Food 4 Thought

Different names but one mission………All over the world women are organizing a slut walk against the remark of a Canadian police officer who said “if women want to avoid rape they should not dress like a slut”.   Nothing could generate more buzz than the aesthetically and skimpily dressed group of women walking down under the open sky on the public roads protesting against a school   of thought which holds a view that skimpily dressed women instigate sexual crime against themselves. What a Pity……We appreciate the artist who fetches millions of dollar for sketching the body of a women in her natural form but we feel offended and instigated to commit a crime when the same women dressed somewhat skimpily but aesthetically walk in her live form to make a statement about herself and her beauty.

In marketing parlance we can think of it as a product which was restricted to a very small segment of society, had some exclusivity attached to it, expertise of saint in performing it and a luxury which could only be afforded by the disciples of saints. Wasn’t it a niche product. I think so…….. Nobody could have thought of commercializing it, leave aside the thought of popularizing it among the masses . Entrepreneurs are not only risk bearers, organizers and managers of the enterprises but they are also great visionaries who not only anticipate the future needs but also keep a check on the present requirements. I am sure Baba must h...
