Isn't TWITTER hyped up?




Sometimes i really feel I am more of @sharadharjai than Sharad Harjai.

Do we actually need to update my status when something wrong or good happens to us? Is it necessary to tell everyone that after having lunch I am feeling sleepy in office?? Well, I don't think so. Because in any case updating doesn't make any difference.

For a person who want to spread his business,need to have world news instantly or any other thing, TWITTER can act like a GOD's hand picking him from the ground and dropping on the top of world skipping all the ladders. But whats in there for a person who updates his followers just because he has an account on TWITTER?We have people of just 12 13 years of age so much active here like they need to get everything by their next bdday!!!
Isn't playing in cricket grounds better thing for them than just updating status?


Where no of people following us matters... where every retweet makes us feel our presence and we feel concerned about every tweet about what the other person is doing!!! I would definitely like to ask if these things are taking us to the right direction??




I don't want to mean that something is wrong with this. But has anyone of us felt we are just connected to ourselves through internet? I know it is highly controversial thought and everyone has his/her own way to look at this social media giant.

Still, just a question in my mind and want to know what you people think about this.

The biggies on the menu!!!

Yes the biggies here m referring to are the cricket players with their own restaurants chains. They are BIG NAMES!!! Famous BRANDS Ambassadors!!! They are the faces associated with some of most prestigious brands in world. From some basic consumer products to luxurious brands, they endorse everything, and their names do make a difference.

But when it comes to their own restaurant chains, the story is completely different.

Starting from our Little master to dada.. everyone have its own chain running.

Sachin Tendulkar --- Tendulkar's
Sorav Ganguly ----- Ganguly's
Harbajan Singh ----- Bhajji da dhaba
Zaheer Khan ----- ZK's
Virendra Sehwag ---- Sehwag's favorite

and many more.....




They all have something different to serve you in the plate. While tendulkar's is for sea food, bhajji da dhaba is for punjabi puttars. ZK's is known for its lounge designed by Zaheer Khan. Virendra sehwag has kept his favorite dishes on the menu with the price equal to the runs scored by him in a particular match(Multan Ke Sultan Ki Tikdi-- Rs309).

But the most common thing among all is that none of them is a big hit except ZK's which is doing well in pune. Even with such a huge fan following, their names are not crowd pullers.

Well, I don't have a reason why these big names doesn't take care of brand they are associated with. I think spending money should not be the concern for them. Then whats the reason that is keeping them away from maintaining their own brand value.

Can anyone make me understand this?
