Power of Stories.

Story…… I am not talking about the film script that you might think of. Yeah! I won’t deny, it is part of it. Actually, we are surrounded by people who keep talking and most of it is what they have done and what happened to someone. From child to adult to the old man. Each and every one share their stories of the day, life, and any other thing.

If someone got ditched, a story circulates in the whole campus at least for 2-3 days. If someone proposed someone, yeah! It will take more than a while. And if they get married, the story runs for a lifetime. Someone creates stories from now where. Someone’s imagination enough to entertain you 2 hours. And an older man tells you about their experiences   Storied is just another bunch of experience, Imagination, emotion, creativity and a lot. 

Do you remember the Archimedes principle or Pythagoras theorem, for a while, you need to strike it down. Or you do not remember it. And now if I ask you to narrate “Twinkle Twinkle” poem. Your response would be spontaneous. Now the question is when you put all your effort to memorize something by heart and wrote it down many times, why are you not able to deliver the same thing in the specific span? On the other hand, that little poem strikes you quickly and brings smiles to your lips. The difference between the two cases is your Imagination. You remember the scene of movies and spontaneously spot it if it copied in other movies. You read a novel and you remembered it for a lifetime without recalling it.

Same things happen in real life incident. Your college memories exist in the brain and in no time, you start recalling them you meet college a friend without any force.  An entrepreneur or leader tells their journey in the form of stories.

Stories also leave a mark on our own life. Sudha Murthy’s novel inspires someone to quit dowry asked by his father. “hamara dil aapke paas hai” movie inspired someone to marry a window. “Swades” movie inspired many Indians to quit the highly paid job in the US and to improve India’s basic amenity needs.

Why did I join Blogger?

What you’re reading happens to be my 7^th Blog post. I started this rubbish machine of a blog about a few months ago and have been gradually drawn to sharing more of myself which I could not tell to anyone but still something in me tells I have to people, no matter if they anonymous. I like to believe that I have an eye which see same things like other but their reactions are different. These reaction either you keep in your memory (that’s sucks) or just spit it to someone, you meet. Sometimes, you want to erase them for lifetime. I remarkably observed that no one is interested what you do in your life and for strange one, who the hell care about. Well, it doesn't make me blogger. I think that Blogger is a place where people consider themselves as a writer and they do not need validation. On daily basis, you can’t (actually no one) make 5000 character by self. Being a human, everyone has limitation. For a writer, it’s Imagination. Literally, not each one can understand your imagination. It has variation in genres. Being funny or serious.

Basically, it moves from words to article to book with speed of snail and this frustration leads me to Twitter, Facebook or Quora. One bounce to another. And finally on blogger.

Company Decides to use Job Applicants as Subscriber

An unknown company decided to use their job applicant’s emails as subscriber to reach out more people to tell about the company’s services.

After visiting the company’s HR department real truth came out. In a conversation CEO said “we have a culture in which all employees of all departments get together and discuss the growth of their functional area every week over a round table. When our HR executives were revealing statics about their department, Marketing manager shocked”.  Actually, we had more than 1000 applicants for each post and it was almost equal to our email subscription.

Well, it was embarrassing for a marketing manager. On another meet. One employee asked that “why can’t we use these applicant contacts as a subscription?” For everyone, it sounded weird but then he explained the logic behind. “If someone is interested to work with us then definitely he/she likes what we do and this is why people subscribe to our services.”

For Founding team, his explanation looked good and they gave it green flag for approval as company’s tradition. This approval saved the job of marketing manager and achieved target first time his career.

Decision leaked out when job applicant, who was waiting for company’s call for his application status; Started getting promotional mails in his inbox with detailed of all products of the company. His Illusion broke out when same thing continued over two weeks and he marked it as spam.
