Think local, act local
Monday, October 15, 2007
A sunny day and not to mention a weekend means celebration here in Munich. The city of Munich located 50 km north of the northern edge of Alps and the capital of the state of Bavaria, is also otherwise called the "city of singles". The most important place to visit, especially on a very sunny day is undoubtedly the "Englischer Garten". The park stretching itself to the length and breadth of the city has loads to offer. Old couples walking, young couples romancing , aspirants playing football and nude people just greeting the sun, all this and much more. One can't afford to miss the whole invigorating atmosphere on a sunny weekend.
I mentioned everything and myself, an Indian. Can cricket be far behind? Part of the Englischer garten landscape was some cricket too, played by some regulars and some irregulars (which includes me) as Germans wondered and hissed with comments like
"ist das Baseball?" (Is it baseball) ---
"nee, das heisst Cricket" (no, its called cricket), responds another....
We guys enjoyed our cricket with the usual informal accusations and behind the back strokes and some wonderful shots and beautiful bowling, later only to be amused by the wealth of on-lookers. Cricket played by more than 10 nations of the world and a hugely polarizing game in the sub-continent, just makes no-meaning in an another continent, except a passing curiousity. This made me to immediately recall the business philosophy "Think local, act local", if it should interest the local market.
