My dad is no more the strongest!

Well I safely derived this as a key learning for one of the researches. I was amused to see how less dependent children are today on parents. Kids have there own world. In fact adults can enter their world by invitation only. They no more need their father to answer 1000 questions. Google is their father as far as curiosity is concerned in their little minds.

They are going through ‘tell me something new’ syndrome. On the other hand today parents need their kids to guide them well at least for the technology bit. It is obviously reflecting in the advertising today. Have you seen the Reliance ‘R Button’ ad where a father calls his 7-8 yr old son outside the classroom to help him figure the mobile feature? This is just an example.

The role models have changed. Father is not the hero for these junior heroes anymore. They control their world. At this pace one just hopes that the innocence stays and is untouched by the material change.

Remember Jugal Hansraj in lakadi ki kaathi, movie Masoom? He is so cute, so innocent. I still remember the scene in the movie where his father (Nasiruddin Shah) asks him at the railway platform while saying good bye “Aap muze bhool toh nahi jaoge?”And this sweet lil one says “ Main aapako kaise bhool sakata hun. Aap toh mere papa ho na?”

Heh...heh

Technology best used by a tailor!

In an IT capital of India, Bangalore.

Having a cell phone with a camera is no big deal these days. But more often than not it is used for fun and masti. Here is an observation which I thought is worth sharing. A tailor at Commercial Street in Bangalore is a small but busy businessman with substantial number of 20-30 clientele and is a designer in his own right.

He uses his camera enabled cell to click pictures of his customers and saves them against their name. So that when his precious clients call him to check on the delivery status he can quickly recollect and answer accordingly. He is doing his best to give the personalized service. Cool no?
