I have been directing, shooting, and editing documentary films for over 27 years, covering various subjects, such as veteran filmmaker Mrinal Sen, maestro V Balsara, famous writers and filmmakers of Calcutta, and environmental and cultural topics. I have also assisted renowned filmmakers Buddhadeb Dasgupta and Gautam Ghose in their productions. My goal is to use my artistic and technical skills to create compelling and meaningful documentaries that inform, inspire, and entertain the audience.

Don't we comment too fast while watching a film and after watching it? 

▪️

Comments should come from a prepared mind, which is ready to go deep down. 

▪️

Many of us have watched the film, Titanic. Very few of us asked such questions: "Is there something very complex to handle?" "Did they really take such risks?" Or "Is there any hidden truth in the making which is unknown to us?"

▪️

Do we really want to demystify film? Or, do we love to pamper the kids within us and keep watching?

▪️

A film goes through different phases :

Pre-production (from developing an idea, storybuilding, to location hunting), production (shooting, etc), post production (editing, etc)

When we watch, story of the film grab us, generally. Many of us love to watch a "story" with characters talking and moving.

This short reel will demystify filmmaking.

This reel of the shooting of Titanic will show the gap between our imagination about the making and the fact.

"Ignite your passion and find your calling!"
This quote can't be more true to my life story.
After completing my graduation and post graduation in Banking & Finance, the most expected and obvious choice would be to work in any organization in the same sector. And yes, that's exactly what I did.
After working for 2 leading banks in India, I realized that my passion lies elsewhere.
After juggling with couple of other fields, I reached my true calling- TRAINING/ FACILITATING!
The last 10 years in the this field have been a learning and a liberating experience for me. I have stumbled many a times, but gathered the strength to get up and carry on.  I have successfully imparted trainings to more than 6000 participants from all walks of life (Students & professionals).

Being a Corporate Trainer, gives me the opportunity to meet and interact with participants, become a part of their learning journey, and make may be a small but positive impact in their personal as well as professional lives. 
Along the way, a new field also sparked my interest while guiding students and I pursued my certification in career counseling. As a Certified Career Counselor, I have successfully been guiding and helping students make the right and informed career choice.
Looking to enhance and improve many more professionals and students to realize their potential in their respective fields.

This is not a promotion post.
This is a wake-up call especially for women.

I recently came across a Paytm ad that made me pause and question myself.

A group of men and women were asked simple financial questions:
“If your answer is yes, step forward. If no, step back.”
By the end, most women stood behind. Most men were ahead.

Why?

Because they were more financially aware, more involved…
while many women (including me) often think,
“Why should I bother? My husband/ dad will handle it.”

We talk about gender equality,
yet in our own homes we silently accept that “finances are his department.”

Before deciding whether this applies to you, answer these honestly:

🤔Do you track the budget?

🤔Do you know the exact breakup of your own salary?

🤔Do you understand the difference between a Mutual Fund and a SIP?

🤔Have you ever purchased an insurance policy on your own?

🤔Have you filed your own taxes?


If even one answer is “no,” maybe it’s time to rethink.

For years, society has labeled certain responsibilities as “women’s jobs” and others as “men’s jobs.”
Finances almost always fell on the men’s side.

It’s time to change that narrative—not to prove that we’re better or equal—
but to be aware, confident, and in control of our own money and decisions.

Financial independence isn’t about competition.
It’s about clarity, security, and self-respect.

Let’s bridge that gap—starting today. 💙

A big appreciation to Paytm for creating such a thoughtful and eye-opening ad—
one that doesn’t sell a product, but sparks a much-needed conversation.

Everyone saw the sixes.
Very few saw the years that built them.

At just 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is turning heads at the 2025 Asia Cup Rising Stars — smashing 144 off 42 balls against UAE and 45 off 28 balls against Pakistan Shaheens.

These aren’t lucky knocks.
They’re the result of quiet hard work, discipline, and hours of practice long before the spotlight arrived.

And it’s the same in our everyday lives — the results people admire are built on the consistency no one sees.
Small daily efforts → big visible outcomes.

Talent is a spark.
Hard work is the fuel.

#HardWorkPaysOff #YoungTalent #Cricket

A team isn’t defined by how often it wins… but by how it rises after every fall.

What struck me deeply in the Indian women’s cricket team’s conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi was this simple truth:

When one player performed well, everyone celebrated.
When someone didn’t have a great day, a teammate placed a hand on her shoulder and said, “It’s okay, you’ll come back stronger.”

That’s what real unity looks like — showing up for each other not just in moments of applause, but in moments of doubt.

In our workplaces too, performance doesn’t dip because people lack talent… it dips when they feel alone.

Imagine what we could achieve if we:
✨ Celebrated each other’s wins without hesitation
✨ Backed a colleague who’s struggling instead of judging
✨ Focused on lifting the team’s mood, not pointing fingers
✨ Reminded each other that one bad day doesn’t define anyone

Strong teams aren’t built on perfect results —
they’re built on trust, empathy, and the courage to stand together when someone stumbles.

If you have a teammate who has your back, tag them below. Let them know they matter. 💙🏆

If you have siblings, you’ll get this instantly. 😅

As kids, it took just one nudge, one tease, or one sarcastic comment to spark a full-blown fight.
We reacted instantly.
They knew our triggers… and we knew theirs.

But as we grew up, something shifted.

In the video I’m sharing, one dog is barking nonstop… and the other doesn’t even flinch.
That’s exactly what maturity looks like.

Because life doesn’t get quieter.
People still make noise.
Situations still try to pull you in.
Behaviours still demand a reaction.

What changes is you.

Today, you pause.
You think.
You choose.
You’ve learned to stay calm, stay centred, and stay in control.

You don’t respond because someone is loud.
You respond because you are composed.

That’s emotional maturity —
not about staying silent, but choosing your reactions wisely.

Because not every bark deserves your energy.

#EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #Mindset

Ever noticed how quickly we shift from listening to defending the moment someone disagrees with us?

It happens at home.
It happens at work.
And more often than we realise.

In a recent training, I saw a participant trying hard to prove he was right. The moment a different perspective surfaced, his tone changed and his defensiveness took over.

But the truth is… most of us do this.
Our posture tightens, our tone becomes firm, and we stop being open.

Why?
Because being right feels safe.
It protects our ego and validates our competence.

But nothing breaks when we're wrong.

We simply learn something we didn’t know before.
Even SMEs don’t have all the answers.
And two people can be right in their own context.

In my sessions, I remind participants:

When the “need to be right” takes over:
• Pause and ask: “Am I adding value or just defending?”
• Listen to understand, not to respond.
• Treat viewpoints as information, not threats.
• Allow for the possibility that the other person also has a point.

Does this look doable?What helps you stay open during disagreements?

On a lighter note, as mentioned in the image below, in a husband wife relationship, the WIFE is ALWAYS RIGHT 🙈😅

If we need ChatGPT for every tiny decision… are we becoming efficient or just outsourced humans?

We’re outsourcing decisions, replies, ideas — even the simplest things.
AI is brilliant.
But let’s not forget: our own voice is still the strongest tool we have.

Happiness isn’t found in perfect days… it’s created in imperfect moments.

We all face delays, disappointments, tough conversations, and unexpected detours.
But some people stay lighter, calmer, and stronger—not because life is easier for them, but because their lens is kinder.

When you train your mind to notice what’s working, what’s growing, and what’s still possible…
even the hard days feel a little softer.

Happiness grows where attention goes.

👉 Take 10 seconds right now and write one thing you’re choosing to appreciate today.
Small practice. Big difference.

Being “on” is easy. 
Staying “on” is what drains introverts.

🤔

Last weekend at a wedding, I found myself talking to someone who’s an introvert like me.
And it reminded me of something we often overlook in corporate life too:

Introverts aren’t antisocial.
We love conversations, connections, and meaningful interactions — whether at family events or at work.
But once the environment gets too loud, too crowded, or too “on display”… our energy starts dipping fast.
Even a simple smile for one more photo (or one more meeting) can feel like effort.

Not everyone gets energised by open office floors, back-to-back meetings, forced fun, or large townhalls.
Many introvert employees thrive when given space to think, recharge, and return with clarity.

So here’s a thought worth reflecting on:
Are we designing workplaces for all personality types — or only for the ones who speak the loudest?

A little room for quiet can unlock a lot more brilliance.

#Introverts #PeopleAndCulture #WorkplaceWellbeing

“How are you?”

A question we answer every day…
yet rarely with the truth.

Most of us say “I’m okay”
even when we’re tired, hurting, confused, or quietly breaking.

Because today, honesty needs safety—
and it’s a privilege to have even one person
with whom you can drop every filter
and speak exactly how your heart feels.

If you have that one person, hold on to them.
They’re not common.
They’re comfort.

Tag that one person who makes you feel safe enough to be real.
