I have some good news to tell you guys.
I told you so. We have been made Idiots by 3 Idiots.
In my first post on the subject, I had stated with reasons that we are being taken for a ride by Chetan Bhagat and maybe by the 3 Idiots team. Just yesterday I had written at about 6 in the morning that I hope I do not see Chetan’s face early in the morning but he again turned up like a bad penny on the front page of HT City. Chetan Bhagat has apologised to the producers of 3 Idiots, shown love and respect for Aamir Khan, made Idiots out of the general public and made the media dance to its tune like Idiots.
Chetan Bhagat lies. Makes everyone idiots.
I didn’t know yesterday that the producer of 3 Idiots, Vidhu Vinod Chopra(VVC), had put the contract with Chetan Bhagat on their website. This is exactly what I had suggested yesterday. All this media hoopla of who said what was just a gimmick if not on part of both the parties but certainly on the part of Chetan Bhagat. The contract clearly states that whatever VVC and Aamir have been saying. It clearly indicates that Chetan Bhagat was lying. Also, it seems that Times of India (TOI) people have made the effort to read the book and have stated that according to them whatever VVC have said is correct. I think their article headline should have been, “Chetan Bhagat is a liar” but we know that newspapers like TOI like to be in the good books of celebreties.
Chetan Bhagat just wants more money
It seems that I can’t get rid of Chetan Bhagat’s face. Every morning I open the newspaper, his face pops up with some comment or the other. Now I know why Chetan is doing what he is doing. He had agreed to a stupid deal. Just Rs. 11 lakhs for a movie deal. I am sure that if he accepted such a measily amount for the movie deal, he would not have worried about where they placed his name. He has now realized his stupid mistake. After all how can you blame him. 3 idiots has grossed over Rs. 100 crores. You can’t blame him for being greedy.
Are the 3 idiots making idiots out of us?
Well, I think they are. Not only that they are laughing all the way to the bank by making us idiots. Who am I talking about? Of course, the producers of the movie 3 idiots, actor Aamir Khan and of course Chetan Bhagat.
Another Honda City customer with clutch problems
Yesterday, I received a call from Mr. Rajiv Gupta who also had a problem with Honda City clutch. His clutch failed at 31,000 kms. He was told by Honda that its because of normal wear and tear. Honda can’t seem to get its story right because they had told me that my cltch faled because I was “riding the clutch.” Now rajeev had the same reasoning as I had for his unhappiness, that is, when one buys Honda, one is assuming that one is buying quality and one does not expect the clutch and flywheel to fail at 30,000 kms.
Before buying new Honda Civic car, check out its clutch system
Honda Siel cars India has launched the new Honda Civic car. However, I suggest that whoever is thinking of buying the new Honda Civic, you check out is the clutch system is the same as Honda City. If the design and technology is the same, I suggest you take the following actions:
This is how Vijay Mallaya wants to serve the country
I was watching Vijay Mallya being interviewed by Vir Sanghvi on his show, the Tycoon. Vir Sanghvi asked Vijay Mallya as to why did he join politics. Pat came the reply, “I want to serve my country.”
Corporate gifts with a message
I have always felt that corporate gifts and business stationery should have a message. A gift with a message that is motivational or related to lessons of life. A gift with a message that teaches management concepts. A gift with a message that promotes corporate social responsibility, for instance, actions to save the environment. I have developed a website www.gift4corporate.com where I intend to do exactly this. Here we are going to sell gifts with a message. I have developed a number of gifts based on management and motivational concepts (some that are my own like Customer Math). I have also included gifts items of our associates Like Paper Passion.
Honda car executives want justification to satisfy its customers
In my earlier post, I had mentioned that Honda car service executive who called me wanted me to provide him justication as to why Honda should resolve my problem to satisfy me. His justification for not taking care of my complaint was as follows:
