Success Does Not Happen In Isolation

Success Does Not Happen In Isolation; However, With faith, trust and mutual benefit.

A farmer grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honour and prizes. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learn't something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know?

The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour’s corn also improves. Therefore, it is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well.

the value of a LIFE is measured by the lives it touches.
Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a participative and collective process.

So share the good practices, ideas, new learning with your family, team members, neighbours.

HOT GENERA - World Full Of Entertainment!

Hotgenera.com is one and only leading resources for the film production community. It is the No.1 Job Portal in India and hub for actors, models, technicians, Film makers, distributors, traders and all the people who seek career in Film & Media

This venture was brought to the picture; keeping in mind the strugglers of these industries and the talented people who lack the right direction to lead them on the right path.

A Software Engineer working in Dubai, who had tremendous talent in acting, left his career and came to India to seek opportunity in Films. Joined acting school buy paying huge amount. Every time he went to a Director he was asked to help in the script and arrange for a Producer; when he arranged a Producer, he was cheated by appointing a different Actor instead of him. He slogged for 2 years and only he got was role of a driver or a non speaking characters in the background. Now that he has got the right direction and got opportunities to work in film but he has lost his 2+ years running behind people to get one opportunity to Act.

A student who was interested in Modeling did not know how she can get through in the field of fashion. She was taken advantage and asked to meet in the night and was harassed. She tried contacting few small time agencies who could give her the opportunity. In this process she spent in thousands to get 1 chance. She was cheated and she lost hopes in perusing a fashion career.

There are many cases such as –
 Girl who had to go back to her village as she was insulted while requesting for an opportunity to act. She was also asked to spend one night to get a chance to act in the movie.
 In other case, one man who had the talent of singing was made to wait for two months to take his audition
 A scriptwriter who used to carry his writings and stories was rejected; but after 6 months the same story was used to make a film and this poor guy was cheated

Just because some people don’t have experience or reference, they are being rejected and not given the opportunity

80% of the Employers are not satisfied with their castings. The reason being they did not have enough time to take the auditions or the news was not reached to right people at the right time. Hence many film makers end up spending in crores but not able to have the right people in their projects to work with them.

Employers or the Film Makers spend money and time but fail to get the right response. Aspirants are not shown the right path and even they end up in spending money and time.

Film makers are not having enough resources to distribute their films. A movie gets publicity only if the channel of distribution is good. Most of the movies don’t come till Box Office due to lack of distribution and publicity.

There are enormous of short movie makers who do the tremendous work but fail to publicize the same. They are unable to reach the crowd and to showcase their talent or work. They remain the same to struggle till the end.

Film distributors don’t get opportunities to buy good movies for the distribution. They lack contacts with the film makers.

Viewers don’t get satisfied with the entertainment material what they wish for and hence in every way people end up loosing time and money

With all these examples we understand that there is lack of contact and no proper direction or guide to show these people the right path for success.

People loose their time, money and especially the career opportunities.

This is where ‘Hot Genera’ has come to existence to help people to meet, communicate and to build contacts. Hot Genera shows path to people to achieve their goals and hence helps to save time and money if otherwise.

If beauty alone was enough to guarantee success in film biz, then many of our Bollywood Belles would've done wonders and soared the popularity charts already. However they haven't.

Sex may sell. But not always. That's the reason many actresses have come, flaunted and gone. But the name of the game isn't just survival. It is to achieve success. And though a fab body maybe on their 'sexy side', Lady Luck casually avoids them, and these Body Beautiful can't do anything but try again and again sensuously.

Hot Genera invites people to be part of the family and help all talented people. From a just born baby to a person on his death bed has scope in this entertainment industry.

Entertainment industry is not only meant for beautiful people but mainly for talented people.

Baby abandoned near BU Campus - True Story

September 1, 2008

Bangalore: He is just a day old and struggles to open his eyes. He’s placed under a tree at the Bangalore University campus. Flies and ants were swarming over him when he was found. The infant had been crying all the day but traffic noise drowned his cries.

A student, upon seeing the baby, informed people and soon a crowd gathered. But none came forward. It was only after Mala, a BU employee, with help from her colleagues, rushed the baby to the university health centre that the police were informed.

“I heard an abandoned baby had been found. I saw the baby shivering and ants crawling over him,” Mala said.

“After giving him first aid at the university health centre, we took him to Panacea Hospital,” she said. The baby weighs 2.8 kg and 20 inches long. A doctor said he has been admitted to the ICU and his condition is stable.

“The umbilical cord was still fresh when the baby was brought to the hospital. He came with some insect bites on his face and his blood sugar was low. We suspect damage to his cornea,” said Dr Niranjan, a pediatrician at the hospital.

Mala has been staying at the hospital since Friday looking after the baby.

“If his parents didn’t want him, they could have given him to an adoption centre instead of abandoning him. I was destined to take care of him, I think. I’ve two kids but I am not parting with this gift. I have named him Srinivas,” Mala said.

Panacea Hospital management said they will bear the treatment cost.

Dreams shattered, many Strugglers in Glamour Industry turn to Crime

Examples:
1) A budding scriptwriter snatches chains to meet his ailing mother's medical expenses.
2) Desperate for a car, a struggling actor forces his wife, also an actor, into prostitution.
3) The case of Rajesh (name changed), a small-time lyricist who was arrested by the Kandivli police on charges of chain-snatching on Sunday, highlighted a dark truth that many young Bollywood aspirants live with. Work in the film industry was elusive and Adagle needed money to pay for his ailing mother's medicines.

His is a story that many Bollywood aspirants or 'strugglers' identify with. Their big-screen dreams shattered, many take to crime to pay the rent or maintain expensive lifestyles to showcase themselves to filmmakers.

Those who have made it after years of struggle say - the main reason is the stress of maintaining the glamour quotient the industry demands. Newcomers often cannot handle the pressure; they drift towards crime to fulfil basic needs like paying the rent of a flat in Lokhandwala Complex. To get famous, people need to show off. For that, they need a constant flow of money. It is not a new phenomenon, but these days there have been more cases involving small-time actors.

The involvement of aspiring actors and models in crime was the result of "accumulative frustration". These people are not very successful; there is always a sense of insecurity. They take to crime thinking that they have been rejected by society. Moreover, once they get a taste of this 'glamour world', they don't want to come out. They would do anything to maintain their lifestyles.

Those who have been through the rejection and frustration on their road to stardom say the pressure is too much to handle. If you don't get to eat one meal a day, it's fine. But you need to wear designer clothes to get noticed. In a party, you have to buy a drink. Even if you stay in a rented house, you have to show off by travelling in a car and joining the best gym in the area. Often newcomers get used and are sucked into crime, often becoming victims themselves.

ASK WHAT'S IT ALL FOR?

A corporate executive on holiday in a small Greek seacoast village was strolling by the docks and drinking in the local color. He complimented one fisherman on the quality of his catch.
“How long did it take you to get all those fish?” he wondered.
“Not very long,” answered the Greek. “An hour or two.”
“Then why didn’t you stay out longer to catch more?”
Shrugging, the Greek explained that his catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The executive asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a nap with my wife. In the evening, I go to the village to see my friends, dance a little, play the bouzouki, and sing songs. I have a full life.”
The executive said, “I have an MBA from Harvard. I can help you. You should start by fishing longer every day. You’ll catch extra fish that you can sell. With the revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring you, you can buy a second boat and a third one, and so on, until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can ship fish to markets all around the world. In time, you can then move to New York City to direct your huge enterprise.”
“How long would that take?” asked the Greek.
“Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years,” replied the executive.
“And after that?”
“When your business gets really big, you can sell stock and make millions!” exclaimed the executive with zeal.
“Millions? Really? And after that?”
“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a small village near the coast, sleep late, play with your grandchildren, catch a few fish, take a nap with your wife, and spend your evenings singing, dancing, and playing the bouzouki with your friends.”

WHEN ONE EYE IS FIXED UPON YOUR DESTINATION, THERE IS ONLY ONE EYE LEFT WITH WHICH TO FIND THE WAY

A young boy traveled across Japan to the school of a famous martial artist. When he arrived at the dojo he was given an audience by the sensei.
“What do you wish from me?” the master asked.
“I wish to be your student and be the finest karateka in the land,” the boy replied. “How long must I study?”
“Ten years at least,” the master answered.
“Ten years is a long time,” said the boy. “What if I studied twice as hard as all your other students?”
“Twenty years,” replied the master.
“Twenty years! What if I practice day and night with all my effort?”
“Thirty years,” was the master’s reply.
“How is it that each time I say I will work harder, you tell me that it will take longer?” the boy asked.
“The answer is clear. When one eye is fixed upon your destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the Way.”

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it’s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a dilemma that was once used as part of a job application.
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus youshould save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and thiswould be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?
He simply answered:
“I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.”
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to “Think Outside the Box.”

INDIAN CULTURE

The term culture refers to a state of intellectual development or manners. The social and political forces that influence the growth of a human being is defined as culture.

Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture.

The culture of India can be best expressed as comprising the following

Humanity - The mildness of the Indians has continued till date, despite the aggressiveness of the Muslim conquerors and the reforming zeal of the British, the Portuguese and the Dutch. The Indians are noted for their humanness and calm nature without any harshness in their principles and ideals.

Tolerance - Gandhiji’s satyagraha principle or Ahimsa - freedom without taking a drop of blood, worked wonders and gave credit to India in the international arena. Swami Vivekananda in his famous Chicago Speech on the 11th of September, 1893 spoke of this.

Unity - India is a conglomeration of men and women of various castes and creed. It is a fusion of old traditional values and the modern principles, thus satisfying all the three generations in the present India. The Elite businessman and the common vendor on the road share the same news and worship the same deity .

Secularism - India is a secular coun country as stated in its Constitution. There is freedom of worship throughout the length and breadth of India without any breeches or violations of any other’s religious beliefs. The Hindus, The Muslims, The Christians, and The Sikhs in times of calamity and during festivities come openly together to share their thoughts despite their religious affinities. The catholicity of the Indian culture can be best understood by the fact that hundreds of Hindus visit the Velankanni shrine or the Nagore Dargah in Tamilnadu.

Closely knit Social system - The Indian Social System is mostly based on the Joint family System, but for some of the recently cropped nuclear families. The families are closely knit with Grandfathers, fathers, sons and grandsons sharing the same spirit, tradition and property.

Indian culture treats guests as god and serves them and takes care of them as if they are a part and parcel of the family itself. Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Elders and the respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders by touching their feet. Elders drill and pass on the Indian culture within us as we grow.

“Respect one another” is another lesson that is taught from the books of Indian culture. All people are alike and respecting one another is ones duty. In foreign countries the relation between the boss and the employee is like a master and slave and is purely monetary whereas in Indian culture the relation between the boss and the employee is more like homely relations unlike foreign countries.

Helpful nature is another striking feature in our Indian culture. Right from our early days of childhood we are taught to help one another in need of help and distress. If not monetary then at least in kind or non-monetary ways.

Indian culture tells us to multiply and distribute joy and happiness and share sadness and pain. It tells us that by all this we can develop co-operation and better living amongst ourselves and subsequently make this world a better place to live in.

Even though India is a country of various religions and caste our culture tells us just one thing 'phir bhi dil hai hidustani '.

OFFICE MANNERS

There are several office manners that need to be addressed in the higher education environment. If you want your office to be courteous and professional, the following items should be brought to the student workers' attention.
Manners and behaviors students should not exhibit:
Inappropriate Welcome
Failure to greet someone, weak or no handshake, failure to introduce that person to your supervisor if the situation calls for it
Poor Listening
Not paying attention to a student/employer/alumni who needs assistance, talking while they are speaking, asking a question just covered by the person
Poor Dress and Grooming
Sloppy appearance, gym or unclean clothing, revealing clothes. You should be clear as to what your expectations are concerning dress in your office. Do this at the beginning of the semester so there is no confusion.
Poor Telephone Behavior
Not returning calls, eating while on the phone, slamming the phone down, long hold times, load talking or belligerent tone, leaving the cell phone on, talking on the cell phone, etc.
Inconsiderate of Office Space
Leaving a mess out in office, leaving dirty coffee mugs in rooms, leaving stapler or copier empty after using the last of the staples or paper, leaving the copier jammed
Inappropriate Behavior while Working
Scratching, flossing teeth, yawning or coughing with mouth uncovered, playing with hair, putting on makeup, cleaning fingernails, etc.
Disregard of Others Time
Interrupting people at work, keeping people waiting, not showing up for your scheduled work time.
Snooping Reading others faxes, email, computer screen, or mail

THE OLD WOMAN

Imagine an old and gentle woman, near death, with both hands on a rusty musket, standing alone at the edge of a field in which every rock and rise are as familar to her as the ceiling cracks in the farmhouse crouching behind her. Imagine her eyes, barely able to see, trying to focus on the dust raised by a few so-called soldiers trudging across a nearby hill. Caught in conflict, driven to a final extreme, she waits unsteadily, frightened most by her own decision to do this, confused by the rumors that have drifted through her village for weeks, yet somehow ready to defend her land and her surviving grandchild with what is left of her life.
We - you and I - have put her there, for we continue to tolerate what is wrong and destructive to ourselves: what is greed, what is injustice, what is violence, too often resulting in war and famine and ragged flight. We foster these things, in fact, by not demanding their end.
Do we not care enough - or truly notice - that we are letting our lowest instincts succeed while our highest ones dangerously idle and slide, diminished so often by mere contentment and myopia? All the while these finer sides of our humanity insistently remind us that we ride this Earthome together and that we must take care of each other, no matter who, no matter where, no matter how, long before we force this aged woman to fire her gun.
