Term 3... HALVE-isms and more!

Visiting profs are never short of a smart one-liner... Sample these for the best we've had :D

"Should the shit hit the ceiling, the brand manager needs a marketing research report to cover his head."
- A not-too-espousing view on Market Research

==

"Sahara Airlines... Emotionally yours is their proposition... What rot! It's like, when you're leaving the plane, they cry and go 'Mat Jao... Mat jao...!' "
- And thus begins positioning-bashing.

==

"Aloe Vera... I think there are all of three products in the world that don't have aloe vera in them!"

- A take on the poor plant's ubiquity.

==

From another visiting fac from Lowe (AK)...

"Building a brand is like having a baby... You never know what you get till it finally comes out... Otherwise you can keep anticipating."
- On the more 'labour'ious parts of marketing...

==


"Brand managers move on, and only PPTs are left..."
- The sad truth of marketing...

==

"These brand personality values are like aloe vera... You find the same thing in everything!"
- Thus begins the bashing of the dear old
barbadensis plant.

==

From the SDM prof following Anshul's interview...

Vikram: We were really not too impressed by Anshul...
KD: Really? Suhasini asked him if he's married... :P

==

ChaCha returns! :D

"That question is Antara's, unless you want to take an affidavit and legally say, I, Indronil Goswami, henceforth change my name to Antara Chatterjee."

- This is what happens when you try to hog questions that rightfully belong to others.

==

"It will be easy too, seeing the Bong connection!"
- A continuation of the above!

==

Alumni Elections...

ASWINI: So why are you not standing for CulComm this time?
GOLEE: Well, quite frankly, I joined CulComm to have a cultural time, and I had it :P

==

Vidya after an impulse purchase, wondering about his Dad's reaction...

"Okay, Dad, I bought a pair of sandals because _____... Complete the slogan and save my @$$!"
:P

==

"Also many years ago, Roxy used to jump over the wall..."
- The height of DCP by A B when asked why MICAn walls were barbed
