What I learn from Parle-G

Parle-G, who don't know that name in India. Home or Office, Birthday's or a casual visit, morning snacks or evening tea breaks. Good times or days of struggle. Parle-G is always there to help you. 

Those were good old days, all play, all fun, fighting with siblings and turn to be a sweet boy if mother is watching. My uncle used to visit us every now and then and each time he made sure to come with one packet of Parle-G biscuit. He happen to be a first class academician.

Actually this was the only packet I was allowed to accept from a guest, else, any other thing brought by anyone was completely not allowed. When I little grew up and my other uncle and sisters taught me counting I counted biscuits inside. Then I counted again in next week, then perhaps in next week. And I concluded 12 biscuits for Rs. 2.

I did all divisions, multiplications, subtractions and additions around my cookies.

To a young chap the Print of Child on the packet was a catch. I used to think why after opening packet and when I keep it safe after taking my quota of 2 the child on the packet do not eat, Many times I counted next day from the remaining and found the child is loyal to cookies.

I regret growing up, uncle stopped bringing biscuits for me. And further I got jealous because uncle again started bringing same packet but now not for me, now that goes to young kids in the house.

Time passes as usual and casual. A shopkeeper asked how going work, you are IT guy. I said recession is hitting every industry, I work for different clients. He asked what you do extra, I said I do blogging, it does not make money or very less money but gives me identity and references.

The other guys said, that's important. You cannot think about making money from everything. See parle-G has many products but it did not stopped selling biscuit of Rs. 2 a packet. They are reaching to everyone by that measure. See any shampoo company, together with bottles they make sure to sell shampoo packets of Rs one or two cost.

And I was like, hey, now do not get Rs. 2 biscuit pack from my uncle any more.

But that pack told me one thing, for rupees 2 you can get this N numbers of biscuits only while N is a variable.

Build your brand with respect

"Respect is a thing that you wear round the clock. Whether you are at home, you are in office or simply you are doing nothing under silent skies. Respect is earned, you cannot trade respect for something money, power or social connections. Respect is built slowly; it's a byproduct of learning. Learn, learn, learn." Businesses are built around humans. Many personal brands come and join hands together to build that big brand which makes a difference and makes people's lives better. Many personal brands when joined with due respect build a great product, it could be anything towards any direction and it adds values. Take any example from any sphere of life, personal, professional or business and you will find that that big name that earned this much level of respect was backed by so many personal brands, so many helping hands, so many people in small and big capacities. Business branding is not only about catchy punchlines, lively graphics and number of connections. Of c...
