We always converse about people behind their back. It’s in our nature.
(Note: Listening is a subset of conversing; hence we have all done it, directly or indirectly)
Obviously some people are just not enough of an outlier from the norm to get more than a passing mention. Some however become the focus of heated discussions inadvertently.
We talk about people’s attributes, their faults, their fortune or lack thereof. But whatever we talk about, one thing is certain, we are more candid than we can ever be in front of the person we are talking about.
One day I hope to secretly listen to some samples of such conversation which happens about me.
(I am of course assuming that sometimes I am enough of an outlier from the norm to merit a discussion)
When I do, I hope to listen to some good and awesome things about me, which I am reasonably sure I won’t hear today, come hell or high water.
Taking into consideration my inability to come up with anything inspiring since my last post, I have decided to use it to leverage my strategic ability to BS and leverage an online platform exponentially to address these fundamental insights about the market. I have come up with creative idea to make a matrix comparing the currently existing patterns in the market with the patterns I would like to see in near future in mind of consumer.
(Basically make a table comparing what I want to hear to what I would probably hear today if I could hear what people say about me behind their backs)
PS: Feel free to add any to the list, if you can think of any
PPS: Till date I have already reached the status of “Jagrit, ever the clueless cool hottie”. Coolness is countered by hotness leaving me quite an average person, hence making it applicable to me currently.
PPS: Please ignore the last paragraph after taking into consideration my curse of being an MBA and a random urge to follow in the steps of Shri Shri Raghav Ranjan (Demi-God)
PPPS: He may be elevated to status of “God” by upsetting Shri Shri Sharad Dagar from that position through a statistically significant preference to exchange the position of Dagar with Ranjan through a random sample survey of 268 people from IIML batch of 2009

Some pointers:
1. You missed one shri from shri shri shri sharad dagar. 'god' is not going to be pleased about a shri getting dropped off!
2. Ranjan is a god in his own right. one cannot replace Dagar and God just as IIPM cannot replace IIMs! So don't even dare!
3. Factual error: Cool, Hottie and Jagrit are three words which are yet to be used in the same sentence and refer to same person! :D
jaggu.. u actually heard "cutie" and "cute hottie" in ur context?
but there is also fun when u wear those IIML tees to the market etc and people keep on staring u even when u r trying to haggle for prices of potato :D
I heard "cutie" or something close to it anyway (Refer to my IIM Prints for the same)
"Cute Hottie" is an aspirational value which is unlikely to be achieved in the light of current initiatives being taken by me on a strategic level, however it is an aspirational value I am aiming for.
Awesome one bhai !!!
