Worlds Collide

Worlds Collide “The world is a book; those who do not travel read only a page.” Where does the world end? Some say it is the earth. Some say it is at the end of time-where you see tomorrow just over the horizon as today ebbs away. I say the earth is your world not everyone’s. Today is your world not everyone’s. Those before us have also experienced the world. Those further from us have also experienced the world. What we experienced is our world, not everyone’s. There are no boundaries just limits to imagination.  When you change something in your world, your butterfly effect changes parts of some others. Our world too is limitless. You just have to connect your world with everyone else’s. You have to work to expand it. You have to enter everyone’s world. The only people in your world are those whose worlds you unknowingly stumbled upon.   Every world is a blend of reality and wishful thinking. We try to shape our world how we think it should be. Up ...

A Spoonful of Spice

A Spoonful of Spice Italian Cuisine  “First we eat then we do everything else” I couldn’t agree more with this quote by M.F.K Fisher.  Food plays such a central part in our lives and when it comes to Italian food being one of the most popular and widely adopted cuisines all over the world. How many of us have dreamed of casting aside everyday life and running off to a villa in Tuscany to soak up perfect sun-dappled views while the wine flows and the pasta bowl never seems to empty? Unfortunately that dream is usually rudely interrupted by the alarm clock. While we may not be able to do much about the lack of gorgeous vistas, the true flavors of Italy can be brought to life anytime and anywhere. When you think “Italy,” of course you think “delicious food”. While this is an accurate thought, Italian cuisine is not just delicious, but distinguishes itself from the rest.  I consider that tasting a traditional food in a foreign country is one of t...

Seven Roads To Hell

Seven Roads To Hell  Antarctica  “Captain Hoover, the observation satellite has been showing some weird symbols 1.27 miles North West of our current location. It seems to be like a hut.” “A hut! Here? Who would want to live here of all places?” “I don’t know but the satellite has never been wrong before. It would be a good idea to check it out.” Captain Hoover; It felt nice to be called that. I had been assigned to this location two days ago. My promotion had been due for quite some time now. I felt no small amount of pride. It had last a full of 2 minutes before I was told that the location would be Antarctica. I needed to go and confirm the presence of the hut. I packed supplies for one week before setting off. The biting wind sliced my cheeks as I made my way towards the hut. After waking a mile or so, I could make out the silhouette of the thatched roof. There were footprints leading inside.so I called out, “Hello?” I didn’t really expect a response ove...

Friendship Bands

Friendship Bands Dear four-legged friend,     I cannot thank the moment enough when I spotted you struggling to get out of that pothole and I was there to help you get out. Ever since then, you have helped me get out of all the potholes, deep and shallow, in my life.     Unlike humans, you don't judge me when I am ranting or dancing or yelling or crying or laughing or behaving in the most immature way I possibly can. One lick from you is all I need to get over my day, be it a rough one or a great one. I love how you melt me by simply staring at me with your liquid eyes even when I'm mad at you. Also, the little things you do to cheer me up may not always make me that happy but they surely do put a wide smile on my face.     You're my diary, my best friend and my family that I will continue to love, no matter what. Thank you for making me the centre of your world and scaring away all the problems in the world (quite literally). Simple words could ...

Ballyhoo

Ballyhoo It is often very hard to come up with a catchy phrase that offends no one, reflects your company’s core competencies and drives growth and sales. Very few brands have been largely successful doing this and no brand has been largely successful without this. This list contains the best ballyhoo that has helped companies become who they are currently and what we can learn from them. APPLE: “Think Different” First featured in Apple’s ‘Here’s to the crazy ones’ advertisement, this short and emotive slogan showed the world that they were not just another computer company and made themselves into a brand to be reckoned with. WHAT WE CAN LEARN: What you think of doesn’t need to be a witty rhyme or a twist of words. It can be two simple words that we use every day that leave an impact on your company’s standing forever. SKITTLES: “Taste the Rainbow” I could not think of a slogan better suited for a candy company such as skittles. It emphasises on their colo...
