My professional life is almost all there on Google.

Web...

Videos...

Whatever I do, the media scrutinizes. Lol. But I enjoy every bit of the attention. My clients have been my life from a very long time now. As far as my personal life goes, I hardly have any. And the little that is left of it is consumed by girlfriends ;-)

There are hardly any secrets I have. The only secrets I probably keep are those I have to... to protect the images of my clients or sometimes to protect my own. Lol.

As far as my work goes, I am a believer in glory. I want to leave a legacy in PR. I want to create trends in entertainment public relations. If I have already created some, I strive to make new ones all the time. Many call my passion for PR crazy. But I am like this only :):) Always been like this :):)

Let me tell you a dialogue from one of my favourite movies 'Troy'.

When the great Greek warrior Achilles is undecided about going for the war in ‘Troy’, this is what his mother tells him: “If you stay in Larissa, you will find peace. You will find a wonderful woman, and you will have sons and daughters, who will have children. And they'll all love you and remember your name. But when your children are dead, and their children after them, your name will be forgotten... If you go to Troy, glory will be yours. They will write stories about your victories for thousands of years! And the world will remember your name. But if you go to Troy, you will never come back... for your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. And I shall never see you again.”

Next morning Achilles leaves for Troy.

And just like Achilles left a legacy in battle, I want to leave my legacy in Bollywood public relations.

Mutual admiration society!

2009-06-09T18:36:00.008+05:30

My longest running client, writer-cum-director Vinta Nanda, is one of the sweetest. I call her a dream chaser. And she keeps complimenting me and credits me for many of her media achievements. I love 'mutual admiration society'... gee;-)

Yesterday, Vinta and producer Jeetendra Kumar hosted a grand party at D'Ultimate, Mumbai, in honour of Dr AK Agarwal, an eminent personality from New Delhi, having an NGO by the same name... 'Eminent'. He'll be making his foray into glitzy Bollywood now.

Alexandar the Great:

There is this story of Alexandar the Great, who had won a war, for which he was not even hopeful. While his troops were making merry, he just stood apart looking up at the sky thoughtfully. And when his general repeatedly reminded him to join the celebration, he replied that he can’t as he was busy thinking about the next war and how to win it.

“If they tell my story,

let them say I walked with giants.

Men rise and fall like the winter wheat,

but these names will never die.

Let them say, I lived in the times of Hector - tamer of horses;

let them say, I lived in the times of Achilles.”

You don’t do things right once in a while…

You do them right all the time."

“If creative people hesitate over the objective of their work, they could end up becoming the advertisement departments of their clients, making only made-to-order campaigns. At the same time, too often a brilliant campaign is lost because one has not been able to talk the language of the client. The run-up is as important as the delivery. But how often have mistakes been committed because proper research was not undertaken.”

Sunila Nagvekar, D.G.Ruparel College:

Troubles are like waves, at times big, at times small.

Few know how to tackle them, most not at all.

The small ones are routine, fizzling out like bubbles,

The big ones require patience and mettle,

While some, with a little fate are scuttles.

Occasionally, a giant one comes along,

Taking everyone in a throng;

All perish, but one,

And this sole survivor restarts, despite the pain,

Armed with an experience and a confidence gain,

To challenge them once again.

Sarosh Dastoor:

“If you want to impose the maximum mental irritation and anguish on others, simply ignore them. You might bug or bother them a little in the other ways, but if you want to really scar others emotionally and mentally, just ignore them completely… Though, unfortunately, these tactics never work for the long run. Big people are big because they do not carry grudges, resentments and subdued hatred. The psychiatrists’ offices are filled with little people, however, who are carrying grudges, animosities, jealousies and repressed angers… Be nicest to others when you feel least like it. Quite a challenge, but that is exactly what the big people were doing that made them big. They were being nicest to people when they were least expected to.”

The Road Not Taken. By Robert Frost:

2009-04-24T20:49:00.000+05:30

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

“Fortunately, I have been lucky never to have contacted this peculiarly Indian disease. As editor of Business India, Business World and several other publications, I often had to put in 14-15 hours a day. But I always made it a point to answer any letters, return telephone calls and keep up appointments, no matter how busy I may have been. And my experience has been that observing this business courtesy paid handsome dividends. They landed me some of my biggest stories and most valuable information – often in a roundabout manner.”

Haari baazi ko jeetna, jise aata hai,

Niklenge maidan mein, jis din hum jhoomke,

Dharti dolegi ye kadam choomke…

Nahin samjhe hai woh humein, toh kya jaata hai

Haari baazi ko jeetna humein aata hai...”
