- You see a gorgeous girl at a party and you go up to her and say " I'm rich!Marry me"- That is Direct Marketing
- You see a gorgeous girl at a party and you get her telephone number. The next day you call her up and say " I'm well off! Marry me!"- That is tele-marketing.
My earlier blogs were mostly on serious issues like GLOBALIZATION and ENTREPRENEURSHIP and I thank my friends and critics for giving both positive and negative criticisms and encouraged me to think on other issues as well. Hats off!!I have now chosen to blog on a much lighter topic for a change... I have used the male gender for the ease of writing..... It goes here............
"Its the first time that frightens" said George Bernard Shaw in his play "Pygmalion" when Eliza Doolittle, a Covent Garden flower girl with a cockney accent is transformed into a counterfeit aristocrat and ascends the kerbstone to prove her competency in front of a panel of judges who hail from the aristocratic families. On similar lines any guy would have had his heart beating fast when he had to approach his so called "crush" for the first time. From time immemorial the fear of "approaching" fades away when we reach our adulthood and this holds true with most people.
I have often suggested my friends and peers that one of key ways to improve one's English is by flirting with a girl who has excellent communication skills in English. Jokes apart!! It has worked out for most people successfully and that is the reason I am blogging on the same. The key factor behind the success is that every person speaks in English with the opposite sex firstly to impress them. Secondly to exhibit their competency in the language and thirdly to show their vocabulary. In the process of flirting his partner the person carefully picks up the word he uses and in course of time he attains a fine command over the language (at least to some extent).Though reading books and editorials helps to a good extent the above said technique have struck a cord with most people who don't read much.
In the process of flirting one tends to explain his character, his strengths, his weakness and that helps him analyze himself properly. If you have noticed that guys who have a girlfriend are far more confident than those without one. They have a proper analogy of their personality (unless you are single and have taken the MBTI).Flirting also helps people.
The word flirting may be a kind of a "bad word" or a "bad man's way of approach" for most people, but according to me its a strategy of self marketing. People in Coimbatore (most of them) for that matter think it is wrong if a guy and a girl go out or flirt. That is preposterous. I would say that the guy knows how to market himself to the world at large. There would have been the "first time" fear among most people but it vanishes the moment you overcome the small hurdle.Flirting in not mere way of approaching but also an art that one has to master in his lifetime.When a guy tends to hone this art an enhancement in his personality is observed- sense of dressing changes, etiquette improves and so on.
Imagine a guy Karan who has mastered this art to some extent and another guy Vivin who has not and they work in a firm owned by a shrewd female !!!! Phew!!Both work on a project having 6 modules and have completed 5!! When called on the carpet for not finishing the task on time, Vivin in most cases will have a small face and blink like the smiley of Yahoo Messenger.The boss gets pissed off and slams the report on the desk and asks him to bugger off!! Now comes the turn of Karan who has mastered the art. Dressed in a tailored beige trouser and copper red shirt he makes entry to the executive office. The young boss scans him from head to toe and her temper comes down like the raging fire that is humbled by a fire extinguisher. Like any other female boss she looks at him menacingly and before she utters a word," Hmmmm, Boss where in this world did you get such a wonderful perfume?" exclaims Karan sensing the mood of his boss."I guess you have used Donna Karen's Be Delicious Red Perfume " though she has used Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, " and the Tequila colored suit accentuates your finesse!!" says Karan with a flashing smile.Her fiery mood is now in ashes. " Boss the module shall be completed in another 3 hours" informs Karan with an imploring look in his eyes.Flattered by his approach she acknowledges him with a rather sensuous smile and he goes scot free much to the astonishment of his colleagues.
Flirting shall come in handy in most of the tough situations, if you have mastered the art!!Now you may agree that flirting is Owner's Pride and Neighbour's Envy!!Guys n gals use this art positively, you can market yourself effectively and you can go places. When misused it will back fire at you!!The book "Street Guide to Flirting" by Andrew Bryant and Micheal Lia Lewis will help you master the art. Try reading it!!

The example that you have mentioned here is a more rare a situation or should I say sounds nice while telling to another person. You could hav included a much practical situation. But point taken. Healthy flirting can be useful in many ways. In view of psychologists, recent studies show healthy flirting improves the self esteem of the guy or a gal and keeps them off many of the negative thoughts. All these accepted provided the youngsters know where to draw the line...
Try to come to the point soon and do not drag the point bcos it might bore the readers. Try to be brief in your views!!Could ve chosen a better topic!
It was nice reading your blog.A guy or a gal of my age would enjoy reading such kind of interesting things as the age tends to.
"Flirting is Marketing".Wow!!! It would be good if u spread this note in an Indian way.I mean to say that even the people who are there along with you should accept this.Even the elders should accept such things(our mum n dad).Will that be possible.Create an interesting blog that would persuade our elders.
This was my view regarding your blog.Wish you good luck for your next innovative blog.
Well!!! This blog has in a way has taught me as to how impractical and non-sensical people can get!!! The point wriiten in the blog that a person who has a girlfriend is far confident than the one who doesn't is complete assumption without any stand. This point is utterly unsubstantial!!This shows that the author f this blog has taken for granted that girls approach guys by the brand of the perfume that they use and not by an invaluable thing called as character and ettiquetts!!!this blog may have been written on a lighter note.....but my point is....if flirting wud help learn english so much then guys should have been the pandits of the language than gals which is not true!!!
My!!! what a blog.. enjoyed reading and had an hearty laugh.. thanks for the same.. jokes apart.. firstly the most debated topic is marketing which involves emotions of the people.Is marketing a technique??? am not sure. Psycology and Marketing go hand in hand. something rational to u may be irrational to others. secondly.. the way you portrayed that flattery could do wonders is a kind of unaccepted theory. Thirdly,flirting may surely fetch results either positive or negative.. depending on the person whom ur trying to flirt with. now a days everyone is getting smarter and the example u hv cited of a boss getting flattered by the comments of her/his sub-ordinate.. am sorry i have no words to say of the sheer imaginations.. last but not the least, i would like to congratulate prashanth for taking up a such a topic and having presented in a lighter tone and in the most enjoyable manner..when everyone is busy presenting very heated and serious blogs in view of the society, this blog comes like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. hats off my dear!!!
Admittedly, I read only half your blog, but I THINK I get the message, but I disagree. Why is ENGLISH so important? Why is a person who speaks fluent English any better than you, let alone more confident! Can a man not woo his woman if he can't speak English at all?
Just a thought, 2 cents worth!
We love you Blog
mr.sathu....
