Brand

Happened to watch the recent advertisement of Godrej Cinthol on Tv. My peeve has always been that Godrej manufactures some mind blowing products, but hardly advertises it.

But come to think of it, its products sell for itself. Godrej Cupboards, Godrej Locks, Godrej office furniture. They are pioneers. Even if one buys any other companies products the first brand that comes to mind is Godrej.

There are many other such products, where you hardly see the advertise, but the product sells on its own. Take the case of Parle G biscuits. When was the last time one saw an advt for Parle G Glucose biscuit?

Or Natraj Pencils, so much competition in the market, but Natraj is still Champion without much advertising.

Ask any office what they use as whitening ink, and they will name Kores.

Dalda Ghee…needs no advertisement…when it comes to Ghee…it is Dalda.

Other than Amul hoardings, one hardly sees much advertise by it, but when it comes to butter its always Amul Butter

These and many other products over the years have built their brands through their quality products and customer satisfaction.

Kudos to them!!
P.S Not a single brand has paid me for endorsing them out here ;)

OMG -The After Effect

Recommended the movie to many people, discussed it with many. But there is one discussion which I am going to share with you all now...


I was asked a question...Even though Muslim and Catholic religions were included in the Court Case, don't you feel the Onus was more on the Hindu spiritual leaders.

No...our discussion was not anti or pro any particular religion...we agreed to the point that no other religion has that kind of tolerance power. Seriously it true. Had the movie showed a case first against the mosque and church...or included the case along with the first case...the theatres would have erupted in violence instead of whistles and claps.

Ok..so if we Hindus are tolerant then why the riots. All religions are tolerant, it's the followers who are not.

Actually I like the way Muslims come together every Friday for Namaz or the way Christians for their Sunday Mass. It creates a Community feeling. Hindus with their numerous Gods visit the temples at their whims, at their timings. But then such community gatherings are often used to spread a message by those in control of the place where these gatherings take place. Mass messages good and bad are given out.

Somewhere all religions need to learn from one another. Imbibe the benefits...then maybe this world can have peace.

As for the movie, Very cleverly the most tolerant of the three religions was put on the front and by the time those watching the movie understood that this is not anti God or Anti Religion the other two religions were also included. Kudos to the makers
