We got a request approximately a month ago from a lady
asking to throw a one of a kind surprise for her fiancé. The trick was that
this lady would be out of station for the birthday and we had to do something
that would make the fiancé feel loved in spite of her not being around.</div>

The lady mentioned for her fiancé was a foodie, so we
recommended that she go for our DOTTEDi Take Home Chef experience. <br />

The process was quite simple, our client mentioned what all
her fiancé cannot eat and on consult with our Chef, we whipped up a yummy menu
which was instantly approved by the client.</div>

In the next two hours, our fabulous
Chef cooked a 5 course meal for the fiancé and his friends. The friends had a blast learning tricks of the trade from the chef. We are all quite amazed at how simple it was to make such food. The menu was Bruschetta,
short skewer food, Beetroot salad with yogurt & dill. Main course was
finger licking chicken schnitzel with roast potatoes and buttered vegetables.
Dessert was hot chocolate fudge!</div>

We went one step ahead and thought, let us make this into an
ice pack/ hot water bag. This makes this item perfect for summer heat cool off session and for

Being creative is not just a hobby; it is a way of life -
Anon</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The minute I fully accepted this, I applied at The DOTTEDi.
The moment I looked at the company website I knew this was the place I had to
be. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today is my day 7 at The DOTTEDi. This last week has been extraordinary!
I was given the freedom to explore my areas of interest. I took a shot at
client servicing, designing creative’s, organizing and marketing the DOTTEDi
Valentine’s Day Surprise, website designing, packing products, shopping for
gift hampers and now blogging! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Valentine’s Day is the busiest week of the year here. On my
first week on the job the main event given to me was handle the DOTTEDi Valentine’s
Day Surprise. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The surprise began with a BMW receiving the client from
their doorstep with a bouquet of red roses and a card. All throughout the
journey we built up the suspense of the venue and what the night had in store
for the surprised guest. At regular intervals our chauffeur handed the surprised
guest a personalized card. We went wild with these cards, we drew on them,
wrote mushy and quirky quotes, we colored on them, hinted them on the location,
it was so much fun! Once the couple reached the fabulous Prakriti Windflower
resort, the couples were received warmly by the hotel staff and escorted to the
dinner table.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One client dreamed of a romantic pool side dinner while the
other wanted a dinner under a gazebo (quite like the movies!). Since we are in
the business of making greater than life dreams come true, of course we got it
done! All around the pool side we poked hearts on the ground and placed tiny
candles on the ground. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The resort had a gorgeous stone pillar structure on the
midst of the lawns. We simply twisted tiny ornamented twinkling lights all over
the structure. The bougainvilleas creepers grown around the structure added the
natural touch of perfection that no artificial decoration could do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Each table was designed in a manner that the couple felt the
world revolved around them during the meal. We placed customized the table mats
with pictures of the couple and threw in a few quotes. The items on the menu
card were renamed with elements of the couple. If I have to talk about all the
details of the evening like the personalized wine bottles, personal butler,
elaborate table setting, gift hampers, etc this blog post is going to get very
long to read!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The couples were offered an overnight stay at the resort
along with complimentary breakfast. One of our couples could not manage an
overnight stay but opted for a full day stay instead. We gave them a complimentary lunch instead.
We always want our clients to feel the worth of every bit of the money they
spent on this magical evening.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We obviously will claim the night to be a success even if it
wasn't. But we have proof. One client spoke of seeing his fiancé with tears of
joy, even before the night was over she was so happy that she could stop the
tears from rolling down. You would expect a couple stuck in the Bangalore
traffic for 2 hours would have dampened spirits but our chauffeur couldn't help
but comment on how cheerful the couple was the entire ride back home. They were
so impressed by the whole surprise, we received a personal call of thanks the very
next morning. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Needless to say I was pushed out of my comfort zone
throughout the week. The entire Team DOTTEDi was extremely supported all
throughout. Finally, the sense of accomplishment you get on seeing extremely satisfied
customers makes everything seem worthwhile. </div>

<strike>The holiday season is almost here. Yay!! </strike>Are you all set to have fun, enjoy the holidays and party too? </div>
<div class="p1">
<br />
With parties, especially too many of them, come hangovers too - could be the alcohol or non alcohol induced ones. Hangovers often come with a brain crushing headache (you don't think that can happen, ask someone who has experienced a hangover), nausea accompanied by little or lots of throwing up (ewww), bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, loss of ability to walk straight, see clearly and a couple of other not very nice effects. As a result you could end up looking like this the next morning - </div>

Here at Dottedi, we just LOVE giving SURPRISES! Big ones, small ones, special ones, out-of-this-world ones. Out of all our surprises, <span style="color: #38761d;"><a href="http://www.thedottedi.in/index.php/surprises/100-golgappas.html" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #38761d;">golgappa surprise</span></i></b></a> </span>is one of our fastest sellers. In a week’s time we have about three orders. Yeah, people love it that much :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>What does it include?</i></div>
<div>
As part of the golgappa surprise, 100 golgappas are delivered to the person to be surprised. An authentic golgappa walah comes along and sets up everything. Along comes a Dottedi representative who brings some fun activities and games for the surprised guest and their friends to play and eat. Since it is a 100 golgappas, the whole family and friends can enjoy the experience. This surprise makes for a unique and fun experience. Something that you and your guests will remember for a long long time. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<div class="p1">
<i>How does it work?</i></div>
<div class="p1">

We will get back to you asking the date, time and venue details. We will also need some basic information about the guest of honor - their name, what do they like, dislike, their favorites. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So you’re throwing a little
soiree for all your friends to celebrate that new job of yours or just a little
tea party. You need to have some kind of snacks or sweets for all your
guests…but you don’t want it to be the plain old items like biscuits or cakes.
Well, here’s a little something just for those of you out there who fit this
description. Here at Dotted I, we provide you with all kinds of little treats
that can make those little occasions that much more memorable. From cupcakes to
complete Gourmet hampers, we have just about anything you might need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake">“If you can’t
get bread, eat cake”</a></b>. This is a phrase commonly attributed (or is it <b><u>mis</u></b>attributed?) to Queen Marie
Antoinette of France who lived sometime in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. Here at
Dotted I, we make that phrase a reality. Take a look at some of our quirky, fun
and most importantly, delicious gourmet products for everyone to enjoy…<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Throwing a bachelorette party for
your best friend? Try the naughty cup cakes. They are sweet and at the same
time will add a little spice to the party too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You just had a huge fight with
your friend and you want to make things right. Send them our special “I Am
Sorry” tarts to lighten the mood. It’s literally a very “sweet” way to
apologize right?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Macaroons…heard of ‘em? Well, until
I came to Dotted I, I hadn’t. But one thing’s for sure- they’re delicious. Best
part is they come in whole jars so you can either share the joy or just end up
having more for yourself. Personally, I would prefer the second option.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I love lollipops…and I love
cakes & brownies too. Any way I can have both at the same time? If you have
asked that question at any point of time, then we have the perfect thing for you.
Our cake pops and brownie pops combine the best of both worlds and give you the
pleasure of eating a cake or brownie while feeling like you’re having a
lollipop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I could keep listing all
the items available and describe them to you but why deprive you of the fun of
discovering it for yourself? Check out our complete <a href="http://www.thedottedi.in/index.php/gourmet.html"><b>list right here</b></a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that’s it for now. I better
stop with the sweets before I get a sugar rush. Until next time, take care.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I was just a little girl, I was always fascinated by ribbons, balloons and gifts. Like all little girls, I believed in Santa Claus,
the tooth fairy and the Ginger Bread man. As I grew older, my dream was to visit Walt Disney… and travel…
and SHOP… and EAT… and, well, SUGGEST… and I wondered: what if I could actually
shop for a living? That would be my ideal dream job! Because, yes, I love to
dream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA STEMMED FROM BOREDOM AND DEBTS:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A bachelor's degree in Business Management from one of the
best institutes in the country. A Master’s
in Creative Business from the “Queen’s Land” and yet unemployed for 8
months! This is what drove Naadia Mirza to become OCD and learn about every
single brand in town. All she dreamed about was spas, holidays and decorating
her room in new and funky ways.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One fine morning, Mommy dearest sat her down and told Naadia
she couldn’t continue to live like this. It was best for her to get <u>"married"</u>.
<b>OUCH!!!</b> Mommy had used the “M” word! Naadia was totally freaked out. Driven by
the sheer fear of being married off and subsequently completely bored, Naadia
launched The Suitcase Shop. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What was The Suitcase Shop?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's simple. On one of my many holidays, I picked up an
entire set of knick-knacks using borrowed money. This included nasty stickers,
funky one-liners, raunchy bachelorette party stuff as well as a really
expensive laptop (which was a completely impulsive buy and I'm still paying off
the installments on it - eesh).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On arrival in India, 50 sms'es were promptly sent to friends
and family. The Suitcase seemed to be filled with insulting nasty things and,
guess what!? It was a big hit! Everyone seemed to love the quirky and
unpredictable things in it. But however much I enjoyed selling all of these
things, I learnt two crucial lessons from this experience:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>I made NO profit.</li>
<li>I seemed to LOVE the stuff so much that I chose whom I
should sell it to! (this was pretty weird twisted logic) </li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Post the experience of The Suitcase shop, I did a SWOT
analysis of possible business opportunities. I listed what I knew about myself.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I loved
creating new things</li>
<li>I have an
obsessive need for perfection</li>
<li>I wanted
to go out of the way to make people’s day</li>
<li>I wanted
to share my experience of gourmet food and places in the city</li>
<li>I hated
accounting and always needed my calculator while billing.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The "findings" of my analysis led to the birth
of a one-stop creative firm: the “Dotted
I".</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Why Dotted I?!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m constantly asked, why “Dotted I”?! As much as it seems
like a lot of thought has gone into the name, truth be told, I have always
loved scribbling in books and loved the activity book “Join the Dots”. It
always gave me a sense of accomplishment that I had joined the dots! Of course
a more mature and corporate way of saying things is “Always cross your t’s and
dot the i's”. It describes perfection! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>How are we different?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well... we are a tight team with an uncanny knack for making
you happy. It's all about our clients. We listen, we create. We love to put
your ideas into action. No two days are ever the same at office.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our cakes are a super hit because I taste each (yes, lots of
calories is an occupational hazard). Our surprises have saved marriages! (ahem, I cannot
mention names). The balloons have
matching ribbons and the bachelor parties seem to be loved by all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Don’t you run out of surprises Naadia?!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, I'd love to say I DON’T, but I’m only human. There are
days when I can’t seem to please a client, or days when I cannot think of
something new. Those are the days that I spend shopping or redecorating office
and making lemon chai with an Iranian Twist!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Signing off and hoping to give lots of updates to our fans,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Miss Mirza</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>P.S: </b> Dear Readers,
thank you for reading till the end. I'm sure in today's day and age, we LOVE to
read!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>P.P.S:</b> To all my friends and family who have stood by me
through trying times... hate to say this, but it was kind of your duty!</div>
