Peeing Behavior of Some PR Agencies in India

I received this funny email from Sporshi. i liked it so much that i thought of putting it on my blog.

Peeing Behavior of top PR agencies in India as observed by an unknown person in the loo during a PRCAI Summit:



1. Person walks into the loo...looking very uncomfortable..looks around and then runs out..he was spotted doing the same thing over and over again..till finally he ended up peeing in his pants...(employee of Vaishnavi - they are taught to hold on to their Pee as they can be needed anytime by the TATAs)

2. A smartly dressed person walks in enquires if there is a special loo for IT consultants..getting no answer he looks around and then walks out looking disgusted and frowning on others who were using the loo...(employee of Text100 - they expect special treatment everywhere they go...he was later seen sleeping next to the commode..they usually get drunk and behave like this)

3. A person very casually walks in sees that all the urinals are taken..he walks to the basin and pees in that..(employee of the Hanmer & Partners)..they don't really care about how and where they do it..they take the brief and then somehow they do what they have been asked to do...

4. Two buddies walk in together joking and laughing about some new client they have conned..seeing that there is only one urinal available...they both decide to use the same urinal and pee together...(employees of Perfect Relations..they truly stand for team work and take pride in conning people)..

5. A very formally dressed person walks into the loo..he opens his bag..takes out his measurement flask..walks to the urinal and then pees in the flask..measures the pee in the flask and then throws it...(employee of Genesis..very professional and process oriented..they are taught to measure everything they do...infact these guys don't get paid if they don't measure their pee and report it online..they are also forced to buy their own measurement flask and sometimes they have to measures their bosses flasks as well.....

Three of My Fish Died

I have got an aquarium last Sunday, and with in 5 days three of my fish are dead. :( I even changed water and cleaned the aquarium yesterday still I found my last goldfish dead and laying in a corner. :(
I am left with only three fish now. Honestly speaking (read writing) I was sad when my first two fish died but, I think, then I become little used to it, I was not as that sad when I found this other gold fish dead today morning. :/ I simply picked it up and was about to flush when my husband asked me to put it in dustbin.

I have been talking to all my colleagues who have pets (fish) and taking lecture on how to take better care of fish. I have made some pointer and one of them is Gold Fish Are Not For Trainee Aquarium Owners.
So, now I am planning to buy some more fish one of those rough and tough ones. Let’s see how long they live to get my love. :)

What a lazy woman i am!

Yesterday while talking to Bidya, a HR Consultant, I realized how underpaid I am. I have been working like an ant all day long, servicing four technology clients for a meager salary.I sat there thinking, why on the earth am I putting up with this job? Is it because I love my job? Or is it coz I love my clients or my boss or the company? What is it actually? Then I pondered deeper as deep as I could ;-), what the hell, the reason is I am too lazy a bum to look for new job:-/. Infact to share my resume! Pathetic! People from good PR agencies been approaching me and I give silliest of the reasons for not sending my resume, as I will have to update it.
Man! I have got to do something about it! Gotta ask my husband to update it for me :P :D

So Much To Do, So Little Time

Hmm, while twittering today, I realized, I have to do so many thing. I have to join back my guitar classes which I quit few months back for no apparent reason.. Second session of my salsa classes will begin from this Friday. (They have raised the fee too :( ). In addition I am not very happy with my current tattoo. It’s too small. I wonder if it looks like a butterfly or a moth. So I have decided to get one more and this time I going to get a lot bigger tattoo, on my lower back. I have decided the design too. Now, I just have to convince my husband as he thinks I will get some sort of infection or something.
I have just read some where today, I can’t recall where, it says 20 years down the line you will be unhappy for the things you did not do now than for the thing you did do.
So, my god, I have to do so many things. Just thinking where to start from?? :)

PR 2.0 or Marketing, I don't care! Let me work


Yesterday I did extensive research for how to go about doing PR 2.0 for a mobile launch. I consulted some bloggers and my twitter social media expert friends and all the possible people I could. Well, my team wanted to invite bloggers to some place for product launch. Since, most of them were not based out of this region and this phone is a not-so-well-known-brand. So we had two options:

Pay for their flight tickets and hotel bills ( but still were not sure that they will come)

OR
Engage them by some online activity
The online activity could be something like send some top bloggers a handset for review and explore an opportunity to run a contest on those respective blogs. The winner (1-2 or what ever my boss decides) will get a handset. We could run this parallel on the client’s website too.

I said, this will possibly result in to links and can get viral. We will get good online visibility.

A senior colleague of mine jumped in to a conclusion before I could finish. He said,’ oh you don’t know what is PR 2.0 what ever you are saying is marketing.’ You know I am a social media expert and I have bashed many well know bloggers but they haven’t said anything, and he jabbered name of some well know blogger.

Well I did not fight back but I was thinking yaahhh!! right they did not reply coz what ever you write on I am sure will be such a tiny thing that no one apart from you will ever come across it. And besides they know there are many dumb creatures like you and prefer to ignore negligible things like you.

Well, so much so, we are not going ahead with Social media campaign; I was so excited about.
