Great mind at work!



Now this is what I call a great MBA's marketing mind at work!

This poster, seen at the Philips cafeteria near where I work, had me in splits the first time I saw it. I wonder if there is a tiny possibility that the person who coined this 'We squeeze to please' tagline really had no idea of its sexual connotations. And the 'Juices 'n' More' doesn't help either. I am convinced that the guy had a stroke genius, or has a really sad life.

To this day, I cannot keep a straight face as I say to the person at the counter,"Ondu water melon juice kodi". And add mentally, "freshly squeezed please!".

Gurgaon

Since around a week I am in Gurgaon, the technology capital of North India. Some quick observations: 1. Gurgaon is DLF. DLF is Gurgaon. They have built the whole freakin' township. Everything else is just support and built after that. 2. The public transport cannot be called worse than anywhere else in India. Because it doesn't EXIST. 3. Well ok, that was an overstatement.

Delhi is not that far off, thanks to the Delhi metro's extension. I have no idea how Delhites coped before the metro. Seriously. Cars, I believe. Couldn't see the famed T3 at the Delhi airport. Perhaps when I take off from here..

ReactOS

Image
Please click on the Image to enlarge it. What seems so special about the screenshot? It seems that somebody just clicked on "start" in windows. So whats the fuss and why am I writing a post about it? Well, it turns out that (surprise!) it is not windows at all, but an operating system called ReactOS . To quote the ReactOS site verbatim "ReactOS® is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows® XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows® architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture". ReactOS is doing something unimaginable to me till some time ago, reverse engineering the whole windows opertating system itself! . And all the while maintaining compatibility with windows. Right now it claims that it is in pre alpha stage, but already it has many features like remote desktop, e...
