Professional assistance in matters of all matters is the considered recommended choice. And yes they seem to have all the answers to all the questions. Sometimes they have answers to questions not been asked. They exude confidence and tact, knowledge of the subject and its application, trust and assurance and the ability to manufacture success. Somewhere there is a feeling of being in the right company, one that gives me the strength of support in the right direction. Its a feeling of being good and nice. Nice !! Such a terrible word to use in writing. Expresses nothing. Lets try something else - errmm … gratifying ! Better … much better …

ha ha .. ever tried writing a blog with an incredibly exciting cricket match going on interspersed with the add., of the season - the zu zu’s !!

Out country folk must be so disadvantaged with all this IPL stuff and of course the zu zu’s. May be one of the within country fmxt would take the trouble of explaining it. Thank you so much.

Ya .. so where was I …ah yes .. professionals … hmmmm … o before I proceed, may I just inform the regulars in general that I have since shifted to Prateeksha. Janak … which you may have skipped earlier at the top of the page is, office, residence, meetings, piano bar … er .. 2 piano bars, my gym, my water logging during monsoon garage and the decorated memorabilia of all the delicate and loving gifts received. They also include a few awards !!

TV, film, endorsement, PR with foreign country representatives, negotiation on revenue, time finalization, creative inputs and the excitement of it all being put in place, has the capability to drain you to complete exhaustion. Faces that one had known become unknown, situations and times taking away a huge amount of interest and finally, the allocation and finality of decision. Suddenly remembered that I had not given any finality to anything other than the blog, towards anything that could have been of interest to others, nothing.. or to me .. sounds terribly selfish to think and act for oneself only. In this business maybe it is the recommended norm to not be final on any matter.

So when the client or the main party has to face and decide amongst themselves, the good and bad, it does become the most difficult decision one has ever taken. Indeed in the absence of a decision there is no difficulty either. Some dwell in such euphoria. Others do not. It becomes the privilege to not force decision on others, for even if they did, the end result would be more tolerable.

I hope that whatever decision I take has the strength of my convictions and my conscience. Else circumstances shall put force and I hope that when the moment comes I have the capacity to live up to expectations…

The professional then … yes we have not done away with the professional .. lives in exalted expectation. Was decision making correct. Will it resolve or destroy, stabilize or confuse, enlighten or end up like one big heap in the trash can. Who knows.

Is it a good practice then to lend ourselves to the decision making capacity of others ?? Would one in the absence of advisors continue to make mistakes and not learn from them. I wonder and I conclude.

When the mind is free of obligation. Free of consequences, then I believe the mind is a mindless entity, ready to be ignored and isolated and ready too to imbibe, perhaps with greater capacity what it may have lost out.

I admire such mind and I do believe that there are people here in the world that rely on this theory.

Some answers will never be found. Some questions will be never known. Some where the doors will shut and then … enlightenment … !!

I would like to live in such hope and compassion, without, note without, the benefit of commerce. Let me be managed. I would prefer a sizable team that directs me and looks after me - this poor me. Given to myself I would be all wound up yet shivering from the after math of an invasion, anticipating its rocket attack.

But I know it would be a difficult film or creativity without the rest of our ‘ friendly’ neighbors coming in. That would not just invade my privacy, but also invade my individuality, finally.

It is better then to look for a position in the market, than the market look for a position in me. That in my opinion would make the format weak and inconsequential.

My closing words though could only be termed as weak and inconsequential, but to approve the language spoken there, we would require time. In God’s grace we submit .. !!

My love again .. sincere and justified, full of laughter. And the character that makes us shudder with pain because the comedy is at its best and we have spent a large portion of our timing doing just that ; and rolling on the floor with laughter. I feel that would be the face around and distant from the main …

I remain with love and affection …
