It’s Monday! And voila, there’s more work to do J

I’m trying to work as much as possible, make it good work so that it helps me in my next job switch.

Abhi working on a couple of films for my biggest client. If made well, they’ll help me a lot in my career growth. If not, well it’s okay. There’s always the next big thing!

Lage raho adi bhai!!!

The worst thing about coming to work on a holiday is when you don’t get any feedback on the work you did the day before.

Here I’m on a Saturday morning, sitting, waiting, in two minds whether to start working on a new brief simultaneously or wait for the feedback to carry the last night’s work forward. And then they talk about ownership of work!

Yes, the master has done it. He is now the highest run-getter in the history of cricket. And what runs man. The display board at the stadium rightly said, he has made us proud with his achievements.

Anyways, the match is still on. We’ve just crossed 200 with Dada and Sachin on crease. Let’s see what the final session will bring. And just now Rajesh has brought me my lunch bill for the week! 67 rupees for the last five days. Hasn’t had much this week J

Trivia. Everything is numbers. Aur kya?

Anyways, I get back to work. Scripting two or three films for my client and middling with a lot of things at the same time. Will be following tendulkar and company on cricinfo though.

See ya!

Tendulkar breaks Lara’s record

A player of two parts

Last evening, we were talking about the new sensation, arvind adiga and now that he has won the booker a lot many people will pick the book up. Dee said she would go for it to know why it won the booker. I on my part had no interest in it pehle se hi and after booker bhi, it doesn’t matter. I’ll read it if I feel like or if is recommended by someone close.

From the novel to the merits of his writing to his age we zeroed in to the prize money J 50,000 pounds! And I quickly went on to calculate the amount it’ll turn out to be in rupees and was quickly chided by her for wrong calculation as I took the exchange rate at only 60 while the pound was actually selling at near 75 rupees.

Anyways, the point was we started thinking what we would have done with the money. That came after we thought how nice it would be to the youngest booker winner ourselves. Haan, so what we would have done with the money. It didn’t take much. We straightaway zeroed in to buying a house for us with the prize money and if anything left, to stash it away in a bank account.

Long after the conversation, I kept wondering how simple our wishes are. To have a home of our own, to have a good monthly income and a loving family life. It doesn’t take much to be happy, if we really cut our greed out.

And one more thing, if you go around asking people what they would do with a prize money like that, more often than not, you’ll come out with an honest answer which will be closer to their heart. And that will tell you much about the person than any EQ or IQ or management quiz possible.

khuda majboor hai
panchtantra ki kahani ke
us hathi ki tarah
jise 6 andhon ne tatola
6 taraf se
aur maan liya
apne hi nishkarsh ko
sach sabse bada

un andhon ki
aginat andhi santano ne
baant liya hai khuda ko
aur bhi thoda-thoda
aur lad rahi hain aaj
apni-apni sachaiyon ke liye

khuda aaj bhi wahin khada hai
aur kar raha hai
na jane
kis ghadi ka intezaar

god is helpless
like the fabled elephant
of the panchtantra
who was felt over
on six sides
by six blind men
and they came to the conclusion
that theirs was the only true version

innumerable blind progeny
of those six blind men
have further divided god
little by little
and are fighting today
for their own truths

god is still standing there
and is waiting for
who knows
what moment to come

This way I’ll be able to stay in touch more often. That translates to your being bugged more frequently. That is, if you come over here J
