I am big movie fan and watching movies on a regular basis from past two decades. Over the years I have realized one thing that Bollywood has grown commercially. Producers are no more sufferers as they are aware about the business tactics to recover the money which they are investing in Bollywood cinema. If any of the producers is not aware then they have sufficient money to hire someone who is aware about the tactics. In modern world, Chankya can be hired and several such Chankya are ready to get hired after completing education from business school. Don’t think that I am student of philosophy or I am into lot of reading. Movie: Dil Dhadkne Do made me realize all this fact. After release it has stayed houseful for seventy two hours which ensured that all money is recovered. The movie has a funny and short story which Zoya Akhtar tried to stretch for two hours by utilizing the cinematography skill in really beautiful way. It is a sweet family story which you can watch for ...

Competition is an addiction and the consequences of it leave high impact on the individuals. But you ever thought that your victory also affects the life of people around you.

I was going through few old articles about Siachen Glacier. It has a very fascinating story, about two nations who raced towards the peak in a fight of who will reach up first. Due to tactician and quick intelligence reports India managed to occupy the top. Two countries fighting the war in -50 degree Celsius temperature. It is good to read the fact but it is unimaginably difficult to live up there and fight a war which has no end or may be no end in the near future. Once, a VIP made a visit to Siachen Glacier accompanied with Indian Army Chief. It was a 7 minutes visit which was leaked out by few media persons. The VIP had very less interaction with the troops and it was a tick mark made by him on his list of visiting places. When he sat down in helicopter to make his way back, he asked the Army Chief, ‘General, don’t you think that it is waste of time, money and resources to occupy barren ice on such huge height?’ May be general did not prefer to answer his question or even the...

He told me that black coffee is hard and if taken without sugar, it will vanish off my sleep. Not a bad idea was my idea. But I was naive, as I was not cognizant how to make even a simple coffee, neither he was sure about it. When you are not sure, then ask Google, and I did the same thing. I asked Google, and came to know it is the meekest thing which anyone can cook. Recipe: 1.        Take some water in a cup. 2.        Boil it callously. 3.        Take a cup or glass, or beer mug, whatever you fancy to guzzle awe-inspiring black coffee. 4.        Put coffee as per your tang into the cup. 5.        Put little hot water...
