Karan Johar doesn't know business...

Yeah, that's what I feel. Simply because he makes movies which run for 4 hours. Isn't that ridiculous, had it been a Hollywood production, they would made 3 sequels out of that. That's how the Hollywood industry survives I think.
Coming to Mr. Johar. he puts all his money into one movie which runs for 4 hours, has around 5 leading actors of Bollywood and shoots in all exotic locations around the world. God knows whether he makes any profit out of it and how he manages that. Well for sure his movies run houseful. But he can also have 3 houseful movies instead, as it is Shahrukh's movies are bound to run houseful and K.J. doesn't know how to make movies without Shahrukh.
So I would advice KJ, to take Shahrukh and make 3 movies in the same budget and make more money.
The other problem with his movies, he doesn't how much problem it causes to the audiences. For once, the movie shows that start at 10 or 11 PM run into odd hours of night/morning. And when I went to a theatre to watch KANK at 11 PM I couldn't find a parking. Cannot blame the theatre owners. They cant help it. See for 11 PM show we would arrive at 10:45 at least. So at that point, we would have 4 shows running, 7,8,9 and 10 PM shows. All houseful.
And another disadvantage you cannot release a DVD version with uncut scenes. Come on, it already has 4 hours of movie. With 1 interval. He should at least give a second interval. Poor audiences.
And see Ram Gopal Verma, he makes 1.5 hr movies with all new actors. Who cares if the movie flops. The money is back.. Because some people would definitely go to see the girls and nach-gana, isn't it?
I tell you KJ had made 1/3rd of the profit, he could have made out of KANK, had he released it in sequels. You bet.

To me she is the most adorable girl on earth....

I love my job!

There have been numerous instances where I had been tempted to leave my job, but somewhere inside i am happy that I had not taken that decision. Because frankly this job has given me some funny moments. Well not sure if you would find them funny or not.
Like the other day my manager said that a new manager would be joining her in the projects she is handling now. Nothing funny in that but the fact that I am the only developer working under her. Now, I also get adhoc requests from other manager, some HD issues etc. But she is my manager who primarily assigns me work.
The point is if another manager would be helping her, it implies that I have to handle two managers at a time. You know taking work from both of them. So instead of a manager handling 2-3 developers, me the developer would be handling 2 managers. Seems like we have an overflow of managers and are short of people who actually do the work .
Today my manager also asked me whether she can go for lunch, as there was a production deployment scheduled. And I gave her the permission, to be specific I said "I think you can go for lunch, if you can come back soon. Otherwise also I don't see much issue here."

What's in a name?

---Coming soon.
