முரண்பாட்டு மூட்டை

வராத Paper பையன்
மூடிய Tea கடை
அனைத்தையும் திட்டியவாறு
மழையை காரணம் காட்டி
officeக்கு மட்டம் போட்ட நான்!

Theory of Relativity

If you come early to bus stop, the bus is always late.
The bus is always early, when you are late.

N.B
Einstein's Explanation for theory of relativity
If you sit with a girl for an hour it seems like a minute
If you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour.

விடியலைத் திருடியவள்

அவள் வெண்ணிலவு போன்றவள்
அவள் முகம் மட்டும் அல்ல
அவள் மனமும் அப்படித்தான்,
அவள் விடியலைக் காட்டாதவள்!

Monetizing Free SMS

There would have been lots of instances, you have been irritated by the tele sales callers offering loans and credit cards, when you need them the least. Not to say anything about their timing, when you expect a call from some one special or when getting anointed by your manager.

It's a complete waste of time,wondering how the hell they get your numbers?

Not to mention your mobile carrier, which has the holy right to bug you for the caller tunes and some other offers that you will obviously not be interested.

Once you felt that you could not be bullied or harassed with all these calls, since you have registered in the DNC, there lurks in another evil.

Unsolicited Messages asking your attention for PAN cards, web designs and lots of other stuffs that you saw in public toilets and closed your eyes.
Again your mobile carrier and your bank sends messages on their promotional offers.

Still Wouldn't you agree that it is non-intrusive?

More similar to google ad's that appear in the side of the search!
More similar to the ad that you see while you chat or check your mail in yahoo!
May be the apt one will be the mails that you recieve in your inbox, caused you signed up to recieve the promotional mails from their partners, so you can enjoy the free mail.

Well why don't the mobile carriers take a leaf out of this model and make money for themselves?
When the sites like way2sms.com and indyarocks are already making money already letting their customers to send free SMS over your bandwidth.

Why not the mobile carriers make money for themselves, when they let others to make money making use of them?

Could they come up with possible Win-Win scenario to the customer as well as to themselves!

why not?

Ask the customer to Sign up for the free SMS program
Once the customer has signed up he/she will be able to send Free SMS.
For every free SMS being sent by the customer, the customer shall recieve an ADvertisement message.
The carrier could charge the company whose advertisement is being sent by messages.

Well now the customer is being able to send free messages.
The carrier receives money for the messages sent by the customer from the advertisement message.

Where is the win scenario for the advertiser?
What if, after receiving the message, the customer just chooses to delete the message even with out reading it?
Oh you mean just like, surfing other channels while the advertisment runs in the middle of the movie or the match, or not clicking the google ads that appear in the side of the search or deleting the promotional mail that lies in your inbox just by reading the subject heading.
(Point made that it has always been a challenging task to the marketers to catch the eye balls of the targeted audience irrespective of the advertisement media used)

Surprisingly, here the idea could be tweaked a little bit to get the eye balls of the targetted audience.
the reciever of the SMS could be made to read the SMS ,recieved only after reading Advertisement.(i.e the receiver receieves the advertisement instead of the sender)

Wont the receiver get too much annoyed by the ad messages (apart from the irritating forwards and sweet nothing messages), just because you are getting a free ride on the expense of the others

Well the reciever too could return the favor by signing up to the same program and return the favor(revenge sweet revenge, revenue sweet revenue for the carrier)

பணக்காரன்

கண்களில் Ray Ban
கையில் Rado
காதில் i-Phone
காரை திறக்கையில்

பிச்சைக்காரனை விரட்டும்
நான்

கருணையற்றவனோ
கல்நெஞ்சக்காரனோ
கஞ்சப்பிசாசோ

பார்ப்பவர்களுக்கு
புரியுமோ

கால்காசு இல்லாத
Credit Card
கடன்காரன் நானென

ஏன்? ஏன்? ஏன்?

ஏனிந்த கிறுக்கல்கள்
ஏனிந்த குமுறல்

ஏனிந்த கவலை
ஏனிந்த கொலைவெறி

அவளுக்கு எனை
பிடிக்கவில்லை என்பதாலா

அவளுக்கே எனை
பிடிக்கவில்லை என்பதால்!

p.s
Make sure you watch this youtube video to appreciate the significance of the poem and the source of inspiration

உயிரோடு உறவாக

நீ விழுந்தால்
நானும் வீழ்வேன்
நீ உயர்ந்தால்
நானும் உயர்வேன்
உனக்குள் நானா
எனக்குள் நீயா
ரிலையன்ஸும் பங்குசந்தையும்!

விடுமுறை

Alt-tab அடிக்காமல்
Monitor முன் இல்லாமால்
மனம் மயானமாய்
இன்று விடுமுறையாமே
பங்குச்
சந்தைக்கு

மரணத்தை வென்றவன்

பல முறை மரணம்

பல முறை ஜனனம்

கண்டவன் நான்

காதல் போயின் சாதல் எனில் !
