Lifetime offers are big in the telecom market. Like philosophy, they have many layers of meaning. Eavesdropper signed up for a ?lifetime validity? scheme, only to find that this was valid until December 2010. So, whose life is it supposed to be anyway?the user?s, the handset?s or the company?s?
Handidaft
Handicraft exports fell almost 80% this fiscal. Is that why the latest edition of the Handicraft Expo was marked by such profound, mouth-opening chaos? Stall allotments were made at the very last minute, and to compete with another fair at Pragati Maidan, the expo was extended by four days? for which nobody was prepared. As one wag put it, it was like balancing a papier mache elliptical spheroid on a coconut husk teaspoon.
Opus quote
Just when Eavesdropper thought leaders had given up trying to say something that might be quoted generations into the future, Rahul Gandhi has struck with this one: ?My dream for India is that every child should dream.? It?s short, snappy, democratic and easily translatable into multiple languages without rendition loss. This other one??In India, we need not be scared of or lack confidence in dealing with anything or anybody??could?ve been a classic, too, had the context of the Indo-US nuclear deal not been infinitely more complex.
