Hi friends .... quite some time that i have posted something .... heres something .... the Paradox of Life ..... ... The comedy of tragedy of our dead lives ... The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

HM- Hiring MBAs as analysts is OK, but if you are hiring them as managers, you are playing Russian roulette. DC- Even if I hire them as analysts, I see them as being the source of my future management talent, so the problems with MBAs are a real concern. What is it that makes MBAs bad managers? HM – I...

My favourite campaigns - Shunu Sen My favourite brands with which I have had a close acquaintance include Liril, a brand that was conceived by a group of young managers from Hindustan Lever and Lintas nearly 30 years ago. The advertisement created history. The brand became the market leader in its category within a year of its launch. "You answer so many questions on branding and advertising. Could you tell us about a few of your favourite Indian brands and why you think they are good? What makes them tick and what is their future? And, could you also tell us about brands that you didn't like or you thought were flops?" - K. Sunita, on e-mail WHAT an interesting question! And, not very easy to answer. However, let me try and answer this question to the best of my ability. Let me divide the favourite Indian brands, which I have had something to do with and t...
