This phenomenon called rajni is back with his latest movie titled his own name with a tagline thats true to his status here ( The Boss ) .As it happens with every rajni film ,there is anxiety ,talk over the undisclosed amount he has been paid for his work and the number of records it can break,which more of ten than not are records set by his own films.
Chandramukhi ,his last film was a clear example of it,grossing 100 crores and running in theatres for more than a year .


What makes sivaji even more special is the looks of rajni ,director shankar is always known for the pre releasy hype with his films ,we saw vikram dressed in weird costumes before anniyan got released and the same with rajni .The rajni that the stills show is the guy you would see his billa ,the dress and stills definitely bring to memory the more enrgetic,stylish phenomenon called RAJNI.

Why an MBA ,a question i have asked myself over and over again in the recent few months .All this knowing well i dont fit in to the typical pseud MBAgiri .

Infact iam the other way round.Iam one of those guys you will see whiling away his time in a computer lab surrounded by Ubuntu`s fedora`s ,either chatting or looking through some odd concepts. What makes me think i should do is first the parental pressure .I come from a famliy where except my mom ,everyone holds a masters degree be it the IITs,IIMs .Then there is a pressure on me to deliver the same.However thats not all , i think a true career can be fulfilling only when you get to realise your dream or in other words you get a chance to execute your dream.
who can get your dreams better than yourself.Yes iam talking about making your own money spinner than slogging day in and day out spinning someone in to billions and u making a few dollars. Life i believe can be more rewarding than that .
To be fair i hated MBA`s so much for it all i knew about them was “Technically Ineligible ” .Do we need tailored MBAs in the age when most of the CEOs are self made . I really did think this was true. Until i realised MBAs are very much a true entity of any successfull organisation. Today when we are at the verge of having our own startup LatentRoutes .We defnitely realise that ,technical expertise of any order can at the most sell you to a big company.To however get yourself in to the market and make it big .You need a guy who can convince people you are the best ,no matter how big a deviation it is from reality.
And even if you were to grow from being a startup to a large organisation.Then it also true That the best captain for speed boats in the world may not be the best resource for running an oil tanker.
At some point of time you need a regular MBA who can do the daily chores and lets you think about the ideas ,something that most startup founders revel in .
I certainly want to get ahead and try my ideas in the open but the prospect of having a good MBA i belive will make me all the more that just lucky .So my target takes me here
Its not easy by any means ,but who said its dull.Life is worth all the chances that you dare to take in

Starring Aishwarya Rai, this movie is based on a true story of an Indian immigrant Kiranjit Ahluwalia. Unable to bear the brutality and repeated rapes by her allegedly abusive and alcoholic husband, a battered Punjabi housewife and mother of two, Kiranjit Ahluwalia (Aishwarya Rai) sets fire to her abusive husband, Deepak Ahluwalia (Naveen Andrews) and kills him unintentionally. Charged with murder, she is sentenced to life imprisonment where she befriends her cellmate, a wealthy white woman named Veronica Scott (Miranda Richardson), from whom she learns English. Her cell mate is so moved by her story that she asks her step-brother, Edward Foster (Robbie Coltrane)

Fred Wilson blogs about a new direction that JibJab is headed in and uses this funny video to add cheer.

4.2/5

My wife and I loved the movie and were thoroughly entertained by the cheeky flavor of comedy that pervaded the first few minutes of this crossover. I think Mira Nair is yet to produce her best ever and part of the reason might be that she gets better every time (leaving her first ever aside ofcourse) !

“I had no sense of losing a parent or parent-figure at that time”, said Jhumpa Lahiri, the author of ‘Namesake’ in an interview, sitting along with Mira, “”But I was watching what it was like for my parents to lose those dear to them in another country. More importantly, I was just coming to the age I saw my parents’ friends lose someone close to them to a heart attack and cancer.”

I guess that meant the book was supposed to be in part, a memoir of a person who experiences paternal loss and begins searching for his roots, while standing strong on his context, and in part, an ode to the loss of context that an immigrant experiences as he tries to make home in a foreign land, away from his roots.

Somewhere in the last few scenes of the movie, I feel that Mira Nair might has subtly transformed Gogol’s character to a much more sentimental, reasonably shaken and fragile one than the book originally intended it to be. Although, the brilliant movie maker that she is, she pulled it nicely together by throwing the audience back to a page right in the middle of the book where the Dad and Son take this small little walk to where “there is no where else left to go”. That pleased the reader in me well enough to go “Now THAT is an ending!” because I knew that the book had no cinematic appeal to how it ended and I was wondering what Mira saw fit to conclude this part love story, part melancholy and part ode.

I know you know that we knowingly delayed posting this collage for a long long time now!

I wanted to write atleast a 72 posts detailing every day of my trip to India. It was a beautiful 72 day journey, well spent with family, making little trips to near by places and cities.

The more I went around, the more I realized that I missed a lot more!

It is so hard to look back now and as I was wondering how best to capture the emotional splash of the moment, I realized I had these pictures! Each worth countless words!

So, I chose to post the collage and let you guys comment while I get going with plans for my next quarter in college and another busy 3 months.

To those that I crossed paths with in this trip, it was nice meeting you all. To those that I missed, I will not apologize because I know we will find a chance to meet again in a more meaningful way !
