It is 1230pm on 01 January 2012.
Welcome to the fist of my blogs for 2012. I do hope that you found all my blogs of 2011 interesting and thought-provoking. I sincerely hope that 2012 will see even-better sharing of ideas and thoughts on innovation between us.
As we begin yet another year and wish each other for happiness, prosperity, success and peace, I am tempted to ask if there are more innovative ways of greeting each other and spreading the goodwill during this festive season. For instance:
(a) Can bookstores (such as Landmark and Crossword in Mumbai) invite their customers to spend all of New Years’ eve at their retail outlets with offers of interacting with popular authors, generous discounts on any books purchased between 11pm and 2am, platforms for children who are aspiring to become poets and writers?
(b) Can cinemas (multiplexes) offer their seats for the New Year evening and night to stand-up comedians, local folk artistes and small music bands for a whole night of assorted entertainment?
(c) Can we not have a night of entertainment at open stadiums with performances from the winners of the previous years’ Janmashtami Govindas ,the Navratri Dandiyas interspersed with street plays?
And can we use social media such as Facebook to webcast these performances live to spread the cheer across to other cultures in other parts of the country and perhaps the world?
Wishing you all the very best in 2012 and looking forward to a great year in the blogosphere known as Sujavna.
