IT skills: What's hot, what's not

Retailers change language of luxury to woo new rich


Retailers change language of luxury to woo new rich

getimage.jpg
NEW DELHI: Priya Sachdev Chatwal, who sells international luxury brands such as Alexander McQueenLanvin and Stella McCartney brands in India, sometime last year noticed that several new visitors looked lost in her multi-brand chain Kitsch.

So she hired some stylists at her Mumbai outlet to guide such customers through different brands, styles, combinations, fashion trends that suit them, and instructed her staff to talk to them in local dialect if that makes them more comfortable. It proved a masterstroke. It helped her nurture many customers who are among her top clients today.

A growing band of nouveau riche with an urge to splurge on luxury lifestyle is forcing retailers to redefine luxury marketing in the country by getting staff to converse in local dialect and adopt homely etiquettes.

"Luxury cannot afford to intimidate," says Chatwal, chief operating officer and creative director of TSG International Marketing, which runs Kitsch.

This new class of luxury consumers is not necessarily aware of the trends emerging out of the fashion houses in Paris and Milan and, often, picks up the costliest item off the shelf partly because they cannot tell between labels. They find the opulence of shops in five-star hotels and Englishspeaking salespersons intimidating.

Realising this, luxury retailers are stepping out of starred hotels on to the street-side malls, hiring people who can converse in the local dialect and training staff afresh in retail etiquettes to make customers feel at home and educate them on brands.

"You have to accommodate the rich and the new rich under the same roof," says Chatwal. And that's perhaps the biggest challenge for luxury retailers in India.

RICH AND CONFUSED While there is one set of clients that flies to Champs Elysees in Paris to pick up their favourite totes and clutches from Louis Vuitton's flagship store, there is the other who wants to buy "that thing" Aishwarya Rai wore in a recent Bollywood flick.

"Which language to converse in is a key decision that the store staff needs to take, quickly," says Nikhil Mehra, VP at Genesis Luxury, which represents brands such as CanaliJimmy Choo andBottega Veneta, and has a JV with Burberry in India. Prof Abraham Koshy, professor of marketing at IIM-A, says the two sets of consumers will co-exist.

The luxury market in India is growing at 20% ayear and is expected to expand to $14.7 billion by 2015, from $5.8 billion currently, according to a recent report by The Economic Times, CII andAT Kearney. "The nouveau rich consumer is more ostentatious in his behaviour and luxury products allow him to make a statement," says Prof Koshy.

New ISI chief shares tenuous link with Shah Rukh Khan


New ISI chief shares tenuous link with Shah Rukh Khan
Pakistan's new ISI chief Lt Gen Zahir-ul-Islam shares a tenuous link with Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's new ISI chief, Lt Gen Zahir-ul-Islam, is the nephew of Indian National Army hero Shah Nawaz Khan and through him, shares a tenuous link withBollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.

Islam's father served as a brigadier in the Pakistan Army and Shah Nawaz Khan, who was a major general in the INA led by Subhas Chandra Bose, was his uncle, leading Pakistani defence analyst Ikram Sehgal told PTI.

"One son of Shah Nawaz Khan went with him at the time of Partition, while another, Mahmood Nawaz, stayed on in Pakistan and became a full colonel. In fact, Mahmood Nawaz went and met his father only after retirement as he could not travel to India while he was in service," Sehgal said, providing details of the new ISI chief's extended family.

Shah Rukh Khan's late mother Lateef Fatima was the adopted daughter of Shah Nawaz Khan, according to the Bollywood star's biography on several websites.

Islam, who was yesterday appointed the new head of the powerful spy agency by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, comes from a military family and was born in the garrison city of Rawalpindi. It could not immediately be ascertained whether Islam had ever met Shah Nawaz Khan, who died in 1983.

Shah Nawaz Khan was himself born at Kahuta and served in the British Indian Army during World War II. He was captured when Japanese troops overran Singapore in 1942 and then joined the INA. He subsequently fought alongside Japanese forces against the British in Burma (now Myanmar).

Shah Nawaz Khan was captured by the British and put on trial with other INA officers in 1946. They were convicted for treason but were discharged due to intense pressure from the public.

He later joined the Congress party and was elected to the Lok Sabha four times. Before Islam's appointment as the ISI chief, some media reports had suggested that Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan's uncle Maj Gen Isfandyar Ali Khan Pataudi, a deputy director general in the spy agency, was in the running for the top slot. However, sources told PTI that Pataudi was never seen as a serious contender for the post of ISI chief.

Akhilesh Yadav: SP govt to focus on maintaining law and order


I will fulfill all my promises: Akhilesh Yadav
I will fulfill all my promises: Akhilesh Yadav
LUCKNOW: Law and order will be the priority of the new SP government in Uttar Pradesh, chief minister- designate Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said, maintaining that no discrimination will be made on the basis of caste and creed.
Soon after his name was finalised by party legislators and MPs for the post of Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav said honest officers will be appointed in districts and action would be taken against those who show laxity in their job.
38-year-old Akhilesh Yadav stressed that no one involved in illegal activities would be spared.
The SP legislative party leader, who would be taking oath as chief minister on March 15, said all the promises made in the party manifesto would be fulfilled by the SP government.
About memorials and parks constructed in the BSP regime, Akhilesh said that vacant places in memorials might be utilised for opening up of medical or educational institutions.
About the role of party supremo and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav, Akhilesh said that he would remain active in national as well as state politics and with his blessing the state government would run.
To a question related to his ministry, Akhilesh said, "We will let you know whatever decision is taken. Give me some time".
Akhilesh later met Governor BL Joshi with party leaders Mohammad Azam Khan and Shivpal Singh Yadav and informed him about the decision of the party and the date for oath taking ceremony.
The party has already staked claim for forming the government in the state on March 7 when SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav met the governor with Akhilesh.
The election of Akhilesh Yadav, who holds a masters in environmental engineering from Australia, was followed by a thunderous clapping of the assembled gathering of newly-elected MLAs and MPs of the party.
As soon as his name was approved, Akhilesh touched the feet of his 73-year-old father Mulayam Singh Yadav to take his blessings.
That Akhilesh, who toured Uttar Pradesh on his 'kranti rath yatra' on the plank of development, could be in the race for chiefministership was evident when the party got an absolute majority in the 403-member Assembly by winning 224 seats, notwithstanding the reservations of some seniors.
Akhilesh was also instrumental in the party shedding its image of being opposed to computers and English with promise of free laptops for students.
However, in the last two days Mulayam Singh reportedly worked on the seniors and persuaded them about handing over the mantle of chiefministership to his son, who now represents Kannauj in the Lok Sabha.
In his speech, Azam Khan, considered the Muslim face of SP, said Akhilesh was being given a big responsibility and hoped he would discharge it successfully. He rejected Mayawati's claim that Muslims shifted to SP because of the fear of BJP and said the Muslims were always with the SP from the days of Babri Masjid demolition.
"The party got more votes than it got after Babri mosque demolition", Khan added.

I'll do the talking Lyrics


Yeah.. from the old school to the new school
We keep it clean
We doin' it live
From India to Russia

Let it go!

Let's go...
Let's go...
Check 1.. Check 2..
Aah.. lights!

I'll do the talking tonight
Dil diyan gallan-challan kar le zara
I'll do the talking tonight
Hungama halla-gulla kar le zara
Jo hona hona hona tha ho chuka hai woh
Guzra woh pal hai tera
Hai tere tere tere jo samne abhi
Bas yehi pal hai tera
Steal the night, inn hothon pe saja le
Baitha kyun tanha
Feel the vibe n jashn manaa le
Jee le har lamha
Nan-nan na na na ra na...
Kash maar ke uda de zindagi ka saara gham
Nan-nan na na na ra na...
Jee le haq se bhula de saare reham o karam

Make a move
Baby don't you don't you scare a bit
And aren't you aren't you tell the truth
Cuz, I got you, got you
Teri manmaani maine pehchaani yaara
Find yourself make khoja khoja
Pee ke tight zara hoja hoja
Through the night kare mauja mauja
Baby listen to me

I'll do the talking tonight
Tu cheeni ishq di chakh le zara
I'll do the talking tonight
Tu Roosi goriyaan nu takk le zara

Jo khoya khoya khoya hai tera kahin dil
Tere dillagi ki hai sazaa
Haan jaane jaane jaane de kho gaya hai toh
Lele haal-e-dil ka mazaa
Steal the night, inn hothon pe saja le
Baitha kyun tanha
Feel the vibe and jashn manaa le
Jee le har lamha
Nan-nan na na na ra na...
Kash maar ke uda de zindagi ka saara gham
Nan-nan na na na ra na...
Jee le haq se bhula de saare reham o karam
Nan-nan na na na ra na...

Pyaar ki pungi lyrics

Bangle ke peechhe hai taala
Ghusu kahaan se main saala
Laila ki khidki khuli hai
Khidki ke neeche hai naala
Khidki pe koi khada hai
Laila ka taaka bhida hai
Mazzey udaati hai..
Meri mohabbat ki pooch maar ke

O meri jaan o meri jaan
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar

[O meri jaan o meri jaan 
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar]

Bangle ke peechhe hai taala
Ghusu kahaan se main saala
Laila ki khidki khuli hai
Khidki ke neeche hai naala
Khidki pe koi khada hai
Laila ka taaka bhida hai
Mazzey udaati hai..
Meri mohabbat ki pooch maar ke

O meri jaan o meri jaan
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi bajaa kar
O meri jaan o meri jaan 
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar

Hmm.. sabko toh parsad baante
Main maangu toh mujhko daante
Auron pe gaalon pe pappi
Mere hi gaalon pe chaante
Laila hai girgit ke jaisi
Table pe tirkit ke jaisi
Lipstick ka thappa lagati hai
Gaalon pe smooch maar ke

O meri, o meri, o meri meri meri meri
Meri aah, O meri ooh.. 
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki uhh! bajaa kar

[O meri jaan, o meri jaan 
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar] - x2

P to the U to the N to the G to the I
The pungi pungi
Naye zamane ki Laila hoon main
Teri pungi baja ke rahungi - x2

Love you my honey, you're very funny
Now spend all your money, my macho my stud
My koochi my poochi please get my Gucci
Even if you have to sell all your blood..

Haaye jhoothi kasmein jhoothe vaade
Mujhe English mein ratta kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar

[O meri jaan o meri jaan
Mere ko majnu bana kar
Kahaan chal di, kahaan chal di
Pyaar ki pungi baja kar] -x2

Dil mera muft ka Lyrics


Phenke nazar ke sikke usne
Bik gayi hoon main
Usne jo chhoo liya tto
Lagey ke nayi hoon main

Yun tto premi pachattar humare
Leja tu kar satattar ishaare
Dil mera... muft ka
Khamkkha hi taraste bichare
Leja tu kar satattar ishaare
Dil mera... muft ka

Hai naiyyo soneya tere bin guzara (x3)

Dil ke dukandar hai doosre bhi
Hum thoda achhe hain, woh hai farebi
Ni me kamli kamli 
Ni me kamli kam.....
Haan Dil ke dukandar hai doosre bhi
Hum thoda achhe hain, woh hai farebi
Mehnga hai dil, sabke bas ka nahi ye
Bikna hai par teri khaatir mujhe bhi
Aaj baazar hi bik gaya re
Leja tu kar satattar ishaare
Dil mera... muft ka

Ho yun tto premi pachattar humare
Leja tu kar satattar ishaare
Dil mera... muft ka
