NH 10...why should you watch it?

So...I dont actually write a lot of movie reviews and understandably so...'coz rarely any movie leaves an indelible imprint on my mind. But today happened to be different day...when I watched the movie NH 10.

I would be running out of good adjectives...in my attempt to tell you, how great is this movie. What a brave decision by Anushka...to back a movie that focusses on themes so far considered untouchable by mainstream bollywood cinema. I agree, certain scenes will make you cringe in your seat and there is an overdose of blood and gore...but thats how life is in those areas. How can you refrain from the unpleasant truth...if you intend to portray the true picture of honor killings and present status of women in the backyards of Haryana...Gurgaon...etc. And Anushka has done an unbelievable job, when it comes to emoting the fear...the pain...the helplessness...and finally when she succeeds in killing all the villians...you cant help but feel euphoric for her...for all womankind. In life also, when one realises that you have nothing to lose, you get a strange courage and strength from some deep corner of your heart...and finally you succeed.

Personally speaking, I loved this movie and I feel each one of us should watch it...lots of learning here...Dont ever underestimate the strength and courage of a woman.

Happiness is….feeling liberated…

Till very recently, I was a firm believer in not filling the feedback surveys…any kind of survey. Be it employee satisfaction survey or car servicing feedback survey. I used to think, it’s a complete waste of time and organizations do it just for the heck of it, or to be on the right side of the law, as in keeping in mind the compliance perspective. So what is the status now, am I reformed? If yes, why and how did this change came about exactly? Yes yes, I know, you are dying to know…or maybe you hardly care…but any which way, my story needs to be told…read if you are interested…

A few months back, I wrote something in the qualitative segment of the employee satisfaction survey in my org. Cannot divulge what this “Something” is, because of obvious reasons. It was something that I felt very strongly about, and it was a key factor behind my aspiration to join companies like Google and Apple. I am almost 6 years old in my current company and I always felt, if I ever leave, then it would be because of this “Something”.

Imagine my surprise and delight, when I got to know, that my organization has taken a decision to bring in this “Something” with immediate effect. Today is the first day, when I am experiencing this “Something” and yes, I feel on top of the world.

Leadership in any organization defines the culture. Like a mother, does for her family. All of us, are inherently resistant to any kind of change. But if we open our minds and embrace change whole heartedly, then we would realize what we were missing earlier…

That’s it for now…let me cherish and enjoy the moment…

Happiness is….feeling liberated…
