In the hustle and bustle of everyday life , you may have friends and family that you try to make time for. Then there is your professional life that can consume a large portion of your day and night depending on where you are in your career. It is so easy to lose control of your life personally and professionally. The two begin to blend together and you wonder where one starts and one ends. Life has to have some balance to it in order to keep you healthy and sane. This can often seem so hard to do but with a one needs to find that balance and harmony in life. Or else one either looses out on their personal life which will in turn affect their professional life. Before one can even begin to get your life in balance you need to first know where your life is out of balance. Are you spending too much time at work and not enough time at home? Are you working on the weekends instead of spending time with friends and family? Are you married? If so your life then isn’t just about you. So

SHM are one of the biggest DJs in the world. They were in india for their 2 city #onelasttour concerts. In Mumbai & Delhi. Crazy preps. Never seen a rider like they have. Have had the chance to manage a lot of international artists but this was EPIC. Highly professional management. Lot of learning. So the Bombay concert was to take place on the 17th Dec 2012. We were all set. Last minute checking ensuring everything's good. Ensuring a great experience for SHM and the news of Balasaheb broke out. We had around 14k people gathered at Turf Club already. Mr. Shailendra Singh , gracefully told that huge a audience to leave the venue for their safety. And the super-excited kids left without a word. Thats why Bombay culture , attitude rocks totally. if this would have happened in Delhi, riots would have broken out for sure. We moved to Delhi..all went well. HAd a great time working on it. SHM issued those special " working " passes which only a few of us had access

The first time i ever started working and my boss quit. i cried i cried i cried non stop. i was barely 18 years old then. But it was one of the biggest shocks! How can your boss leave you and go? But over time things change. I get attached to the people i work with. I don't know if its normal or not normal. Last i cried was when my boss who i owe everything to quit after 14 years. A lot of times when people in my team quit, i get upset only because it takes time training them and then they decide to quit. but i am quite okay with that now. part and parcel. I have had multiple bosses while i have been constant in my role. so much learning. so much exposure at all times. I am glad/thankful to my stars that each time it has been a new new learning with every new boss. With time and rate at which my bosses kept changing, i decided to keep my mind open and just focus on learning different style of working, processes, temperaments. But at the end of the day, whatever i say, i d

Screw everyone! I am not anorexic. Don’t get all the scientific on me and talk of BMI and stuff. For my height I have the perfect body so people say im underweight. I don’t have a typical Indian body. That’s all. I am very fit and healthy. My metabolism rocks. Ever heard of me falling sick or landing in the hospital? I can eat whatever I want! :) I am glad I have a body like that!

Fans depend on athletes to score touchdowns, hit homeruns, and win championships, but behind the scenes most successful sports stars rely on a hard-working sports agent to take care of business for them, so they can concentrate on their game. The idea of being able to combine two interests, business and sport, in my career led me to the business initially, there have been so many learning opportunities and great experiences in the industry that I didn’t realize would be possible at the time. ringing telephones and negotiations that are at once high-powered and low-keyed. The main thing a talent agent is good at is simply recognizing talent and figuring out how to promote it. An agent is a marketing wiz, yes, but they are also up to date on current events and are aware of the business side. To connect their own talent roster with their clients’ future needs, and deciding if they need to seek out new talent to round out the agency. Athletes typically hire sports agents to represent t

It is the small details that makes the man "It is the small details that make the man" That is actually a good saying if I may say so myself, perhaps I just came up with a new famous saying *lol* What I am referring to here aren't looks though but things. I have noticed that Monsieur H gets very happy for small things, things that I wouldn't care less about. Lets say that he likes to eat ghatiya ( gujju snack), he would probably be incredibly happy for just a small thing like that while I wouldn't care at all. And that is the differences between men and women, they care for things we don't and the other way around. And it's the small things that makes the man, because we like our partners for what they like and I was of course happy to see that he got very happy because of ghatiya but I shook my head behind his back smiling. *lol* Sometimes paying attention to the small details can enrich a relationship more than words themselves...

Kids today work less and crib more. i have been observing these new-entrants they keep cribbing without having seen the outside "corporate" world. Its damn annoying when they do it all the time. They are not at all hungry to make it big. very few people have that sense of ownership/responsibility etc. They think they're doing the company a favor by working. More to write, have so much to write but just no time. So soon.

I need to start blogging often. I so feel like at times. But my freaking bb doesnt allow the application. I have to blog on London 2012- representing the athletes at Olympics Scotland People i Met Memories that i will cherish forever And so Much More! Back Soon!

I hate the word expectations. i hate it when i expect. i know i get very upset. i have always been expectations enemy i think. i generally dont expect anything from anyone. i am extremely self-motivated by nature. thats a gods gift. but something when i end up expecting it all goes for a toss. phewww. so what do i do. something are expected to happen no..but even they dont in my case. okay so random this is. but yes it is. prbably will write when my mind is clearer.

Monsieur H. my life. my world. the best to have happened to me ever. blessed to have him. he is my calming factor. my support. whatever i am i owe it to him. i love him too much. it been almost 2 years now..feel like it was just yesterday. helps me with a solution everytime i am stressed. je t'aime toujours.

Was all geared for the shoot. Almost tried to achieve the impossible. Everything was set. And the least expected happened. What i had planned and thought of for the athletes for finally working out. i traveled to Patiala in order to get everything done without any hassles. but guess what some thing so irrelevant came up and screwed up the entire plan. It was because of an insecure and self-centered old man. Just because he was not getting the limelight he planned to ruin it for the boys. so we had to cancel 50 % of what was planned. Had a very very stressful day. cut shot my trip. And now i am at Baradari Palace sitting in a peaceful room , blogging. This is a pretty place. the Palace is set ad-mist the beautiful Baradari Gardens in Patiala. It was used to be a palace once upon a time. Managed by the Neemrana group of hotels. The washroom here is bigger than the room. Very simple but classy. the lighting is perfect. Amenities basic. No TV. Interesting books. view from my room

In talent management, the personal relationship between a celebrity and a manager is eminent. A talent's focus is to highlight oneself but a talent manager's job is to make a brand out of an individual. Managers ensure that the talent remains focused on their goal and guides the talent in the necessary steps to be taken. Talent management involves 360 degree celebrity and brand fit services including endorsement management, portfolio management, strategic PR, digital presence management, grooming, etiquette, appearance, etc. Then there's the event triangle - big league sports, turning sporting events into sponsorships, and sponsorships into promotions. Other aspects include understanding the sponsors, the media and the broadcast industry, licensing and merchandising, sporting goods and lifestyle merchandising, endorsements, sports marketing buyers and sellers, and future issues in sports marketing. Choosing conventional celebrities vs. brand requirements For establ

My job involves getting celebrities cover features . photoshoots , glam etc. i never imagined that i could be on a cover too. yes yes yes. one of the photo editors on my facebook friend list saw my wedding images and immediately called me. when he called to ask if he could use my wedding images for a special on gujrati weddings i thought he was fooling..clearly because i know generally these magazines shoot. these images were for a INDIA TODAY magazine. initially i thought he was just fooling me. but then he requested and i asked me to believe him. wrote me an official email. i asked monsieur H if we should share the images and he was hesitant he said its very personal and was not keen. so i conveyed the same to the photo editor at India today. He was in a fix..he had really liked the images and since it was genuine and has a deadline to meet he dint budge. requested till i agreed. i thought its a small feature nobody would really see it. so i shared my wedding images and forgot a

Love spending time with daddy and mommy. have been living with them for 27 years but never cherished the moments and now i do . and how. i mean they have their own little world now after our farewells. Both busy in their own world. Mom sings ..does her riyaaz..dad is reading interesting stuff and then imparting on us. they are so well versed with todays life. ahead of times i must say. that what is so important. always ready to learn new things new ideas etc. us i am a little sick and with all the home remedies im on way to recovery. Their debates , arguments are so refreshing. now i know why would we never win while fighting with them because they knew it all. I am so grateful that i was born to them. Mom has kick started her singing career. she loves it and enjoying every bit of it. My dad advices her on to keep her throat clear all the time. She has a show coming up on monday , stahe show, wooohooo. The best part they take everything so positively thats one thing i have learnt

The text for the left brain reads: “I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am. And for the right brain: “I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.

Some people instantly get that smile on your face no? Yes one such friend of mine got married last week. She is so full of positive and happy vibes. She is my friend from college. Done a lot crazy stuff together. Have some mental memories together. She is super cool. Full of life. Never sad when she's around. She got married in udaipur and I so hate my self for missing it. Had no option. Aaarrgh. So here's wishing her all the happiness in the world. Btw I quite liked her husband he was very warm. :) Wishing them happiness forever.:*

This displaced feeling. Suddenly feeling the urge to do something different. Don't know have been feeling totally disoriented past couple of days at work. Not that I don't like what I do. I love it infact. Just looking for something different. Something that is within and not coming up. Okay very weird yes but eerie only. Time to move on? Is it? No I don't think so. Moving on is not an option. Need to accomplish something here only. Let's see how long this feeling stays. Won't be able to handle it for too long. This vicky donor is a killer film. Thank god john abraham dint act in the film.

In love with my job all over again. Let go of a massive music fest that I worked on for 3 years. Now is the time to do new stuff. Managing a few athletes who have qualified for olympics2012. Getting them feature in india's top magazines and much more. traveled to NIS patiala for a brilliant shoot. Met the boxing coach and india's top sports physio's. Was a brilliant trip. Its not easy being a sportsperson in India. Trying my bit to contribute to the country's talent. Feeling like jerry mcquire right now is all I can say! :)

She is arrogant. She doesn't respect olders. She doesn't bother to take care when her own parents are unwell. She fights. Nobody likes her. She shouts. She is super-selfish. She thinks she knows-it-all. She is rude as hell. She is anti-social. She has zero talent. She is sick in the head. She is oh-so-insecure. She fools people day in and day out. She has no clue what a family is. She is a vagabond. I feel sad for her. That's it. :)

Family ties\attachment is one of the most important aspect in a childs upbringing. Off late I have come across a lot of people who look , sound , dress well behaved , but don't respect elders. Their own. These people are very self-centered. They become so. They disregard their own grand parents. I feel very few fortunate individuals get the privilege to grow around them. Your grandparents love you unconditionally. They have nothing to gain from you. Its pure love and warmth. I totally can't stand people who disregard that. Probably they don't even realize the importance of it.
