The new service makes it possible for a user to link a website accessible to his or her WhatsApp account. Browsers such as Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported.

Though Leadership can take various forms based on the situation the team and leader is in as discussed in my earlier post, the basis of any leadership is Trust. Leadership involves people and people work on trust. Though there are numerous definition on trust and “the right thing to do” to create trust, both in print and

Defining leadership is difficult. One size fits all approach in leadership is in effective as the elements involved are both internal and external on which most of the leaders find difficult to control.

Finnair has a very creative social media team and as an Indian, still remember the flash dance in a flight leaving for Delhi to celebrate the Indian Republic Day. This was 2 years back and the video has garnered over 5,235,462 views, 16,771 likes and over 6000 comments at the time of this post. This also meant Finnair flew straight into the Indian hearts with no big budget marketing

Abstract: The story of an airplane, lost in a storm, and what difference it makes to the Radar... This was composed by me almost 13 years back.

As per the social media team at Sunfeast YiPPee!’s, their manifesto is to provide long, non-sticky and tasty noodles.

When Finnair did something similar 2 years back for Republic Day, they not just enthralled the passengers but cruised straight into the Indian hearts. The otherwise not so creative team at FlySpiceJet copied the concept this Holi. Appreciate the enthusiasm but not the bit of the Pilot leaving cockpit and recording and cheering.

Indigo Flight 6E031 undercarriage catches fire which I feel is a landing which overheated the undercarriage complemented by an hydraulic leak probably which is again a reflection of poor service.

Indigo is 7 years and old and seems like Jetairways is already celebrating. They have checkmated any Indigo offers with their 7 days, 7 lakhs seats offer. Let's see what Indigo has up its sleeves. What Indigo can do- The best they can do is to replicate the same offer but do it for 7 weeks. Price war at this stage with Jetairways is slightly tricky but an offer is required else it would have

I got a rude shock when I saw the battery was shown charging when the charger was unplugged. I had the phone on  a car charger when on a long drive before this issue set it.  And the worst thing to happen was upon shutting down the Samsung Galaxy S2, it didn't boot and had the battery charging logo flashing...and it was never plugged to a charger.

Why did they have to resort to this campaign Indigo gets arrogant in their attitude by making fun of their competition. I was surprised to get this mailer with a teaser on the Jet Privilege Program.
