SS Rajamouli - Baahubali (1 & 2)- You need to be punished!!

How could you do all these injustice to us?




1. You showed us how shooting in India(Kerala and Andra Pradesh) can be done beautifully and technology can be used to its best!(except for 25 days in Bulgaria). (and we had assumed that nothing could surpass Avatar).

2.Be such a good story teller- and pause for almost 2 years before showing the world 'Why Kattappa killed Baahubali'?(probably the most searched question in the last 2 years).

3. Create characters so real- who remain with us even after the movie ends? Be it Amarendra Baahubali or Kattappa or Raajmata or Bhallal and his father or Avantika or Devasena (my personal favorite).

4. Dubbing in Hindi - (I leave out other languages). when we have a plethora of Dubbed movies, with pathetic dialog and songs..you came up with impeccable dialog-- Why? Who asked you to deviate from the set standards(read it as low std).

5. One scene and we thought you were getting over ambitious and would fail. But NO...that scene and the consequent ones looked beautiful! - You cheated us yet again!

6. You had a story and not just answer to the question- This is where we all felt stabbed! We thought you would tell us the reason behind why  'Kattappa Killed Baahubali' and would end it. But no!! You had a wonderful story that too with a message! A message for all the leaders - Expected Qualities of a leader, that blind trust is not good and of course communication is a must!

7. Devasena , Avantika and Raaj Mata- Women with 'Beauty,Brain and Courage'. Devasena as a mother , a wife and a fighter remains in ones mind. How and why did you create such strong characters? We are used to seeing heroines just in dance sequence.

8. Action Sequence - How could think of equating yourself to the likes of 'Gladiator' or '300'? But you did it wonderfully! Be it the Animals, the formations or the fights, everything was so real.

9. You had a dedicated team for 3 whole years? so dedicated that Prabhas readily postponed his marriage!! How could you be such a good leader? Your team actually went ahead and created a new scary language and named it Kiliki. (Heights of creativity guys).

10. It's not just a movie. It's an EPIC. You leave us wanting MORE. I can watch it again and again and still enjoy the awesomeness.
 You again cheated us by actually taking us to a different Era. Jai Mahishmati!

Finally --- I challenge you to make Scion of Ikshvaku and Sita: Warrior of Mithila. With Anushka as Sita and Prabhas as Rama (Can't think of any other names!!)

Hats off off to the Entire team of 'Baaaaaaaaaahubaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'...

Strategic marketing - Lessons from a Bhelpuri wala

Most of the time while getting back home I join a friend of mine who drops me at a metro station. In my second or third visit itself I noticed a bhelpuri wala. This man is not like other local market tapri wala. He was clean and seemed well organized.  He had 4 plastic covers, each containing onion , tomato, coriander and green chillies (all uncut). Highlight were the fresh lemons. He had papers folded like cones. A box with masala and a cover with loads of mixture. Like any office goer returning home, I too was slightly hungry for some munching. What better than bhel. I liked the way he customized my bhel by checking for the quantity of chilly and lemon. I liked it so much that I got one more for my sis. Thus began the love for bhel. One day it so happened that my husband was about to pick me up and I was waiting just next to the same bhel guy. I was an observer that day. In a span of 20 mins this guy served around 8 customers.  Interesting! I began talking to him(shhh......

Getting into a Child's shoe

Yesterday I had been to my cousin's place who has a 2 years old daughter. It's interesting to see the way the kid has grown. Every day she has a new thing to learn. Now like every 'proud' parent, my cousin started to play the 'tell me who is this' game with the kid. The kid answered patiently and happily coz every answer was followed with applauds. An hour later, we had a new visitor. The neighborhood aunty. She re-started the 'tell me who is this' game. And the kid continued answering with a smile. This made me get into a kids shoe and think of what he/she might be thinking at each age. Let me start with age Zero to 1 year. My parents hug and kiss me, I absolutely love it. I feel wanted. But why do they not talk properly? 'Mela thota baby thoyega,ghummi dayega ' . What the hell!! I do understand the language. Anywayz next comes the uncle next door, I was happy the first time he came and got me a gift. But was followed by a 'lu lu lu lu...

Tension- Do you think kids don't have any?

I was travelling in metro when a kid caught my attention. She was discussing about the 'tensions' in her life. I got interested. The kid was about 13 years old. Nicely dressed with a sweet demeanor. I started Evesdropping. What all could be the tensions of a teenager. She had a concern that internet at their home was slow, which reduced the pace of her project. Her rival would be submitting her project in a week's time. Next was that almost all her friends owned smart phones (she termed it as hi-fi :)), where as her parents never allowed her to play with their phones for more than an hour in a day. Next was about her upcoming birthday party. She wished to have a grand party and wanted to wear a short skirt. There were few more things. But I loved the way her mother handled it. She was all ears for her daughter and the kid felt happy about being heard. She was opening up. The mother never said No for any of the demands, instead she discussed on whys and whats. I was take...
