Coloring is in and those of you, who thought that one can color only one’s hair and moustaches and perhaps bleach one’s skin hair need a reality check! Many would chide themselves for even thinking about getting a colorful palette for their pubic growth. But as they say ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, collective conscious needs (read aspirations) led Nanci Jarecki to create dyes that bid greys down there bye-byes! Her Betty™ is raking in mullah for coloring the “…….” And “……” of both females and males some as aged as 80 yrs old! (Adventurous people,  I say : D ).  If you aren’t happy with the shade Mother Nature gifted you then gift yourself a new one by choosing any from the range at Betty - Blonde, Brown, Aurburn and Black for the regulars and Malibu, Fun and Starburst as exoticas!

Just in case you thought, I m talking about some weirdo punky-kinky store (the internet is full of such online buying options) kindly note that, bettybeauty.com is  registered and quite a trusted company when it comes to customer satisfaction. Advertising Age did a feature on it and the concerned article in it describes the coming-into-beings and becoming-a-success of Betty. The company’s products are safe and tested by skin specialists. For the ordinary netizen the figure of over 100,000 happy customers and the company website’s beating out traffic numbers from competitors like Proctor and Gamble’s Clairol.com is a proof enough, of the site’s sanctity and product’s ingenuity! And besides buying it online, you can also get Betty at 300 retail salons in case you are tempted to try out that hot pink shade

Having said all that, I was just wondering if Betty (or other similar product) is ever launched in a country like ours what a national furore it would create (bigger than what Rakhi Sawant-Mikka episode did!). While on one hand, VHP will declare it against Hindu sentiments, the Maulvis will issue a fatwā against all those who will dare to become its customers!
(Here, I would like to apologize to all those who might find my criticism offensive). With a neat intent all I wanted to say was, in case you want to fulfill your desire to color your pubic hair Betty dyes are a safe bet.

Who must have not heard of the much respected and the much trusted name of Britannica Encyclopaedia? Well, the brand is planning to dust off itself to attune the processes of their working to meet the demands and requirements of the savvy reader. With that in mind, Britannica has launched itself into the blogosphere. Most would feel slightly awkward with a decision like that considering the long history of factual authority and cool-headed objectivity that follows Britannica. For me, it would indeed be very interesting to see this brandname with the reputation it has to throw off-the-cuff commentary and discussion-generating observations at the readers.
But the buzz is that Britannica has already begun to prove that its union with the world of blogs is awkward only in theory. Yes, the encyclopaedia is pulling prominent voices from various fields to promise an intelligent range of entries ranging from music to international affairs to ‘Diana and the Cult of Celebrity’.
Britannica’s education section will have regular posts from sharp-sighted brains like Joanne Jacobs and Karin Chenoweth. Yes, I do know it is great news for educators who wish to weigh in on current issues dominating their field.

Bollywood sells. Yeah, we already know that. But why don’t we talk about the same things all over again. For revision? Saif Ali Khan’s made an appearance in a new avatar, that of a rockstar. His performance with Parikrama in Mumbai two days back once again confirmed that for our countrymen, the Hindi film industry is the religion, the stars are the ‘bhagvaans’ and whatever they do is fashion enough for one to follow suit without even thinking twice.

The public will barely come for the music. What’s rock? A big stone, right! Yes, that is the status rock music has ‘enjoyed’ in our nation. In fact, those who have harbored a love for this kind of music know that it hasn’t lasted long. A rock band barely goes beyond one’s college years. And the smart ones who realized it in time made a clean switch to Bollywood. I’m talking about Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal & Shekhar, who come from a rock background and have added a fresh breath of air to Hindi music.

Parikrama is the only Indian band that lasted. But see, even they need a Bolly start to pull the crowds. Are we all really that music ignorant? I think rock should get the respect it so deserved in India.

The publicity tactics that brands use! Tasty Tees is the latest to have gone that extra mile to build its customers. They have come up with an interesting offer that none can miss and priced it quite reasonably at $7.
The method is simple. You mail them a T-shirt that you want one of their designs printed on. Choose the design and pay your $ 7 and in a few weeks they mail you back your shirt with the handprinted design on it. Agreed, the practice is a bit tedious for the company but it is sure earning them sincere customers. And they have priced the little exercise so well. The customer feels empowered because now, he or she can decide what their shirt will say for them. Now, isn’t that what the RDB generation needs so badly. It was always so difficult for one to pick a tee that defines one’s attitude; and Tasty Tees have provided them with best solution. In fact, it has already become a rage in Thailand with the “ladyboy” image as the most popular choice.

The riff on nationalities cannot be better described than this: The Chinese are known for copying than for inventing, Italians for designing shoes than taking prestige in breeding a Tuscan computer programmer. Following this, Russians knows well to rule the game of chess and make no efforts to engineer a children’s toy.

Germans can think of excelling only when the variables of high-performance automobiles are in control. The French prefer establishing their name in technologies that survives on bulky government subsidies.

The Japanese will also get their deserving acceptance only after the first-hand experience of the customers. Now, if through my conversation, I have affronted anyone then also you shouldn’t expect a word of apology from my side.

What has made me happy after a long is the fact that the Swiss Watch Federation’s vote against the term “Swiss Made” while producing timepieces.

Thankfully the tradition to label “Swiss Made” on watches made by foreign brands will not exist. Getting assembled all the component in Switzerland is no big deal to stamp it as “Swiss Made”.

Around 87% of the federation members are in favor of the tougher proposal under which at least 80% of mechanical watches and 60% of quartz has to be done in Switzerland to be stamped as “Swiss Made”.
