AIG still investing in India!!!!!!

In this kind of financial chaos, AIG can pride itself in getting free advertising. And in India the name comes alongside SBI, what better show of power of brand can happen for a company which is struggling to survive.



And just for reference, you just need to click into the link and check the article for the error rectification. The journos are so pre-occupied with AIG name that instead if mentioning IAG, they end up mentioning AIG. Luckily in the article the mistake has not been repeated in the content, else we would have seen TATA fuming heavily upon AIG management.

Long live the errors like these giving unasked for advertising and PR without spending even a single penny

So far so good......

hmmmm it has been a long time since my last post.....just over ten months....

So just had a feeling that before the year comes to an end.....I should make my return....

By the end of this month.....I shall be completing 2 years in Bangalore......i would say the longest stay yet in any city over past 5 years by Highwaystar.....

And on 5th Nov, 2008...finally the local RTO caught up with me and my car......and now I will have to pay the local differential road tax....[I sincerely hope that after paying that today, I get a smooth ride on Bangalore roads...without any potholes....else whats the point in paying Road tax]. I would say "Ab aaya oont pahaar ke neeche".

This year has seen me joining a new company - a startup....hoping that it works out well :) so far the journey I would say has been good.....stumbling blocks are there...which will always be expected in a start-up.....but hopefully slowly all these will be sorted out.. :)

Nine pins have been falling at a rapid pace this year.......

This year has seen me travelling from Jodhpur to Thrissur....yet again...and some more trips planned around.... :)

Thrissur trip was like something which I will keep recalling...for the way I managed to reach there......3 bus changes......and one section from Bangalore to Coimbatore....I was sitting on the bus floor (luckily was a Volvo)......then from there one rickety bus to Palakkad.....and another change in Palakkad....one more rickety bus to Thrissur.... :) it was one journey to remember.... [Book tickets on time :P]

and now 2 months 2 trips is the gut feel I have is going to be minimum......can become 3 too :D

I would say...the journey is still beginning :)

And am sure more is too follow now on..... :)
