Apologies..Updates...Promises....Suggestions?

Hi people…true to the title…allow me to begin by apologising for not updating the blog for the past month. (I know that this apology implicitly assumes that some/all of you liked the blog and liked it so much so as to feel bad about the dirth of new posts…but I’ll request you to play along and not break it to me.) In my defence, the last few weeks have been turbulent…with one stint ending (Yup…sales stint is over) and another beginning…there was a lot of stuff happening. Also, post Rajasthan, Mumbai was a cultural shock that I’m still adjusting to.

Not to mention, that post sales…the number of stories to report have gone down considerably. The good news is that I still have some of the sales stuff to report…so the fun shall go on for some time. So I shall be defaulting on my promise that with each stint we shall begin a new book of the BLT series…because I am sure that nothing is gonna match upto book 1.

Moving on to some updates…Well the sales stint ended and I am now in my Customer Marketing stint. (I again assume this matters to you…kindly follow protocol and play along.) It is a 6 week stint in Bombay where I shall try and figure out why we shop the way we shop. Another update – If you had read the post called ‘Kiss of Death’…you might be interested in knowing that the wholesaler I talked of in that post…well he went into Coma…came out…and then few days later died due to some infection that the bullet had left. Randomness – I bow to thee!

As a logical conclusion…I once again promise that henceforth…the blog shall remain updated…that I shall soon write all that is in the pipeline…clear my back log…and begin the second book hopefully before the end of the second stint.
On a parting note – I must confess that post Sales…there may not be many interesting incidents/experiences to report…as I shall have a proper office job. So in rare case that you actually did like what this Blog was all about…do feel free to put in your suggestions about what path should it proceed on henceforth. Should I make it a ‘Marketing Funda from Real Life’ sort of a blog…should I continue with experiences but and live with the fact that they shall be lesser…anything you feel…
