A Dreamer in Mumbai

"Mumbai... The City Of Dreams"

This is what people tell about Mumbai. Which is exactly true. People come to Mumbai with passion to fulfill their dreams. But somewhere most of them end-up struggling to even survive. 

Every morning this dreamer starts his day with a enthusiasm and will to take another step towards his dream. Then he struggles all day to catch a train then bus or auto rickshaw or taxi. And many times till he reach his office and start working, he has almost lost that feeling What remains is the sense to at-least do well in the job he is doing for living, after all we have all our life to fulfill dreams. Again through same struggle way back. He somehow reaches home, makes his dinner, and as he tries to reach out to rest, the clock says 'time to bed'. In the bed he thinks of the of his dream, how he cultivated it through years, and what he is doing now, He thinks of so little time left, because his father is going to retire next year, the loans from friends, the money borrowed from his brother, his failure to keep any of his promises. He is frustrated. Everyday the frustration goes on building. This Man, after a day of hard work goes to bed with frustration and feeling of failure.

His ideas and confusions now start turning into struggles and failures

He  has worked hard for this one step towards his dream and fluked so many opportunities. It  is real harsh world out there. It does not forgive his slightest of mistake. And he ends up paying handsomely for every mistake.Friends suggest him to be patient. but dreamer has this rush to reach the goal. May be his dream is far larger than anybody other than he himself can think of. 

His dreams are lost in the crowd and rush of the city. 

But there are some bright eyes and enlightening smiles that keep him going. His himself and the people who believe in this dreamer do not lose on him. He is now again back on his feet, ready to take another step.towards his dreams and many more failures coming on his way with a smile on his face. This time with more wisdom and learning from the failures. The confidence that he had reached so much closer to the dreams not once but many times before, he can again get there and this time will grab them with 
both his hands.

He will preserves his Ideas ans Confusions and in fact, change them to 
Creations and Learning.

    I know this dreamer, I believe in him, I believe his dream, I believe his potential to make it come true... Sometime he gives me inferiority complex. Just one thing to tell... DO NOT LOOSE ON IT... ALL THE BEST..!!!

Association: How vital is it?

“Wow, Tide ki safedi!!! Anything special in office?”                My friend asked me while I was leaving for office today wearing my new plain while shirt. Something struck me, how easily he associated with Tide brand even when other brands are too promoting it with same “whitening power” positioning. May be, because; “Tide” did a good job of associating themselves with “whites” only.                 The Association is been basic funda in the human behavior. We tend to associate and co-relate the different ideas/things/events with each other. Actually how we correlate these together only decides how we will behave with it.                  For example, let’s consider the addiction to Smoking , some people can easily loose the addiction while some try hard but still fail to do so. We blame this on the will power or extent of addiction. But if we see many of those who easily get reed of smoking, have associated smoking with fun, attitude or other non essential emotio

Marketing Sense Isn't the Same as Common Sense

--An article by Al Ries is chairman of Ries & Ries(http://www.ries.com/) Each year, hundreds of graduate schools of business turn out thousands of marketing people. When they arrive on the scene, these newly minted marketers want to make their mark. So they dismiss their advertising agencies and hire new ones. They revamp the marketing plans, even including new systems of compensation for the sales force. They change names, logos, slogans and strategy statements. Welcome to the world of marketing. This happens every year, usually around budget time. Actually I didn't write these paragraphs this year. I wrote them 16 years ago in an article published in the June 19, 1994, issue of The New York Times. Headline: "Marketers, Stop Your Tinkering." That was also the year a USA Today panel of top ad agency creative directors named Little Caesars as the "best ad campaign of 1994." Maybe you remember the Cliff Freeman & Partners campaign.
