Phoonk : Ramus tryst with horror

Ram Gopal Varma and Phoonk are out marketing their film never heard before. Phoonk is out with a challenge. Watch it alone in a theatre and take home 5 lakh ruppees. It does not seem as easy as it may sound to you. RGV camp is claiming it to be the scariest movie ever to hit the Indian cinemas. This kind of marketing seems new, something Shahrukh and Red Chillies entertainment can look into.
To market the movie Ram Gopal has also used his blog.

Ramu's experience with supernatural

He says that once on he was on a flight with shiamak dawar. Shiamak and Ramu had never met or worked before except at a party where they had met. While talking Shiamak suddenly asked, "Is your father dead ?". He was taken aback. He said "ya".
Shiamak replied saying that Ramu's father was there with them and was little concerned about Ramu.

Lets see what is Shiamak's take on this story. I can only say one thing to him, "Man! you are so scary". You scared Ramu.

There are three scary stories that Ramu has to tell, which are there on his blog. Shiamak's story was the one I found the best to mention. For the rest there is Ramu's blog, not Speak India. If you find them funny don't blame me.

I appreciate this story/incident but I wonder why such incidents only come in light when a movie on black magic is about to be released. Maybe marketing, publicity. But calling your dead dad back for few extra bucks doesn't sound too good. Best of luck RGV for your PHOONK. I'll be there.......................................................................................................................................
................only to watch your movie...

Giving the finger to a scripted life!

It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age. ~ Warren Buffet. You have plans for your life, career etc. You've built an entire script but what is this based on? Scott at Ted talks about how almost 80% of the people around the world don't like the job they do. In his career, he found one day that most of the job he did was automated by his competitors. Building the resume was clearly not way forward. It was during that time he he heard the quote by warren buffet, " It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age ". This was when he left his job. While there are know universities, which talk about finding your passion, Scott talks about a lens that can help in finding the job we love.

Twitter and the world of hate - Delhi Gang Rape

Common wisdom says that venting out reduces frustration. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs help us achieve the same. While what normally starts as a "venting out" experience, I suspect is turning out to be an anguish enhancer. When I look at trending topics on twitter all what I see is a world of "Hate". Small pieces of hate messages turn out to be a big collective bunch of hate. Take the case of Delhi gang rape and some ill-minded comments of politicians and spiritual gurus. What started as scattered bickering remarks against a comment made by "Asaram" has now become a full fledged ball of rage. This rage was "non-directional", had no agenda and was oriented towards sarcasm and wit. While Delhi gang rape highlights poor governance, societal problems and problems of law and order, venting out on a forum that accumulates the frustration by many such people only adds to the low well-being. It is time we use some discretion and post messages that...

Twitter vs. News - Effectiveness in building relations

Social Media has been termed as an effective way to build relationships. Brands are trying to harness this capability by building social presence on this new media. Celebrities today account for the maximum amount of followers on the web with twitter being a fine example for this. But is this new media effective in creating relationships with this vast list of followers, which celebrities often tend to have? In an interesting research by Lee and Jang , they explore the effectiveness of celebrities in building social presence on new media. They compare twitter and a news website to check the relative effectiveness of enhancing social presence. While the traditional PR machinery used by celebrities might give them news coverage, they contend that their tweets can reduce the barrier of relational development as compared to a news website. Their findings are counter-intuitive and very interesting.
