hmmm...so term two has started...an we have strategy courses...and the marketing startegy game...wow..me strategy....awesome....:)
I really try to link myself and strategy...but really can't go beyond the incident last week....
Last exam and rushed out of college to the airport...to catch a 6:40 flight....reached the airport around 6:00...walked to the check-in counter with a typical MBA swagger and attitude...and the following is the conversation....
Me: Hi (handing over the ticket)
Lady at the counter: (smiling)...hi (How I wish, I could boast I charmed her into that smile, but my experience tells me better)
The very next moment, the lady gives me a 'wierd-confused-horrified-oh what a nut' look...
Hell, OK I am..used to getting such looks...but this was too quick even by my standards....I mean a simple plain 'Hi' can't trigger it....
Me: I am sorry, I understand I am slightly late..(see the brilliant me, that's the best I could come up with)
Lady: (smiling again) No Sir, you are quite late
I hate this 'Sir' word....it ususally is followed by something not necessarily pleasant....
Me: (with the confused look)....sorry!!??
Lady: Yeah, your flight left at 6:40 in the morning...
Me: !!!!????....You serious???
Lady: Yes sir, this ticket is for the 6:40 morning flight....
Well half an hour of running around...meeting a few people....giving the gareeb student...mom's not well story...paying up 500 bucks.... I had a seat on the next flight....
and then this thought...hell, I can't even book my tickets properly....and strategy...!!!...well but none of those buggers into strategic thinking book their tickets themselves..... do they??
so yeah i do have a chance...:)

No wonder bhaiya..you were always expected to come up wid somethin like this here :P

wrong question u hav put up bhaiya..Its not about knowin u well..Just the 'fact' tht everyone here..and i mean everyone..expects such things frm u and papa!..u dont trust me..ask benu.. :P
lol. You better plan your strategies better:)
@priysha - ah cut it short...fine i'm like that...
@phoenix - yeah, i would... if anyone ever trusts me with that...the comments above show a poor market perception of my abilities....:)
:-) Look at it this way - strategy may be a bit off, but your marketing is right on the spot! Just 500 bucks and you were on your way!
yeah sure...i'd take anything that comes my way...btw do i know you??
