The Best Brand Manager of 2011-12: Poonam Pandey

Poonam Pandey Full Covered

Nobody knew Poonam Pandey before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Though, few had seen her in bikini in Kingfisher calendar or some Santa Banta like sites, no one bothered about her. Within a year, she marketed herself in such way that news magazines now publish her interviews. Apart from Google search which bring thousands of pages, you can also see the way she is making news by searching her in Google news. Poonam Pandey became the well known brand name for hot and bold Bikini Model in India.

During ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 she made a statement in Twitter that she will strip all her clothes in the stadium if India wins in the final. This grabbed the headlines in the TV channels and the news papers. It also made her to face the court case and protests from the women organizations at the age of 19 years. But she did not stopped making such statements and uploading hot photos in the Twitter. She concentrated on building a strong brand ‘a hot, sexy and bold Poonam Pandey’. She used cricket at the most to make a presence in the twitter. She offered sexy pictures when Kohli made 183, she uploaded her hot pictures when Tendulkar hit 100 centuries. Now she has 145399 followers in twitter and she claims google titled her as most downloaded model in the internet.

Poonam Pandey, not even a graduate from college, uses the best tactics of social media to be in news. She also makes the cricket analysts and the youngsters to quote her quotes. One of her non sexy decent tweet reads like this “Thanks to Rahul Gandhi for Tendulkar’s 100th 100. Had his grandmother not created Bangladesh, Sachin would not have got his ton”. She posted some hot photo in the Twitter and asked her followers to retweet it to encourage her post more and more pictures with lesser clothes. Her followers did it and she also kept her promise.

Don’t think she just uses her Twitter account to post some hot bikini pics of her own. Poonam Pandeey also tweets like a philosopher. If you want to follow a sexy philosopher, Poonam Pandey is there onTwitter. All her efforts of publicity worked well to make her in the top 10 of the Google Zeitgeist 2011 list of fastest rising celebrities in India, alongside Katrina Kaif and Anna Hazare.

Why Poonam Pandey can’t be considered as the Best Brand Managers of 2011-12?

Time to forget the hot debut of Vidya Balan in Dirty Picture. Now she is a pregnant widow in the kahani(Story) that happens within the movie Kahani, a complete female-centric movie. It is all about Bidya.. Sorry.. V V V V Vidya. Vidya Balan has not just played the role of Bidya Bagchi, she has become Bidya. Vidya Balan and her Kahani hold your attention through out the film without boring for a minute.

Mishap happens in the Kolkota Metro to leave hundreds dead. After two years of that mishap, pregnant Vidya comes from London in search of her missing husband. Everyone tries to convince her that her husband does not exist. She gets the help of earnest cop named Rana. She visits the National Data Center. The HR manager of NDC to which her husband supposed to visit recalls that there was an employee who left the job two years ago exactly looked like her husband. The HR manager is murdered. That makes the intelligence beuro officer arrive in to the scene. Then the story starts taking the turns. Finally she kills

Aishwarya Naked for penthouse magazine?

Is this Naked photo of Aishwarya Rai is real?

You might be curious to know whether the mail you had received or blogposts with this Naked photo of Aishwarya Rai, which claims it to be real is true or not.

The text in the photo reads: "It is not a computer generated photograph. It was published in Penthouse magazine 2004, and she took USD 4.5 million for the shoot".  Though this photo looks like real one, it is definitely a  fake photo. One of main reason is that there is no Aishwrya’s name in Penthouse pet’s list. Some people argue that this is real picture referring to Wikipedia, but remember Wikipedia can be edited by common readers like us.  Some claims that she was the pet of Feb 2004 and Penthouse tells that there was no pet for the month Feb 2004 in its website.

The person who worked on this photograph need to be appreciated. But while choosing the naked photograph he has done a mistake. Aish’s hands are not that much short like one which you can see in this naked picture. The experts tell that the mixing work can not be seen easily because the work is done along the necklace to hide any line or marks of editing.

The 3 Mistakes of My Life

the 3 mistakes of my life

You can not read it like a novel.

It is written as a script for a Bollywood movie.

Two fights: One at the beginning, to make readers understand how much the heroine Vidya’s brother, Ish loves her. Another at the climax, a friend of the hero Omi dies to save the twelve year old Muslim boy from his own uncle Bittoo mama. Inturn Bittoo Mama will be killed by the future Tendulkar, Ali. hitting straight sixes to his face.

Romance: The hero teaches maths to the sister of his friend. She does everything to attract him, he falls in love. They have sex on her 18th birthday when her brother is fully involved in watching cricket match. She tells “I’m no more a virgin” without a trace of guilt feel. They had sex 9 times in 2 months. She is a middle class Ahmadabad girl!

Item song: 100 topless women at Bondi beach of Australia; six were playing Frisbee. So there are 200 breasts to look at. Hero loves maths, he counts the breasts too.

Scenes you remember even after years: The member of a Hindu political party, kills the twelve years old Muslim boy, consuming marijuana, after his son’s death in Godra incident. The communal fight starts. At the same time, the hero’s cell gets an SMS from the girl stating that she got her periods and no need to worry. Her brother reads it as the cell is with him. There are many other ready-made scenes for the director adopting this book for a movie.

Writing something on Indian Religion system and communal riots is far tougher than writing CAT. Author should have done more homework on these issues. One will enjoy reading the story lines with cricket and love. But to enjoy the political issues of the story, you need to be inclined to left or be a pseudo secular. Every political and riot events tries to convey Hindu party workers are devils. I believe the author should have balanced the views on the religions and left the decision to the readers.

The book says only Hindu party workers are devils, not Muslims. The book is at safer side, not to get banned.

An Evening with Chetan Bhagat

Chetan Bhagat, the author of the best seller “Five Point Someone”, was there at Big Bazaar- Old Madras Road , Bangalore to promote his new book “The 3 Mistakes of My Life”. The event was organised by ‘The Depot’, the stationary and book store partners of Big Bazaar on the evening of 18th May, Sunday. The young fans of Chetan got a great opportunity to discuss with him and get his autograph.

I’m recalling some of the discussion here:

Chetan avoided calling him as young icon. He told he liked to be called as an author of all ages without confining himself to young metro readers. One participant questioned him why he likes number in the titles(‘Fve’ Point… ‘One Night... The '3' Mistakes…). He answered he is an engineer and every engineer likes number.

Most interesting question on Five Point Someone was whether it was a true story. He told some scenes in the story were happened in his college life. But not hundred percent true. The ice-cream parlor and the railway tracks scene were some true parts. The story also related to few of his friends which he can’t disclose. He accepted the fact that another Five Point Someone one is not possible for him. Chetan is also an IIM graduate, but he is still fond of IIT. This is because nobody can enjoy their post graduation life like their UG life.

After the success of the first book he wanted his writing to reach other than the people of IIT or engineers or a group of young adults, which made him to write "...call center".  Call from the god was an unbeatable novel idea in the novel One night @ The Call Center. He could reach most of the young metro readers through this book. This will be soon on silver screen as a Bollywood film by Atul Agnihotri casting Salman Khan.

To reach the suburban readers, Chetan wrote his third book with the three very common matters of everyday life of an Indian- business, cricket and religion. He hopes to reach the non metro readers through this book. The story happens in Gujarat, a state known for business, cricket and religion. The communities mentioned in the book accepted the books so far and he didn't face any disputes till now.

I'm reading 'The 3 Mistakes of My Life' now. I will post a review soon.
