If it’s one thing I hate more than an institute that teaches people to MANAGE things like the IIM, it’s an institute that teaches people to PLAN and MANAGE. An institute like this has been around for quite a while in India and is called the IIPM (Indian Institute Of Planning And Management).It is also endorsed by Monty Ahluwalia, the hon-her-able deputy chairman of the Planning Commission.
It’s headed by a fellow called Arindam Chaudhuri who is basically the Paris Hilton of the corporate world. People keep giving him work despite not being sure what he does exactly. Thank God he didn’t at least make a sex tape.
He irritates me to such an extent that the day I see him ,I’m going to yank him by his ridiculously oily ponytail and flush him down the nearest toilet. Oil prices are going up because this loose character uses almost all of it in combing his hair.
Now this guy has gone ahead and started producing movies. His latest movie is one called ‘The Last Lear’ starring Amitabh Bachchan.
No one in their right mind would have ever seen this film, so what does Arindam do?
He tells the Bachchans to piss Raj Thackeray off to such an extent that his MNS goons go ahead and vandalize every poster of this movie.
All this started when Jaya Bachchan insisted on speaking Hindi instead of Marathi at a function. She insisted because at the same function Priyanka Chopra was not sure which language to speak in.Priyanka finally decided to speak in Hindi.Priyanka is also the same person who taught Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta how to speak in Hindi.
Raj Thackeray was pissed at all this and sent his Marathi army after any medium that showed or endorsed anything connected to the Bachchans. Those guys vented their anger at posters and theatres showing ‘The Last Lear’.
The media considered this to be ‘Breaking News’ and gave it extreme importance.
The result of all this is a massive publicity campaign for this film which no one would have seen but will now see since it is a film considered to be ‘Highly Controversial’ or ‘Breathtaking’ or one that contains ‘Splendid Camera Work’ or ‘Highlights Arjun Rampal’s Charisma As An Actor’. All these are not my views but those endorsed by highly educated film critics.
It’s a brilliant way to bring attention to a movie which would have been a sure fire flop. This method of marketing a film is taught exclusively at the IIPM.Special lectures are delivered on the subject by none other than the oily headed pony tail bearer: Arindam Chaudhuri.
Much of this method is also found in the book authored by Arindam Chaudhuri called ‘Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch’ which is also the most preferred book of poultry farmers worldwide. Its sales almost double whenever there is an epidemic of Bird Flu.
I needed to learn more about this guy so I had Mini-J dig up all the information possible about him. He could only get this information from Arindam’s website which also contains pictures of Arindam describing him as ‘The Management Guru’, ‘The Economist’ and ‘The Philosopher’. These terms were coined by the same film critics mentioned above.
I will add one more term to describe him: ‘The PONYTAILED JACKASS’.

SirG,
How wonderfully right you are and I did land up to see the Big B Shakespeare Act yesterday and yes without the media you can't move lazy Indians to do anything even to change the channel you need them to be reminded again and again whats happening in whose house. OOH Media also believes this. And not forgetting our handy toy you need SMS after SMS to remind us Pick Me Up.
SirG, Why are we so vulnerable to listen and act to some body else's madness & tunes ?
Are we the new AGYAKARI INDIANS?
Or is it the colonial hangover? British turned American!!!
Vinod Agarwal - (sporting Pony Tail Since 2 years)
the oily ponytail, these guy is really pathetic. india needs educated people and this guy is teaching nonsense. make money but thru right way, where is value creation. ask his students they simply curse him. hindustan mein people can easily sell anything and he is expert doing it. better than IIM's i feel sorry for all the students who study at his so called IIPM. but i salute him the only choice left to him to become a politician and he will become we need more people like him who distroys value. indians are famous for that.
No Vinod,
We aren't agyakari,we care that's all.We have big hearts because of cholestrol problems.
Anonymous - Arindam creates value out of non-value.He is described by planners and managers as a genius.
Rakesh-using saffola oil since '93 to avoid getting a big heart.
LOL!!!!
What a ripping!!! Hilarious!!
But everything said and done, this fellow does know his business (of Money). He sells awfully expensive dreams to youngsters foolish enough to buy them.

Dear K10,
Such a market is available and is Bigger than Arindam's market.It's called Politics and all you need is a kurta pyjama and the ability to do namaste.
Sir,
I have recently come from US inspired by your success story. I have a passion for equities and have started a small blog http://www.knowvestor.com. What would I need to do to meet you for 10 minutes?
Thanks !
Hemal
In order to meet me for 10 minutes you must first find a man on Dalal Street and get to know him.After getting to know Vestor,you can meet me for 10 minutes.
Sir,In this virtual world I was trading online after my day job when the US of A was sleeping and hence out of touch with the real "Dalal Street". Many a times I would narrate potential multibagger stories than consulting about the software I had to sell.
May I suggest you meet me as if I am a candidate seeking a job (learn) with you. You show the door to me in 10 minutes if I am in the wrong place.Best,Hemal

Superb and very well said. there is no bigger con than Arindam...
Gaurav,
Con,I think genius is a better term.
The cover photo of Count Your Chickens.... it makes him look like a hen. I crack up everytime I see it.
Wonder if the publisher came up with the name after seeing the photo.
Count your chickens LOL
Saad,
Once again a SAD statement from you.Cracking is for the hens who are yet to hatch.That's what Arindam is talking about.
