Well, make that emails. The third edition of this new feature on my blog consists of folks who've written to me asking for help in publicising their ventures. So this is a 'spread the good word' edition.
Hi Rashmi,
I am regular reader of your blog though never put in any comments. I represent a theater group Based in Bangalore called Version One Dot Oh!, a theatre group from Bangalore in short VODO. Our group consists of young professionals and students from different backgrounds. You can check out our blog @ http: vodo.blogspot.com.
So far we have done over 18 productions. We are traveling to Mumbai during the week of Feb 7-11 2007, performing two plays, "Shadows in the Dark" at the Mysore Association, Matunga and the other one "When the python's followed the Actor..." at Rang Sharada in Bandra.
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers
Vijay Kumar Yenne
Production Manager
Version One Dot Oh!, Bangalore
My comment: Sounds interesting. Maybe some of you would like to attend the shows. If you do, I'd love to have a review to publish in JAM!
Here are a couple of other requests:
hi,
I am the admin at www.siddharthfans.com fansite for Actor Siddharth of Rang De Basanti fame, we (a bunch of Engg. students) have started the site a few months back.
I would be pleased if you can link to the website somehow... thnks in advance
-Ram
My comment: Didn't know Siddharth is an MBA from S P Jain. Hmmm!
Lastly, Rajat Samanta from Army Institute of Management, Kolkata wanted to let junta know about the 'Indian B school Blog Hunt' at their annual fest Inferno.
You can submit a new Blog or add comments to existing ones over here
Will I be so nice week after week? No guarantees. I felt these were interesting bits of info... but I don't promise to put up any and all emails so please don't flood me with 'link to my blog' requests!
Have a nice day. Or night. Or whatever, depending on timezone.
Update: So this time's emails are boring, huh? Well, folks that's the way life is. Public service is boring. That's why there's so little space in the media for it :)
But hey, this does expose the hypocrisy out there. When I critiqued an email I was exhorted to 'be positive'... What about being positive about 'being positive'?
Lastly, the number of negative comments posted on this blog far far exceed the positive ones. Not that I take it personally. But it's time some of you apply the principles you claim to believe in, before throwing e-pebbles at others!
rashmi... this email of the week seemed like an interesting idea at first.. but now, it seems pretty drab...
ReplyDeletefeels more like, you are running out of content to write about!
I kinda agree with rakuboy..
ReplyDeleteYa..its good to read and all that...but we expect a lil' more from u..on "Issues"
Rashmi, the 'critique' posts gets the most eyeballs. It is a voyueristic world :)
ReplyDeleteShare what you think is worth sharing about.
I would say, when we speak up we have to be open to criticism. This time's e-mail of the week was better in my opinion as it was different from both the two previous additions!!
ReplyDeleteInfact i think your covering of only 3 such e-mails was not good enough, because i think those things mentioned there were definitely not known to many.
Couple of things,
ReplyDelete- As rakuboy and vamsi said, you post are getting boring. Its better to take a break from blogging than disappointing readers with ordinary posts
- Being a prominent blogger, I believe you should encourage frank feedback and criticism
- Most important, it is these small people who read your blog and comment on it. Sometimes they may seek some help. Its the price of being popular. I guess its not prudent to make mockery of their emotions by posting their mails on the blog
- As a regular reader, I hope you'll come up with something thats worth spending some time

To clarify once and for all, I write a blog because I have thoughts or ideas which I wish to express. The readership is welcome, but incidental.
ReplyDeleteI will not tailor my blog to cater to readers. Because this is not a media vehicle which needs to follow the public pulse in order to 'sell more'. That's the beauty of this medium!
This does not mean I ignore feedback from you folks. But I fail to understand why some mythical higher standards need to be applied to me because I am a 'prominent blogger'.
Anyone who finds my blog boring is free to take a break from reading it :)
Lastly, I don't mind people approaching me for help but there are decent and polite ways to ask for help and rude/ unacceptable ways to do so. The email I put up was an example of the latter and if I have scared off some folks who operate from that mindset, well so be it.
Incidentally, 'prominent bloggers' have feelings as well!
Hi Rashmi,
ReplyDeleteI loved your assessment of why one takes a liking to writing blogs in the first place.
I subscribe to different blogs and sift through them whenever time permits. Sometimes, the vitriolic nature of the comments that conclude a post often makes me wonder whether the purpose of the blog was to provoke discussion or incite more empty rhetoric.
------------------------
Love the blog, guys. It's the association with the blogger that one treasures. I've read this blog since its inception and might not have always agreed with what Rashmi writes. But it contributes to the identity of the blog and you can choose whether to like it or not. As far as boring posts are concerned, there are enough avenues available for everyone where one may find posts "thats worth spending some time"...
Remember it's easy being judgemental about one's personal likes and dislikes. But one's choices may not be the same as every other person.
e-pebbles ... nice term :)
ReplyDeletethough what you've recieved most of the time have been full fledged e-brickbats!
and as 'dunno who' said, all publicity is good till the moolah keeps rolling in :)
Some rant there Rashmi! I think people asking you to link their sites is nothing but asking for free publicity. But Ranting on them?
ReplyDeleteI've been visiting your blog sometime now & I suppose I'm not the only soul to see the excellent quality in most of your posts.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps!
Sai
Actually, I'm glad you put this post up. You were very nice with most of your responses. I get random emails from random foklks who are simply emailing me for link exchanges, even when my blog/site/interests have absolutely nothing to do with theirs. Earlier I took time to explain politely, Now I barely respond to all of them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it rule #1 for any folks seeking pr/adv/mktg? Atleast a little bit of background search is to be expected!
Btw, I love the term, e-pebbles.
I love yr blog. EOA
ReplyDeleteHere it's End of Argument!
Publishing emails is always a debatable issue.

活得真累,有些时候我们会禁不住的这样感叹,那些不顺心的日子,我们也总感觉活 wow gold 得真烦。在寻找了千百种理由之后,当我蓦然回首曾经走过的那些岁月,我惊然的发现,其实生活赐予我的,并没 wow power leveling 有与别人有什么的不同,呈现在我视野里的生活,每个人其实都一样,不同的仅仅是我们的胸襟中缺少一份“坦然”。 当看见那些假日的钓鱼者,一大早的出门,在夕阳下却拎着空空的鱼篓回家时,一路上却留下欢声笑语。
ReplyDelete当看见那些早出晚归的农民,在晚霞的辉映下回家时,那张写满疲倦的脸上 wow gold 却洋溢着朝霞一样的笑容。
当看见那些恋人在分手时,虽然脸上带着一份无奈的笑容,眼里带着一份淡淡的忧伤,但却依然潇洒的挥挥手,互道一声珍重时,不禁内心会这样的感叹,坦然真好!
突然想起来这样的一句话“天空留不下我的痕迹,但我已飞过”其 wow power leveling 实,这不就是对坦然最好的诠释。
如果失败是一种人生经历,那么这种经历却会使我们成熟,如果说一个人的成熟必须历尽沧桑的话,那么我想,沧桑就是一种美丽。
我坦然,于是我心美丽!我心 replica rolex 美丽,于是人生跟着美丽。
坦然,是一种失意后的乐观!坦然,是沮丧时自我的一种调整。
坦然,其实就是平淡中的一份自信!坦然 wow power level 是一份快乐!是一种潇洒!
在人生中,许多的成败与得失,并不是我们都能预料到的,很多的事情也并不是我们都能够承担得起的,但,只要我们努力去做,求得一份付出后的坦然,其实得到的也是一种快乐!
生活里许多的人,我们是捉摸不定的,甚至 power leveling 防不胜防。但,我们不必去计较,更不必去埋怨,我们唯一做的是,当我们必须去面对他们的时候,同样的奉上我们的真心。以君子之心度小人之怀,那不正显示我们的博大的胸襟吗?
我曾经爱过也哭过,曾经功成名就过,也 rolex replica 曾失败没落过。但,当我回首这一切的时候,我仍然感到骄傲,因为:我曾勇敢地面对了这一切,且光明而磊落!
假如生活给我们的只是一次又 lotro gold 一次的挫折,一次又一次的失败,其实,这也没什么的,因为那只是命运剥夺了我们活的高贵的权利,但并没有夺走我们活的快乐和自由的权利。
没有蓝天的蔚蓝,我们 rolex 可以有白云的飘逸。
没有大海的壮阔,我们可以有小溪的悠然。
没有草原的芬芳,我们可以 power leveling 有小草的青翠。
因为生活里是没有旁观者的,每个人都有一个属于自己的位置,每个人也都能找到一种属于自己的精彩。
坦然,会让我们的生 rs gold 活美丽而快乐!
朋友,就让我们的胸襟中盈盈感情坦然吧!
