5 ways festive times can be used for networking

Born in family of  a farmer, I have seen many festival days over a year. To me festival means some elders will be invited over meal, may be one, ten or hundreds. My basic understanding about festival was when many grand parents from neighborhood will come to our home, priest will come to  offer prayers to God and then meal will be served. Kids will be asked to maintain silence or go in the open and play with aunts.
Ah, those were the good old days. Those days taught me a lot specially discipline and respect to elders. Do not raise fights with other kids was also a norm.
Very soon during my teens I realized we have many festival over the years. So for me best festive season were from Christmas to New Year; vacations, no homework, study what you want, when you want and enjoy crispy foods throughout the day. Crispy sweet delicacies were made specially during winters.
I started living alone during teens and became part of Metro cities. In all big cities I observed Diwali is celebrated in very high spirit. Many people call it a way of networking. My childhood festival time is arriving soon, In a span of Ten Days we are going to celebrate Christmas and New Year. Though there are no leaves from work like old days but I am pretty sure to enjoy my fair share again and here is the beginning.

5 ways festive times can be used for networking

1. Show your cooking skills. Personally I believe, if you are human and live in a civilize society you know to cook at least one recipe. Invite your friends and friends of friends; cook, serve and share on the tunes of your favorite song.

2. Send E-Greeting Cards to everyone. SAVE TREES. If you not a social media person then too you may have thousands of email addresses. Greet All. Extending a hearty wish is not a sin.

3. Teach Neighborhood Kids. Chose a holiday, go to the neighborhood and teach kids some good habits. It could be cleanliness or save environment or may be some algebra if the St. APJ Abdul Kalam is your forefather. 

4. Go for charity. If you are fortunate enough you may find some NGO near you. Talk to them and join the work. Also you can count of temples, mosques and churches or Gurudwara etc.

5. Organize or Take Part in Events. During festive times many events happen in and around us. Also you can organize your own. If you are organizing and even post event schedules in your local city directory, so many people can join you. 

KEEP YOUR BUSINESS CARD READY TO HANDOVER TO NEWLY MADE FRIENDS.

Wishing you all readers Merry Christmas and Very-Very Happy New Year

Qualities in a brandable domain name

Branding is not just a word; in one line i would define it as branding (b) = efforts (e) x trust (t). To say its very simple in practice its not easy. Building mountain high trust need seamless efforts. To establish a brand, it take generations, and demolish it take nothing more than fraction of a second and bad intents. In this side of world TATA is a brand, it represents not only an industry logo but also when you seen it somewhere on the walls, in back of your mind you know what TATA stands for.

Valentine's day: An opportunity to thrive in career

 The month of February, precisely 14th February, gives us a chance to live in the present, accept change and embrace new opportunities. Generally, supposed as a festival of young adults, beyond common beliefs, the festival is for everyone who can spread a message of love and peace, who can share a smile. Life is all about partnership, without partnership it should be boring, then there shall happen no competition, you will do everything alone and you will always stand a winner. Imagine going out with your best friend, shake hands with small children, sharing your portion of meal with someone sitting on a street corner, asking change, hiding best handwritten card in your best friend notebook reading something truly lovely, gifting a rose to your parents, playing an indoor game with your siblings, or taking an initiative to clean the seas, would not these acts be ultra satisfying? To join a celebration is a personal choice, to celebrate any day or not is fundamental human rights, cre...

Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...
