Wah Taj!! 

  
The beauty of The Taj just doesn’t lie only in its structure , even the shadow of the monument is a perfect beauty Taj Mahal has been on the bucket list since the day I couldn’t go with my School mates almost a decade ago and just when parents gave the options of Celebrating a milestone in the city of Agra we jumped,the long wait was coming to an end,we would be finally getting to see one of the wonder of the world “Taj Mahal ,”The drive 3 hour long from the capital was not long for us to view a The wonder of the world,As we passed the streets of the city with stagnant water ,motor bikes and small shops on either sides of the streets made us move slowly to our destination,evening 5:30 pm just before entry for the day would be shut we walked hurried to view the glory of the city,and the glory of India ,The monumental structure which was so huge and spotlessly cleaned,made me rubbish all the Rumours of this turning black and to just digest the fact that This was made in India and has to be the most beautiful wonder of the world I have seen till date and the only wonder of the world who’s reflection is crystal clear .

Neerja -Movie Review !! 


Neerja The movie based on true events that took place on 5th September 1986 where Pan Am flight 73 flight travelling to U.S.A had a layover at Karachi International Airport and was Hijacked by 4 terrorist,The hijackers demand was to free there nationalist who were Imprisoned in our country(India).Neerja Bhanot the Person in charge of the flight took the responsibility with her team to secure the safety of the passengers.But in the end after a day long negotiation Neerja Bhanot was brave enough to loose her life for the safety of others .The movie Directed by Ram Madhavi who has Co-Directed Taare Zameen Par. The movie wasn’t gripping enough some loose ends the build up for the tense moments weren’t there .

The actors Shabana Azmi played the role of the mother and Yogendra Tiku played the father of Neerja.

They were well the saving grace of the film .Sonam Kapoor acted well in bits and pieces ,Specially the last 15 minutes .

The movie could have had a few minutes being sliced about 10-15 minutes could easily be edited out.

The 1st film by bling Unplugged was a great story to be captured for the celluloid especially for the millennial to know about Neerja who saved 359 lives by having the presence of mind and being Brave.

My View ,Go for the movie if you don’t know who Neerja Bhanot was ?

Pandeynioum -Book Review 


Pandeynioum -Piyush Pandey on advertising .The Title comes from a whatsaap group that was created by the same name for the family .And the book

was a great read ,since it’s about his time at ogilvy ,and giving some of his best work in the field of advertising ,that we even recall today The one like the Fevicol ads ,the fevi quick fishing advertisement to give a few examples ,the book by Piyush Pandey also gives you the insights on the importance of experiences in life ,observation and how sports and games like cricket can teach you a lot on planning and running a company .

Also the quote “carnival outside the boundary lines ,pure cricket inside “to describe IPL cricket even more it all began sums up the passion for cricket ,Piyush Pandey

Also quotes like “don’t let the child in you die ,He or she is a genius you are not.” tell’s you the source of his inspiration .

Last but not the least the more insecure you are about your idea the less you will share it and the less the possibility for a good idea to became a great one.
The book is a must for all advertising students and ones looking to make memorable ads in advertising .

Talvar-movie review 


Talvar -The most controversial case reopenes . The story that sent shock waves across the country in March 2008 ,when Arushi Talwar a teenager was killed in her house with her parents sleeping in the room next door The case became the talk of the town after the discovery of the servant being killed too.But still the case was messed with the police ,with no proper investigation in the case ,the CBI ego wars also messed up the case further .This is the bitter truth of the country where nothing can be done the right way .The story was filmed and shown with neutral perspective and the star cast couldn’t get better with irfan khan & kokana Sen being part as the familiar faces .The 122 minutes story was directed very well by Megha Gulzar , produced by Vishal Bhardwaj .The movie also tell us how the country still hasn’t changed much in handling cases like these ,the recent example being Indrani Mukherji’s case .The story remained true while portraying the complete incident .

The World Cup performance 

Indians are crushed by the Australian in Australia once again ,some things in history don’t change .

Like today we couldn’t chase  300+ against Australia even after playing in their country for the last 4 months  ,chasing is surely are biggest weakness ,losing a toss is another thing that goes wrong with us .

The  team hasn’t improved at all ,about 12 years ago ,2003 World Cup final we just scored 234 and today too 233 on both occasions we were playing against the same team and had a good start but could not make use of it ,they were  too dependable on the top 3  batsmen and if they don’t performe  ,the middle order tends to collapse under pressure and added to this if the captain doesn’t perform it’s total disaster.

The fighting spirit is just not there 330 was not difficult ,they made it look difficult and the battle was lost with 4 down for 100 and not taking off when needed ,also Mostly everybody expected India to make it in the semifinals with the way there were placed and there were no surprises with other team too being part of the later knockout stages and the semi too were expected to be played amongst these ,only the hype of India playing against  pak kept the fans on their toes to watch the QF between the host and the visitor .

But the semi final was the real test ,the real World Cup and the real battleground which mattered ,but couldn’t be won .

Ok I agree we could not win 8/8 matches this World Cup ,today must not have been our day ,but what do you have to say about the loss by 95 runs and with 3 overs to spare and no where close to the target .

And what do you have to say about the missed opportunity that changed the game ?

Do you believe you were over confident this time ?for this real test .

If we were champions ,why dint we show it .has the Midas touch from our captain disappeared ?
