Where do I start to describe this man? I don't exactly know from where so I will start from any random point.  He is one of the few clean hearted people I have ever met in my life. I first met him in 2011 when he was doing music for a director I was assisting back then. We never had a close one to one chat back then. four years later, in the second half of 2015, he messaged me out-of-blue on facebook that he was making a music video and whether I was interested in directing it. It was a free gig and he was also doing it as a favor to one of his friend. I don’t normally do free shoots anymore in Mumbai but somehow I said yes because frankly, I wanted to meet him. He has always been extra nice to me and had once helped me in the background music of one of my short films. We met and we gelled instantly. To know about his background, he is the son of Legendary singer Poornima, who started her career with R.D. Burman. His mother was a big name during 90s bollywood era a...

Did you ever wonder why there are only few people who get success and that you are not one of them? Did you ever stop to think what these few people know that you don’t? Today, I am going to tell you what that one thing is that all these people had which turned them into a winner. Hard work is the key to success, my teacher said that when I was in class third. He was wrong. You may feel that you do all kinds of hard work but still the results have not been in your favor. Your best friend you had in your junior class who was way far behind you, now earns more and leads a happy life. People far worse than you had suddenly shot up to rich and fame and you don’t understand why because you are still where you started with few promotions and success to your credit and with a bank balance that looks like a stand up comedian’s act. So here is one curiosity, are you doing hard work. Well, my first advice is, stop doing it. The truth is that you don’t ha...

Note : My apologies in advance as i forgot to click pictures and make videos of my rejections. I will make them from now on and post them here. I have been stalling going out of the house for three days and finally i went out an finished most of my work. I felt the urge to write this blog today because today i have the content. My day started as usual as me getting up pretty late like 10 A.M. The thing about me getting up in the morning is that i don't get up at one go, I get up several times. I have to fill the water, then there are several people who knock at my door and i don't respond. I have going through this for many days and now i have decided to adjust my life around my sleeping pattern instead of trying really hard to change it. Today i am very tired and i felt really sleepy before i again lost my sleep and i am awake at his mid night writing this blog about my first day of rejections. If you have been reading my blogs ( I know you are not, I check stats everyda...

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...
