Savour the journey & not worry about getting anywhere - Chhichhore Movie Analysis

"While 3 Idiots encouraged you to pursue what you love,Chhichhore merely says take a beat, resist the pressure that academics and life will put on you, forge enduring friendships, make lasting memories." The sole reason why Cinema is beyond entertainment.Two great movies based on similar themes- college,the rat race for being at the top,'losers' but winners in friendship.Yet they give us a different perspective.  3 Idiots was about doing what you love and success will come no matter what. While Chhichore puts a reality check on how we try to give our best but life plays a great leveller! It tells us to believe in our process rather than outcome. "Tumhara result decide nhi karta hai ki tum loser ho ki nahi ... tmhari koshish decide karti hai ". The iconic scene is where the basketball goal fails to happen ,because it is then we realize that movie was not about winners,but about the losers who actually won !  Comparing two of them,3 Idiots was a mo

Why the game of Religion is not so Sacred ?

Man cancels food order over non Hindu driver.This instance itself makes you respond with a #MatlabKuchBhi moment. Everytime he orders Vegan food on Zomato he wants tree to deliver it,else uninstalling... What makes it even worse is that people were supporting this man in the name of religion. Talking about the recent SurfExcel advertisement, Intolerance is when you are offended by an ad that promotes peace and brotherhood.Seems like Secular term has been replaced by offense now a days. What's more surprising is that many of us stand against scrapping of Article 370 and support the Liberals-Separatists-Jihadi Nexus whose only motivate is to divide the country in the name of religion.What's more surprising is that we don't have any problem against Hindu-Muslim angle constantly popped up in our favorite web series Sacred Games.We often ignore the ideology they bring above the entertainment aspect we enjoy.But we never fail to ignore the question of social status and rel

Article 15 of IT industry - Hire people not numbers !

“Article 15 prohibts the IT companies from hiring any valuable employee on grounds of number(They call it experience in years ), college ,year gaps ,current salary and stupid HR questions” .Nothing matters, gender,race, employment gaps but the attitude and the ability to do the job! Hiring people requires effort.Spend more time reading CVs, analyzing the depth of your potential candidate instead of making decisions on clearly visible numbers and names on that sheet of paper. The hiring managers seem to be obsessed with “names” -name of the institution, brand name of the previous firm - Qualifications does no work,Real people do. Don't lie for the purpose of hiring -And if you do, They will lie for the purpose of quitting. “The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.” (Credits : #Chernobyl) The corporate environment is filled with lies - lie employee speaks to recruiter for a job, and vice versa : ).To such extent that there re

A circle of life,A great leveller - Game of Cricket

Here is the sum up of  WC19 Ind vs Nz semifinal - It's funny isn't it. You plan for years, play 9 tough games and then your hopes of a World Cup win and the resultant career high rest on an hour and a half of T20 equivalent cricket.  ~Harsha Bhogle Cricket has so much to teach you. As students, you plan for years, day and night to be a future IAS officer, getting into IITs IIMs and it finally rests on a 3 hour examination. But it's always better to keep hopes alive by a Jadeja like knock where there is a possibility to win in life ! Next, Life - an unpredictable bouncer. This world cup we saw Kiwis believed to be chokers win against the unbeaten, Rohit Sharma criticized for inconsistency was the most consistent of all , and one more unpredictable thing was how the Indian team Bench is brimming with so much talent that some of it retires in frustration : ) Life also keeps on throwing bowls in form of opportunities whose outcome we can't predict. Everyday we hea
