An Island and Two Coconut Trees

comicbox1 An Island and Two Coconut Trees

The picture sums up what we need in a good social media consultant/promoter or what qualities each of us should possess if we want to be a successful social media consultant/promoter. Given an island and two coconut trees how can you make it the most desirable place on the web?

  • The lady with the peace sign.

Like a lady, one should be gentle and do the most sensible thing that will do good for the brand or idea.

  • The guy with the big brush.

Well this symbolizes the creative and the artistic side of being a social media consultant/promoter. There are a lot of people who want to be in this field and the big question is how do you become creative enough to stand apart.

  • The guy with the bulb.

Being innovative and inventive should be the final quality. One must be inventive in ways to promote a client or service via the social media. Re-inventing the wheel only runs for so long.

Mail from Kingfisher Airlines

I got the following mail from Kingfisher Airlines,

Dear Mr. Reghunadh,

On behalf of Kingfisher Airlines, I am grateful to you for your support and patronage of our services. I would like to take this opportunity to update you on recent developments at Kingfisher Airlines vis-a-vis media reports on our performance.

As you are aware, the Indian Aviation Industry has been faced with the difficult task of coping with high costs and lower yields. Post considerable thought and deliberation, Kingfisher Airlines has rolled out initiatives that aim to drive the long-term profitability in our efforts to meet these challenges.

As announced earlier, we have decided to focus on the full-service market; to this end Kingfisher Airlines has initiated reconfiguration of its aircraft. This exercise will require few of our aircraft to be out of service for the next few weeks. Ergo and in line with maximizing productivity we have rationalized our network, resulting in a temporary discontinuation of approximately 50 flights out of our current operating schedule of approximately 350 departures per day. Once the reconfiguration is complete, these aircraft will be pressed back into service immediately. Clearly the report about our flights being cancelled owing to the supposed exodus of pilots appears to be falsified.

Our service commitment to you remains sacrosanct, and we have taken every measure to reduce any inconvenience caused due to the temporary changes in schedule. Please accept my sincere apologies in case you have been inconvenienced on this account; I truly appreciate your support, and thank you for your understanding.

I look forward to your continued patronage and remain,

Yours sincerely,

 Anshu Sarin

Vice President

Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays

We would’ve to wait and see what’s really going to happen.

FlipKart is a Flash Drive

[overheard from the next cubicle]

A : dude, what is this? Is this really an 8GB thumb drive? It’s so small..

B : Yup ..

A : How much did you pay?

B : 350…

A : ohh .. where?

B : FlipKart ..

A : Ohh, a flash drive?

B : FlipKart.com

A :  ahhh …

Wondering what would have gone through B’s mind … sigh!

I need reservation

Yes, I’m asking for reservation. That will be 33.333333 (add as many 3’s as you need).

No I haven’t changed my gender and I’m not planning to get into politics. But in a house, where you are the only male who has to survive against 2 women, trust me, you need reservation.

With Emma and her mommy at one side, it’s tough for me, Emma’s dad, to do things my way. My things, the stuff that I need were all relocated or packed away to make room for Emma’s and mommy’s things. Even my prized Arduino board, like the rest of the electronics stuff among other things have all been packed into boxes and cast away into an unknown place.

There is an ongoing fight to control the angular momentum of the fan. Even during these cool, pleasant Bangalore mornings, the fan has to be turned on. Forget the days when it’s cold. For some apparent, unexplained reason both mom and daughter have high body temperature that neither of their bodies are able to regulate or successfully cool down. That calls for the fan switch to be on and the poor dad to crawl under a thick blanket.

Yes, blanket and bed space, the other things that I need to fight for. I go to bed with my wife, and Emma happily and peacefully (we think so) asleep in her cradle. But at some random point in the night, my daughter magically appears in the bed between me and my wife. Now she needs to be under the blanket and needs bed space. By the time I had given her those, I’m left with a ¾inch X 2m piece of cloth to cover my body on a 1inch X 2m bed space for the rest of the night, trying to get some sleep before I freeze to death.

I wonder why they need the blanket and the fan at the same time. I guess I will never know.

There was a time when I used to come back from office, pick up my iPad and read through what had happened to the online world. Someone somewhere would have gone wrong on the Internet the past 24hrs and it would have made some interesting read. Well, the only place where I could read now is the loo. But I guess they found out about that and my days and numbered. Yes my wifey caught me re-tweeting when I was in the act.

The developments of the motoring world were closely followed before. But couple of nights back, when my friend told me that he was getting a Vento. I asked him, which car was that. His jaw dropped so hard and made what is now the pothole in front of Boca Grande restaurant in Koramangala.

Enough is enough! After being a part time cook, driver, maid and a full time ATM machine, this dad needs his space at home.

I need my rightful 33.3333333% reservation.
