ಮತ್ತೆ ಎನ್ನ್ರೀ ದಾಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲಿ ಮತದೊಕೀ ?

Aaaah! I am most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops".

"Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh or central 'talkies'. Today's Bangalore is deluged in traffic, stress and pressure, Saturday nights without beer is desolate and a Sunday without a visit to either a nearest spa or health clinic is schlocky!!

The gandhibazar's are now AC cooled super markets, majestic is now replaced by ultra modern and diversified Brigade road, sri cauvery coffee joint is now Coffee days.. and "Bhagyalakshmi coffee adda.. is now barista. With globalisation and more retail market the city will definitely see more forceful changes.

Have all these changed our language? Kannada the local language of Bangalore is supposed to be one of the most meaningful language, it also

has an unique script as compared to its other counterparts; but how many percentage of people really use Kannada in Bangalore now? The figures are staggering, only 37% of people speak kannada in the state's capital, for rest it is only "Kannada barutha?"

Any normal guy starts with this sentence "Kannada barutha?" while talking to other person, people confirm before they speak the language. You want to ask an address in Bangalore? Or reply to a question then English is the most preferred language other than Hindi.. It's a famous fact that two kannidagas in an IT company always talk in a neutral language!! even the vendors and shop keepers are channeled with this new wave, the moment when you step in any shop in Bangalore , you are always asked "Kannada barutha?" or the entire conversation takes place in non kannada languages. People have lost the confidence of speaking in the local language and more over speaking Kannada on the streets of "M.G road "or "kormangala" is substandard.

Shopping malls in the city have been completely banned from using Kannada, not a forced one but definitely an adapted one. One has to confirm that the other person knows the language before he starts using any language. "ondu glass beer" is a insult when it comes to any decorous pub in Bangalore . "Swalpa menu card kodthira..??" has been replaced by "Can I have the menu card please...?"

Just to hit some facts, marathi is still the largest and common speaking language in mumbai even though mumbai has the highest no of inhabitants. Telugu is a practised ritual in yet another IT HUB Hyderabad. When it comes to tamil nadu, beware you can be alive either if you are a fan of rajnikanth or you know tamil.. Malyalam runs in the blood of every mallu be it Kuwait , dubai or any hospital; but when it comes to kannada it is always "kannada barutha?" and next is "namaskara."

I am neither a Kannada activist nor do I run any Kannada supporting organization, I am just a plebeian who just love the language.

Globalisation is the trend and modernisation is the mantra but at the cost of the language? Sounds no logic.. Is speaking kannada down market? The answer has to be found within oneself. Next time when you hear "kannada barutha?" you just remember that "kannada runs in your blood.."

Instead of forwarding other unwanted mails, forward this to your friends. Make everybody aware.

My New interest - ECONOMICS, FINANCE, SHARES, STOCKS ALL ABOUT MONEY ;-)

I still remember the days i used to spend in one my uncles (Dr GM Kudari, He is a well known cardiologist in Mysore) place one of the best time i had, I had no other work there other then watching TV, cooking and reading newspapers i enjoyed all the tree.

My uncle used to read many newspapers one in which he used spend lot of time is "The Economic Times" I used to wonder why he would read so much in that paper where there is no good photos and news, cos my favorite section in news paper is "Bangalore Times" (An additional attach comes with "Times of India") cos i love to read and see bollywood news

This was the short story back in 1994 - 1996 (times of my 12th standard)

Recently, there is so much of talks about recession, economy slow down, US markets, BSE Sensex (Down to 8+ thousands), NSE, GDP Etc. Etc

Talks like, Sensex is going down and down day by day and it might reach as below 6k, GDP is raising all time high, people of lost crores of rupees in stock market, and more importantly one of my friend lost a nominal big amount in share trading - these multiple hits of those news created some sort of curiosity to know about whats these all about.

I think this is the transformation stage where I myself created so much curious to know about it more and more.

I quickly got one trading account from Karvy (www.karvyonline.com)

Well, It does helps in many ways, keep track of economy not only India but also US, cos whenever there is drop in US Market next day you see the same down trend in India Stock market.

Anyways Now i am newbie in this field and so excited to learn and know and ultimately make money out of it..

My logic is quite simple, if you open and FD (Fixed Deposit) Account max you might get 10% for 365 days, in the worst case i would be expecting to make 10% of invested money in 1 year.

To be honest i strongly anticipate you will definitely can make your money group much more in the shorter period, keep in mind you should have patience and place your money smartly.

As I said above heir no harm for 10% of your invested money for sure if you invest for long term.

Invest Carefully, Start with Less do not hurry, take decision wisely.

Do not dream for big, Go Steady..

Happy Trading..

Cheers and keep rocking and keep making money its all Business EOD
