Life is a funny Riddle! :-)

I am here again with a happy and positive state of mind… Today is my off after working for 3 continuous weekends…. And I am already feeling very refreshed.. :-)

Yes…! I was not so happy till 2011… I was trying to come out of the situations prevailing in my life at that time… At some point of time we all are in some or the other such situations where we ask ourselves where Am I going? What is the purpose? And blah blah…

Sometimes after getting all we ever wanted we remain sad and feel….. Is this what I once asked for? And this is all very natural and normal question….. They say having everything can’t makes us happy… It’s our inner feeling and state of mind that rules our mind.. I used to say this for consoling myself but the fact is… Things around us affect us big time even after having our dream job we can be sad….. Surroundings affect our positivity and sense of personal satisfaction…

Let’s take an example, When I was in my first job, the nature of my job was field sales… I used to run around all the time like a ‘Pizza delivery boy’ but I was still in love with life and enjoyed every bit of it…. And the reason was the environment and surroundings… I had friends…. I had really good boss…. I had a fun life… I loved the office culture… It was just awesome! The only bad thing was the nature of job and that I used to do all the time but I still never hated my office…. In fact, I was in love with it!

On contrary, my second job… Nature of my job was brilliant…. It was all brain work… Conceptualizing marketing campaigns… working towards making a brand, writing content for various advertisements and websites  and I handled it very well…. It was something I always wanted to do… But I hated my office… I never liked the people around…. The environment was very very bad.. All dirty and cheap politics….. And I honestly felt I am in hell… I used to ask myself the same Question- Is this what I always wanted…?  I wanted to be in Marketing and there I was head of it… Still I hated it…. It was never about the work but it was other supporting things…. You cannot live in a luxurious palace with dirty people…!

Or I would say ‘It is like I cannot eat my favorite food in a filthy place with bad people! But I can eat my not so favorite food in a very nice, clean and exciting place with my loved ones’ and that makes sense too.. :-)

I feel I am an expert at it now… I have been in such situation sooo many times that now when I see someone wondering over the same... I feel like telling them… It’s a temporary feeling with an easy solution…  Ask yourself where you wish to reach in life and then analyze what you do today is helping in reaching that goal or you are just flowing with the tide unhappily…. If that’s the case… Fight for it… Figure out your priorities in life…. Of course everyone deserves a brilliant life…. We never are the slaves of destiny… We should fight for ourselves where ever required…

After all ultimate aim of life is happiness…. So, give yourself time… jot down on paper what you want and have a cup of black coffee and relax…. Cheers! ;-) Bliss… :D

By the way… God I love you… And thanks for being there for me… Just be there for my loved ones too… Thank you…. Muaah.. :-)

I am BACK!! :-)

Yayy!! I am back... Life is being great and eventful... Year started on a brilliant note when one good day I decided to resign from my bloody job! And that good day was in first week on January... ;-)

Well.. I know many of us think and just think about doing the same but they bear with the situations till the time they can... And I also stretched it till the time I could have... Then I decided to fight for myself and try to be in better place....

Phewww.... After resign, I felt like a free bird... repaired myself and gained back my self confidence... After resting for 2-3 days I started my real job! That was looking for a good place to work with interesting work.. 

In quest for the same I tried various ways.. I updated my CV on various job portals... Personally posted CV in the career section of good companies where I was interested and used Linkedin wisely.... All these efforts were not in vain.... After thoughtful consideration, I gave 4 interviews and after some wait I am really proud to say that I was selected in all 4... :D this boosted my confidence level even more.... After analyzing all the options I picked up a job and finally joined it in February second week...

Well... I am glad today that I decided to fight for better life... And today I feel good... I feel one should not waste time in doing something they don't like... We got one life... We have all the right to choose what to do... I understand although sometimes we are struck in certain situations which compel us to be in places we never intended to be... But honestly, one should always fight for what they deserve! As we never know where may God listen to us and change things for betterment...

Thank you once again God... I love you.... Thank you again for making me feel blessed again :D Muaah.. As expected... the time of resignation shocked me I saw the most dirtiest faces I ever imagined... Lets not spoil Pearl by writing about all that nonsense... ;-)

My Likes of 2011: Movies!

2011 was an average year for me with mixed happenings… But it was certainly an entertaining one in terms of Movies…. I watched almost 70% of the bollywood releases in theatre… So, here I would like to share my 11 interesting-to-watch movies of 2011… ;-)

And the list goes…

Rockstar
My Rating- ****1/2
I maintained my record of watching 3rd movie of Imtiaz Ali in a row on its release date.. And honestly, it was one of the best movies of Imtiaz… I simply loved it from the beginning till the end… Although, the end could have been better… But, somehow I feel it was cool enough…

Ladies vs Ricky Behl
My Rating- ****
Movie was fun! I enjoyed and laughed… had good time watching it…. An entertainer and light movie to change mood and give a boost.. :-)

Don 2 - The Chase Continues
My Rating-****
A stylo movie! Inspired from Oceans 11… An entertainer with a suspense… You can watch.. enjoy… think and relate…. An interesting watch..

No One Killed Jessica
My Rating-****
An informative one... Reality was very well presented…. I loved Rani’s character in the movie…. Awesome dialogues and direction…

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
My Rating-****
After watching ZNMD... I was in a different world… I was so lost… It’s a brilliant one for travel-lovers like me…. Although, Spain tourism is somewhat promoted in the movie…. It’s again more about travelling and hitting the unknown… Enjoying life to fullest…. Discovering oneself… And… Travelling… travelling…. & Travelling..

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
My Rating-***1/2
A comedy movie… I loved the first half… second half was kinda imposed…. But overall… it was a good watch…

Ready
My Rating-***1/2
A complete Salman Khan movie…. Typical Masala for Sallu lovers…. I enjoyed it…. ;-)

Tanu Weds Manu
My Rating-***
I watched it just like that… We had nothing better to do…. And, I actually felt it was not that bad… A onetime watch movie…. Although old storyline but presented well… Kangana’s role could have been given to some good actor.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
My Rating-***
A light family entertainer... Good one if you wanna laugh… I liked it!

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
My Rating-***
It was again a fun movie…. Shown pagalpan… things which most of us love to do…. :P… Onetime watch entertainer…

Delhi Belly
My Rating-**1/2
Well, I generally decide my liking for the movie from the feel I get after watching it…. The feel was not that bad after watching Delhi Belly…. And moreover, I had to touch 11…. So, I am mentioning this… You can bear it if you are okay with abusive language….

So, these were my 11 movies…. The movies I really hated were ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Double Dhamaal’… :P

2011 was a filmy year… As movies were the major source of entertainment… Let’s see what’s in store for 2012… ;-)

Me and my friend mutually decided to write this post about movies... And I think his post worth a read.. You can read it here... :-)
