Visiting cards/ business cards / calling cards whatever you call them, they define you!
Dont think so? when was the last time you met someone and did any of the following:
1. Handover your visiting card with aplomb, deference and in a funny way almost like a note from your mum to the school teacher?
(the correct way to offer one of course is a take on the Japanese bow.

Just change the hand positions to outstretched with the card held by the corner in both hands).2.Apologize for not carrying your visiting card?
I feel awful too. Its almost like not knowing your name anymore... think short term memory loss!
3. Look at the visiting card your visitor/guest/client handed you and tell yourself "that is the kind of card I should carry!"
Well, if you said yes to any one of the above, YOUR VISITING CARD DEFINES YOU!
That's not bad, no not at all. On the contrary, me thinks that is so awesome that I actually went into a memory tailspin on coming across some of the cards that I have used over the years.
I haven't changed too many companies, but did change designations & hotels at the Taj, and later changed visiting card designs from my own firm. I let the memories flood me and then realized that some cards were missing. that made me sad!
So, I have decided to launch a new Project - the VISITING CARD PROJECT
I will store your visiting cards till such time as you might want to look at them again or share them with someone!
You can send me your cards in hard copy (actual cards) 1 - 3 cards or scan them and mail them to me.
I will put it up on another blog, with the relevant links etc.
YOU CAN THEN LOOK AT THEM, ADMIRE THEM, SHARE THEM, GET NOSTALGIC whenever you like!
Send me your visiting cards NOW!!
