Off Topic- Who is Their Audience?

I was reading Mint online and clicked on 'travel.' Under it was something called style. Now I wonder if travel and style really mix apart from at some obscenely priced places that you will find regularly mentioned in such publications. I think many of us consider travel a time to live in jeans and shirts and not even be bothered about 'do I look presentable enough'?

Well, sometimes I end up reading such pieces. Well, whatever place they mentioned prices start at Rs. 5000. That reminds me of an incident where my two nephews went into a Nike shop, looked at a football shirt and a few accessories and came back and told me, "That costs Rs. 5000, that is more like our yearly budget, rather than to be spent in a day." Even young teens are that sensible. Some dress costs Rs 12,000 plus, I wonder who are they targeting it at? Is that how they define their audience?

A Little Too Much!

Where is the rule of law? I mean 7 blasts in Bangalore and 12 in Ahmadabad! Words fail me.

Bomings in Jaipur

7 bombs are said to have gone off in Jaipur. So many dead, the Indian news channels going their usual way, all cacophony, here is the discussion on Indiamike.

I have spent quite some time near Jaipur and Jauhari Bazar (Jeweler's Market) is quite a familiar place for me where I used to shop. Certain things make no sense.

Icredible India Videos on Youtube

Saw this both at Daily India and CNN-IBN. The tourism ministry has launched some of its videos on Youtube. I wish the papers had given the URL of the page or a video too. Here is what the Daily India story says-

The Ministry, known worldwide for its "Incredible India" campaign, have made promotional videos available to the YouTube, the eighth most trafficked website.

From the Himalayas to the sun kissed beaches of Goa, or the boat ride in the backwaters of Kerala are now just a click away.
