Let Gays be. One’s Sexuality is not an “Achievement” nor a “Disqualification”

Last updated on: February 2, 2013 at 11:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

Look at the pic below. Wouldn’t it be better to say “I am proud of my son. He happens to be Gay as well”? There is nothing to be proud or not be proud of someone for his/her sexual preference or love. A person is worth respecting for who he or she is. Sexuality should NOT be a criteria in that. But this kind of slogans make the wars of ideologies – Hate Gays Brigade and others – even sharper... Read more

Indian Startup Review: CouponDunia

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 10:41 pm By Desh Kapoor

CouponDunia fills an important gap in India’s online retail market – coupons. I had often wondered what could be the alternative for sites like FatWallet in India. Well, CouponDunia is not quite Fatwallet in that it is not a crowdsourced discount sharing site – which can be very realtime and diverse – but it is more structured discount coupon site which has listings of the top online retail stores in India. For those who were looking for a Groupon clone... Read more

McDonalds India to pay Rs 15,000 for delivering the wrong burger

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 8:38 pm By Desh Kapoor

Companies can no longer take the Indian customers for granted. They cannot just treat them easily. Here is an interesting case where McDonalds in India delivered a non-vegetarian burger to a customer even though she had ordered vegetarian. She was awarded Rs 15,000 for the negligence. Fast food giant McDonald’s has been directed by a consumer forum here to pay Rs 15,000 as compensation to one of its customers for delivering a non-veg burger instead of the vegetarian one she...

GoDaddy’s Bold Bar Rafaeili Super Bowl Ad from “Smart meets Sexy” Campaign

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 6:53 pm By Desh Kapoor

GoDaddy’s new Super Bowl weekend ad is going to be talked about. It shows Israeli model and businesswoman Bar Refaeli kissing a nerd named Walter (actor Jesse Heiman). It starts off with a NASCAR driver saying “There are two sides to GoDaddy, there’s the sexy side represented by Bar Refaeli. And the smart side that creates a killer website for your small business, represented by Walter. Together, they’re perfect.” Then the two go ahead and kiss each other passionately. Much... Read more

Twitter is worth $10 Bn

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 4:37 pm By Desh Kapoor

It is an impressive social networking site, but then $10 bn? Wow. Last Friday, the Financial Timesreported that BlackRock (BLK) was buying around $80 million of shares at a valuation just north of $9 billion. We later added that the only sellers would be a small group of early employees, which were said to be fewer than two dozen. Existing Twitter investors were not invited to sell. Fortune has now learned from multiple sources that there is yet another block of early employee... Read more

Chidu back in action as he clinches Jet and Etihad “deal”

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 3:12 pm By Desh Kapoor

Etihad and Jet Airways went to meet Chidambaram for discussions, and came back happy saying they were close to “clinching the deal”. Chidambaram, you see, has been itching to get back into his business after the exploits of 2G scam. Allowing Telenor and Etisalat (front for Dawood Ibrahim’s organization) wasn’t easy, but then the pay offs made it all simple. After all the arrests and his deft handling of Subramanian Swamy’s strong attempt at nailing him, Chidambaram is now free.... Read more

“Mohammad the Intestine-Ripper” (Delhi Gangrape) should be given Jail for Life: Can’t let this animal loose on streets of India!

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 2:29 pm By Desh Kapoor

In the recent Delhi Gangrape case, there were 6 rapists: Ram Singh, the bus driver, and his brother, Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, an assistant gym instructor, Pawan Gupta, a fruit seller, an unemployed youth Akshay Thakur and Raj Mohammad supposedly a juvenile. That night after the bus, that should NOT have plied in Delhi taking passengers – because it was private – and because it had tinted glass – had already been witness to a crime – a carpenter had been taken on and...
