37. Amitabh Bachchan teaches that greatness is neither talent nor fluke... it's core hard work !!

I love Amitabh Bachchan. Everyone loves Amitabh Bachchan. I know he is a hard working guy. I meet many people everyday who tell me inside stories of film industry, most repeated and asked being, how does actors behave on sets. One of my friends, Raashul Tandon, who worked in Pink with Amitabh Bachchan, he was one of the four boys who play culprit, told me that no one one set was as had working as Amitabh Bachchan. Even during lunch he would go back to his vanity rehearse lines. Piyush Mishra, another co-star of his in the film never worked hard because he had already decided for himself that he is a great actor and would fumble a lot during scenes, but Bachchan would always give one take OK shot. Amitabh Bachchan is very time punctual and I have witnessed that in my real life. He is hard working and you would be surprised to know that he has no PR team to look after his facebook , blog and Twitter accounts, he does that all to himself. He told that himself to My friend Raashul when he...

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.

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.

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 ...
