In the middle - PramsPhotography#66

Many planes must have passed through this path that the pollution seemingly caused by them could be seen clearly through my flight's window.

I was amazed to see planes passing from above, below and next to our flight's path! The above pic was clicked when a flight passed underneath our flight barely a minute back! 

At some point I saw this from my flight's window and I wondered if there existed clouds above the clouds!

#2016 @Between Zurich and Mumbai

Role vs position!

One who wishes to execute the role that he or she is in, understands and performs the responsibilities pertaining to the given role. One who wishes to retain the position that he or she is in, performs the necessary actions to either continue in the same position or to jump to the next. While tasks to be performed to retain a position are person dependent, the responsibilities to be addressed to play any role are person independent. 

Organizations must encourage their workforce to play the respective roles rather than encouraging the position-game! At the end of the day, its not easy to replace anyone! However, replacing someone performing a given role is flexible compared to replacing a person settled in a position. Seeing this on a positive note, rotating people across multiple roles in an organization becomes simple and beneficial when the responsibilities of all the roles are defined and supportive processes are in place. And the same cannot be true when it comes to rotate people across different positions, who in turn must have set up their own people around!

#2016 @Zurich, Switzerland

Until the moment I stepped out of the plane in the Zurich international airport, Switzerland meant Roger Federer and Martina Hingis for me! Being a grand slam-tennis follower, I always wonder what must have been these players made with! Well, I could not obviously figure it out by being there in the airport for couple of hours, certainly I could feel the stress-free air! Most of the houses were identical and fields looked beautiful from up above! Especially loved watching those long trees!

#2016 @Panchghani-Mahabaleswar, India

Panchghani-Mahabaleswar is one of the must-go trip at least once in a life time. The Panchghani ghat welcomes us to the beautiful valleys around, irrespective of the season. If we go there in rainy season, the valleys could be perceived as if a green carpet was kept over them literally! One cannot forget the wonderful moments spent amidst the breathtakingly beautiful valley views.

Time changes a few things including the seasons. Seasons change a few things including the nature. The above two pictures were clicked from the same point during different seasons. The one above was clicked during a rainy season and the one below was clicked in the mid summer. In both the pictures the landscape looks beautiful in its own sense. 

Sankranti Festival!

'Sankranti' is the only festival day on which I get teary eyed, reminiscing those wonderful moments spent with family at our native place, #Dintenapadu, during my childhood and adulthood.

All of our family members have grown up now but have not grown apart. Credit largely goes to our grand parents, nannamma and tatayya.

I wish someone would do an "interstellar" and pull me into the 'Thesaract' of our ancestors' home!!!

Movie: Gauthamiputra Satakarni

This movie did not seem to me like a perfectionist-make. However, the grit with which this film had been made stole my heart!

Yet again, #Krish and his writing department did a wonderful job. A big applaud for them. Truly appreciate #Balakrishna for his choice of the script and his unique style of dialogue delivery. Felt great to watch the combination of Hemamalini garu and Shreya. It just happened at a right time for #Amaravathi.

For those who question about Sathavahanas and thier relation to the Telugu region, I read that the entire human population was once originated from a single location. You may do googling and get its GPS coordinates.

Back ground score and music could have been way better. More time could have been spent giving few extra touches to graphics and make-up. Well, it's a director's choice. Not everyone go behind perfection. Some stick back to story-telling.

A must watch for movie cum history lovers!!!

Movie: Khaidi No 150

I used to get gifted a '#ChiranjeeviCinema' show by my relatives in Guntur everytime I had visited them in my childhood. I never used to get bothered about its title, its story, its music and every stuff like that. I just used to enjoy his on screen presence.

I tried to do the same when I watched his come-back movie yesterday. I tried not to judge but to enjoy every bit. I must confess. I could not succeed. Credit to the knowledge/information I acquired post-childhood.

First is first. Thanks to A.R.Murugados for penning down the story and making its Tamil version. Except for the 'unnecessary​' Brahmanandam sequence and few 'added' dialogues, I could not see V.V.Vinayak's touch!

Chiru looked as graceful as ever, on screen. It was nothing less than a feast watching him after a decade! It felt as if he took no gap! Certain things do not change; so is the ease with which he dances still, pace changed though! Looking forward for few more films from him!

Heroins, I think, before fighting for good remuneration must fight for significant roles! Songs cannot be the answers!

Well, if you ever liked Chiru on screen, keep aside all reservations and watch this movie. Its #Story is it's #Hero.

Truth & Fact - Take Home #611

While a fact can be manipulated, truth cannot be touched. Fact in its place is the best proof; truth, the best witness!

Plan B - Take Home #610

Plan helps. Plan B rescues. Have an alternate plan always, no matter what! 

Decision - Take Home #609

Opinions are important. But decisions need to be respected. There is no point keep discussing the opinions, especially once a decision is taken in a team.
