"We want a Web 2.0 Promo - Can you deliver?"

So marketers love this Web 2.0 shit. I have heard some of them ask us - "There is no Orkut or YouTube for 'India'- We want to build one. But first, we want you to sign an NDA."

So here is what not to do with Web 2.0 stuff when u dont understand it well - Just visit this 'unmoderated' promo site for Ponds on Indiatimes - and check out someone called him/herself whore from 'Cunt Lane' saying ponds_is_fucked_up@ponds.com and a gazzallion others Daljits looking to make "friendships" on i-blushed

Now, will the Unilever Global Corp Communication team recieve a google alert and mail themselves a legal notice? While the marketing team loves web 2.0, the corp communication team understands the impact of it on their brands equally well. Wow!

While i type this, i realize this work would be done by a competitor of Webchutney - The thought is really not intended to go there - So here is a disclosure - I am just trying to make a point. We used to see this stuff happen on our UGC sites / discussion boards all the time (I am wont certainly surely say, we still do). But I am sure so we (agencies) can all buy another day from clients and use a script to monitor 'bad and naughty behavior' and additionally clients could pay another 20,000 Rs as a retainer for a content moderator. 20,000 Rs is worth that useless outdoor hoarding in Bhiwadi which anyway has Baba Asarams poster pasted on it...

Vrooom Doom

Dont call me sexist pls, this is just pure funny.

Btw, its not a Santro - for a minute i thought so myself, then almost believed it was my sister inside. but look at the back closely, its not a hyundai santro and the youtube comments suggest its somewhere in Romania.

Lmao! Cow!

BombayBitch is live and beginning to chug!

Finally, the BombayBitch project is 'officially' live... We are hoping that Tithiya, the editor, helps us bury some mediocrity in online media with it.

If you care, try the newsletter, (everyday, 5 times a week) and do send feedback to us.

Rock on.

Flattering Shahrukh

Bad Bad thing...

Just discovered this song, its fucking 10 years old atleast - where the hell was i then? ... i guess, was busy stealing 5 rs from home daily for some stupid ice lollies sold in front of my school in bangalore... shew!

Expose' !

The bitch tells me I am Milli Vanilli :(

That content was from English August... Sigh! But why did i take notes from there a couple of years back? And i read that book the last time while i was in college ...

Thats fucking random... the plot thickens.

Another One : Episode 2

He lies intemperately, inventing wild stories at the spur of the moment (and leading to considerable confusion, as he offers a variety of contradictory information). He smokes pot -- "often against his will". He masturbates. He does what he has to do at his job, but that really isn't all that much. He goes through the motions -- travelling, dealing with officials and visitors -- but most of what he does still seems to baffle him.

Plagiarized thoughts?

Eventually, he knew, he would marry, perhaps not out of passion, but out of convention, which was probably a safer thing. And then, in either case, in a few months or years they would tire of disagreeing with each other, or what was more or less the same thing, would be inured to each other's odd and perhaps disgusting ways, the way she squeezed the tube of toothpaste and the way he drank from a glass and didn't rinse it, and they would slide into a placid and comfortable unhappiness, and maybe unseeingly watch TV every day, each still a cocoon...

I just saw discovered this - scribbled somewhere in a notepad file - The strange thing is that i cant remember whether i wrote this or i just randomly copied this (for reasons i cant remember) and kept it. The text file was created 2 years back (checked properties). I almost write like this, but wouldnt use the expression "unseeingly watch TV every day" because i dont think i would have ever articulated this like that... I am really confused now... Though i wish it was me.

Blur right after moment of clarity

"The only things i regret in my life are things i did not do" - Cant figure out who originally said it, so i will attribute it to Professor Vikrams friend Bhaiya.

The most sorted quote i've read in my life. Ok... its atleast better than

"Life is like an ice cream, eat it before it melts' from Dr. Namrata Singh.

Shut up Nam.
