First Day at Office

Though I have 8 yrs of work experience, still first day at work reminded of my first day at my first job. Freelance work never gave that feeling.

The feeling of morning rush, waiting for project person to take you inside the office, signing-in for the first time in your new machine, meeting / greeting people. “Nice to meet you’, ‘Just drop by to say hello’, ‘Welcome to Our Company’, ‘See you around’ etc. etc. are few blurbs, I heard a lot today.

I love to praise myself, but seriously I have been a good team player / star performer in my previous companies. So, Lets see how it goes @ new one.

Wish me Luck!! Thanks, Love to all.

My First Pizza

Yes, I made the pizza @ home for the first time. Not to mention, I love cooking but pizza was something, I was postponing for long time. I dont like the concept of getting the pizza base and cook on top of it. I wanted to make pizza base at home… I was just being lazy all this while.

Accidently manish switched to Food channel when we both were watching TV this afternoon and you guessed it right, they were making pizza. That was the kick for me, and we went for grocery and started the cooking.

Since we were so hungry, we thought we can easily eat 2 pizzas. Me and manish loved it so much, but By the time we finished one, we realized, we both were wrong. But, We were neither want to refregrate the pizza nor eat it.

So, We literally went out for a walk and caem home and had pizza once again…

The Last Lear

The Last Lear‘ … I loved it. It makes fascinating and uncompromising journey in one’s thoughts.  

The Last Lear is only about Harry (AB), how he is persuaded to act in a film and his concealed regrets. He always wanted to enact King Lear but due to some ambiguous reasons, could not.

Amitabh Bachchan played the role of Harry. Moody like the English weather, he expects everyone to be well-versed with A Midsummer Night’s Dream and recognise it’s the Tempest that he lovingly quotes. 

The role of Ivy, a nurse, played by Divya Dutta outperformed by her accent used in the movie. Shefali Shah (urf Vandana in movie) played a very sponstaneous character. and yeah not to mention the lead actress Preity (urf Shabnam) in not her so-called-bubbly role, amazingly perfomed the role. But above all, Harry had been the powerful old guy. 

The movie is an indulgent celebration of a larger-than-life personality, a classic consumed, for better or worse, by his art. In this case, Shakespeare. 

Though, I am not a big fan of Shakespeare, but this movie has made me.

Indifference

“Once one has given up attachment to actions as a means of obtaining rewards as well as giving up the desire for the rewards of actions one becomes tranquil and content without any need for acquisition or accumulation. Such persons although sometimes appearing to be engaged in actions naturally or prescribed, factually do nothing as all their activities are actually inaction.”

-B.G. Ch. 4, Verse 20

So true, so content, May be thats y wise people say that Shri Bhagavad Gita is the way of life.

Who doesnt like surprises, but it is more heart-touching, when you receive from your loved ones… Yeah you guessed it right, I got another surprise gift.
