Does Pakistan need Pepsi?




Not that I want to make a statement. I first read this blog: http://tinyurl.com/ygzygvr


When someone commented on the authenticity of the images shown, I was tempted to verify for myself. I am sure many would be excited to do so as well and for you such souls I testify. I certainly am tempted to think that the image of Pakistan on cyberspace is not as bad while that of India is not so good either.

LyFe is truely BooOtYpHuL !!!

Brief Profile
  • At 67 years age, a polygamist with 19 children - 5 times married, one wife committed suicide, another divorced, 2 more finances waiting to walk down the aisle!
  • Charged for rape (though found not guilty later)
  • Corruption charges and multiple controversies 
  • Socialist (with a Communist background) President of one of the world's fastest growing economies
This is the profile of Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa! Quite a colorful profile for the  Rainbow Nation's first citizen!


Eager to see him? Here he is dancing in joy during his traditional wedding with his latest wife - 30 years his junior. 



Tiger Woods, ND Tiwari, SPS Rathore could all perhaps benefit with a shift of location..to SA! :P 


What Say???


PS.: No offence, SA  is an absolutely wonderful country. I did enjoy myself during my short stay there during Feb-April, 2008. Also, this perhaps is only 1 dimension to President Zuma's personality. 

'TWITTER'aayanamah

Only today I realized that I could Twitter (verb) something to Barkha Dutt and Pritish Nandy and be heard too! On first sight it looked like the T20 version of Networking - 
  • 140 characters is all you get to say what you want to
  • Established names don't matter- anybody can (reach everybody and) influence opinion
I perhaps joined the Twitter bandwagon a tad late - I initially opined that a venture without a business model wouldn't last and didn't care. I now see an important reason to ensure that a platform like Twitter lasts and evolves to be a more useful tool. It remarkably connects people in influencing positions to pulse of the subjects. Way to go Tharoor!


What say??
