I downloaded the  book after watching Kapil Sharma show. Frankly i feel that i cannot judge the book whether it is good or bad. The reason being I have lived my life with films so much so that the the names of Indian Film people have become part of my DNA. It feels to me like i know them. I am not a crazy fanatic fan but i am a very well read guy who has seen thousands of movies. It didn't took me long to finish this book. The book is just a diary of Rishi Kapoor where he tells you everything about himself and you also get to know that Rishi Kapoor has an opinion about each and everything and before this, we just didn't know about it.  He is brash and wants things in his way and I have met people like him in my real life and hated them. I don't think I will meet Rishi Kapoor in real life and will like him. But one thing stands out in this book and it is the honesty with which it was written. Rishi Kapoor Doesn't spare himself and when he is wrong like to call it...

Do you know Adidas and Puma are owned by brothers who turned rivals in one part of their life and one of the brothers decided to quit and open his own company. The elder brother owns Adidas, and the younger brother owns Puma. It is a wonder that they started two companies separately and son both company turned to be one of the best brands of the world. Well, I started with the Tivia to build your interest into the article. I read this book few days back and i immediately wanted to write the review of this book but then procrastination took over and i didn't write any blog for few days. It was the the first thing that i wanted to put on my blog because i know many of you people don't even know about it. The journey of Phil Knight and is nothing less than amazing. Frankly, I used to think that NIKE was a very old brand and it's owner might have died till now leaving his abundance of wealth to his grand kids. I never tried to know about it but it came on a suggesti...

The best thing I liked about this biography which tells you about the birth of a Company i it's humorous writing. It is a very interesting read. It is more of a biography of Tony Hsieh and his life and unlike the last book that i read about Jia Jang, he doesn't mention his personal life too much. He only reveals as much personal life as is necessary, only those parts that are connected somewhere with the story and birth of Zappos.  Tony Hsieh started his humble journey, which is not so humble because he was a topper throughout and a Harvard graduate which means he already had his mind int he right place. The good thing about him was that he was ready to take risks, he would read a lot of books, he had a great set of people around and he was thoroughly a great optimistic person. He was charged for success. He writes this book like good things happen to hum and he wasn't expecting them. It was his positive nature.  Tony Hsieh didn't actually create Zappos, he was ...

It was a random day for me. I got up at normal time and then i messaged an ad film director whom i have send my showreel that how he felt about it. I met this ad film director two days ago and he gave me some very valuable advises. His name is Suresh Triveni and he has directed hundreds of ads including that Famous Mauka Mauka Ad during world cup. He is also making a film with Vidya Balan so he has left Ad film world for a while. He asked me to send him my showreel and i was really happy to send it to him. He saw it after i messaged him and he asked me to send him my showreel which i did but i guess he didn't like it and messaged back that it wasn't advertising material. For some unknown reasons i wasn't demotivated reading about his rejection to my showreel instead i took it as a challenge to prove to him that before he will finish his film, i will be directing ad films for all brands and i will be touted as the busiest ad film director in the Mumbai. I will out of my ...

So yesterday night I came home late and bought Karan Johar's book "An Unsuitable Boy" and started reading it. I was apprehensive about what it would be about but I found it a great read. It feels like that now I know Karan Johar as my next door neighbor. One of the reasons I liked the book was because the stories that were written in the book, I had grown up with those stories. I know Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Aditya Chopra and everyone Karan knew like they were my buddies. I have grown up watching movies by Karan Johar and I always loved his films. Not any recent ones. There were so many things that I assumed about him. Like he was filthy rich and had a comfortable life. Well he was rich but to his own standards he was middle class, probably because he hadn't seen middle class. His love for Shahrukh and Aditya really moved me. I was really emotional reading what he thinks about Aditya Chopra. Karan i guess is someone who really wants someone really close to him. H...
