  • Transformation of life

    December 14th, 2009 at 1:21pm

    How much life can change when you take up responsibilities in your life. When I was in my school and college days I used to be so tough and adventurous. But things have changed a lot in my life. After I started running this company I am no more like I used to be. I always need to give a 2nd thought before taking something serious or being adventurous. Yesterday I met a guy who was fully drunk when I went for a short trip to Pulicat lake. I saw this guy was a local and he was trying to gain my attention and bringing up a fight with me, if I would have been same like the way I was in college days. The scene would have been completely different. Even I had 3 guys besides me who are ready to take up my commands still I need to go smooth. Few reasons are I don’t want to get into any fight since its not the place where I live and I am 60 kms from my home place, guys with me are too tough and my head shake will lead to a nasty situation and can endanger all our lives, responsibilities on my prevented my completely from going forward and putting a fight with that guy. I need to be so careful any small injury to me will affect my Business and will affect the lively hood of 80 people who work for me. So I need to be very careful these days. Though I hate to be like that I feel its gods will that I go smooth with people.

    3 guys who were with me were stunned because they never see me like that. But after all these years handling people I wanted to keep them calm and they respected my words. Why should I be like this I never know but I am really not enjoying such kind of high responsibilities which resulted in a burden for me.

    It’s like you cannot be yourself.  This transformation I feel is not just on that location I see that a lot in my personal day to day life. Things a changed a lot in me I don’t know whether I am getting adapted to the reality or it’s just the way life is.

    Quiz 2 preliminary rounds completed

    December 14th, 2009 at 1:20pm

    Second preliminary rounds for our official 2009 Quiz competition got over on Saturday ( 13th November 2009 ) . It was great because the participation by everyone present in our quiz competition was electrifying. Almost everyone was involved 100% in 2nd round. I never saw the same thing in round one. I found round one people were lethargic not fully involved. Some were pretty bad in 1st round but 2nd round got everyone involved because we have lot of interaction in it. People got more involved since we had audio, video rounds.

    There will be 3 preliminary rounds to test teams basic skills. After this stage I am planning to dissolve few teams that are performing badly and put the involved members in other well performing teams. I am also planning to test individual skills of few people and see if they are fit to progress to the next level of Quiz competition. I personally feel this year only the eligible should play. Getting the eligible play will make the show more involved. Also good team leaders can make even a weak team strong. I have seen that in Elavarasi and team. She is giving her best to get her team together and perform.

    Few teams are so weak I am angry and frustrated with them since they get on your nerves when I am organizing. I want people to enjoy this quiz but also a quiz is a quiz and it cannot loose its charisma if ineligible people stay and play.

    Running a competition is not easy especially if you are not going to stick with regular rounds and want to be adventurous and go for newly invented rounds you need to be very careful how you carry it forward. I have personally experienced a lot of how to carry people’s mind and how to get them involved. Also it helps me understand what’s going on in people’s mind which part they don’t like and which one they enjoy.

    I am doing my best to be a good host. A good hold should be energetic, charismatic, and clever and should have previous proven ability to handle people. People can easily get on your nerves and you can lose your patience easily if they try to disturb you too much. That is the reason it’s better to eliminate the weakest and play only with people who are really interested as well as capable of handling tough rounds.

    I want this quiz as a learning experience for people. We are all people who lead a regular life we don’t like adventures if we get a salary and asked to just work 9 to 6 we are happy to do it. But if you want to do a little bit more than your regular life you want to stay away from it. I feel this should change. That is what I am doing in my office. I feel office is not just to work it’s also a place where you can get to learn something as well as socialize. Schools and colleges do it better but many companies are not good at carrying its employees. I feel this trend which is already changing should change more. The HR department which is responsible for this should know new and innovative ways to get people attached and involved to a company. Ok I am going too off-topic. Coming back to quiz this year I am planning to test all possible skills. This is the 1st year we are giving away future rounds even before the quiz starts. We never did that in previous years. I want this to be the future I will reveal all rounds well in advance at-least 2 days before so that people can prepare for the event.

    Ajab prem ki ghazab kahani – Movie Review

    November 11th, 2009 at 2:37am

    ajab-prem-ki-ghazab-kahani-poster-15533986614a979cf75ee2b1_52204727

    All i would say is i love this film basically i like Hindi films especially. Love in Hindi films are  too good. This movie had a blend of both love and comedy. Its more a family friendly movie targeted  for the youth. No romance but lot of humor. I always feel romance and love should go together  Especially with such good pair directory just missed a golden opportunity. I enjoyed the comedy a  lot. It was one funny movie, i laughed my heart out after a lot time.

    When i read online reviews most of the critics and movie reviewers say Ranbir and Katrina Kaif’s  Chemistry was excellent in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. I am no where near the quality of those  reviewers but i feel there was no chemistry at all. They look good as a pair but the chemistry its  not there at all. In many occasions i don’t see them as the most comfortable pair. When it comes to  chemistry i need to give it to the guys they are the bolder ones and they make the chemistry work in  movies. I feel Ranbir was not up to the mark on that.It was a bit weird to see 2 body builders ( Rahul Jalan and Tony ) compete with Ranbir for a girl. 
    Don’t know what was going on in director’s mind there are many good looking guys who are not  necessarily body builders but he selected 2 guys with good body to compete with Ranbir who doesn’t  have any muscles Rahul Jalan ( Upen patel ) did his job well he was well suited for his character. He was pretty  smart in some interesting occasions. First meet up with prem was cool both of them were doing some  interesting and weird faces.I enjoyed the dance part scene.

    Oh my god director was at his best when he directed the dance party  scene. Prem’s ( Ranbir ) attitude was too good. Being a dancer i observe a lot when it comes to  dancing, the moves prem does during the dance party was cool. They are not great dance steps but  director introduced a lot of attitude there. Ranbir was at its best when he did those crazy moves  during the dance part scene. Tony ( Pradeep Kharab ) was cool too he did his best to be funny on  scene its not easy for a guy with his appearance but he performed his role best.

    Coming to katrina we don’t have to tell she is good in what she does. She did a great job in New  york and she has done it again she was one bubbly baby just jumping around in the movie. One thing i  feel she doesn’t look 100% indian. Its obvious because her mother is from England. She has great 
    future in this industry.

    I feel there are some really pushed scenes like the ones in the start of 2nd half. I was about to  sleep off when they woke me up with some hilarious comedy. I need to highlight some noted characters  like the villian ( Zakir hussain ) the politician ( Rahul’s father – Govind Namdeo ) all did their 
    job to the best. Even prem’s mother and father were giving their best.

    Overall i would rate this movie high. 2 best things

    1. Comedy – Well blended with the movie.
    2. Direction – It was unique and stylish i have to give it to the director

    Diwali Celebration in our office:

    October 19th, 2009 at 6:56am

    Diwali an auspicious festival in India was celebrated in India on Saturday. We wanted to celebrate this year in our office. So we had major plans about crackers, lighting deepam etc. It turned out lot of our colleagues need to leave to their native places in various cities to celebrate diwali. We had only 50% of attendance on Friday 17th October 2009 the day we celebrated diwali. So we need to cancel some plans and go only for bursting crackers.

    Around 4.00 Pm we had 2009 Quiz trial rounds it was fun organizing and most of them enjoyed it. As soon as the Quiz got over we went to our terrace and started bursting crackers. It was quite a bit crowd more than 20 members and this is the 1st time I am celebrating diwali with such big crowd. My family is small and the most people we ever had on a diwali day was only 10 but Friday it was more than 30. Guys were just jumping around playing with crackers it was cool to see everyone enjoy. We had a hell of a time for about 1 hour. Some guys and girls were taking pictures and videos. Best part of the day was during the end where they tried to burn every waste there. I need to stop them because it was our 4th floor and its not safe to play such kind of stuff.

    Overall the day was great and we had a great time together. I have a lot of hectic days to come both in work and in entertainment I will keep posting updates on progress

    Swetha
    Dimple

    Both I and dimple come from same team and we wish to get 1st place respectively in men’s and women’s category. We are working hard towards it. I have given few tips to tackle strong opponents and my colleague is doing a good job till now.  This Chess tournament is not just about winning it also gives a lot of good learning experience for complete amateurs. It brings motivation into people’s mind those people who never know how to move a piece on the board are showing a lot of spirit in their game. This is very exciting for me when ever people come to me for help I do my best to give my tips. I hope to give further updates in near future. Keep visiting

    Review on hindi movie “love aaj kal”

    September 22nd, 2009 at 6:57am

     

    There are three reasons why you must watch Love Aaj Kal- dialogues, performances and music.
    Love Aaj Kal is about Jai (Saif Ali Khan) a metropolitan male who can’t understand the meaning of love. His girl friend Meera (Deepika Padukone) also believes in choosing career over romance. After a mutual breakup, Jai meets the grand old Veer (Rishi Kapoor). He narrates his own love story to give Jai, which highlights the meaning of old-fashioned romance.

    When talking about saif ali khan in this movie, Saif is charming as ever with his wise crack and mannerism. However it’s in the emotional sequence towards the end, where you realize how much he has matured over the years just like in the kal ho Na ho and hum tum. He has almost played a similar role in compare to kal ho Na ho and Hum tum. Deepika Padukone- the upcoming Bollywood actress is the real surprise. Looking her best ever, Deepika delivers a amazingly effortless performance. A scene where she checks herself out in the mirror before heading for a date is a gem of a moment. And yes for the first time we discover that the girl knows how to cry.

    Talking about Imtiaz’s dialogues is once again straight out of everyday conversations. He speaks a language of the youth & has had different interpretation of love stories which seem closer to reality. The scenes between Rishi and Saif are bound to remind you of the advice your dad gives you about settling down in life.

    Love Aaj Kal is not perfect. The film literally holds up a mirror to the commitment phobia of the young, successful professionals who keep changing their status from ‘committed’ to ’single’ on the sundry social networking sites.
