Public Relations ...... Alive n Kickin'

Finally I have found time to enroll for Public Relations Consultant course ....... A dedicated time off about 6-8hrs per week from my exciting humdrum work at AT&T Mobility.......

Having completed 2 modules of 8 listed along with their course work , assignments & test..... I feel it’s an exciting time in public relations, as the landscape will surely be evolving and changing........ Its a window of writing to ones own world !!!

I am seeking to learn most appropriate media, writing good press release, techniques & building relations with newspapers, TV, radio. Seemingly everyone is blogging today ......... and you should too.

It’s a right start to be in this PR industry !!! Trust me ...... Its worth it ......

Happy B'day To Me ............. Feb 28th !!!

I always think should I celebrate according to IST or CST ??? Never mind ..... Its my b'day and I have all the time to create time ...... Ahem .... Ahem !!!

Happy Birthday to me ........
Happy Birthday, have another beer ........
Happy Birthday to me .........

I love my family. I love my friends .I love my job. I love my life. And I love you all, even when you’re grumpy .............

Here’s what I want you to do for my birthday. Send someone an e-mail and tell them how much you appreciate them, or love them .......... That’s what I want as a b'day gift .......... That would mean a lot to me ...........

Grazieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!

Paranoid About Passwords ???

Do you control your passwords or do your passwords control you .... ? That's a tricky one ......

I just had a strange feeling about this at work today ...... Nope ! I was not trying to beat those Monday Blues ........ I think these passwords are like toothbrush ....... Never to be used by someone else than you ..... I am sure they need to be changed once every 6 months .........

But I am sure there are many of us who are paranoid of passwords ...... Especially guys trying to hide stuff from the opposite sex ...... Hmmmmm maybe even vice versa ...... What say people ?? .............

Every God Has Its Day ........ Jai Ho !!!

When somebody is doing a film on a slum boy, it is bound to show the hard reality in slum areas ........ That does not mean that India has been projected in the wrong way ..........

If you get to watch ‘City of God’ which shows the bad side of Brazil , one expects it to be a poor country with little scope for improvement ..........
But actually Brazil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world along with Mexico, India and China ......... So lets not waste time in cribbing on petty things or try to join those hypocrites ..........

I would rather celebrate for all the good reasons & emotions ........ AR Rahman has equalled the academy record for highest nominations the same year for music.......... Its time to hail Rahman. Stay Blessed AR ............. Jai Hoooooo !!!

Oscar Predictions ...............

Hate it or love it, the underdog is on top.........

*** Do not miss it to watch on Feb 22nd ......... Adiós .........

New Jersey To New Zealand ..........

Did you like the new jersey by Nike ??
My honest first reaction was......

Is it Sahara for India or India for Sahara ........?
Come on we all know Money Talks ........ Another faux pas by BCCI .......

Goodluck to Team India on their new jersey to New Zealand tour starting next week ....... finally after 6 long years !!!

2009 - Can It Get Worse Than Great Depression ??

We are about to witness a painful summer for Wall Street, nothing different from previous summers ........

Leveraged buyouts are responsible for this current scenario.....It is a very dangerous trend that has played its part in causing increasing defaults of companies and non-performing assets of banks going up..............

What will happen in the next six months is not known. Having read of recession & depression in the books....... Now I feel we are living in actual history..........

Nevertheless, we cannot lose hope as I am sure we are not at the end of a tunnel yet........ or is Mayan doomsday prophecy on its way ??

Bankruptcy of Ideas ??

Mutalik follows Indian Culture. He does not wear Chaddi which campaigners are sending him...... Lol .... Jokes apart........

Pink Chaddi is western in design and culture.What is the use of sending this ? You think he will get the right message ? Come on ...... Wake up !! Get some better ideas ....... Now do not tell me we need bailout plans for Ideas ......... I am sure we have many in store....

By the way who is this Mutalik, what is his background, qualification, experience and family background.........Does he have children? If yes I feel pity for them to have such a narrow minded, hypocrite father. Cut the crap ...... Enjoy Feb 14th ' 09 ........

Happy Valentines Day !!! Have a great weekend .......... Ciao :)

Ideal Valentine Couple......... Countdown Begins !!

Good Morning My Dear Valentine .......
What makes you think I am the one ?
As you know the "World" to me has be nothing more than fun ...........

To make it simple America is calling Iraq its valentine for all the good reasons....... I am still not sure how many of you got it ?? ....... Hmmmmmm ............

Luck by Chance .............. Impressed !!!

This review is by one of my close friend Pavan .........
Has amazing knowledge about movies around the world ..... A to Z ...... You name them !! His take on LBC ...........

LBC was far far better than Rock On.. LBC is one of the best Hindi screen plays off late.. I was so amazed by each and every frame and was hoping that you would write a review of the movie in ur blog so that I cud comment in detail about it.. I badly wanted to write abt it.. I had been to the movie with 8 others and everybody hated the movie saying it was too slow & boring.........

I cud totally understand why they felt so.. But even though I had read here and there that its a slow movie, I felt it was one of the gripping movies I've watched recently.. The screen play and dialogues were amazing...
Hats off to Javed Saab for writing such witty dialogues.. .. Sheer pleasure.. !
The cameos by all the stars were so apt..Mac Mohan [ His character kaalia is popular, but he had just one dialogue in the entire movie 'Sholay' ] to SRK [ Who is known to be close to all his pre stardom friends and GF(gauri) ] to Aamir khan..who goes to the director after every shot and reviews it... I feel one should be crazy abt movies and film industry to actually follow and enjoy this movie..

The more you watch it the more gems u unearth and will enjoy it more.. That's the reason I said Cinema Paradisoooo.. [ which truly celebrated cinema ].. Akhtars are on bunch of talented ppl.. Bow to all of them.. I was really impressed with the credit rolls at the beginning where they showed all those ppl behind the 'scenes'.. Very thoughtful and apt ! I felt bad that such a movie was not appreciated by the larger audience.. But if you notice Esp in India.. the greatest movies have been great duds at Box office.. I force myself to stop at this point.. :).. !

Definitely a movie which you come out of the theater and wait for the DVD release... !!

The Pink Panther 2 ........ Mohawk-ish Hairdo Works ??

Aish on PP2 red carpet , definitely deserves some appreciation........

I know it is easy to criticize, but why always ???

Yes, some of our actors are pretentious and plastic because they are Indian but try to pass themselves off as Beverly Hills wannabes. That is where they are exposed and get artificial.........
So ?? ........ Its high time we do some homework on appreciation........ I am biased here ..... ;-)

I am not sure about the movie faring well ..... But for me Mohawk-Aish hairdo works !!!

Congratulations Sania Mirza And Mahesh Bhupathi ...........

In Unity is Strength, and in Strength lies all the power to overcome failure and to be Blessed with Success ..........

Congrats to Sania & Mahesh for winning their maiden Grand Slam Title at the Australian Open 2009 !!!

As we know tennis does begin with love .... (Zero-Zero) ..... Now please do not start assuming for some cooked up story between them ......... ;-)
