Re: Re: Re: Truth by Dhritiman Gangopadhyay on Apr 23, 2010 06:47 PM @Pankaj & Iota (funny name), Have you heard of the 4 Ps of marketing? Product is one of them. But the other 3 viz.Price, Place & Promotion are equally important. You seem to be one of those conceited technical persons who thinks that he is the be all and end all of everything.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Re: Enough copy-pasting old articles by Nischal Ever on Apr 23, 2010 04:06 PM its good to know that you follow rediff so regularly over the past so many years. but for some who are reading this for the first time today it is still inspiring to them and it counts. Especially in a country like India where people dont hesitate to commit suicide for anything and everything this might be playing a huge differentiator if he happens to read this article even incidentally. so dont get excited just because you read it 3 yrs back or 5 yrs back. The rest do appreciate it. Move on... guys    Forward   |   Report abuse
