Olympics

Sitting on my chair, having a big potato wafers bag in one hand and the remote in the other, I was constantly altering the frequencies of my TV set. To my amaze I switched through a hundred channels at a speed of 2 channels per wafer, which at the end became too speedy for my potato bag to finish itself. So I started flipping again. Channel 21, 22,23,,,32,33....Hey! what is this, a group of girls were playing a musical instrument. It was quite amazing as I had never seen such an instrument. What is this?, I said to myself. After a few minutes the focus shifted to other team of people playing some other bizzare instrument and then the whole picture came with well decorated and artistic special effects setting ablaze the Olympic ground.

Oh! Yes, today is the eighth day of the eighth month of the year two thousand and eight i.e. 08/08/08 -- the starting ceremony of the Olympics. Grabbing another bag of my favorite potato chips, I got glued to the Opening ceremony of the Olympics. What a sight it was, dancers, performers, musician, lighting, flags, VIP's,....everyone was in a festive mood. There seemed to be chaos all round and then it all seemed to be a part of a bigger circle leading to the symbol of Olympic games. The name 'Olympic' comes from the Greek city of Olympia, where the first games were held in 776 BC. From this date on, Olympic games have seen many ups- & downs. At one time, there was a total boycott of these games, war situations and the most modern, unethical ways to increase one's performance.

Every fourth year, one of the participating countries is given the duty to host these games. It is an honour and matter of prestige to host these games. This year, China is hosting these games in the ancient city of Beiging.

Writing 'Spirit'

Surfing through the net, most of us budding content writers prefer going to sites that display "Earn from your writing". Whether we agree or not, this is a fact! The most amazing thing is that we continue to visit several pages trying to gather where is that precious page or link that will then guide us into a series of filling useless things, in search of that famous $ mark.

Now, that we see this $ sign our eyes turn green, hungry and one part of our mind says "Just grab that note man!". Yet, the other one says "Leave it! bogus again". In this midst of this extravaganza what we don't realise is that we waste a huge amount of our time and effort trying to get started. Yes, some people are earning huge. But, the thing to note is that they are earning because they spend most of their time and effort in updating their blogs or websites, creating content.

And in our quest to find that perfect website that will give us that extra amount of cash, we forget the spirit of writing. We start making the content instead of content flowing from within. It becomes a routine! Writing is a passion which one should enjoy and not let others direct what you write.

So, all you content writers out there, start enjoying and don't let the spirit of writing bygone!

The Story of 'I'

Well, The end yet the begining of PAI, Mr. 'I' forms the most valuable part of the story behind PAI. 'I' is the source around which content revolves. A passionate writer, sometimes it is hard to capture whether he is driving the content or the content drives him.

An avid book lover, most of his creation comes from his own spark. A spark that has the ability to kick start his penning engine, making sure it ends only when some magical words flown from his pen have created a masterpiece.

At the begining, when PAI was at initial stages, it was 'I' who made sure all others were deeply involved in it. Being a Mass Com graduate, he needed to build a strong base where 'P' & 'A' could build upon.

Content was his game and he made sure that all those who once doubted his ability saw him rise. Life always gives a second chance and when it came to him, he left no stone unturned to get what he wanted!

The story of 'A'

For every beginning, there is a second chapter. Same holds true for PAI, the second chapter or should I call the adhesive of PAI is ‘A’. ‘A’, normally she, YES ‘She’, is like a dormant volcano about to burst. I can tell a long tale here, but in our heart, for PAI, she is the woman that makes it a success.

Again an MBA by profession, she is one who keeps the bond working between all of us. She is the one who makes the quote of “One for all & all for one” a truth for PAI Knowledge Enterprises. By nature she is very demanding, and this nature of hers has contributed tremendously in our concern, by making sure that we meet our targets every time.

From the day PAI registered its first client and first writer, it was her strength that kept those going. Today, we still have those two precious jewels with us. Again, ‘A’ is neither related to ‘P’ or ‘I’ but yet commands a relationship everywhere, Thus becoming an integral part of PAI.

Today, when PAI has transformed into PAI Knowledge Enterprises, we look at her and wonder whether we would have come this far, if this adhesive ‘A’ was not there with us!!

The story of 'P'

"P" - The first part of PAI(www.paiknowledge.com)

A young enthusiast, ready to take on the world, 'P' is the starting of PAI. Although the content part comes later in the life of PAI, 'P' was the motivating force behind the enigmatic begining of PAI Knowledge Enterprises. An MBA by profession, 'P' always wanted to do something the world has never seen. He wanted to make a difference, a difference strong enough to give him whatever he desired for. Always passionate about what he did, he actually complemented the stone laying of PAI Knowledge enterprises.

Life always shows the ups & downs with a unique ending. Here the ending is yet to come ( Picture abhi baki hai mere dost) or is here but delayed. What ever the reason be, Life will always give enough for the time, but 'P' wanted to get more. Once the idea conceptualised in the mind of PAI, 'P' made sure that it remains alive. He worked as the gatekeeper, one who acts as defender in theory of groups.

As time went by, though everyone knew the importance of making it happen, he always felt that it has already happened. This made sure the other partners grew bold and worked..worked..worked...until all of them including 'P' had to grab the pillow.

'P' was not related to either 'A' or 'I' , but had a strong presence in their lives, making it a little bit easier for the whole of PAI to not only understand each other but do what they never once thought of doing. PAI changed to www.paiknowledge.com (PAI KNOWLEDGE ENTERPRISE).

PAI transformed into a premier content writing firm, with content writers, clients, partners, advertising, media, blogs, ..... all came into the life of PAI. Ideas never stopped, they flowed and are still flowing. Content writing became the most important aspect of the life of PAI Knowledge Enterprises. It not only made them cash rich but gave them so much satisfaction within.

PAI or should i call it "Pure Alphabetic Intelligence"

The story of Content Writing

Content writing is in my opinion one word, which has changed the way we see websites and web promotions today. A decade ago when people told me that we are doing content writing, I knew it to be a passtime activity they chose to pursue, but today it has taken not only me but the whole internet fraternity by a storm.

So when I and my friend were sitting one day playing a word building game, I accidently made the word content and he added writing to it. It immediately drew our attention towards a gripping discussion on content writing and its authority in the marketing world today. The discussion continued enlisting all the "goods" and the "bads", the pros and cons of the new and emerging concept, while a third friend of ours was listening quitely in one corner of the room.

The long discussion ended up making our minds dwell upon the matter and thus resulting in a lull in our lengthy speaking sessions giving a well deserved break to our ears. So when our third friend suddenly broke the silence, it startled us both, like we were day dreaming or something. She suggested that if we knew so much about content writing why not we experiment with it!!!

Hence started the begining of a new thought. A thought that is now a reality where we three are at the top of our dreams.

Yes, we struggled!! We struggled a lot, to the extent that sometimes we worked for a full 24 hours and yet were determined to do the rest of the work. Today, we are doing well, we have grown in leaps and bounds, but still We Can Do More!!!!!!!
