Hot Cross Buns for Easter!

Hot Cross Buns For Easter from The Legendary @Wengers, CP, Delhi…..

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,

If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons!

Greedy Fellow!

Since I was a Kid, I have been a Greedy fellow!!

Greedy for Gifts, Complimentary products, Buy One Get one (BOGO) Give Aways.

Be it Kissan Sauce, Maggi Noodles, 7UP Fido Dido Give aways etc.

Yesterday too while I was at Le Marche, Gurgaon. I spotted a Rack shouting to me… “Buy one 2Ltr Coke Bottle and get a Coca Co20130315_125621la Contour Glass free”

So, I picked 1, Then 2, Then 3. And then asked Gurleen “May I pick 3 more to make a set of Six…… I heard my Intelligent Wife’s Brain say NO!! But She spoke what her heart said… as she knew I was waiting to hear YES!!

So, now I have a Set of 6 Coca Cola Glasses and a Quota of Coke to last 3 months.

If any one of you is around…. feel free to drop in for a Glass of Coke in the new Glasses!!

As it is Said #Thori paagal panti bhi Zaroori hai

Disclaimer: Coca Cola did not pay me anything for this update.
Though I would not mind, if they did :-)

Look Around and Everybody is an Entrepreneur!!

 

This weekend… While going through my Old Pics….. I found some pics clicked by me at Karnal Bypass (A Small Town of Haryana, on the sides of NH1)

This was on a Saturday while we were on our way to spend a few days holidaying in Simla….and we had halted due to a long queue of Cars at the Toll Plaza.

Everything seems to be the same….. the Dust Flying around, Hawkers selling their wares, Blaring Horns, Two Wheelers trying to cross wherever they could find the way, unmindful of your car getting scratched.

And while I was having my Kurkure and Mountain Dew (My Staple Diet while driving long Distance)…I noticed a gentleman wearing a Kurta Pyjama and a Head Gear going from car to car seeking contributions with his usual Chant of “Shani Maharaj ki Jai ho”.

 

Nothing that we all have never seen before…… but something was unusual amongst this usual scene and I clicked some of his pics once he crossed us.

Need to mention that the Strike rate was 50…… Which meant he got a Contribution from every next car. Which is very very unlikely to happen in Delhi, Mumbai, or for that matter any Indian city.

Today, when i saw these pictures again…. I tried to spend some time on it and kept pondering and thankfully my effort paid off…..As I realised that he is a Fellow Entrepreneur.

One who has planned everything that he is doing and making calculated moves in a territory which is still unexplored!!

On closer Inspection I could see his strategy Unfolding. The Same is as Follows.

  • He has selected the Right Day of the Week i.e Saturday!
  • Wears the Right Clothes/HeadGear for you to treat him seriously & Dish out your Coins!
  • Rather than working in the Colony Streets, He prefers coming to Toll Plaza where the Density of Cars/People is High and results in more Business
  • He knows very well that due to high Highway Accidents, We Indians Remember our God often while travelling on the Highway and hence this is right place to ask for Money in the Name of God!
  • On a Highway….There is a 50% probability that you are travelling for a vacation. Means Good Mood which means Notes instead of Coins. So more Money for Business.

No Doubt he would have planned other Days accordingly tooo………….. In the Name of Some Other God, in some other Costume, in Some SUITABLE Other Area.

Lesson Learnt: Entrepreneur is not only a person who creates companies with his Knowledge but also every person who tries to Defy norms, Notices the Opportunity and Grab it at the RIGHT TIME.

He is there everywhere around us and inside us…… We just need to Spot, Observe, Learn and Execute!!

Kuch to hai is Tasveer mein,……….

Lambretta Bullet

Loved this Pic from my friend Shashank Aggarwal‘s Time Line.
Just one look and one can decipher so many Stories from it….

Couldn’t Resist and penned down a Few Lines in Hindi…..

Yeh Tasveer Dekh kar…….
Mere Andar ka kavi jaggta hai…..

Kuch to hai is Tasveer mein,
Jise Dekhkar, Shabdo ka Hujoom umarta hai…

Dono ka kuch ajab sa Rishta Lagta hai…..
Ek Aaj Ka Rajkumar, aur Dossra koi Purana Maharaja sa lagta hai….

Dekh ke Lagta hai, Maharaaj ne dekhi hai kayi Saddiyan….
Aur is par kabhi baithi hongi iske maalik ki kayi Sakhiyaan…

An-ginat sarrko se yeh Guzra hai….
Is iklauti aankh ne is Dilli ko aur is Parivaar ko badalte hue dekha hai!!

Aaj bhi Maharaj ke chehre par nahi hai Shikkan…..
Jaise iska maalik karta ho isse bahed Pyaar aur khilata ho isko makkhan….

Bahut kuch Maharaja kehna Chahte hai….
But kehte kehte aaknho mein aansoo aate hai aur kadam larkhara se jaate hain…..

Gaur se dekho….to lagta hai Rajkumar le rahe hai Mahaarj ki taraf jhuk kar Aashirwaad….
Aur Mano Maharaj bhi keh rahe ho.. “Beta, Shaan se Jiyo AAJ aur mere Jaane ke BAAD!!
