“Learning can be done in an infinite number of ways” --- I’m pretty much sure that you are going to agree with me on this assertion. Each and every phase of our life, every action teaches us something. So, on that very basis, today I’m sharing my learning from the Indian-Crime-Dramatic-Suspense-Thriller show - ‘SACRED GAMES – Season 1’. The show has already become a very huge hit among the global audience. The way it is portrayed on the small screen of Netflix, the way characters have played their role is brilliant. They all have justified their skills and task of entertaining us to the fullest.

The show is based on the novel of the same name published in 2006 by Vikram Chandra. The whole season 1 is divided into 8 episodes of approx. 50-55 minutes each. It is directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane and it is produced under the banner of Phantom Films.

It all started when Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) receives an anonymous call from the Gangster, Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) who always remains filled with a fiery storm, informing Sartaj about the imminent doom at Mumbai in 25 days and tells him to save the city from this doom. Amidst the chaos, trappings of the corrupt underworld are revealed by the police officer Sartaj Singh and in the background; it showcases the rise of the Ganesh Gaitonde in the Mumbai’s Underworld.

Amidst all the chaotic scenes, the characters enacted by everyone gave valuable life lessons also that I have learned by watching this crime thriller. I felt like sharing them with all of you.

So, let me impart you the life lessons from Sacred Games that you also can apply in order to improve the quality of your life-
  1. “If you know that you can do it on your own, go and do it. Never ask for the referral, endorsement or help” ---  Sartaj always knows right from the word go that he can handle and investigate on the case without the backing of his colleagues and his boss who always attempted to discourage him by showing that he is not worthy enough. In the end, he proved everyone wrong and also manages to win the confidence and the support of his same boss and colleagues.
  2. “If you want to achieve anything in life, develop the guts to do anything and everything to achieve it” --- Gaitonde got fall in love with the Kukkoo when he first saw her, but Kukkoo was with the other gang leaders. Gaitonde was a normal man back then, but he challenged the leader that he will crush him and want Kukkoo as the prize. He managed to beat him by hook and crook and won the Kukkoo and her love.
  3. "Be Relentless, Be Restless, Be a Leader” --- Sacred Games showcase a story of a normal guy who saw the most difficult times in his life right from his childhood. Gaitonde builds his own empire of a gangster in Mumbai all on his own and leads his troops with full passion. Each and every step he took was to achieve his goal of ruling the Mumbai one day. He achieved it superbly…!!!
  4. “Behind every successful man, there is a woman” --- You and I have heard this statement 100 of times in our lives, but personally I feel like that this show proves this statement right. 1st Kukkoo (Girlfriend of Gaitonde) and then Subhadra (Wife of Gaitonde), both have played a really important part in firing the fire of achieving success in Gaitonde. 
  5. “Never forgot the sacrifice made by the others for you, Pay off…” --- Gaitonde chose Sartaj as his messenger and main person to block up the doomsday. He informed him only and no one else. Sartaj didn’t even know him. Gaitonde chose him because it was Sartaj’s father who helped Gaitonde in the Jail when he got arrested and thrown behind the steel bars. Sartaj’s father used to provide him the food to eat in the prison without the fear of losing his own job. Hence, in order to pay off, Gaitonde chooses Sartaj over the others. 
  6. “Each and everything in this world teaches you something, just change the way you look at the things” --- This is the best lesson among all that I have learned after watching this amazing show. We all used to avert the negative circumstances and constantly attempt to impose the reason for our own failures on others. If you observe, then you’ll find that there is nothing in this world which doesn’t teach you anything.

“If you are not learning, you are not living”.

This is my insight from this amazing show called Sacred Games. I believe that this is a must watch, merely only for the age group of 18 and above.

I am sure that #ThisWillMakeYouThink.

MARKETING - 8th Wonder of the World

Yes, I’m declaring marketing as the 8 th Wonder of the World.  This is a very big claim I’m making as some of the high profile scientists and researchers from diverse fields have already declared the things like compound interest and other monuments as 8th Wonder of the World. I respect their opinions, but according to me the one thing that should be considered to be the 8 th wonder of the world is none other than the term ‘MARKETING’. Don’t worry, I will give a proper justification for my claims. Come, let’s dig into it. Before going further, first, we need to understand that marketing is not just a narrow topic that we read in our textbooks. MBAs, BBAs, Doctorates, etc. studies this topic as a subject, but I believe that this knowledge is very confined, but if you observe your day to day activities, your surroundings as well as other peoples you will find that somewhere or the other you are indulging in some sort of marketing either for yourself or for the other.

JOURNALISM - A Flawed Perspective

By -

Journalism is one of the world’s most respected and reputed profession. It takes a good amount of years to become a decent sort of Journalist. They are a source of information for all of us. If they don’t exist, then I’m pretty sure that the world’s information will be very hard to combine. News channels, Newspapers, Weekly Periodicals, Magazines, etc. are some of the best sources for updating yourself with the daily affairs. Journalists are being blindly trusted all around the universe and it is being assumed that they will project the true picture of the real world. It was being considered as a Non-Economic activity in many of the countries, but in the modern era, the definition of Journalism is getting changed. Irresponsibility is highly prevalent nowadays in this profession. Politeness is missing from the Media. The debate shows are now being conducted not to come to a conclusion, but to showcase immoral and harsh behavior on the national television. Advertisements and

Indian JUGAAD - What every other Nation can learn from it..?

Someone has rightly said that ‘India is a Land of Opportunities’. It has something for everyone. This nation very soon is going to overtake China in terms of the World’s highest populated country, being a runner-up with a population size of around 1.3 billion approx. Indians are everywhere. They are on land, they are in the sea, they are exploring the universe by sitting in a spacecraft and one day they will be on the ‘Future Earth’, i.e. MARS as well. We are very large in numbers and we proudly stand tall at this place against the rest of the world. But this leads to problems as well, which are continually being faced by the citizens of India. The high amount of population is directly proportional to the high demand for available resources. But since we lack equality, some remain with the least amount of resources, and on the other hand, some are having resources in abundance. Here, resources include everything that is required to live a peaceful life. The thirst of fulfilling s

THIRD WORLD WAR IS DECLARED...!!!

Yes, you have read it right. The Third World War is declared but this time it is going to be fought in a different manner and on different agendas. This is not going to be a traditional kind of war. You might find yourself fighting on the battlefield against your own loved ones as well. So now the question that arises is that what kind of war is it going to be and what is the reason for it? The reason that I’m going to share is very shocking but you will agree with me. The reason for a third world war will be none other than ‘WATER’.  Water which gives life to everyone is also going to be the reason one day when we human beings are going to kill each other because of lack of water. Water resources are getting depleted day by day. The natural resource which used to be available in abundance decades back has reached its capacity in major parts of the world. Majority of the world’s population nowadays is fulfilling its essential and basic needs of water by purchasing it. Reservoirs
