Been buried in inhuman amounts of work. I hope to dig myself out of it by the end of this month. But for now....a breather.

Here's something useless to ponder on:
Ever wanted to know how RICH you look. When I say RICH I mean in monetary terms. I've always noticed that some people, although just about financially sound, "look" quite rich. While some really rich people look just about financially sound. Perhaps among other things, its that certain individual's choice in the way he or she projects himself/herself.

I for one, dont really care...looking rich or looking poor is hardly I ever even want to be concerned with....So why this discussion?

Apparently, Rickshaw guys in Gurgaon do care - abt how rich one looks.

The flashback:

I take the same route often to my office in a cycle rickshaw, for which I've always been charged 10Rs.

Back to the future:

Unlike other days, when I dress up in dull office attire, today I was in my casuals -Reebook, levis...whatever. And so I walk up to the rickshaw guy and ask him the fare and he looks at my shoe... and says 20Rs.

I was amused...


So if you ever wanted to know what rickshaw guys think about your financial
status...you now know what to do.

PPS: On a more serious note, I am thoroughly impressed with the RAGAM 2005 t-shirt (check it out at the RAGAM 2005 website ).

Kuttz and I had done the RAGAM 2000(?) T-shirt....but this tee is leagues beyond what I could ever come up with. Well done DOOD!

Attended a Gillette marketing program launch yesterday, at The Grand, Delhi. To be honest, I was looking forward to the lunch and desserts at a 5 star Hotel more than anything else. However, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The launch was quite an event. They had beautful models on stage, doing a choreo. They had a life-size model of an F1 car on the stage...a precursor to the new product Gillette is going launch in June( sorry ....cant tell! )Lots of interesting ads and presentations, etc. Of course, the food was YUMMY! And I could go on and on about the desserts. I couldnt get enough....

At the end of the launch I asked one of the guys I work with at the CFA how he liked the party. He was like,

"Are you kidding me?...This is hardly even a sample of what Gillette does, when a new PRODUCT launch happens"


He then proceeded to tell me about the amazing launch party Gillette had for Mach3 Turbo... Lots of food, even more models, dances, glamour and of course you get Gillette freebies.

Man, I'm lookin' forward to June already!!!
