Business: Pizza Hut is no longer a brand for me!!!

Pizza Hut - the name itself would probably remind everyone of some or the other fond memories and cause some serious churning of gastric juices. For example we had our first date at Pizza hut. I also remember vividly, the first time my daughter tried a spicy veg pizza and said "Papa isme se Mirchi nikal ke do" However, this Saturday the 24th of September, 2011 Pizza Hut ceased to be a loved and trusted brand for me.

IndiaShining: Hum Laye Hain Toofan Se Kisti Nikal Ke, Ish Desh Ko Rakhna Mere Bachho Sambhal Ke



Rambhai's recent post inspired me to go and search for this video on youtube. This is a song from the movie Jagruti, that my Mom used to sing for me. When I listened to it again, I felt that it is still so relevant and therefore decided to post it even at the risk of sounding like a sentimental fool.

Pay attention to lyrics at 3.00. The world is feeling secure over a stockpile of nuclear weapons. Don't forget in your luxuries that it is time to touch the skies.

Let us not forget where we came from and where we need to go as we make piles of money. Money is only means to an end.
