Netflix vs Blockbuster

 Netflix vs Blockbuster In the 1990s, Blockbuster was the king of the DVD renting market. It was the launch of Netflix which ended up the company in Bankruptcy. Between the launch of Netflix and Blockbuster Declaring Bankruptcy, there was a war, which went on for years.  Quality x Price Blockbuster as we know was the king of the DVD-renting market.  They were a market leader and a billion-dollar company. The hefty late fees charged by the company were a pain point for Millions of Americans. Around 16 per cent of Blockbuster's Revenue came from Late fees.  Like many other Americans, the founder of Netflix was annoyed by Blockbuster's late fee model. He with his friend started Netflix in 1997 as a DVD in-mail service. They ended up building a subscription-based business model and that too without the late fees making it more affordable to the customer. Quality x Quality By 2004, it had a revenue of 500 Million dollars. The Unique Selling Proposition of Netflix was deli...

In this brief blog post, I want to share my experience of transforming from someone who had never read a single novel, not even the compulsory ones from school, to someone who reads extensively. Although I have not read an enormous number of books, I am proud of the progress I have made. I began my reading journey during my college years to stand out from the crowd through knowledge rather than material possessions. Let me get straight to the point - I began my reading journey with the book "Five point someone" by Chetan Bhagat, which kickstarted my interest in reading. I subsequently read "Wings of Fire", "The subtle art of not giving a fuck", and other books that led me into a journey of voracious reading. Although I have read more than 20 books, I have tried to read 35-40 books in total. I've learned that if a book doesn't pique my interest, it's not my fault, and I just need to keep trying different books until I find one that engages me. J...

A link between Urbanisation and Depression

Hey, it's been a year since I posted a blog. I have been quite overwhelmed with life and a lot happened during those 12 months :) I know you all are doing fantastic with your life in this fast-paced world. So, What comes to mind when I ask you to think about the word "Urbanisation"? Think for a moment! When I think of the word "urbanization," several concepts come to mind: Population growth: The movement of people from rural areas to cities, leading to an increase in the urban population and a decrease in the rural population. Development of cities: The expansion and modernization of cities, including the construction of buildings, roads, and infrastructure. Lifestyle changes: The transformation of lifestyles as people adapt to the fast-paced and highly competitive nature of city life. Environmental impact: The impact of urbanization on the environment, including air and noise pollution, deforestation, and the loss of green spaces. Socioeconomic changes: The imp...

Don't tell them , Show them!

If someone says u cant do it, Do it twice and click the pictures! These were the lines I read a few days ago. I don't remember where I read it, maybe somewhere on a soft board at my University, But it doesn't matter where you see it, u should understand it. We all have experienced some or other kind of mortification or chagrin moments in our life. Even Sir Ratan Tata faced humiliation when he went to "FORD Motors" in early 1998 I think? .When Tata Motors was going through a crisis as Indica was not doing good in the Indian car market and Ratan sir wanted to sell Tata motors to Ford. And their   "They told us 'you do not know anything, why did you start the passenger car division at all'. They said they will do us a favor by buying our car division," recalls a team member who went as a representative of tata motors.   Without uttering a word they came back taking the first flight to India. There they worked on Indica and relaunched in 2000 w...

Pygmalion Effect-Science of Growing

Don't listen to Motivational speakers, the truth is it hurts when someone criticizes you! Negative comments are a part of life and without the fear of critics, most of us can't grow. Sir Ratan Tata grew TATA Motors possibly because he was made fun of at Ford Motors. Even Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes after he was laughed upon by a bowler. But till what amount can we take the critics on us? In some cases, it continuously itches us throughout our life.  So, I wanted to write on this topic for the past few days but wasn't able to find a proper example to show. And then I watched a master Piece by Amir Khan "Taare Zameen Par". Ishaan Awasthi had Nikumb(Amir Khan) but we all don't have the same life story, right? And after all, it was just a movie. Remember the scene where Amir khan visits Ishaan's house and asks his father to read a thing in Chinese, his father fails and Nikumb explains how that child(Ishaan) has always felt when his parents got angry with him when...

Privilege:BOON or BANE?

“What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude.” ―  Brené Brown We all are born with a little or more privilege than others. Sometimes it might be in the form of Health, Money or sometimes you just get everything perfect in your life(these kids can focus on something more important) That's when you notice most of the "Rich kids" opt for different sectors like vlogging blogging getting into Theatres, etc. And many of the "Middle-class kids" try to get a job or practice as doctors or engineers in the future. I am in no way Booming Rich and saying poor and middle class can't do anything in their life. We have many examples amongst us those who were poor but wrote their own destiny with a golden Pen. But some of their Success is relative to where or when they were born. I would like you to play a small game throw a party at your place and invite a few friends (let's say 4). You invite 4 friends of yours and ask each of them to pay you 50 bucks. Ra...

LOVE: Scam of 21st Century!

  What's love? Is it the best combination of Lust and Compassion? Or fear of being alone in an Insta Perfect Society or mere infatuation, with time which converts into Fear of missing that person and probably you marry just not to lose each other. I am not going to tell u about bullshit, like how the chemicals like Dopamine, Oxytocin etc etc release from your brain, and then you fall in Love. That's just a small part of the story. It's more about the Evolution of humans, the Needs of Human and the extension of Species. Like to be honest love is not a Human thing. It's not man-made it's more sought of a mystery to Unveil. I love these lines from the movie Interstellar (Oh! I again used the word "LOVE"). "Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory. So listen to me, when I say that love is not something we invented. It’s observable, powerful. It has to mean something. Love is the one thing that transcends time and space." S...
