By Harish Anand Thilakan On May 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment

By Harish Anand Thilakan On September 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

So the whole of the internet world and media went crazy today about Tim Cook’s letter of apology to customers about Maps – Apple’s latest offering as part of iOS 6 that apparently has left the company red-faced.

Personally, what annoyed me most was industry experts writing off Tim Cook as having not [...]

Leisa’s Secret’s need to discover Marketing’s secrets

By Harish Anand Thilakan On September 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Welcoming me to today’s copy of the Metro Plus was a large prominent ad for a new brand called Leisa’s Secret.

Mother Culture Magic

By Harish Anand Thilakan On September 5, 2012 · 3 Comments

I can’t seem to blame one single factor for the dwindling influence of our mother tongues or ‘mother-cultures’ (if such a phrase even exists though it probably makes sense) on our every day lives.

By Harish Anand Thilakan On July 18, 2012 · 6 Comments

Hey people – this post is since I have been plagued for the last 3 odd weeks with a problem on my Nokia Lumia 800. Looking through the internet or talking to the telco customer care for a solution didn’t help. Scouring deeper on the internet did. I am supposing a lot more of you [...]
