Season of Roadblocks and Stalemate
As we go into the summer of 2026, there is no denying the fact that it is going to be a season of impasse, from which there is no easy way out. World leaders have got us into this dreadful situation but cannot find a way to extricate themselves and the world out of the… Continue reading Season of Roadblocks and Stalemate
The Relevance of Marketing’s 4 Ps in the Digital Age
You might wonder what would an advertising professional – a writer at that – know or have to do with the 4Ps of marketing propounded by Philip Kotler decades ago. It’s true, I am not a marketing professional, but having read and studied the 4Ps of marketing as part of my post-graduate one-year course in… Continue reading The Relevance of Marketing’s 4 Ps in the Digital Age

Now, it turns out he has decided to go after Iran along with his accomplice and partner-in-crime if I can call him that, Netanyahu of Israel.… Continue reading Stop the Senseless War in Iran
