pringOO and Flickr come together to offer great pictures on great merchandise

A picture is definitely worth more than a thousand words. The worldwide craze of sharing thoughts, pictures and everyday lives has taken many forms. There are few net junkies interested in photography, imaging tools or simply browsing through great photography who are not yet enamored by Yahoo’s ‘Flickr’ application. Flickr is touted as the “best online photo management and sharing application” across the world. Flickr allows you to open a basic account for free where you and upload, edit, organize, and share your photographs. You can also keep track of your favorite posts and keep in touch with existing friends and make new friends online. The possibilities attached with Flickr are virtually limitless. And now, it adds another cap to its feather – you can now print your favorite pictures on various merchandises such as coffee mugs, T-shirts, teddy bears, and create a unique gift for your loved ones or use them to make an individualistic style statement. The people who have facilitated this are the folks at pringOO.com, a vibrant place that allows you to customize, personalize and even monetize your creativity. So don’t wait, get going now!

An Entrepreneurs’ meet was organized by Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) at IIMA on 28th and 29th June ‘08. It was an initiative to bring together entrepreneurs from IIM Ahmedabad who quit cushy jobs to carve out their own corporate empires.

Prayaas is IIMA students’ initiative to provide education to children living in slums around IIMA and enable them to merge in the social mainstream. In order to create awareness of Prayaas, they have put up a stall in this event and were looking a way to raise fund for their charity. PringOO strongly believes in giving back to society, so it came forward and became sole sponsor of the t-shirts. All the money collected from t-shirt sell went to Prayaas. They got a very good response, and only about 20 t-shirts were left out of 200, for which they have a shop within the campus, which would be able to sell them.

The event started at 9pm on Saturday and ended at about 7pm on Sunday. There were more than 300 alums who participated (as expected), apart from the faculty and students. All the sessions in the 2 days had the auditorium filled to its complete capacity and students had to sit on stairs for many of the sessions.

The Prayaas stall being the only one around, had more than 90% of the people enquiring at least once about its activities. A large majority inquired about pringoo.com for the poster mentioned it at the top. The aim was also to create awareness for not many of the incoming alums were aware of Prayaas’s initiative. The alums were enlightened about the Prayaas initiative and also how pringOO was supporting their cause with what their work involves.

Laura Parkin from the Wadhwani Foundation and the National Entrepreneurship Network was also present at the event. She herself bought two t-shirts. She mentioned that pringOO was doing a great job and congratulated the founder, Mr. Jai Kumar personally.
The purpose of Prayaas was more or less achieved and with pringOO working along with them and as team they sure did fulfill their promise of delivering a great show and that too with STYLE.

Be it the scorching summer noon or a cold winter evening.
Be it a 20-20, one day or a test. When cricket is concerned, in India the sun never sets.
The crescendo increases with every ball, the euphoria rises with every run.
The madness has no bounds; each one is in high spirits.
As Indians we salute the Men in Blue who guard the crease.
But today is another day, with the Indian Premier League taking place; Cricket seems to have an entirely new flavor.

Cricket holds our country together. It is the popularity and fury of the Game that has enabled us as Indians to appreciate our integrity. Cricket is like a religion here with almost 75% of the population as its followers.

So you have heard about the 10 commandments, the ones that we are supposed to follow in order to ensure our entry in heaven. But these are rules that we are supposed to follow…haven’t you experienced some invisible laws that actually seem to make the world go round!

For us, Murphy’s are real, omnipresent and quite undefeatable! “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong” – this basic law has not only given me an uncanny insight, they have also enabled us to explain the various experiences of our life (some hilarious, some painful).

You may say once I knew this law, I could have used it for my advantage. I could have simple done the things the other way round to achieve the desired result. If you thought so, then you are not very well acquainted with the law. Remember – “You cannot force Murphy’s Law or use it reverse.”

So why pay it any heed anyway? To understand the way your life works and the trends that it tends to follow. If you can’t beat them, join them. So enjoy this whole set of laws, along with its corollaries and commentaries.
You carry these laws with you and show people around you this ingenious way of life where not a single moment is dull…

Remember the Murphy Philosophy always – “Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.”
