We need Balance of peace

For some peace is to rage war and for some peace is to stop war or go against it. Its obvious most of the powerful nations in the world love war games. Now wars are more towards economy than the destruction of infrastructure.

This can been in Pakistan as a prime example. We all love our country thats what we all say but do we really mean it. Our country is being destroyed on daily basis but we still are sitting at home and saying Allah pay chor do. We pakistani muslims leave everything on Allah. Why cant we pray that God give me power to bring peace and stability and unity among all Muslim world.

Our balance for peace has been destroyed and i guess can never restore again. We are trying to get justice in the country but in return we are getting more and more unrest and uncertainity.
The balance of power is being used in the country but we are doing nothing. I guess we will start thinking only when they get to our homes. We know no one is a saint in the country but hey we need to stand up and fight. We have to give our lives in order to secure our future. What we need another raid of Ayetullah Khomeni. He was the founder of present Iran. We a need a leader like him to whom we can put our complete trust.

I say again we need balance of peace that can give us a hope to live at least. Fighting is not the solution to anything just destruction and thats what is happening right now. For the sake of your children and god unite and fight before its too late.

Slumdog Millionaire - Something out of ordinary

A movie which im sure no one had anticipated to go so big in no time. A story that has touched millions around the world. It was simple but beautiful presented. The stars of the movie outshined many big stars in hollywood and bollywood cinema.

Even i did'nt like the movie at first. I did'nt even bother to look at its reviews or listen to its song. It did'nt appeal me till one day i went to my friends home and there i saw it on cable TV. At i found it a little interesting and later on could'nt get up from my seat till the movie ended.

A nice piece of work i must say. Some piece of art are meant to be understood with period of time and thats what happened here with me. I did'nt understand it first but later i realized what would i have missed if i had'nt watch the movie.

Slumdog millionaire no doubt got my attention and made me realize that you dont need big stars to make a good movie. But sometimes a good story with creative skills can bring good for you.

Brand Understanding

We ourselves come under brand terminology. Everyday we present ourselves to others and share ideas, experiences, work and emotions. People start making assumptions and perceptions when they meet other people. This is what as a consumer we do when see a brand for the first time or in some new look. We can be termed as a name, symbol, color, term, shape or combination of all these in order to portray ourselves as brands.

But question is do we need brands or its the quaulity of the product or service we require?
Is a brand a need or a want and Is a brand a need first and then want or vice versa?
Is a brand a need and want at the same time?


Answer to first question is that at the end of the day we want the services of the product. Which ever brand it maybe as long as it satisfies the consumer its perfect in consumer mind. Brands are made so that it can identify itself as superior from other products. With branding we can understand a products attributes and quality. We do require branding otherwise we won't be able to differentiate between good products and the bad products. If i dont have a name then people wont be able to recognize me. So branding is important.

Now coming to the second question is a brand a need or a want? For some it might be a need and for some it might be a want. Lets take the following examples. A young teenager sitting with friends at a park. He finds out that all his friends have ipod and he does'nt. It would make him inferior and will get the urge to own one. This is due to peer pressure. The young teenager would try to persuade his parents to get him one. Lets suppose he gets it. The question here is, did he really need it. Perhaps not at the time he wanted it so deperately. So at this moment of time its a want. But later on when that young teenager uses the ipod and finds out its usage , he would realize that its a need for him now. Like with his ipod he can listen to music while he is on move. He can upload his data on to the ipod. He can share music and other data with his friends. These things which were not a want for him now have become a need.

Lets take another example now, mobile phones e.g. Nokia when came into the market they were not a need. They were expensive and not everyone could afford it. So at that period of time it was a want. But as time passed and the mobile phone became cheaper it became a need forevery one. Now every teenager like to have a mobile phone before having anything else. Its a desperate need now not just for youngsters but also for family members to stay in contact with their loved ones. So here a brand would become a need.

Coming to next question that is a brand a need and a want at the same time. Lets take an example of smoking. A guy who did'nt use to smoke gets into habit of smoking with the help of a friend. At first he would smoke less and less but over a period of time he would develop taste for a specific brand. So for this guy smoking a cigeratte is a need and smoking a specific brand is a want. So we see the difference with above example that a brand can be a need and also a want at the same time.

These are issues that might seem not important but when it comes to feelings, emotions, joys and experiences these things do matter.

We can change our preferences any time we like but the need and want factors will always remain inside us forever.
