Let’s spread the word!

Now that I have taken the blogger’s oath to regularly come up with (hopefully) interesting accounts, what comes to my mind is who are my readers. Like a good marketing student, let me chart out my marketing program. WOM ‘word of mouth’ stands first in the list. And Melanese must have done his worth of job :-)

I have recently noted with some amount of interest the opening of a branch of Rameshwar at New Baneswor. This eatery has not had to spread the word, possibly because fragrance travels faster. The ever busy road, where you need to honk the horns to travel through the maze of pedestrians seems ideal location for this eatery. It is just next doors to a local cinema hall, and I presume, it offers its delicacies to movie viewers before and after the movies! Now, if I were to model my advertising based on this eatery, I should have someone put up the link to my blog in someone’s site which sees a lot of traffic. Or shouldn’t I?

But for now, spread the word. I would be surprised if I see new slogans on tshirts that look something like, Log on to http://vidwata.blogspot.com. (just kidding!!!!)

We are open!

It has been long since I wrote something. Well, last night when I was about to fall asleep, I wondered if it were possible that thoughts that ran wild in my mind could be translated into words digitally, such that when I woke up I would find a nice mess of a story, which I would gleefully edit.

However this is not to be. I read it somewhere that like a shopkeeper must open his shop daily and wait for his customers, a writer must sit down and muse while waiting for words that would come out to become stories. So, let me open my shop!

Well, since I suffer from a disease called unpunctuality, I wonder how regularly will I be opening this shop of mine. But as they say there is lots of power in motivation, I hope Annie’s frequent inspirational notes and Melanese’s bickering will keep this business an ongoing concern.

So, let me take an oath, that next time I read a book as stirring as ‘Tin Ghumti” (by BP Koirala), watch a movie as engaging as ‘Monalisa Smile’ (starring Julia Roberts) or draw out philosophical meanings while attending MIS or TQM lectures I will share my musings with you.

KIT and Keep reading, the shop is going to stay open now!
