Episode #33 - The Great Indian Festival!!!

Filed under: Podcast, Movies, Business, Celebs

Indicast celebrates one year!!! Indicast style salaam to all our listeners who have stayed with us throughout! Keep those comments coming in. We love em’ all. Also, we have created a record of sorts in this podcast. It is one of those pacy episodes with a file size that won’t annoy you!

It is that time of the year when India gets a face lift… literally. The festival of lights and fire crackers lightens up the country. And with it comes sweets and the ‘faral’! “Diwali shopping” is a trend which all Indians look forward to and live up to it in style by saving some bucks for the D day. I went shopping too and learnt that shopping is a social science! Listen to know more!

While an Asian has been awarded with the Nobel Peace prize, we discuss the reasons why Gandhi missed the bus.

Don disappoints! But, sure is a treat for all SRK fans. Go watch it… at your own risk! This podcast is dedicated to the Indian film industry! Tell us what you think!

India Inc. is on a high internationally. We are on an expansion mode and we decided to cover the exploits of a few companies which have made us proud!

Episode Notes:

  • Tata steel and Mittal steel rock!
  • Grameen spawns an $800 Microfinance industry to wipe off poverty! Ambitious, but, getting there! ?
  • Grameen bank founder, entrepreneur, social worker Mohd Yunus gets a nobel for Peace!
  • Why is there no Nobel in Mathematics? Interesting stuff!!!

Yours Internetally,
Abhishek

Episode # 29: For God, Country and Mahim Cola!

The Gods must be crazy! Well, that’s what a rational man in his right minds would say to his god fearing friend if the latter were to believe in the “Mahim Sweet-Water Miracle”! We, at Indicast are God fearing men as well, but, we fear science as much as we do God! There is a thin line between science and supernatural and we are careful not to disappoint God by believing in his “miracles” blindly!

20th August, 2006 marked the end of an era. Narayan Murthy, the founder and now, Chief Mentor of Infosys will not be on the payroll of Infosys anymore.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK) inspires a husband to shoot his wife!

Episode # 28: Cola 1 :: Tea 0

Damn! They spend millions in advertising and nobody seems to care. And, now, suddenly they breed a few bacteria in their products and the country sits up to take notice! Well, I don’t know whether advertising helps increase sales, but, negative publicity can sure hinder sales! Pepsi and Coke, the notorious giants are in the News again.

In this episode we have mentioned a few statistics from the CSE reports and a few other blogs. It wasn’t hard to conclude that it is far safer to have a glass of pepsi that to have a cup of tea!

We enter the 60th year of independence! Aditya rattles off interesting bits of trivia about the country. I play the devil’s advocate.

Tell us what you think.

Episode Notes:

  • Cola Con: A highly opinionated Article
  • Gurcharan Das, the former Vice President and Managing Director, Procter & Gamble Worldwide seems to agree with us on the cola issue! Or is it vice versa?
  • Indra Nooyi in elite company, is only the 11th woman to head a Fortune 500 Co. - Pepsi Co!
  • Hindustan Times Special coverage on i-day

Abhishek
