Logic behind this brand name is “BIG” umbrella brand which ADAG is using for their Entertainment business, like Big FM, Big TV and Big music. The application says it claims “no right” to “exclusive use of word ‘Big Bazar’”, which means the company will only use the name as Reliance Big Bazar, according to the document filed. So it’s Biyani vs.’other’ Ambani now.

TIPS or Tipping Culture --hoax
•Tipping as a response to proper service developed in the Tea Gardens of England. Small, locked wooden boxes were placed on the tables throughout the Garden. Inscribed on each were the letters "T.I.P.S." which stood for the sentence "To Insure Prompt Service". If a guest wished the waiter to hurry (and so insure the tea arrived hot from the often distant kitchen) he dropped a coin into the box on being seated "to insure prompt service". Hence, the custom of tipping servers was created.

Lakme
In 1952, Lakmé - India's first beauty brand was born. For this venture, the Tatas tied up with the French cosmetic house Renoir.
An interesting story about the brand is its christening. During discussions between the Indian and French teams, the name 'Lakmé' was mooted by one of the young members on the Renoir team. Apparently there was an opera running in Paris at that time which was titled 'Lakmé' with the story set in India. Three Frenchmen fighting the British soldiers in the Sunderbans, West Bengal sought refuge in a temple, wounded and dying. The temple was of Goddess Laxmi and the name 'Lakmé' was born.
