No Luck-Now for Munna bhai

Yesterday one of my friend who work with a news channel, told that Munna bhai is likely to get a good news ( as she felt, while sitting in her office and analysing news) , I felt very sad on the behalf of another man. Now this man is a real champ, he quit his Job at IIT (where he was a professor) to start Asha, which is into ‘socioeconomic change in India through education’ . His name is Sandeep Pandey; he is also the youngest Indian to have won Ramon Magasasay award -- the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize. He was also involved in the RTI movement, and as an aware citizen of Lucknow , he had also filed a PIL in the Supreme Court urging it to cancel Munna bhai 's plea to contest the elections.
Now it’s a celebration time for him and other citizen of Lucknow (me included), that we have rejected a tainted candidate. Anyway I never understood the logic of SP in lucknow, they have always went for so-called crowd pulling candidates.

Ambani corporate rivalry and Congress-SP relationship in UP

While many political pundit may call 'Kalyan Factor' as the reason for 'difference of opinion', for Congress and SP in seat sharing in the state of UP. Another perceptive could be the Ambani brothers fight.
Its a known fact how Amar saab and his elder brother 'Mulla Mulayam' are related to 'Chote Ambani Saab' and twist in the tale came when a senior executive from Mukesh camp was seen in the Team Congress.

Well it all started with the ticket allocation to Anu Tandon madam from Unnao, she is a wife of senior corporate executive. The lady is otherwise famous for bringing Sallu bhai for 'Holi Milan' programme in Unnao

1. Easy one to start: "I was born in Mumbai in the illustrious Patel family. My Grandfather was the renowned lawyer-politician Barrister Rajni Patel who was the Congress Pradesh Committee President of Bombay”. Who am I?

2. Despite the fact that they were the first in Asia to begin with, today this Company is in a business which is very much dominated by another company whose head is a regular page-3 element. On the death of the then head of the family, soon his Colonel son succeeded, who introduced numerous new products that are brand leaders even today. However he died soon in 1973, and in between he also tried his luck in the election. Name him or the company.

3. He is not a very famous name today in the bollywood, though he can boost of impressive family affairs. His wife is CPM leader, won her MP’s election from X in year 1989 also her mother (his mother-in-law) is a war-time-heroine ( this will make question quite an easy affair) and she too tried her hand in an election which was against a very eminent personality. He belongs to a royal family and his son is now days quite famous in bollywood. Last clue is: he once tried his hand in the election and was very handsomely defeated. Identify him.

4. Bollywood nexus with politics is not a recent affair, it is quite old. Infact the first instant of this ploy was in year 1962, when Nehru used Balraj Sahni to campaign against him. Sahni was asked to stay at this ‘Minority Concentrated District’ to defeat a sitting MP. Name this ‘Larger Than Life ‘ politician.

5. Only time anyone from the TATA’s trying their luck in election was in year 1971 and the man was respected Naval Tata, he stood against a famous politician. Name this Mangalore-born-West-End politician.

6. His name in a regional language will mean ‘second’, however he himself and later his son proved that they are not a second-grade-political-party in their part of the world. To add little bit of story, his son was never interested in politics, so much so that his political opponent used to mock his name as something not suitable to govern.

TATA's creativeness - nano Advertising

TATA is looking at unconventional mediums like web search, viral marketing and innovative public relations-driven campaigns, where the news in brief is called ‘Nano news’ in TOI, Navbharat times etc and television advertisement breaks are called "Nano breaks" (I hav seen it during TC 2009 Campus telecast).

Tata Nano’s print campaign was unveiled. Unlike most car launches, this one will not be supported by a TV campaign.

Other initiatives include online games, merchandise and accessories like Nano branded T-shirts, key chains, teddy bears and watches.

On the day of the launch, the famous RK Laxman's common man was seen rushing towards a Nano. TATA is also encashing its other business through nano like bookings n displays of nano are at Croma, Westside etc.

People's cars

FORD MODEL T

1908-1927 The Model T Ford started out in 1908 at a $850 price point. However, the beauty of the Model T was not just the car but also the process, the moving assembly line was perfected by Henry Ford based on the four principles of accuracy, continuity, system and speed. It sparked a social revolution in Yankeeland. Fords workers were among the best paid because they produced the most, the profits of FoMoCo (popular slang for Ford Motor Company) went through the roof.

AUSTIN SEVEN

1922-1939 What the Model T did for the US, the Austin 7 did for the UK. Made by the Austin Motor Company from 1922 to 1939, the Austin 7 was considerably smaller and more compact than the Ford Model-T. It was lighter, less than half the Model Ts weight to be specific at 360 kg. While giving it adequate performance was a 747cc engine with a modest 10hp.

FIAT 500 TOPOLINO

1936-1955 Designed by the great Dante Giacosa, Fiat 500 Topolino (Mickey Mouse in Italian) that was introduced in 1936, seemed a scaled down version of a large car but so finely detailed were its lines and proportions that it went on to attain instant success. The 500 was produced in three different variants until 1955 with minor mechanical and cosmetic changes.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

1938-1998 Unveiled in 1938, the Volkswagen Beetle was the outcome of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitlers vision to give the German masses a really affordable and easy-to-run car, in which a family of five could travel easily, even over tough mountainous roads. The job was handed over to Ferdinand Porsche, who developed a small family car in 1936 which went into production in 1938. The Volkswagen Beetles success was largely credited to its cuddly and endearing appeal and the engineering tour de force of Ferdinand Porsche.

CITROEN 2CV

1948-1990 The 2CV was the original Toute Petite Voiture (thats French for Very Small Car) much akin to Nano. The idea for 2CV came from leader-thinker and Citroen-Michelin boss Pierre Boulanger. Within months of its 1949 launch, the waiting list grew to be three years long. At that time, second hand 2CVs demanded a greater premium than new ones, only because they would be delivered sooner. With a 375cc air-cooled opposed-twin cylinder engine and a very pliant and innovative suspension, the car was capable of a true speed of about 60 km/h while delivering a fuel efficiency of 33 kmpl. This car was very actively being considered for manufacture in India in the early 1980s by none other than Escorts but the government of India did not want to see any competition to Maruti Udyog and denied Escorts the permission to manufacture it.

AUSTIN MINI

1959-2000 The original Mini is said to be Britains Beetle by many thanks to its mass appeal. Under the fiercely passionate and iron fisted control of its designer, Sir Alec Issigonis, some may even think that the process was similar to Ferdinand Porsches quest for the German peoples car. The car had its genesis in the 1956 Suez Canal petroleum crisis, which gave Issigonis the idea to make a small car that was not only fuel efficient, but also packed the maximum interior space in the minimum possible road space.

MARUTI 800

1988-PRESENT Europe and America have had their share of peoples cars in the form of the Ford Model T, VW Beetle, Austin Seven, just to name a fewcars which pretty much changed the face of the automobile industry in their day. So it might be difficult for some to understand how the cute little Maruti 800 fits into the same league as these, considering that it was just a rehashed Japanese Kei (ultra-compact) car built for the Indian market. But what the Model T and the Beetle did for the world when they were introduced was just what the 800 did for India when Maruti launched it back in 1983. In an era of cars like the Premier Padmini and the HM Ambassador, which embodied a socialist approach to making automobiles just as their names would suggest, the Maruti 800 was a revelation.

TATA CRUCIBLE LUCKNOW (review)

Record No.1- Maximum no.of teams participated in the quiz . A total of 314 teams.

Record No.2 – First time in the history of TC , 2 prelims had to be conducted. Each prelim consisted of 165 teams.

Record No. 3 – Maximum Number of Institute, 78 in all total.. anyway this is a normal number of team participating form Pune ( as per the trend from last 3 years), and we all know how Pune boost of being a Educational city.

Record No. 4 - First time in the history of any Tata quiz, a team scored 20/20 in the prelims.

Anyway for me the most amazing thing was a team from Gorakpur, who qualified for a wild card. Final saw good battle between two IIM team and a IIT, Amity Bio tech team and Lucknow's very own BBD.

Giri’s concluding words best captured the magnitude of quizzing cult in lucknow.

“ Today, its not IIML who has won. Its Lucknow who has won”. How often you see venue like Taj be such a place, with no empty space at the venue and also at the parking lot.

Next time they need to move at a bigger place.

Great work done by Giri ( & his Graycaps) Tata's esp TCS...

Anyway another update is that the National ( as well as the International ) final will be on 5th of April at Taj Place Mumbai and if all goes well Chief Guest will be Mr. Ratan Tata

Aam aadmi ke badhte kadam, har kadam pe Bharat buland..Jai ho

Congress has come out with three 60-second films that seek to show the party leading its multitudes to progress. From its 2004 slogan of ‘Congress ka haath, aam aadmi ke saath,’ the party has moved on to ‘Aam aadmi ke badte kadam; har kadam par bharat buland.’ Loosely translated, it would mean the common man marches ahead and every step he takes makes India stronger.

With 'Jai Ho' music these video also shows the mandatory pictures of happy children, prosperous farmers and communal harmony etc etc, to showcase the India Shinning (ohh sorry India’s growth story).
Song is penned by famous hindi poet Ashok Chakradhar and sung by Balram.

Apple launches 4-gigabyte iPod shuffle

Apple has unveiled a minuscule new iPod Shuffle that takes its "smaller is better" mantra to a whole new level.

The third-generation Shuffle, a slim aluminium rectangle less than 5-centimetres long, takes up about half as much space as the previous version even as it doubles music storage space to 4 gigabytes.

Now that the device can carry 1,000 songs, Apple has come up with a way for people to identify the music they're listening to or find songs they want. A new feature called VoiceOver can, at the push of a button, speak the song and artist name or rattle off the list of custom mixes — called playlists — that the owner has loaded onto the device.

Genelia D'Souza to endorse Cadbury Perk

Cadbury India has roped in actress Genelia D'souza as brand ambassador of Cadbury Perk. This marks the relaunch of the product and addition of a new variant, 'Perk Poppers,' to its portfolio. Perk & Perk Poppers, encased in new attractive wrappers, will contain an added taste of "Real Cadbury Dairy Milk" and an "improved wafer" bite.

Cadbury India director-marketing Sanjay Purohit said, "Genelia's connect with the youth made the task of identifying a new face easier. She embodies youthfulness and brand connect in a unique and powerful manner."
"Also, a little know fact is that Cadbury Perk has been a launch pad for Bollywood stars. All our Cadbury Perk brand ambassadors have subsequently made it big on cinema screens," Purohit adds.

Film actor and singer, Raageshwari featured in one of the earliest commercials for Cadbury Perk, during its launch in 1996. With the tag line – 'Thodi si pet pooja' – the brand wanted to target teenagers and their hunger pangs. Gayatri Joshi of Swades fame and Amrita Rao also featured in the Perk commercials after Raageshwari. After that, Preity Zinta was roped in with the tag line, 'Kabhi bhi kaise bhi.'
The new ad for Perk will follow its existing positioning of ‘Take it lightly’, and is expected to hit TV screens soon. The commercial will centre on the need to relax and chill out when things don’t fall in place. This positioning was introduced in 2008 with a campaign featuring Sharman Joshi. Incidentally, this was the first time a male celebrity was used to promote the brand
