The Ellen DeGeneres Show

I was switching TV channels on a random morning, I stopped at one because the cute lady was saying something on the show and I decided to hear her out.
It was The Ellen DeGeneres Show, I have never seen it before but for some reasons I decided not to switch channels ahead and give it a try, and it was awesome. I got some new information (or old I am assuming it was late Indian telecast) from it too, like Obama in trailer of Dancing with stars, official announcement of Finding Dory by Pixar and Ellen.


So on this episode (Season 13 Episode 09) Ellen was trying to kick football and she asked a girl to come up on stage and try, the girl tried, she was filled with enthusiasm. That girl was so excited and jumping, extremely happy to be on the show. Then later Ellen showed her the car they were about to give that girl, you know the reaction when people get expensive stuff on TV shows, it was the same but this show is something different. If you take different types of show, a comedy show, musical show, a celebrity show (this type is so common that those too frequent celebs will soon be common) and human-interest stories, oh I forgot one "the 15 minutes fame" so take them all and put it in a grinder ,mix them well and the juice will be The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Its good, unique and a whole package deal. And I will give the credit to the entire team of this show and Ellen.
With this blog I am doing my little bit to encourage the makers/presenter of  a quality show,
Great Show guys and Ellen.


P.S
I am happy for the girl that got the car, god bless her :)

Ownership - The Corporate World

All those who work in corporate industry know what its like when the manager comes to you and asks about a problem, now if you whine about it, its not a good idea. You need to take ownership in the job you do. If you are assigned to do a job then all the headache is yours, the issues you will face, the solutions, everything. You are supposed to get the job done no matter what issues you face, if you have a problem then do not speak until you have a solution to it. If you take a good look at all the successful people out there you will find that, all of them know their job, they take their time, they get the job done.

I am writing about ownership because I come across many people who do not take responsibility in their actions, and I just don't get it, when it comes to appreciation everyone is like *me* but when it comes to criticism they are like *he*. Its not good morally and socially too, you will lose respect.
When you take ownership, you might be taking responsibility for many people's mistake but that makes the difference, Ownership takes you to the next level, eventually you will realize the management notices your work and people respect you more. You will soon be one of those guys who makes the decision. But all this will happen if you follow some basic rules
-I get paid by the company I should be loyal to it.
-I should respect the company because I get respect because of it.
-I am assigned to work on this project and I will give my best.

Always remember, you will get the best if you give the best. Don't think you work gets unnoticed, never ever, everything you do, all your actions are noticed, so make sure you leave a good impression.
The theory of survival of the fittest fits at all scenarios.
Take ownership and you will see the difference.

Hate the culprit, not the entire community. A Bajrangi Bhaijaan review.

Honestly I did not expect much from this movie but the message it conveyed successfully and in a very cute/simple way is incredible. In our country (India), everyone knows two major Religions Hinduism and Islam, and due to British divide and rule policy (may be some other reasons too) there is a huge difference between these two communities. When our country was divided and a new nation Pakistan was formed, it was stated that the population will not be divided, but sadly it did not happen and we all know millions of people lost their lives in that horrifying event.

Since then, India and Pakistan are two nations who play cricket, fight battles, and much more. But I do not understand the reason we hate Pakistan ? That's because I am a man of reasons, logic, facts. You cannot hate the entire population of a nation just because of terrorism or government, there are terrorists in India too and they destruct their own country but does that mean we start hating our own country ?
These are my personal opinion. No harm intended to anyone.

The movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan enlightens the same concept of communal harmony. And I agree to it.
The character of Salman is named Pawan after "Pawan-sut" a devotee of Lord Hanuman. It justifies the reasons that he don't lie in entire movie, it is brilliant. And the compassion he feels for the girl is just right, even after knowing she is muslim and from Pakistan.  The Hanuman Chalisa is used at the right time and the music is impressive, it feels strong when you hear it that time. Simplicity of Salman and innocent smile make the character more believable. The director has done a great job. A typical Brahman Indian family is also portrayed quite well. Kareena fits well in the movie.
The climax is well written and brilliantly performed.

It turned out to be a great movie, defining the damaged relations of two countries.
You should watch it.

Love defined

Its not that you see someone you liked them and you are in love, it doesn't work that way.
You need to be head over heals to fall in love, you actually don't do it, it just happens, that's the beauty of it. If you think you can love someone, you are wrong, If you feel you have to have them everyday, every second in your life else you will feel incomplete the whole time, that my friend is called love.

For girls I don't know how it works, but for guys, they are flirt, they all are trust me, but a little healthy flirting doesn't mean he is not loyal to his girlfriend, it just a natural way to lighten the mood and to make that girl feel special and wanted once in a while. If a girl takes healthy flirting in a good way that means she is mature enough to understand whats going on. Jealousy is something that has no cure, you trust your partner that's it, if he/she is lying, betraying you then it will naturally come around and then you will have a choice to forgive or to move on. That's a crucial time, I personally will advise you to move on because once a cheater is always a cheater.

If you are single and disappointed that you will ever find love or not, just hang in there, your time will come and when it will come it will be more beautiful than you ever imagined.When you will fall in love, every shitty thing will seem beautiful to you, people who bothered you wont even matter, you will wait to see the one you love and when you will see the person, you will get butterflies in your stomach and that's the wonderful feeling you will ever feel.
It's all actually kind of dream, you know how dreams are so realistic you can't tell if it was a 
dream.

Many people think true love is no more, people just get into relationships to use each other, but ask me I have loved someone truly, we are not together, but I wish her a happy and better life, I know we will never be together, she is a wonderful girl who understand feelings and knows how to respect other's feelings. I wish her all the good things in life. God bless you.

For me love is not to get, it should be unconditional, we look for profit in every goddam thing on earth, love should be unconditional, otherwise its not love. It will be a business transaction.
Believe me true love is still out there, you just need to wait or identify the one and get going.
Hope, Faith, Peace, Love, Believe.

The Anti-Social Network

Hi everyone,

I want you all to take good 5 minutes of your lives and give this idea a piece of your mind.
The cellphone we use, majorly for Social Network, I couldn't be more straight here, "Just stop over doing it"

You are thinking you are closer to the person you love but actually you are going away. These networks are here for communication, not to live your life on a wall. I go to facebook once or twice a day (Actually I am a YouTube addict) just to see what my friends are up to and after scrolling for 30 seconds I am back in the real world, with people who are with me. In future when you won't have the bones to walk, the courage to jump, the passion to ride, you will regret each and every unproductive second spent here on these cobwebs of internet.

You need to make most of everything we have, because life may seem long, but its actually really small when you begin to realize the joy of small things. You may not realize this, just have a look the facts below.
Users send out 58 million tweets per day, with 9,100 happening every second. However, there are 222 million Twitters who just watch other people’s tweets. There are 684,478 pieces of content shared on Facebook; 3,600 new photos on Instagram; 2,083 check-ins on Foursquare during every minute of everyday. People are spending 1 out of every 7 minutes on Facebook when online. Facebook users typically are spending 10.5 Billion minutes (almost 20,000 years) on the social network. And, that’s excluding mobile devices. See 20,000 Years, we can't even begin to imagine how valuable and priceless piece of time is wasted and it goes on.

If you are applying for a new job, you know your chances of getting that job may be so much reduced because of your social networking website profile page? Often employs search for applicant’s social networking website’s profile page to know more about you.  Maybe you have put some humorous pics in your profile or maybe you have entered wrong information (maybe just for fun) in your profile.  Your employer will be shocked to see all that and you will not be given the job offer.

Just think all of the technology is here to help you, not to become so dependent on it that when you do not have it, you can't live anymore. Clicking pictures of food before eating it, taking risky selfies just to get more likes, getting jealous because of less number of followers or likes, writing about your personal life in public, please stop all this, this makes you look pathetic and desperate.

Remember who you are, act accordingly.

To take credit or not ?

It's an odd topic and I am here to clear few things.
Whatever we do in life has a purpose, a motive, an outcome. That's why we do things right ?
But what about hobbies ? Dancing, Singing, Playing games etc. What do they do ?
You don't get paid for playing counter strike, nfs, candy crush. Then why do we do it ?

Its simple, because we like it, we love doing these things, it helps us and cheer us up.
Hobby can be anything at all, from serious research to staring at an empty wall. But whatever man, it makes us happy that's why we do it. Just like all these thing writing is also a hobby. but then people question you, you must have copied it from somewhere. I get accused many times for my blog, but people who say so are the ones who haven't read any of my post. Also they do not understand the concept of hobby. Someone did the same thing a while ago, but thanks to him he gave me the idea to write this one. He did one any of you would have done when you see my blog, its a work of years which I have put in it. Now, I also do not get paid for writing then why do I do it ? It's simple, first of all, I love to share whatever I learn with people, I believe if all of us were well educated then half of our problems would disappear. I don't do it for credit, that's what professional writers do. I write for myself, to express myself, to save my thoughts from being lost in this fast world. Our soldiers who fight to save us do not take credit, the secret service where unnamed people save our life. Credit is overrated (I say overrated a lot). When I woke up today, many people did not, So am I superior from them ? No. When I drove to work I did not hit any vehicle, Does that make me perfect driver ? No. Whatever we do, just remember there is someone out there who can do the same thing a lot better than you but the difference is he understands making a difference is more important than making an impression.

It's simple guys if you are doing it to impress others then you are a stupid a very stupid person. 
Remember guys there is a lot more than taking credit, for example, to live.

The key to success

There are a lot more than 6 billion people on our planet. But only few are successful and rest of us are trying hard to reach on the top. What's the difference between us and them ? Are they chosen ? Are they special ? Do they posses any kind of superpower ? I believe the answer to all these questions is NO.

So what makes them so different ? Well I am 23 years old, I have my own beliefs and I am just expressing myself here. But you will find the answer everywhere. Heard that story "Thirsty Crow" ?
I bet yes, what he wanted was water otherwise he would have died due to dehydration, So to be realistic he wanted to live and the thing that he needed the most at that point of time was water. It's a bird yet somehow in the story it figures out Archimedes' principle. It's just a bird and we were made believe in school that the birds figures out the law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.

It's just a story, there's no proof that such incident ever took place. We can say our ancestors used this story to teach us an important lesson. What's your takeaway from this story ? Intelligence ? Hardwork ? Well actually No. It's all about initiative, the bird had to do something, the bird initiated something. We all have many many ideas, but how many of them we actually implement ? The first and very basic step is to take initiative, no matter how big or small, just do something towards the thing you want to achieve.

You like that girl ?  Ask her out.
You scared of the dark ? Go in the dark.
You have problems ?  Do the RCA.

You want to achieve success ?
Think it through, generate ideas, run theory, then choose one idea and implement it.
Success, money are kinda big deals, so your initiative should be big to.
The bird needed water when he was thirsty.
We also need water, if we are thirsty we can figure out ways to drink water.
Let's change the basic idea, we are not thirsty, we need water like once twice a day to survive.
But we need to breathe every time, you don't breathe you don't live.

When you will feel the urge to get success like you do to breathe.
My friend you will realize your vision and you will become a successful person at that very moment.
