Situated on a large Mediterranean Sea Gulf, known also as the Gulf of Tunis, this city extends along the coastal plains surrounded by hills... The city of Tunis is also home to cosmopolitan cafés and has a myriad archeological vestiges. Tunis also has the world’s finest collection of Roman mosaics. Take a walking tour of the ancient buildings and mosques or visit the Théâtre municipal de Tunis to witness the opera, ballet or other productions. Explore and learn the history of the sub-urban city of Carthage, which is most accessible from Tunis or wander through Tunis' largest park – Belvedere Park – which houses the Museum of Modern Art and the municipal zoo overlooking Lake Tunis. For the shopaholics, street bazaars in Tunis have a wide range of products to choose from.Once in Tunis, do visit the medina, which is one of the major attractions. This is one of the largest in the entire country and has also been recognized as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The tangled streets of the medina are crammed with hawkers selling trinkets and baubles. What's more, one could have a spectacular panoramic view of the minarets and mosques of old Tunis from the rooftop terraces here. Visit the Musee du Patrimoine Traditionnel which is also known as Dar Ben Abdallah, an 18th century palace, which is now a folk museum displaying stucco ornament, textiles, fabrics, costumes and furniture. The Acropolium cathedral on the Byrsa hill is another site which is frequented by visitors all the year round. The architecture of the cathedral is a mix of Orient and the Occident.
A short walk from the cathedral is the Carthage Room, which is a magnificent structure that highlights beautifully decorated ceilings in an Italian style. One can also enjoy the view from the hill of ancient Carthage and one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean.
Lest all the sightseeing should tire you, unwind yourself at Café Sidi Chebaane as you sip on some fine Turkish coffee and chicha pipe. Forget that diet as you indulge in the sumptuous cuisine offered by the traditional restaurants in the souks.
With fascinating archaeological sights, a buzzing nightlife and a rich history to be explored, this comfortably-sized city has much to offer to its visitors; no wonder then, Tunis is fast gaining a reputation of being an ideal year-round destination.

IIPM: An intriguing story of growth and envy
Prof Arindam Chaudhuri of IIPM on MF HUSAIN
need to maintain steady economic growth of 7-8% to lift millions out of poverty. Unfortunately, for countries like US, who are staring at prospects of economic degrowth, the challenge seems to be with respect to millions that are not in poverty yet. The challenge increasingly would be how to keep them there; as companies, one after another are sounding the alarm about not so impressive times ahead.
line of fire once again. Having lost the ever-famous video of man’s first step on the moon, causing speculations about the theory of the moon landing hoax last year, guess what they’ve done now! They have purchased a Russian built toilet system for a whopping $19 million for the International Space Station (ISS), claiming that it was cheaper than building their own from scratch. The expensive toilet will be installed on the American side of the ISS in 2008, while the Russian half will have to make-do with the old system only. This is part of a larger $46 million deal that NASA signed with Russia’s RSC Energia. The space station toilet physically resembles those used on Earth, except it has leg restraints and thigh bars to hold astronauts down. A NASA spokeswoman claims, “It’s like a miniature municipal water treatment system.” The system is similar to the one used at the space station currently, except that new one will be able to recycle urine into safe drinking water. Eeks! About $16 billion of the American taxpayers’ money goes to NASA’s funds each year and hey... here’s how NASA has chosen to spend it. And if the Russian built space toilet is similar to the one already in use on the space station, they could just as well have improved upon the design they already had in use, isn’t it? Why buy a whole new system anyway? They surely wouldn’t be designing it from scratch if they already have one in service for sure! Well, the $19 millions are already spent, so no sense in arguing. NASA is NASA and NASA puts its funds in things they want. That much money for a highly engineered toilet, but one that 99.9% of the world population will possibly never ever use! Welcome to planet Earth...
the case of Hutch’s 3 different plans, where they launched the concept of tariff sizes – Small, Medium and Large – to make the process of choosing a relevant tariff plan simple. Here too, instead of telling in detail about the plan, in their communiqué they just divided the tariffs according to people who talk a lot, who talk little and who talk very little, and that becomes the basis of their advertising. Simplicity of the communication is what Hutch displays. Hutch is therefore a perfect example of how the purity of a brand, viz, understanding of what constitutes a brand is displayed greatly over a large span of time, and that too in a category that is extremely difficult. So, I think the lesson one draws from brands like Hutch is that building brands is all about building a virtual world for consumers who want to stay in it and which has a system of beliefs that one wants to belong to. Brands are places built, where one wants voluntary belongingness. It’s almost like creating a habitat for people to feel comfortable, to feel happy and to desire. And I think it is understanding these intangible aspects of a brand that is most essential. An understanding that brands have a responsibility for not just quality and not just providing the benefit, which is what many classical marketing theories say, but much more than that the brands need to provide a sense of belonging and an emotional space needs to be created. Brands need to have their own distinctive worldview and language, which allows them to be both accessible and distinctive.
