Filler: Red Bull



How many of you who've had Red Bull have paid for it? A reliable answer should show up above soon.
Their way of marketing was enjoyable, yes, but effective? Not very, I'm sure. I wonder if they're still doing that. Have some girls give away free red bull near colleges and in fests... During an economic meltdown, trying to prove that their drink works by this method might not be the smartest idea. And that's when we consider doing the same in non-super-bearish times as a smart idea in the first place.. So if you've seen their marketing still going on full swing (or even half swing for that matter), do let me know in the comments. You don't have to sign up or anything to comment, you know.

Another thing about Red Bull is its name. If a Red Bull sees itself in the mirror, does it attack? What if it sees itself by doing the bull equivalent of looking down (erm, looking behind..) - what does it do then? Make wings and distribute 'em to random people in college? Is that what the Red Bull GmbH are trying to say? Something to think about.


P.S. The short length of this post is an indicator of how much time I have these days.
Those rumors in coll that i heard about this company went like this-
If you wanna study for higher preparations (or prepare for higher studies, I'm not sure which) this was the place to go work in. I misunderstood that to mean "Lots of free time".

What it actually meant was "Those nerds among you who haven't ever had enough work to do and wanna go on paying someone else to bore you with lectures would like this place. Coz it's a place where you'll get "challenging and interesting work" (Yes, double quotes within double quotes.) and you wont go a minute with nothing to do."

But truth is- it all depends on a whole bunch of parameters that you have no control over- like the stream your company trains you in, the project (or bench) you get and economic crisises. I'm kinda looking forward to a bench period now. [Not gonna happen for another coupla months at least.] But when it happens, I'll get to blog more often about more mundane things. I'll be able to read and re-read books. They might let me bring in a PSP. Maybe I'll join and frequent the office gym. Maybe I'll somehow manage to get to practice my guitar in office. Hey, one can dream, cant one? [Man that sounded wrong]

I'll be back with more soon, hopefully.
