Looking Forward in Anticipation

Digital

YouTube is going to be huge in India. There is an opportunity for those in web video to create classics that will define content on this medium in this country.

Web Hosting is going to get a lot of people rich and build a career they didn’t think existed like nearly a year back.

Online retail is going to build the next big names in consumer brands in this country in the coming decade.

Blogging is going to make a huge comeback as a point of influence and commerce in the larger media, advertising and PR landscape.

Mobile will not grow separately, the web and mobile will merge as media from a brand and consumer perspective..apps will become ubiquitous and platform/media independent. Invariably they will need either provide or power content. So the opportunity in the tablet and mobile world is two fold for the enablers and the creators.

Looking forward… [;)]

The Trouble With Negativity

By: Maneesh Madambath

Digital Media

..is that it can drain you of your energy..like a parasite. Worse it doesn't make itself evident. You reel in with all the negative bits in your mind and you keep fighting it, more like a reflex. And it drains you while you fight..and it fights back by eating you up from inside and then it hammers you down sapping every bit of whatever it is that makes you alive. You don't feel the life around, you don't see the possibilities and chances. You want to create but your hands won't budge, your minds no longer blank waiting to be filled, it is instead filled with thoughts upon thoughts rising from that small seed of doubt and sadness that was sown long back. And it has now grown into every corner in your mind and then begins to find itself into your body. Your health deteriorates, you feel tired, disoriented and you lose focus and thoughts and direction.

Not a good place to be. But it works like a drug, addictive and like the fleeting joy of putting yourself through pain you get a high out of the lows of where you are. But when one digs deep enough one knows it's not good, because it doesn't let you create and build..there's nothing of value that comes out of you because the energy you carry is of decimation and destruction. You're not up to anything good and you can't see others up to anything good. That's when you truly realize the extent of the damage. When you look out to dim out hope and optimism not just within but even around you. 

Bad bad scene. 

You don't want to be that person. Don't board that ship. The world needn't be fought, it needs to be built.
