Phone and call girl

Thats not me :D
The Phone rings, Tring tring, tring tring…
Every time the phone rings, I unfortunately pick it up and the first question that shoots down my ear is “Sushant, Where are you ?”
Me: I’m at this red light stuck in a traffic jam. Will be there in a few minutes.
The Phone rings again, Tring tring, tring tring…
Caller: “Sushant, Where are you?”
Poor Me: I’m at another traffic signal and stuck in another traffic jam. Will be there in a few minutes.
Tring tring, tring tring… (And now the caller is annoyed)
Caller: “Sushant, Where the F$%# are you?”
Poor Me: Sorry lady, I’ll be there in a few minutes.
TGAIMB (Thing Going around in my brain): I am starting to feel like a call girl. (I can empathize with them)
Tring tring, tring tring…
Caller: “Sushant, Where the F$%# are you. Are you bloody stuck at the same red light, or is it that your lazy A$$ started late ?”
TGAIMB (Thing Going Around In My Brain): I wish, I never had this phone, or the car and I wish I never had ever fixed this date.
Poor Me: Yup, just there. Wait for a few more seconds.
TGAIMB: I know this bloody traffic jam will not leave my A$$ for another hour.
Tring tring, tring tring…
And now I switch off the phone. Phew!I try and take a U turn (and O that’s not possible). My left knee is aching by press the clutch too many times. And I have lost a client oops, a date (atleast for today). I turn up the volume and take a sigh of relief.
PS: Watching the cheer girls on TV was better than this date. :-o

Marketer's Job: Showing the money

A marketer's biggest dilemma is a client who misunderstands his service. " A writer who is in a hurry to be understood today or tomorrow runs the danger of being misunderstood the day after tomorrow ." ~ Johann G. Hamann Most of the times marketers face the challenge of being misunderstood. During the days when I was part of a startup, I felt that even if I'd break my head, the client will not really understand what my firm was offering and the benefits it gave.

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.
