Seen the pug lately?

I have recently switched to Hutch and since then I have been struggling with it's bad network. Pretty amusing, since this brand was built on a memorable (and hugely popular) 'pug' campaign which was all about how the pug (network) follows you wherever you go.

Yesterday, while we were going back home, I got a couple of phone calls..but couldn't talk as the network kept coming and disappearing. I was pissed off.Standing there, a campaign idea came to my mind...
Imagine 20 second clips which just show how the pug is ill and has no more the energy to follow people around.

So you will have the first clip showing him just struggling to run, stopping every some time to catch a breath. The clip will end with just a line, nothing more:
The pug is not keeping well.






Another clip will show him lying on a couch, trying to stand but again struggling...message at the end:

The pug is not well.




It is said that a good idea is one that naturally gives birth to multiple ideas..the Hutch idea qualifies, it seems ;-)

Puneet, my friend..

I show my blog to Puneet. He reads, pours out some characteristic obscenities and declares that this 'creating-forgetting' does happen unless you are 'Puneet Pandey'!

Aha, so puneet has a blog! Interesting, I never knew. I ask Puneet to show it to me..he says defensively ' there's nothing there..' but I want to see it anyhow. I ask him for the URL. He says it's on e-blogger.net.. I open e-blogger.It is not a blogging site. For the next 5 minutes, Puneet frantically searches for his blog..He remembers naming it 'Chaiwala'. Tries google. There are numerous chaiwala blogs. Opens up a few links, reads a little and closes the chapter with 'people write a lot of interesting shit..'

Ladies and gentleman,that's mrpuneetpandey for you!

Mental Blog?

This is not the first blog that I have created..If this one doesn't work out, I will never try creating one ever again, I suspect.

The problem starts with the name. First, I try to think of something smart. But with millions of people already having blogs, the chances of coming up with a previously unthought of 'smart name' are remote. After several tries, I get irritated. Blogger, realising my limited abilities, tries to help me out with some suggestions, but it obviously does not know anything about 'sounding intelligent'. I try wierd combinations and settle for anything that is available. Step 1 taken.

Step 2 is posting the first log. Realising that this one is going to define the rest of my blogging career, I become conscious. This time I want to sound insightful. Or Wise. Or at least funny.
But no help this time either. So again I just type in something. just for the heck of it!

All right, now I have a blog of my own..
Cut to some days later. I feel like writing something and now I have a blog to write it on. I am smiling..but wait! What was the name of the blog that i created..and where did i create it?
I try hard to recall but it's gone..like a memory leak.

I'm back to step 1 of a new blog.
