Why marketers should not fall in love:

Why marketers should not fall in love,
The reason is not being lousy, not even the time,
It has to do with the qualities inherent, the tuning of the chimes.

When a marketer looks for  love,
He goes for a market research,
He thinks about the sample and the respondent,
Whether it has to be a college girl or someone from the convent.

He draws out an exhaustive questionnaire,
Which never is to be filled.
Sometimes shopping mysterily,
If caught is to be killed.

Now comes the analysis part,
Which never comes so easy,
SPSS or Excel, which software to choose,
Lips pink or red, hair tied or loose.

Now comes the stage so tricky,
The STP can be loose or can be sticky.
The segment which he chose, never pay him heed,
The targeting seems never succeed.

Positioning looks like a game of trial and error,
Should he be amicable or try a strategy of terror.
Should he try some cheesy lines,
Or be a lover walking along the mines.

Offers need to be made to customers,
Sweepstakes in the form of moon and stars,
All go in vain, if you don’t offer diamond or car.
 
Many a time customer turnover doesn’t take place,
The product life cycle takes an accelerated pace.
Before even the introduction, the product declines,
No brand engagement, even the brand manager resigns.

Rikshewala Ameer Ho Gaya Ek din ek rikshewale k ghar pe sarkari babu aye, Adhe tute huye darwaje ko jor se khatkhataye Rikshawala dauda-dauda aya, aur sankal hatayi, Dekh kar samne suit-boot wale babu, uski buddhhi chakrayi. Usne socha ki ye shayad koi survey karne aye hai, Ya bachho ko polio ki do boond pilane aye hai. Bade aadar se usne unhe andar bulaya, Andar tooti mej aur fati chatayi dekh sarkari babu jhallaya. Bola hum baithne nahi aye hai, Bus tumse kuch sawal karne aye hai. Yeh sun ke rikshawala ghabraya, Socha ye kesa sankat hai aya. Babu ne pucha, ghar me kitne log hai, Sabhi maujud h yahan, yeh bhi kya kam sanyog hai. Babu ne charo taraf najar daudayi, To teen bachhe aur yeh h tumhari lugayi. Rikshewale ne sir hilakar hami bhari, Aur ek budhi ma hai jo khat par h padi. Babu ne pucha, mahine m kitna kama leta hai, Mai-baap mahine ka nahi, hamara to din bhar ka theka hai. Achha to din m kitna kama leta hai, Malik yeh to is par ...

Sanak

Zindagi me kuch ho na ho sanak honi chahiye, Sapne ankho me aur kano me unki khanak honi chahiye.   Jab tak log na hase tum par, tumhare sapne bade nahi, Jo hakikat na lage, wo sapne hi hai sahi.   Chaar logo ki baat kano pe padni chahiye, Kuch to fusfusahat ho, esi karni chahiye.   Duniya se khud ki ladayi khud hi ladni chahiye, Zindagi me kuch ho na ho sanak honi chahiye.
India against corruption “Practise what preach”, this is an ideology which is taught to us from our childhood. But it seems like an outdated concept in this real world. Our politicians preach living a simple life while driving in a SUV and that too on public expense; our cricketers preach playing fair, while the winners fall to the bottom of fair play table. Our actors preach, “No to drugs” while Caught in camera in inebriated state. Media preaches fair jurisdiction and jurisdiction for all while carrying out “incriminate the accused campaign” and the list goes on. But this is not about the actors, politicians, cricketers, media; it is about the common man. This is about an incident which I came across in a small town in M.P, last year. During the month of April 2011,there was a large hue and cry regarding the anticorruption campaign and the Lokpal bill. The rage reached to the level of a revolution, where the whole country seems to be united under one agenda. Although the m...
