Nother beautiful thought

When I am working on a problem, I never think of beauty. I think only about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Business Blogging

The last week has been a major revelation for me - I have seen atleast two (one of them a pretty comprehensive success story) case studies where a properly put together, continously updated business blog & Online Networking thing - can prove to be an EXCELLENT business development resource - for the guy who is maintaining it AND for anyone who wants to employ/coordinate/discuss new things with the writer of the journal - you enter the table with a LOT of insight on the person's background, quality, experience etc. which makes it VERY easy to work together.

I'l do more stuff on my blog here on on these lines - instead of time wasting, lyrics writing and general bitching.

For starters:

Heres my little profile (i was about to write, 'Pathetic little' - but in business blogging - theres NO room for self depreciatory lines :0 ) on LinkedIn:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/40a/182

Il be updating it soon.

One really good line, which seems almost too simple, but is the LESSON OF THE YEAR for me, is here:

" The reason it seems that price is all your customers care about is...
... that you haven't given them anything else to care about."

I guess il print it on a Tee Shirt and send it to all our key salesmen or something - and for 'green' guys like me who think nothing about cutting prices left and right with utter disregard to anything else while making deals - i guess we cud tattoo this one across our foreheads.

( Heres the actual blog's URL with the full article http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/05/price.html )

So heres to 'better blogging' and 'giving my customers more' !! Cheerio !!

More !

Breathless !

In dino, dil mera,
mujhse hai keh raha
tu khwaab saja,
tu ji le jarahai tujhe bhi ijaazat,
karle tu bhi mohabbat

Berang si hai badi zindagi kuchh rang to bharoon
main apani tanhaayi ke waaste abb kuchh toh karoon
jab mile thodi fursat,
mujhse karle muhabbat
hai tujhe bhi ijaazat,
karle tu bhi muhabbat

Usako chhupaakar main sabse kabhi le chaloon kahin door…
aankhon ke pyaalon kse pita rahoon usake chehre ka noor
iss jamaane se chhupakar,
puri karloon main hasrat
hai tujhe bhi ijaazat,
karle tu bhi muhabbat

- 'In Dinon' from 'Metro' - Brilliant !

Strings, Pritam and artists who've performed stuff like 'Woh lamhe woh baatein' have literally written a new episode in Hindi music History- a whole new genre of soft rock - which is so full of soul.

Shitheads like Himesh Reshammiya - please shut up for a few months, listen & learn from work this.

Feminism

While i am all for "Woman Empowerment" (whatever the hell that is), i fucken HATE feminists.

I mean those people who raise hell for non relevant, natural issues concerning basic differences between men / women and write friggin newspaper columns on such subjects.

I got to read atleast 3 such pieces today. Man ! Iam pissed off.
