Favourite movie scenes to break the shackles off the boredom life


Well im not a movie buff to watch every potboiler kinda movies as you'd know by now. But I have some clear favourites that i've managed to stumble upon by chance.

Having said that there are some few moments that I like in most of the films that i watch quite ofttimes. May be thatz how i'd like to summarize the movie for it all depicts or rather limns some kind of a picture or fragments of life in its own way. 

Some to motivate my spirits when im down (like Shawshank Redemption, Kungfu panda, The pursuit of happiness), SOme humble moments that makes us forget all the worldly traits (Cast away, motorcycle diaries,  Blind side, Forrest GUmp, Notebook, Saving private ryan), SOme moments  moments from some intriguing movies for inquisitive moments (A beautiful mind, WallE) , some irking moments got to be pacified with some nonchalant moments from some movies or rather to brake the shackles out of vetti life (Dil chachta hai, Chennai 28, Office Space) . SOme to relish and revel the sheer beauty or performance and Some to sober up my pensive mood (like when you are almost tipped off whining) like Enchanted. And ofcourse some loveable movies with some serious moments like titanic, a walk to remember, the notebook etc.,

I guess i could compile all those moments of gold into one big pile or rather make a movie out of it :) 

Below are such moments from some of the films notwithstanding the following. 

The Notebook

This is where Noah would take allie (Rachel Mcadams) for a ride and would give her a packet to feed the swans and she'd just ask him with that smile "What are they all doing here ?". The whole seen just as she says is like a dream (just around a minute). How can you not love her. I really love this scene to have watched over number of times (i've become her fan since then and following her movies till sherlock holmes :))

Shawshank Redemption


The whole move is somewhat close to me for i've leant every word uttered by red (Morgan Freeman). This is how i feel any ideal cast should be. neatly measured without overdoing anything

Some moments really stand-out like playing the Mozart opera song (The Marriage of Figaro) sung by two italian ladies and the moment is best explained through freeman's character red's words HD Video of the scene

"I have no idea to this day what those|two Italian ladies were singing about.
Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid.
I like to think it was something|so beautiful...it can't be expressed in words...
...and makes your heart ache|because of it.
I tell you, those voices soared... higher and farther than anybody|in a gray place dares to dream.
It was like a beautiful bird|flapped into our drab cage...and made those walls dissolve away.
And for the briefest of moments... every last man at Shawshank|felt free. "

Rocky Balboa IV

When he think of advising his son 

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!Video of the scene from the movie

Pursuit of Happiness

Protect your dreams. Its such a scene that touches you way down to you your heart straight away. and it needs no prelude. Just wonderul words of motivation



I guess that most of us kind of feel down sometimes or rather low in spirits for whatever be the reason and it is natural... but it is good to know what makes us feel better and to believe in ourselves - a special movie, a song, writing or reading a book or a blog. 

Now that i've told you a bit about my fav scenes in the movies, hang-on we'll see about the rest in due course.

Driving readers crazy.. Selling dreams of nought...

Just a funny cartoon on the Business Evangelist - Guy Kawasaki from  bradfitzpatrick

Bucket Sandhi

Sorry for the caste specific post. This is something i just wanted to tell ya all.... Im sure no one would feel offended with this. If you find it boring, pl. ignore...

Hey guyz.. 

I know i ain't supposed to b here preaching malice... But just being curious to know if there are others doing bucket sandhi as well...

While I very much wanted to do the Sandhi everyday, the inability of mine added with unavailability of time had forced me to frustration as i found it hard to cope with my otherwise pandemonistic and lazy lifestyle.

Which is when the inventor in me thought about finding a new alternative... 

With credit to my TRIZ skill i found it very convenient to alter the traditional method of doing it in the banks of the river. (there used to be river running around every city, coroporation, village and harmitages those days) which is why brahmins those days were doing it while taking bath.

I was like why not we do it while bathing too... That is when it all started 'The Bucket Sandhi'.... I've been doing it for years now.. I donno if it really violates any of the sacred verses that we insipidly recite day and again. To which i think I do not hold any curses for culpable damage to...

On the other hand i do it seriously without hesistance of any kind twice a day (madhyaniham - never tried that..). I've been doing it for almost 5 yrs now...

Well to those perfectionists pl ignore me as yet another anomalies.... To those fellow Bucket Sandhi performers... Cheerz guyz.....

Surely You're joking Mr. Feynman


When I was at my graduate school, I must've read this book more than 10 times. It was that good.  Its now almost 5 years since I last read it, but I still remember some of the funny stuff that I read. It just leaves an everlasting impression in you comparing to others whose effects are ephemeral. He just leaves a mark on you without any seriousness and the way he does it is something better read than me saying it.... 

  • What is great about Richard Feynman is his refusal to take anything too seriously. Rather, he refused to take anything too seriously because he was damn serious. When you think of it, only people who are not really serious appear to be serious. Seriousness in appearance is different from seriousness in essence. While its hilarious in one side, its also serious on the other side.

  • A staff (also a good friend of mine) at that time used to do tutor for students who wanted to do well in other competitive entrance exams. She used to make the students read excerpts from Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman. She said the pupil liked the chapter on how to become friendly with women. Now, that was funny, with Richard Feynman trying out the instructions of the bar master, almost failing, but then sticking to his gun, and finally getting the reward. If you scratch your head and don't know what it is all about as you read this blog, then you should definitely read this book. I assure you that you would be laughing like mad before long.

  • Here is a review of the same it toolbox i thought it'd be better if you read a review than my usual musings....

    Mood: Lack of sleep 

        There is a question, somewhere deep in my head: Is it possible that Leonardo da Vinci has bored just once per whole civilization? Is there truely no place nowadays for real "renaissance person", who has some achievement in more than two,three disciplines? The book is the answer for the question: definitely there is at least one such a person - Mr. Feynman.

          The book describes the incredible life of open-minded person, who can during one life do the following:
          • learn to repair radio as a thirtenn years old child
          • how to learnd italian quickly :D
          • take a part in Manhattan project (atom bomb) - surprisngly he writes the most about how the life in Los Alamos looked like, than about his real work. It seemes like he worked more in nearby factory in Oak Ridge, than in Los Alamos ;)
          • open locker, wardrobes and safes (I need to remember 25-0-25 and 50-25-50)
          • how to make impression on women in bars (do not pay for them silly)
          • how to earn money in Las Vegas
          • how to be friend of big fish in Las Vegas
          • try to repair Brazilian schollar system
          • play on pandeiro and frigideira (whatever it is) and took a part in Carnival celebration as the samba school member. Hotel boy screaming - "O PROFESSOR!"
          • learn why you should not earn too much
          • paint
          • why to be in touch with people from other disciplines and not to go for the interdisciplinar conferences discussing general topics
          • get Nobel prize (it sounded like the ceremony was the worest challenge)go through the hell of scroing US school books
          • how to play hald-professionaly on the drum for the ballet

                                      So when you read the list there may be the following feelings in your head.
                                      Did he really do these things? Yes.
                                      Is he a megaloman? A little.
                                        Why I hear the surname for the first time? I was surprised as well :)
                                          As you can see making the extract from the book, which is the extract from such a rich life, like the Feymann's one, gives the odd results. Nevertheless what was the most inspring in this all - Feynman has always very pratical approach and even when he speaks about VERY complicated things (including philosophy), everything is served in straightforward way (without a single formula).
                                            You can not be the professor Mr. Feynman.
                                              Why?

                                                Because I understand everything what you are saying.

                                                  On the other hand the book is simply SMART. It contains plenty of tips&tricks including not only "uncommon integration" (how you can gain from possesing the other toolkit), but also "how to cut massive number of string beans" or "how to deal wit a women". What is truely inspring it desribes the things AS-THEY-ARE and not with rounded words, so you can find even once a crossword on f, when he speaks about the government :D

                                                    He was also the one, who reminded me that if you want to achieve something in long term, you need to be honest in front of yourself and when you present the results of your work you must present ups and downs.
                                                      And at least, but not at last - the book is hilarious, so you enjoy reading it. It will be definitely well spent 11$.
                                                        Score: 6/6 (very good)

                                                        Now i'll give you another opportunity to read if you feel its not worth spending....
                                                        Here is a link for the same as PDF i request you guys to read this for serious inspiration - Mr. Feynman's way...
                                                        Surely You'Re Joking_Mr Feynman.pdf

                                                        Same Object, Different perceptions!!

                                                        When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day.

                                                        I was convinced that "I" was right and "he" was wrong - and he was just as convinced that "I" was wrong and "he" was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.

                                                        In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered.

                                                        I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.

                                                        The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black.

                                                        My teacher taught me a very important lesson learned that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective.

                                                        Similarly in life, there will be many times a situation ,where you think its not good but for others it might be. And sometimes you think this is good but actually it will not be. We tend to make biased decisions just based on one direction with short term gains but we need to think a lot from all perspective. Its better to have short term loss and long term benefits than short term gains and long term misery.

                                                        Each time we end up in an argument , what is important to us? To understand the situation by considering other person’s perception also? Or just winning the argument? Now you have to think on your own!!

                                                        Beyond Buisness

                                                        What is recession?
                                                        This story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs.
                                                        He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and sold more. He recruited more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father.
                                                        Then something strange happened.
                                                        The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
                                                        The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his Hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly and so did the profit. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right”. “We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
                                                        Moral of the Story: It’s all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think.

                                                        Thursday, January 29, 2009

                                                        Defenition of Excellence...

                                                        A wonderful story with a moral.... Nice to read...

                                                        A man once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage." The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked. "There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?" The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked.

                                                        The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

                                                        The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside.


                                                        "Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and excellence"

                                                        Tuesday, January 27, 2009

                                                        A Small Story - but a nice moral

                                                        Got this forwarded from someone.... Just thought its worth sharing...

                                                        A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.

                                                        The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

                                                        That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

                                                        Moral of the story: If you don’t give your hundred percent in a relationship, you’ll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

                                                        Don't take the garbage and spread it to other people

                                                        Here is a short but meaningful story that Karthik had sent me. Hope it would brighten up ur day as well...

                                                        One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'

                                                        This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

                                                        Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

                                                        The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so... 'Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.' Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

                                                        Friday, December 05, 2008

                                                        18 Reasons Why.... One must not marry a blogger.

                                                        I was highly amused when friend of mine brought up this topic over coffee. “So what are the reasons you think?”, I asked him. It was so amusing to hear the first few that quickly I had to grab a pen and notepad and jot down every single reason he told me. So here goes the list from a man’s point of view. If you think he forgot to add something, feel free to add it in the comments section.

                                                        1. You’ll know she is pregnant through her blog.
                                                        2. Whether you fart, scratch, snore, or forget the anniversary, it is all up there.
                                                        3. Before you get to know, the whole world will get to know that she is having trouble with her mother in law.
                                                        4. She will rant about how certain other blogs get more number of comments than she does though they write crap, and you are supposed to be sympathetic.
                                                        5. Should the template be Minima stretch or Minima lefty stretch? Template number 587 or 498? Tic Tac blue or stretch denim template? Certainly your decision making skills could be put to better use.
                                                        6. She claims that blogging is the only way of venting frustrations and letting out the steam whenever she is upset with someone. Including you.
                                                        7. You don’t want to live fearing the rest of your life that every morning you wake up, you’ll read a post starting “My husband is a…….”, with a hundred comments starting “Oh how could he?”, “He should…..” and “He should not……”.
                                                        8. You wake up from a nightmare that your wife has just made your darkest secret public, till you realize it wasn’t a nightmare. It was reality.
                                                        9. Every little nice thing you do for her will be up there on the blog. Every little mean thing you do to her will also be there up on her blog.
                                                        10. You are accountable for every female who comments on your blog, but you are not supposed to ask her about the males who leave comments on her blogs, because that makes you a suspicious, overtly jealous and possessive pig.
                                                        11. You are supposed to treat her out every time a blog of hers gets featured on DesiPundit or Blogbharti.
                                                        12. You are not supposed to take sides during heated blog discussions aka feline blog fights. You don’t have an opinion. You are her husband. You are to take her side. Always.
                                                        13. You would rather stay at home playing PSPs on the weekend than accompany her as the faithful puppy to be showed off at the local monthly blog meets.
                                                        14. Sometimes, the only way you can understand what’s up on her mind and why is she acting weird is by reading her blog. To discover that she was just having her periods.
                                                        15. Again and again, you will be given kasams to not read certain blog posts of hers. The whole world can know about it while it has to be a secret from you. And if you don’t, you are not giving her space or respecting her privacy.
                                                        16. You are in the middle of a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid game at your best buddy’s place when you get an SOS call from a common philanthropist friend- “Run home. You just forgot your wife’s birthday and it’s all over there on her blog”
                                                        17. You are not supposed to get jealous when you read about how she met her college crush and had coffee with him when you read it in her blog.
                                                        18. The world wasn’t supposed to know that you sleep in your superman underwear.

                                                        Unusual request - Lord Ram's comments on RAM SETU

                                                        Lord Ram's comments on RAM SETU It has been copied from one community of orkut, i liked it so i m posting it here...

                                                        Lord Ram's comments on RAM SETU
                                                        The Lord Shree Shree Ramachandra Prabhu surveyed the Ram Setu and said"Hanuman, how diligently and strenuously you and your vanara sena had builtthis bridge several centuries back. It is remarkable that it has withstoodthe ravages of the climatic and geographical changes over centuries. It isindeed an amazing feat especially considering the fact that a bridge atHyderabad built by Gammon using latest technology collapsed the other dayeven before they could stick the posters on its pillars."

                                                        Hanuman with all humility spoke "Jai Sri Ram, it is all because of yourgrace. We just scribbled your name on the bricks and threw them in the seaand they held. No steel from TISCON or cement from Ambuja or ACC was everused. But Lord, why rake up the old issue now."

                                                        Ram spoke "Well, Hanuman some people down there want to demolish the bridgeand construct a canal. The contract involves lot of money and lot of moneywill be made. They will make money on demolition and make more money onconstruction. "

                                                        Hanuman humbly bowed down and said "Why not we go down and present ourcase"

                                                        Ram said "Times have changed since we were down there. They will ask us tosubmit age proof and we don't have either a birth certificate or schoolleaving certificate. We traveled mainly on foot and some times in bullockcarts and so we don't have a driving license either. As far as the addressproof is concerned the fact that I was born at Ayodhya is itself underlitigation for over half a century, If I go in a traditional attire withbow and arrow, the ordinary folks may recognize me but Arjun Singh may takeme to be some tribal and, at the most, offer a seat at IIT under thereserved category. Also, a God cannot walk in dressed in a three-piece suitand announce his arrival. It would make even the devotees suspicious. So itis dilemma so to say."

                                                        "I can vouch for you by saying that I personally built the bridge."

                                                        "My dear, Anjani putra, it will not work. They will ask you to produce thelay-out plan, the project details, including financial outlay and how theproject cost was met and the completion certificate. Nothing is acceptedwithout documentary evidence in India. You may cough but unless a doctorcertifies it, you have no cough. A pensioner may present himself personallybut the authorities do not take it as proof. He has to produce alife-certificate to prove that he is alive. It is that complicated."

                                                        "Lord can't understand these historians. Over the years you have givendarshan once every hundred years to saints like Surdas, Tulsidas, SaintThyagaraja, Jayadeva, Bhadrachala Ramdas and even Sant Tukaram and stillthey disbelieve your existence and say Ramayana is a myth. The only option,I see, is to re-enact Ramayana on earth and set the government recordsstraight once for all."

                                                        Lord smiled "It isn't that easy today. Ravan is apprehensive that he maylook like a saint in front of Karunanidhi. I also spoke to his mamaMareecha, who appeared as a golden deer to tempt Sita maiyya when I was inthe forest and he said that he won't take a chance of stepping on earth aslong as Salman Khan is around."

                                                        Wonderful story...read till the end (Kindly dont avoid)

                                                        An wonderful story i got through the chain of mails... I think we all have something to learn form this....
                                                        -----------------

                                                        Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party,

                                                        Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook.

                                                        With Rs.1000 deposit amount.

                                                        Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage

                                                        life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new

                                                        life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The

                                                        more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the

                                                        first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When you look back

                                                        after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

                                                        Monica shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it

                                                        was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be

                                                        made.

                                                        This was what they did after certain time:

                                                        - 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

                                                        - 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica

                                                        - 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

                                                        - 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant

                                                        - 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

                                                        ..... and so on...

                                                        However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial

                                                        things.They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the

                                                        most nasty people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical

                                                        nowadays, huh?

                                                        One day Monica talked to her Mother:

                                                        'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how

                                                        I decided to marry this guy!!!'

                                                        Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you

                                                        really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the

                                                        saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and

                                                        spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

                                                        Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue

                                                        and planning to cancel the account.

                                                        While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked,

                                                        and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and

                                                        happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She

                                                        left and went home.

                                                        When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend

                                                        the money before getting divorce.

                                                        The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new

                                                        deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I

                                                        notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness

                                                        you've brought me.'

                                                        They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

                                                        Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not

                                                        ask.I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru

                                                        all the good years in their life.

                                                        "When you fall, in any way,

                                                        Don't see the place where you fell, Instead see the place from where you

                                                        slipped.

                                                        Life is about correcting mistakes!"

                                                        If you can meet with Triumph & Disaster
                                                        And treat those two imposters just the same
                                                        If you can fill the unforgetting minute
                                                        with 60 seconds of distance travelled
                                                        Yours is Earth and everything in it...
                                                        and whats more.. ??
                                                        You'll be a MAN my son, You'll be a man

                                                        dont worry about the people in your past;
                                                        There is a reason they didn't make it TO YOUR FUTURE

                                                        i was born genius but education ruined me

                                                        It breaks your heart to see one you love is happy with some else, but its more painful to know the one you love is more unhappier with you.

                                                        you cant stop what is coming

                                                        imperfection is beauty; madness is genius; its better to be absolutely riduculous than to be absolutely stupid

                                                        Im a NUT but i can SCREW well

                                                        Im so good at being bad

                                                        life isn't about finding yourself; life is about creating yourself

                                                        How to build Google like team


                                                        1. Teams size should be less than 5.

                                                        2. All leaders no followers.

                                                        3. Don’t hire spotless people, Look for spots in the people which matters the most.

                                                        4. Punish mediocre success and reward excellent failures.

                                                        5. Don’t award TOP 1% and create 99% people unhappy. Award TOP 99% and Fire rest 1%, create 100% happy employees.

                                                        6. Freedom to loose = Celebrate failures = Team which looses most wins on creativity.

                                                        7. Kill “Lick my ass” kinda managers.

                                                        8. Kill project meetings instead go for drink parties and fight over your creative opinion.

                                                        9. Don’t work on a project instead own project.

                                                        10. Bring design and creativity in all aspect of work.

                                                        11. Don’t work when your energies are low as your work requires the best times of the day.

                                                        12. Fire managers and buy Leaders.

                                                        13. Creativity is driven by stomach so don’t work with empty stomach instead eat best food you love.

                                                        14. Don’t earn money earn reputation.

                                                        15. First build the product than collect the requirement than do project planning than test it and if it sucks.

                                                        Repeat the above cycle.
