Hi,
On June 1st Tempest celebrated its 11th anniversary. Doesn't time fly? I feel occasions such as
these are a great time to assess ourselves. An opportunity to look at what we have achieved so
far, and also determine our path for the future.
Eleven years back we set out to pursue the advertising dream with little money, but big
ambitions. The journey had its fair share of failures, but the untiring efforts of many
individuals, some who have moved on, and some who chose to stay, coupled with a little bit of
luck has helped us tide over them. Today, I can proudly say brand Tempest commands a
special reputation of its own.
As I contemplate on the future trends, I must say that the coming months are not going to be
easy , but something tells me we will make it. Maybe it's the confidence that my team instills in
me, or maybe because we have been through worse times.
So, continue to keep up the good work, no drooping shoulders or long faces ( such guys
should treat the others to lunch mind you ), keep smiling and do your work to the best of your
ability. Success is sure to follow.
Let's rock on.

Of thoughts...
This is a creative display by Mini
Cooper placed at the entrance of a
subway in Zurich. It gives the
impression that Mini Cooper has
a lot of space. Brilliant isn't it?
If this is going to be the cost of
fashion, we really don't need it
do we?
A great ad. Clear and direct.
Let's act before our planet 'melts'.
Very cleverly points out the effect
of Global Warming.

30 ways to improve your creativity
Part - 2

Keep a small notebook and pen with you and record your ideas in this. Leonardo da Vinci always carried a notebook with
him - once you start doing this, you'll be surprised how many ideas you can capture.
10 Look for ways to make a problem even worse - then turning these ideas around can lead you to the solution. For every
good idea there’s an opposite one.
11 Develop and trust your intuition. This is what tells you when a person or location may be a threat - when you feel that
"something isn't right". It can also tell you when your idea is a great one.
12 Visualise success with every sense and hold this vision in your mind as you work towards it. Successful athletes and other
competitors may spend almost as much time practising mentally as they do physically. Try visualisation if you are worried
about giving a successful presentation or being interviewed – see yourself giving the successful presentation, hear the
positive response from the audience, the colours, sounds and smells of the whole experience.
13 Don't expect Creative Thinking to be ordered or predictable - you can't force a good idea. Try to ensure the conditions are
right for creativity to thrive.
14 Don't be put off if your ideas fail at first. Edison tried over 6000 filaments before perfecting the electric light bulb.
15 Don't be afraid of 'crazy ideas'. "If at first an idea doesn't seem totally absurd, there's no hope for it." Albert Einstein.

Happy Birthday Tempest
Tempest celebrated its 11th anniversary, on June 1st. Tempest Hyderabad celebrated with cake and other yummy stuff.
Surprise promotions were announced as a part of the happy occasion. Cheer and gaiety marked the day.
Learning is fun
In a world that's changing rapidly, upgradation is the only way to beat competition. The more we know, the more empowered
we are. Tempest Hyderabad underwent a great training session in MS Office by Varalakshmi and Anil from the Technopolis
Team. The Technopolis Team attended an informative session conducted by Microsoft Tech -Ed India 2009 for Microsoft
PHP Developers. And as a part of an effort to bring about fresh thinking, the Creative Team visited an art exhibition by
painter Malavika Reddy.

Will was trying to teach his son the evils of alcohol. He put a worm in a glass of water & another in a glass of whiskey.
The worm in the water lived while the one in the whiskey curled up & died.
"All right, son," said Will,
"What does that show you?"
"Well dad, it shows that if you drink alcohol you will not have worms."
