The 4Ps of marketing and business quiz!!
This was a core marketing quiz and we made a mess...
I and my friend Uma both went for the Zonal round.
We both are from HR background and trust me round 1 in the quiz was what we call Phadu.
It was like we are in a desert with…
Marketing terms and concepts.. It was like I can’t hear anything.
(Why the hell they made marketing a subject?)
The first round broke our confidence and later it was difficult to control the flow of disappointments.
Round 2, 3 and 4 were okay type.. And round 5 was cool and round 6 was audio visual one.
Overall composure of the quiz was good. But we failed to deliver.

I am still disappointed.. !! Loser... I hate this term but this time let me use it.
Not being an avid TV viewer made the audio-visual round tough.
At times even we made mistakes…. Recalling certain names was tough.

48 teams participated in the north zone level and thankfully at least Amity- Lucknow made it to the next round. That was a sigh of relief when I heard the results for the winners.
IIFT got the highest points.
Good luck to the Amity team.
I hope they keep the spirits alive and be the top notch in the competition.

It was an opportunity lost..
Better luck next time to me.

In the hypocrisy...
"Whom to trust...no one in sight.. and the insight says: God knows! "
Life seems to be in a turmoil..when your own ones don’t trust you!
This is one truth of life which most of us are going to agree with. Rich or poor...whatever be the basis of classification!!
What will you do?? Or what can I do?Nothing is the answer.
They say ‘nature and signature never change’.Similarly if once gone, you simply can’t rebuild trust.
It’s a tough task! Sad and desperate, synonyms for the helplessness that we suffer at the hands of trust…. Losing trust.. deepened wounds become fresh and alive..!
We cant compromise... on the personal front.. so far what i have seen..and felt.
We sit back..tired.. with lonely hearts..may be maintaining the smiles on our face, but deep within we know what’s the story.
I always look at myself and think where did I make a mistake?
Somehow sometimes I do find myself as a person who does gain trust easily but.. never trusts easily. My weak point!
But the fact that I am talking about here is someone whom you love, what it’s like getting a feedback from someone of such stature to tell you that they don’t trust you.
“Well if I die, I will go to heaven/hell, and won’t be alive.. to prove anything even if I die.”So what am I supposed to do?? May be keep adding pages to ‘how to prove things or how not to make things so complicated.’
Give it a thought -
People who are not so relevant in your life understand you better than those who are always there with you. 'May be the shortened breath tries to live longer... !!'

Goes beyond my understanding parameters... somebody who is straightforward and will speak the truth in your face is still taken for some misunderstandings.. May be communication barrier is much more evident than required.
Trust mostly comes from this communication kind of thing.
Trust!! I don’t know what the definition of trust is. Wondering again .. Spending your entire life with someone is a big question and is a cumbersome one to solve if that someone happens to be a stranger.
When people around you don’t understand you, then its useless to talk about others.
'Fractions can’t be turned into years and years are countless..!'
Moving with the world and thinking about this topic takes the route which sometimes has no end..no destination.

Trust is something foreseen but quickly foregone!!
