  • This is how you market a product – Firefox 3.5

    Ubiquit |  Posted 13 hours, 15 minutes ago |  No Comments

    Well, it’s been a while since I came across a software marketing campaign/product introduction exercise that was interesting, crystal clear, and most importantly, to the point. Very few software vendors are good at marketing their products – be it target or generic audience.
    When you introduce a product, an end-user / audience looks for the following:

  • Our society is now open to homosexuality – Legally

    Ubiquit |  Posted 1 day, 12 hours ago |  2 Comments

    Some time ago, I published a great article by Saroj on the Western World’s perspective on homosexuality. Well, from today, India is open to accepting homosexuality – legally! This is great news for those that cherish same-sex relationships/marriages, especially in the supposedly conservative Indian society.
    All is well! However, in my opinion, the problem is that [...]

      It will be interesting to observe how this change will impact society and adolescents in particular. When a certain behaviour gets wide acceptance, its incidence is also bound to increase as it will be considered a ‘trend’. Just as previous generations found it hard to accept inter caste/religious marriages, it is to be seen how we will react to same sex relationships among our children in years to come.

        Whatever be the law, it’s meant to be broken! There might be increased instances of adam-teasing and MALE-molestation :P . Now, men will know how it feels to be abused by another man ;)

  • What if the speedometers are marked this way..

    dreamer |  Posted 1 week, 1 day ago |  No Comments

    Most of us (most guys, I mean!) have the tendency to push our car/bike a little harder to reach the vehicle’s top speed on empty roads – especially highways. Of course, some highways are designed for that. Even if your car is well equipped with airbags, EBD, ABS, etc., hitting an object at 150 kmph [...]

      I meant “‘Looks’ quite neat and…”

  • Fuel and Axe deospray advertisements – quite sensual

    dreamer |  Posted 1 week, 3 days ago |  No Comments

    So, if you wanna get a one night stand with a girl, just spray yourself with Axe or Fuel deodorants? If yes, life can’t get spicier, can it? This is the kind of message conveyed by Axe and Fuel deodorants’ advertisement campaigns (I would’ve left out other brands, just fill ‘em in!).
    Well, the fact is, [...]

  • Wi5 – Chennai enveloped by Wi-Fi

    Ubiquit |  Posted 1 week, 4 days ago |  No Comments

    Zylog Systems India Ltd. (ZIL), has started wireless broadband services in Chennai, under the brand name Wi5. A first look at the plans gives me a feeling that they are way cheaper than most other Internet service providers (ISPs). Their base plan starts at Rs. 550, and according to ZIL COO R Janakiraman, the minimum [...]

  • Zara Tapas – Cathedral road, Chennai

    dreamer |  Posted 1 week, 4 days ago |  No Comments

    This is definitely not a place for people hit by recession, but worth a visit. This is a Spanish bar, with exquisite Spanish delicacies. Oohh! I love the Spanish omlette and the Mushroom fried in red wine.
    This is one place where you get excellent quality liquor and food, but as I mentioned before, the place [...]

  • Rambha Bar – Hotel Palmgrove, Chennai

    Ubiquit |  Posted 1 week, 5 days ago |  No Comments

    Well, during tough times like ‘recession‘, salaried people like us tend to think twice before spending on food and drinks at premium bars, pubs and restaurants.
    Rambha bar, tucked inside the famous Palmgrove Hotel (Chennai), provides a conservative ambiance with good quality liquor. To many non-veg lovers, this place might be a slight let down coz [...]

  • Racism in developed countries – who’s to be blamed?

    Ubiquit |  Posted 2 weeks, 6 days ago |  One Comment

    Who’s to be blamed? Well, we all play the blame game right from our childhood days. Trust me, we are good at it!

    When I left for Germany, a few years ago for my graduate studies, I heard a lot of negative comments about being a foreigner in Germany. Many of my friends, well wishers and [...]

      Nice experiences in here. Also, over-competition is created since everyone is trying to become everything instead of realizing core-talents and competencies.

  • Love failures: Why do people turn suicidal?

    Ubiquit |  Posted 3 weeks, 6 days ago |  No Comments

    Love failure. Well, this is very subjective. To many, living in progressive societies, if one relationship doesn’t work out good, they elegantly break-up, pursue another, or just go on with their lives.

    But, what happens in a society that is governed by racism, casteism, and obnoxious movie makers that graciously portray suicides/attempts by unsuccessful couples in [...]
