Happy New Year 2012

Another new year dawns on us. 2011 was another interesting year with a lot of things happening. (Ofcourse 365 days in a year is quite sufficient for all sort of events). Each year brings ups and downs which leads us in having amazing set of memories and experiences. Hope 2012 brings another amazing set of experiences, hopefully good ones

Flight 29 Down

Have been watching Flight 29 Down - the series lasted for 2 seasons with each season containing 13 episodes. After two seasons, the last of the series (4 episodes) was released as a movie. The nice thing about KTV is that all the 30 episodes were shown in one go over a period of one month.

Watching Flight 29 Down

Watching KTV 2 (Kuwait Television Channel 2); one of the tv series I am watching, is 'Flight 29 Down'. Reminds me of 'Lost'. It is about a group of high school kids stranded on an island after crashing landing due to a storm. This series is about the experience of the high school kids surviving each day on the island until rescue arrives.

Breaking Laziness

 It's seems like ages since I have posted on the blog.Trying to break into the habit of writing. Working out on what to post. Still getting things cleared out within my head (Getting a clear picture).

Ads at Pharmacy

Recently I visited a Pharmacy in Bangalore and noticed a monitor with advertisements. I enquired about it and came to know that it is a new kind of promotion/business model. This is being implemented in 100 pharmacies in Bangalore. The advertising company provides the 20 inch Viewsonic monitor (with in built memory) on a refundable deposit of Rs 10,000 paid by the pharmacy. In return, the pharmacy get Rs 500 per month from the advertising company. The advertising company updates the ads every month. The advertising company makes money from the advertisers which are usually pharmaceutical companies. The monitors currently were showing some health facts. I am guessing that this is an effective means as people do spend few minutes at the Pharmacy purchasing their medicines.

Throwing into Dustbin

I was returning home and a couple of people walking before me were having some flyers in their hands. After reading they dropped it onto road and footpath while the dustbin was just a few steps away. What was strange was that they were not the only people doing so and the road & footpath looked like a mess.

Flyers are a way of advertisement for any business establishment - big or small. The only best thing I like about flyers is that they are made of Recycled papers. Any shop, market, clinic, restaurant and even individuals use these flyers for advertisements. They are distributed on the roads, infront of ones house, masjids, churches, markets etc...

I remember another incident on Brigade road Bangalore quite a while ago. I was walking with my friend Silv3rStag and we had just finished eating a sandwitch. We have a habit of dropping the sandwitch wraps or any kind of paper into a dustbin but in this case couldn't find one. We had to walk upto a restaurant and drop it into a dustbin available there. Recently when I dropped by on Brigade road, I found that dustbins were placed at every few meters. The logo on the dustbin was of McDonald's. So finally when McDonald's recently opened its Brigade branch, it was the only one which thought of putting dustbins throughout the Brigade road compared to the old and existing brand names. Also Brigade road has a shopping association which make major decisions with regard to lighting and decorations on that road and hadn't thought about it.

People need to put a little more effort to keep their own surroundings and environment clean. People need to think of how they pay so much attention to their homes as compared to the surroundings.

Launch of a new sister blog

I have launched a new sister blog which talks about my view of Kuwait and its happenings. I will be talking about the malls and upcoming skyscrapers and other things with regard to Kuwait. I thought of it to be more better to keep everything with relation to Kuwait in one blogs separately. This blog will still continue on with all of the happening in general and my views. I am planning for other views but let's see how things shape up. So here is the link Fraz's View on Kuwait.
