the 'art' of blogging..
so i know some of you whom I happened to mention about today's presentation would be interested in knowing how it went.
sample 1. as much as I''m flattered and the drawing is actually quite good, I'm just hoping the artist was a pure genius being able to draw in my pearls of wisdom whilst drawing a slightly exaggerated jawline in this little pencil painting.
the sad part? i never got to meet the artist. if he/she is reading this blog though, drop me a line ... a word of thanks is in order:)
moving on, the presentation went off pretty well and longer then expected. a first of sorts for me and certainly an in-depth look into the minds and workings of brand managers for some of the most well known fmcg products in the indian/global market today.....needless to say the entire 'blogging' discussion veered strategically and rapidly towards web based marketing and the possibility of organizations latching onto what is fast becoming a medium of great promise (with brand recall and mindshare achieving totally new levels).
Speaking on the same to this 50 odd strong group, I was undoubtedly providing insights not necesarily backed up the strongest 'blogger' statistics and the severe lack of such information available on the rapidly expanding indian blogposphere was evident. what is worth looking into however is learning from other economies that are utilizing this trend and converting it into an almost daily process. no longer are small businesses the key beneficiaries of singular and group based opinion sharing, multi-nationals are moving beyond the cliche of firing employees with blogs and stepping up to respectful relationships alongside blogs of note. 2 thumbs way up. A lot more for me to learn and consequently put into presentable formats for groups/audiences like this in the future.....
anyways, the questions and discussions during and post the discussion were insightful and i was pleased to note of atleast 3-4 active bloggers around. i am sure they will make for some interesting reading, so do drop me a line guys...
Many thanks to Nestle for the opportunity and the huge box of goodies I got post the presentation...I'm still to open the mammoth sized box but I'm sure itll be worth the wait.
and no, they arent sponsoring me to say that :D
on a completely different note, I have never in the past seen Delhi's skies look as beautiful as they have since my return from the land that redifinies beauty everyday (hoppschwitz)..
pristine blue
is it because you knew
that your first son
would return to you?
delhi o delhi
the gangster of cities
rule the northside
its time to get busy.

Congrats--sounds like it was fun! Definitely something new which is great.
I think Microsoft is the only company that does not monitor employee blogs which is great, because that really helps market the company with many day in the life of type testimonials...Cadbury has a blog on their website but Im sure that it goes through so many rounds of legal and compliance that it doesnt sound genuine. Atleast to me. Most companies will be too scared to get the employees to blog with no control but it could also be worth the risk.
The picture is great...what makes you think its exaggerated?

Backing you up on the beautiful skies.. maybe it's just because Beijing never had blue skies unless they were in a painting. Good to be back home! :)
