I have always been fascinated by my own Google results. Call it narcissist, but I am concerned about what I am linked to, and who is linked to me (pun totally intended). My results (all 184 of them at this moment) vary from positive, vague, to totally misleading. My postive results throw up my LinkedIn [...]

Last Saturday evening, I spent around four hours with some of the friendliest, most unassuming bunch of people I have met in a long time. Which is surprising, considering I was at the IndiBloggers offline meet in Delhi. And Bloggers, as their reputation suggests, are a volatile and unpredictable bunch of people. “True, Bloggers around [...]

Slogging versus Blogging

Posted: February 1, 2007 by noshtradamus in Blatant Self Promotion

I’m often faced with the tough task of finding a work-bloglife balance. Sharing my thoughts for money, versus sharing my thoughts nothing. And usually, as my last stretch of silence on this blog would indicate – slogging for money wins out! The other thing is, most people think blogging doesn’t require any thought of effort [...]

I’ve been using Blogger for a while now to air thoughts, opinions and news I gather about communication in general. It has been great, and I have a huge number of shy people reading my blog regularly. Yes, I’m saying shy because while the comments are few and far between, Statcounter tells me there are loads [...]

Reading my previous post on the ICCO Global Summit a lot of people asked ‘what on earth was I doing at a Summit for PR professionals??’ I mean, I am a student of economics, with a hardcore advertising and marketing background, and I’m now making a living out of strategic design and new media consultancy… [...]

So, How you doin’ ?!

Posted: December 3, 2005 by noshtradamus in Blatant Self Promotion

It’s perhaps one of the most redundant question we’re asked every day… wherein the person who asks will perhaps get surprised, if you answer the question – truthfully, that is! My question is, how many of us actually ask ourselves this question? And how many of us can actually answer ourselves truthfully? Highs, Lows, Delights, [...]

Doing it finally

You can read about it. You can talk about it. You can even recommend it to friends and family. But it all means nothing, if you haven’t done it yourself.   I’m talking about blogging. And I’m talking about it on my very own blog – Cheers!     Now having put that initial excitement [...]
