A salute to Reshma

She is no soldier but she fights like one
She lost her eye to acid attack
But held on to her dreams.
The acid burnt her body
But wasnt strong enough to penetrate her spirit
She is the one who the world salutes and hates those bloody brutes

Her suffering and cries bring tears to my eyes
Her glory makes me feel proud of her
She is someone I look upto for courage
She makes me feel tiny infront of her valour

I salute all the women suffering her fate
I seek forgiveness on behalf of a system that fails to protect their rights
I pray the animals who did this to her may rot in hell forever
May no one go through this pain again ever

She walked the ramp as a fashion diva
She faced the paparazzi with elan
She unfurled the wings of her dreams
To live the life she deserves

I wish you all the very best young lady
May all your dreams come true
May all the nightmares you have suffered so far be far far behind you

Live life like a queen
Rule your kingdom of dreams
Be strong and spread your spirit
Making the other ladies emulate you

Thank you for your example for the world
Thank you for overcoming your circumstances
Thank you for making an entire country proud
Thank you for your message to the world clear and loud

You complete me!

Just as the birds are happiest when their wings kiss the sky Just as the babies sleep blissfully Listening to their mother's lullaby You complete me Just as the butterflies blissfully suckle at the flowers Just as the lovers stare at the window of their love for hours You complete me Just as the earth devotedly revolves around the sun Just as the seven colours in sunlight Become one You complete me You are the poetry my soul has been seeking for years Your laughter and smiles brings me Fresh happy tears Together we are complete and strong Together we can make right all that's wrong You complete me Be with me forever till I'm alive Breathe with me & never leave my side Complete my life and stay in there forever fill my soul with happiness and pride You complete me

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...

How can #brands #incentivise #consumers on #socialmedia #performance

Social media is here to stay and will only get stronger. The consumers on social media have tasted blood with the knowledge that they have the power to run or ruin brand reputation. That brands cannot take their consumers for granted. I'm sure it is worrying a lot of marketeers that now they are not in control. Well, at least not fully. So how can things change for the better? How can we reach a win win situation for both the brands and customers. How can brands incentivise their loyal customers for spreading positive word of mouth? The solution that comes to my mind is : PPP or acronym for pay per promotion. To elaborate, let's assume that someone retweets a brands post and is able to get 1000 retweets on the post. The brand can decide a certain sum that could be paid to the consumers depending on a rate determined by the brand and mutually agreed upon by the brand and the consumers. There could be a concept of an auction where every consumer could pick to choose which bran...
