Be 'Mindful' in career...

Image
It's been a while since I worte my last blog about a movie named - 'Chumbak'. Because generally I like to express myself only when I feel, I have to write, out of appreciation. Plus, during this time I was more focused on my career and shifts and turns I was taking in it. And hence I was 'too' busy. At least that's what I thought. But today I came across a blog, which made me rethink about the ways I am handling my career. Because sometimes you get too much immersed into something, so much so that you don't even realise about taking some time to rethink and reflect on your life. Especially your career.  But this particular blog helped me to realise the importance of handling of our career by using some simple techniques. Some techniques were known to me. And you might also be familiar with them. But I revisited them during this reading session and felt it's importance. Especially when I am trying new things,in my career in many ways. And this article do ...

चुंबक : प्रेक्षकपसंती खेचून घेणारा चित्रपट !!

Image
ही ब्लॉग पोस्ट लिहीत असताना, मराठी चित्रपटांनी कोविड काळातलं पुनरागमन दणक्यात केलं आहे. एवढं की, पावनखिंड या चित्रपटाने बॉक्स ऑफिसवर धुमाकूळ घातला आहे. इतकंच नव्हे तर महाराष्ट्राच्या बाहेर ही जवळपास सात ते आठ राज्यांत या सिनेमाचं प्रदर्शन होऊ घातलं आहे अस कळतं. एका अर्थाने सीमोल्लंघनच आहे ते ! त्याआधी आलेल्या पांघरूण, झिम्मा यांनीही जबरदस्त कामगिरी केली आहेच. मुळातच आशयघनता हा आपल्या मराठी चित्रपटांचा गाभा राहिला आहे. तो आजही तसाच टिकून आहे.तसेच आज त्यास अपेक्षित अशी लोकप्रियता आणि प्रसिद्धी ही मिळते आहे. अर्थात काळासोबत त्यात अनेक उत्तम गोष्टींची भर ही पडत गेली आहेच. त्यामुळे असे हे आशयघन चित्रपट आता राष्ट्रीय आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय पातळीवर ही मोठ्या प्रमाणात नावाजले जात आहेत.  याच मांदियाळीतील एक चित्रपट म्हणजे 'चुंबक' होय. लोकप्रिय गीतकार स्वानंद किरकिरे आणि उदयोन्मुख कलाकार साहिल जाधव यांच्या मध्यवर्ती भूमिका असलेला हा चित्रपट ! खरं तर या सिनेमाचा ट्रेलर मी बऱ्यापैकी आधी बघितला होता. पण आज बघू, उद्या बघू करून हा चित्रपट बघणं पुढे पुढे जात होतं. शेवटी एके दिवशी वेळ मिळाला आणि म्ह...

मला भेटलेली खास व्यक्तिमत्त्वं - ब्लॉग पहिला - राहुल आरेकर.

राहुल आरेकर. आपल्या पैकी अनेकांना परिचित अपरिचित असं नाव. अपरिचित या साठी कारण हा कोणी मोठा सेलिब्रिटी नाही. पण परिचित यासाठी कारण गेल्या नऊ वर्षांत याचे विचार कधी ना कधी तरी आपल्याला स्पर्शून गेलेले असतात. अगदी आपल्या न कळत. पण त्याचे विचार आपल्याला पटतात हे नक्की.  तो आम्हा मित्रांसोबत कीर्ती कॉलेजमध्ये शिकला. ही वेळ आपल्याकडे फेसबुक चा उदय होण्याची. आम्ही सगळे फेसबुकचा वापर वेळ घालवण्यासाठी करायचो. त्यावेळी या पठ्ठ्याच्या लक्षात आलं की फेसबुक चं पेज तयार करता येईल. इथपर्यंत आम्हीही विचार केला होता. पण कृती केली नाही. इथेच राहुलचं वेगळेपण अधोरेखित करावंसं वाटतं. या फेसबुक पेजच्या माध्यमांतून कमाई करता येते हे त्याने ओळखलं. आमच्या डोक्यात एवढा विचारही नव्हता. पण आज जेव्हा डिजिटल मार्केटिंग चं प्रस्थ एवढं वाढलेलं असताना त्याच्या दूरदृष्टीची कल्पना यावी.  पण त्याचा हा प्रवास काही सोप्पा नव्हता. त्याचं पहिलं पेज त्याला काही कारणांमुळे बंद करावं लागलं. अर्थात आपल्याकडे एक म्हण आहेच, "अपयश ही यशाची पहिली पायरी असते". कारण यामुळे खचून न जाता त्याने त्याचं दुसरं पेज सुरू केलं आणि म...

ये ब्लॉग शुरू करने से पहले आप सबका धन्यवाद. मेरे पहले हिंदी ब्लॉग की आप सबने बहोत सराहना की, उसके लिए मैं आपका आभारी हूं. आपके प्रोत्साहन से मुझे और ब्लॉग्स लिखने की उर्जा मिलती है.  आज कुछ एक विषय पर लिखने की बड़ी चाह थी, पर कुछ सूझ ही नहीं रहा था. पर लिखने की इच्छा तो प्रबल थी. अब क्या करे? सोच विचार किया. बाद मैं एक विचार आया. मैं कुछ ज्यादा ही सोच रहा हूँ. बाकि काम नहीं हो रहे. उससे अच्छा बाकि के काम निपटा देता हूँ. और वही किया. जब फिर बैठा, तब एक विचार आया, भाई ऐसा ही तो होता है. आप कई बार किसी चीज को लेकर हट पकड़ कर बैठ जाते हैं. वो काम तो होता नहीं. या फिर हो भी जाए तो बहोत समय बर्बाद हो जाता है. बल्कि बाकीके काम भी रुक जाते हैं. उससे अच्छा दुसरे काम करते रहो, ये काम करने का नया रस्ता मिल ही जाता है. और वही आज का विषय बन गया.   इस बात पर आप ने भी गौर किया होगा. कई बार, हम किसी चीज के पीछे रट लगाये पड जाते है. हमैं विश्वास होता है, की ऐसे करेंगे तो कामयाबी जरुर हासिल होगी. और बहुत बार यह सच भी होता है. आखिरकार कोशिश करने वाले की हार नहीं होती. पर उसी समय ये भी जान लेन...

करोना काल की छह सिंखे (मेरा पहला हिंदी ब्लॉग)

Image
नमस्कार. मैंने आज तक मराठी और इंग्लिश में ब्लॉग्स लिखे हैं. जो मन में आता गया, वह आपको बताता गया. आपने भी, अभी अभी तक, मुझे जितना प्रोत्साहन दिया, उसके लिए मैं आपका कृतज्ञ हूं. आपका यह प्यार हमेशा बना रहे यही इच्छा है और आगे भी रहेगी. फ़िलहाल के दिनों मैं, हम सब ने बहोत सारी अद्भुत और अनाकलनीय परिस्थितियों का सामना किया है. अद्भुत इसीलिए क्यूंकि इन परिस्थितियों ने हमें बहोत सारी चीजो पर फेरविचार करना सिखाया, हमे हमसे ही नए से रूबरू कराया हैं. और अनाकलनीय इसीलिए क्योंकि , ऐसी परिस्थितियों का विचार हमने सिर्फ होलीवूड की फिल्मों को देखते हुए ही किया था. सुनसान शेहेर, एकसे बढ़कर एक आपत्तियां और उसमे फंसे बेचारे हम. करोना का कहर पुरे विश्व मैं पिछले साल के अंतसे ही शुरू हो गया था. तभी ऐसा लगा न था, की ये वायरस पूरी मनुष्य जाती को घुटने पे बैठने के लिए मजबूर कर देगा. शुरुवात हुई थी सिर्फ २१ दिन के लॉकडाउन के साथ. जो आज तक कुछ हद तक हमारी सरकारों ने हटा दिया है. कई लाखों लोग केवल भारत वर्ष मैं इससे बीमार पड़े हैं. अच्छी बात ये हैं की मृत्युदर बहोत ही कम होने के कारन, मृत्युसंख्या कम रही है. पर ह...

How to be less ignorant ?

It's been while since I wrote my last blog. It's a pleasure to write which I was missing out. But was not getting a topic to talk about. And if you talk or write something unless you deeply feel it, it's waste of time and energy. It is like taking the other person for granted. Taking someone or something for granted is one of the biggest mistake we make. By taking things for granted we just be ignorant. Overlook the details. And many a times we find roots of our failures, defeats in our ignorance. This ignorance can take you from riches to rags, success to failure. Can divert your mind to distraction when actually you are supposed to focus. And I am sure, we all must have realized this one point or the other. Our feeling of envy, insecurity and regret comes out of this habit . But then how to overcome it ? How to be less ignorant that earlier and keep our ego in check. There could be multiple ways. And I am not an expert. I am just a simple person like you. But what ...

SELF MOTIVATION

Image
Self motivation is an integral part of everyone's life. And especially during tough times. Self Motivation works as a fuel, which keeps our life's engine running. Now a days getting motivated, is a matter of few clicks. Just log in to your favorite social media space. Type Inspirational quotes/videos. And BOOM !!! You are overloaded with many social media pages. We have enough fuel to keep us going ahead in life. But still, we need it again and again to refuel ourselves. As if we are running short? Why so ? In my opinion, need of motivation arises from within. Hence it shall be fulfilled from within.  The one who seeks motivation, mostly find themselves entangled in emotions. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, low morale, insecurity. And these emotions take down the energy level to the lowest point. To fight back these emotions, one must need to energize oneself from within. And how could that be done? The answer lies in your own memories. Positive and Strong memories of ...

C.H.A.N.G.E.

We all are on social media. And one of the common factor we have in ourselves is motivational pages we follow. And to be honest one way or the other they do motivate us. Especially quotes from celebs. If we observe, one of the key component they focus is on CHANGE and why it is so important. And we all do agree that change is inevitable. And actually some of them brings out the best out of ourselves. And we do accept the changes. But not all the time. Many a times our reasons are valid. But many a time we oppose the changes because we find it hard to cope up with the change. Many a times we find it difficult to digest the changes we are facing. But the fact remains intact. If we accept the changes sooner, the process of transformation becomes easy. While opposing the changes, lead to lot of hurdles.  But then what does change stands for and what kind of differences it make in our life ? I guess the answer is hidden in the word itself.

Thank You Note for you all !!!

Less than 30 hours are left for us to welcome the upcoming new year of 2019 while I'm writing this post. The whole year was such an amazing journey for me on personal and professional level. I have learned so many things from all those surrounding me. Not only from circumstance but also from people. But one of the main medium to learn was, is and will be for a long time is my Blog. ViK's Views. When I restarted writing I never imagined such a great success. Of course I am not a professional blogger so the success is limited. But for me it's huge. And credit goes to all of you.

Registering your feedback without any hesitation. And of course continuous appreciation through your whatsapp, facebook, insta comments. Your support and belief in me has lead me this far in blo...

ACCEPT YOUR THOUGHTS FIRST !!!!

Image
YES ! You read it right. The title is telling you to accept your thoughts first. Yes. You. Because most of the time you can hear your thoughts but you are not listening to them. Rather we all are doing this for years. Because we are wired to get influenced by our surroundings. We are wired to get affected by others around us. We are wired that way. And many a times it creates confusion. In today's information overload that confusion has become Chaos.  And in this chaos we are losing ourselves. We are being influenced by the information. We are being influenced by the data. And we are being influenced by the competition the huge data or information has created for us.  And that has lead us to a point where we are losing our grip on ourselves. And that is where we are losing our thoughts. We are becoming so cautious about being in the race all the time. Otherwise we think we may get out of the race. We are becoming so cautious that we need to be trendy. Otherwise we...

LEARN, ADAPT, MAKE MISTAKES & RECTIFY !!!

Image
Life is about growing ourselves and if possibles others around us also. But the main motto is to grow no matter what situation you are in. But then the question is how to do it?  Answer is as simple as this. LEARN, ADAPT, MAKE MISTAKES AND REPEAT the process. Learning: At this stage, we must observe the things. They could be our surroundings, situations, problems, people and any other things under the sun. These observation lead us to learn new things. Learning new things may result into deleting old thoughts, habits, mindsets etc. Could be partially, could be fully !!! Adapt: At this stage one must use his/her learning practically. And when I say use it means adapt, adjust to the situation. In other words, mould yourself according to your findings of observations you made. Make Mistakes: No one. I mean no one wants to make mistakes. But we all agree to one thing, that is we always end up making mistakes all the time. And to be honest mistakes are good. First r...

EMPOWER YOURSELF... WITHIN YOU !!!

Image
Every weekend like regular Indian family we were watching reality shows. While talking to my parents between the commercials I came across one thing. They were comparing two shows anchors. One of them is their favorite and other one is not. The reason they gave me was very interesting, and that clicked today's topic. Their reason was one of the anchor is not doing his job with full potential. In other words his words, body language lacks compassion. Because he's not doing it from within. We could see that he is nervous, less confident while interacting even though he's been anchoring for so many episodes. And the other one was totally reverse. Relaxed, confident, friendly. This is generally what we observe about people on daily basis especially when we are working men/women. Because we come across many people. But the question is why does people show signs of nervousness, lack of confidence etc. Or in simple words, why couldn't people achieve what they are supposed...

GRATITUDE... FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE

Image
You must have noticed that many a times I start my blogs with saying Thank You. Some like it. Some may say, please get it on point quickly. Jokes apart, but I do have this practice of feeling the gratitude.And not only feeling but also has a  HABIT  to express it more often. Now, why do I have this habit of expressing my gratitude. The answer is very simple. The act of expressing your gratitude attracts many such situations where you feel good. This happens because showing gratitude means you are thankful for the moment, people, food or anything you have exprienced. This feeling actually sends a positive vibe through your act. Those who believe in positive vibes, generally say thank you more often. Because they are aware of the fact that, being thankful towards something attracts more of such situations again in our life. Gratitude plays very important role in our life. Gratitude works as a magnet which attracts happy, positive situations. Which results into we as ...

MY POINT OF VIEW ON...VIEW POINTS

Image
Hi everyone. Your comments are making my thinking process and writing activity better and better, day by day. I am grateful for that. A BIG THANK YOU. Your feedback are very valuable. One of the feedback came from my college friend and our class representative Karan Chaudhari. And that suggestion is our today’s topic. View Points. We all are unique in certain ways. So does our view points. And they do reflect our personality to others. As you can see, the above image can clarify what I wants to say. They both have right points from their perspectives. But still, it seems that they are having some funny confusion over who is right. In other way we can say that they both are judging each others through their respective point of views. Hence we can say that this is general situation for all of us. Where we find ourselves having difference of opinions which may be true on their separate grounds with explanations. But still we have them. Those who are mature enough and are aware about ...

GOOD, BETTER AND THE BEST...

Image
Hello. Wassup !! Your support to my blogs is great !! Right now I am working on a new concept for my blog, "Guest Writers". Will come up with details very soon. Now let us begin with the new topic for now. In the past, people used to say that "Good things comes to those who wait." Now a days people says that "Better things comes to those who don't wait and go get it." I respect both the views. Because both of them reflects the mindsets of the people from different era. And we all change our habits, thinking process as per the status quo changes.  Therefore I strongly believe that both the statements should be merged together to have a best outcome of any situation. Let us take an example of our parents. If you listen to them carefully, you will realize that sometimes they regret some things from the past because of two major reasons. First, for rushing to get the things done. Second, waiting too long to receive something.  And now at t...

A YEAR IN NMITD (Navinchandra Mehta Institute of Technology and Development)

Image
In a day or two, we MMS 17-19 batch will complete our one year in NMITD. Exactly a year ago on 1st August we entered into this institute which eventually became our second home. The whole year was a great journey. NMITD has helped me to transform myself into a smart professional from just a clever student. Every one in our institute was part of this transformation and hence has some contributed majoritily in my success. Starting from our interaction with our seniors at Induction. Thanks to  Prafulla, Bhushan, Sayli, Aboli, Makarand, Aishwarya and many other seniors. Their warm welcome in first week itself made us feel comfortable. And I truly believe that was the crucial point which laid down a solid foundation.  Afterwords, our bonding with seniors grew so much that we always felt they are our friends rather than they are our seniors. We also had rapport building with faculties from day one. Faculties were and are very understanding. They helped us to groom oursel...

ONE STEP AT A TIME...

Image
Hi everyone. Today while coming back to home I was talking to my friend, Karan Chaudhari. We were discussing many things. But on some points we had some different ideas. But on one point we mutually agreed. And that was, "Success does not come overnight.". It comes after a journey that begins with a motive and goes on with the experiences, hardship, good-bad relationships and many other things. And that requires time. And hence we can say that success does come ONE STEP AT A TIME. As we all can agree upon, success doesn't come overnight. Sometimes we feel some people has got it overnight. But it is not that case. Because the behind the scene tells you a different story. For quite a long time one images circulates on Social media. Which actually reflects our today's discussion topic. That image is as follows: The picture speaks for itself. So no need to explain. Right. But we all can agree that the iceberg tip is the only thing we all watch. Including me. I am n...

12 LESSONS LEARNED FROM MY 3 FAV CELEBS

Image
Hello everyone. Thank you so much for being my consistent readers. I consider learning is a a lifelong process. I am sure, you are also a lifelong learners of life.  Being a learner means you learn from people around you, people known-unknown to you, from situations and from every aspect life has to offer.  But most importantly, we follow our favorite celebs regularly. I follow many celebs, but out of these I have tremendous respect for the trio below. They have one thing in common, they have journeyed from bottom to the top.  From being an Austrian bodybuilder to a governor of USA states and many more accomplishments.From writing a story and refusing to sell it for money to becoming an iconic figure in Hollywood. From having $7 to becoming highest paid actors of Hollywood movies.   I am sure, you also will appreciate their contribution.  Arnold Schwarzenegger: We all know the name and its fame. But still this man says he is not self-made. Can you believe i...

RESPONSIBLE MINDSET

Image
HI ! My today’s topic is about our mindset. My post “HABIT” talked about how important habits are to make you, a successful person. But how do they transform you into successful person from a failure one? Simple they change your mindset and to be precise, a Responsible Mindset. Now what is this Responsible mindset? From my view point it is about two things:  First, being aware about your rights and accepting them.  Second, being aware of your duties/responsibilities and accepting them. Generally people pick up the first one very quickly. As it is very beneficial to them. But they try to avoid the later one. Obviously, who wants bear the responsibility ? Success = Accepting ( Rights + Responsibilities ) But let me tell you one thing. You take any successful person. Go through their lives. Analyze their life path. And you will realize that they started their journey of success, once they became more responsible and started accepting their duties. Till the time you just accept ...
