A corporate story called Religion

Image
It is said religion unites people, culture, region, may be nations and political agendas. The purpose of religion, as subtly expressed by Dalai Lama, is to control one self not to criticise others. A meaningful statement which gets used, overused, abused, underused by various strata of cults and groups to achieve their respective interests. In a pragmatic world, like the modern one, religion is a means to get one's end. Some may say its a theory while other's may agree that religion is a method and practice. Few modern thinkers believe that religion is a date on a calendar which gives rest to people from their daily chores. Holidays always substantiate the spendings in tourism, travel, food etc. The data seekers who always find things with measuring units. Even abstract things like religion, empathy, love also to them would give grounds for measurements and datas which leads to read behaviour of people in general. For example a fair estimate suggests there are abou...

Culture Story- Tet Sum Vay

Image
Story telling is an art which in digital age gets enhanced when infused with technology. Belief is key in all cultures but rituals and practices differ. Armed with these thoughts I set up to meet Pepsi Vietnam team, who this season had once again taken the initiative to bring Vietnamese families together with their CSR activity called Tet Sum Vay. Tet is the lunar new year celebrated in South East Asia to mark the months journey coordinated by the cycles of moon. Lunar calendar has more or fewer than 13 months unlike the solar calendar which has fixed 12 months. Sum Vay means family reunion. So what is significance of Tet Sum Vay? Having worked in APAC for a decade had the occasion of learning and seeing cultural activities in the region. The learnings were list of holidays each country enjoyed which allowed people to meet their families often. In comparison Vietnam has holidays on labour day, Ho-Chi Minh's Birthday & Independence day, both are...

What is Danet?

Image
A name holds a very important feature in a person's life and in a product's life. From your name one can create a brand. While I took my journey to find and define my course of work, after departing from KL, I made my arrival in Hanoi. The picturesque landscape held my view but the practical side nudged on to find a suitable vocation. I chanced upon meeting two creative, individuals, Hanh & Binh and their new baby Danet. On asking what is Danet, Binh said, it means "God is my judge, its a hebrew version". And the insight was for any kind of creative work, audience is the best judge. Hanh chirped in, Yes and also "its an old english girl's name. "Though Vietnam is called the fatherland but women exercise their rights equally, freely and successfully & Danet is an inspiration to new creative form in digital media for everyone. http://www.danet.vn/go For me it was a god send prayer. Every creative wants to get their work published its...

OH! Kolkata

Image
When Calcutta becomes Kolkata,  I traveled to see the change. Since declaring its independence from the United Kingdom in 1947 after years of colonial rule, a number of India’s big cities have undergone name changes as their states underwent reorganization. Capital of West Bengal-India, is the union of  race, moment and milieu. In Jan 2001, the name was restored back to Kolkata from Calcutta. In the alphabetical order many intelligent people remarked that it was a silly mistake. One should not swap a Capital C with K, it might push back the economic parameter of the state. Well so the people said but the decision was carried out. So I looked into the old tales of how the name Calcutta came into use. One story was that   three village blokes  were lazing under a tree when a  British troup arrives and they enquire, pointing at the paddy fields- "What's the name of the place?" but villager's misinterpret the question to (when was the paddy cut) and an...
