Weekend Over

Change is always for better. It may be any area of life, a new change, always brings forth renewed energy and excitement. I am undergoing similar phase right now. Last month I joined a new organization and recently completed my first month-end there. Though I was not quite at the assigned target, I had an excellent month. Meeting new people, new bosses and team members worked as stimulant. I particularly enjoyed the part of meeting new clients and vendors. Though meeting up with a few old friends was equally enjoyable.

Well, first month is over and in our industry that marks the end of "honeymoon period". Now begins the actual business. This weekend was a welcome break before getting into the outright war that is to come starting tomorrow. Weekend was spent in a leisurely fashion with maximum time spend with kids and friends. For someone like me, who hasn't stayed away from home for a long duration, it was painfully pleasant to witness the joy exhibited by my daughters. Garima, the elder one, had so many things to talk and I had cravings to listen to her. Anuja went literally berserk at seeing me after a week. The whole weekend, she kept dancing and shouting "Papa, Papa" every time I was present. I love that and I love them. Best weekend after a long time.

Now comes tomorrow and with it a promise of yet another eventful and brilliant month. Let's win it together.

Good night, Good luck.

Tara Rani ki Kahani

God narrates the importance of Karma in Bhagwad Geeta saying only thing one should focus on is ones Karma. The Fal or result of any karma is beyond your reach. Hindu religion puts great emphasis on karma and it's consequences. Naturally, many of our stories revolve around similar concept. No other story however is as complex as the one told to me during Mata Ki Chauki organized at my aunt's house in March 2015.  Let me present to you this long story in hopes that it will entertain and intrigue you. Tara Rani Ki Kahani King Sparsh was childless after years of marriage. He conducted a Tapa "religious meditation" to appease Devi Mata with hopes of gaining a boon. Mata, eventually, was pleased and blessed that Sparsh shall father two daughters. Soon, his wife was pregnant and in due course gave birth to a beautiful girl. Good omens followed this child. Entire kingdom witnessed divine bliss and prosperity. King's Guru proclaimed that this girl is very lucky as she car...

Reading Grisham

Reading is a passion and a cultivated art. And, like any other craft, it demands lots of practice and persistence. I picked up this hobby probably from my “ Baba ” (paternal grandfather) while growing up. I remember he used to devour newspapers and novels. He was well versed with Hindi and Gujarati and possessed decent grasp of English. So, he read in all three. I remember reading a few of his novels back in my summer vacation as well. Thus began my affair with the written word. Coming from a Gujarati medium school of Ahmedabad, we were never encouraged to indulge extra-curricular reading and besides there was such an enormous pressure to read and re-read and again re-read the syllabus that only thing I read other than my school books were a few articles daily from the 'Gujarat Samachar'. During the college years, though, I was at liberty to explore books beyond prescribed course and exam syllabus. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject in college of English even thoug...

A Wednesday - Movie Review

Mumbai meri Jaan and Aamir - we have recently had two Bollywood movies dealing with the subject of Terrorism. Mumbai meri Jaan depicts the after effects of a terror incident. Its about real life characters absorbing the shock of bomb blasts and then recovering. The journey of their losses and more importantly - their gains. Aamir is a fiction about a man who is stuck in the mayhem of the terrorists. An idealist one - however, with a stodgy end. A Wednesday is, more than anything, a suprise for all the cinema lovers in India. The movie revolves around the similar subject but still it's greatly removed from the latter two movies. The attempt of a synopsis of this movie might give a lot away. Even the narrator, retiring commissioner of Police Mr Prakash Rathore (Anupam Kher) stays away, very smartly, from telling you the end. The story revolves around a fateful Wednesday between 1 to 6 pm, when a man, Naseeruddin Shah (at his intimidating best), calls up the commissioner and tells him...
