Already?

A certain somewhere did I see or I was asked to write- my batch year in SCMS(UG). And it was 2007-2010.
In the next few hours I opened the papers to see new year party advertisements in 5 star hotels -"Seduction 2010", "Bollywood Mischief" and "The Experience".And then I thought, "Why can't they ever have decent names?!".
Finally,it struck me.

Last 3 months of college life.
And then, its over. I will be a graduate. End of grad school.
I have not yet come to terms with it. It will take time to sink in. Maybe sometime when I am writing my last set of exams, will it hit me. I hope not though.

Comebacks

There is something about them. The attached glory that they bring. It stays more inside of you than outside. But it stays with you forever and for every minute that you are alive. It stays with you because you know that you were great in delivering to the situation, which was a do or die, completely and perfectly. Because you didn't let yourself die. Because you created something for yourself which will inspire you for your entire lifetime.

We all have made come backs. Some aggressive, some restrained and some well planned. And we know how difficult it is. Imagine, how a comeback for a company will be!
Human resource integration to the maximum and leadership personified. This is what really pulls me towards such cases.

With the cadbury disaster of germs infestation in 2004, the then marketing manager played a superstroke by having none other than Mr. Amitabh Bacchhan endorse the brand and support it on national television by taking a tour of the factory. Cadbury sales were back to normal within a year.

General Motors India marketing and after sales head Mr. Ankush Arora and his team launched a new Chevrolet model just a week after GM filed for bankruptcy in the United States in 2007. This left the media, the public and the competitors shell shocked. It gave the consumers the feeling that Chevrolet, contrary to popular misconception, is going to be around.

McDonalds. What more is to say? In a country where deceitfully being fed beef causes rage, humiliation and sometimes a mutiny, McDonalds pulled off the same sales figures within a 6 month period after being accused of using beef in cooking oil. Cheers to Ronald McDonald.

Some people might think that all this is, is making mistakes and then fooling people. Well , I would say that this is growth. We all goof up. But the player who wins, is the one who can reconcile, reintegrate and reconnect the fastest.

These are the number of posts I have put up on my blog this year(including this one). And it sums up to be 25. Which makes it around 2 posts a month which is fairly decent. But for those of you who know me, I bet you are already laughing. 9 in March, but 0 in May! Well what can i say? 36% of my blog was written in the month of March. (Financial Year end adjustments?) Ha!

Well and now that I have realised that the average is coming to 2 posts per month, I am slowly wanting to turn that figure to 3. (Calendar Year end adjustments).

So a desperate attempt this December would be to try to at least close in to the 3 figure mark with good, valid, reasonable posts. (Basically no bullshiting).
So the challenge stands. Eleven more posts in eight days. And all of them should make perfect sense.Hmm.

Well this whole excercise really stands for how I do most things in my life. Not very consistent.

Anyway, I have to say, that writing in this part of the year is exciting and easy too. It's Santa time. And yea of course, new year resolutions, parties, calendars(and i am NOT talking about the swimsuit ones) and lots more. So keep reading my blog. A lot is in store this winter. I hope to monetize it some day. (Sindhi blood.Ha!)

PS: A new year resolution found. It's called "Being consistent in 2010".
