IF 'GANDHI' WAS MADE IN 2016...

Some movies touch your heart, some leave deep impact on your soul and some, you wish to never forget. I'm an admirer of all genre movies. The former times movies have well build and realistic story line, excellent performance by actors. I would love to watch actors of this generation will replace the characters of a classic movie. With its proposition of 'Woh Zamaana Kare Deewana', Zee Classic is India's only Hindi movie channel that endeavors to recreate the magic of iconic classics and new age cinema by showcasing not just the films that shaped Indian cinema but also acquaint viewers with the creative talent who were a part of that timeless era. 

In order to mark the occasion of India’s 70^th year of independence, Zee Classic premieres

One of the most iconic films of all times, Gandhi (1982) was produced and directed by Richard Attenborough and written by John Briley. Starring Ben Kingsley, Rohini Hattangadi, Edward Fox, Roshan Seth, among others. The story is that of an Indian lawyer who returned from racially segregated South Africa to drive the British out of his home country through successive acts of non-violent protest. The portrayal of how simplicity and the power collectivism can throw over a whole British empire bringing them to their knees.

As Zee Classic gears up to premiere ‘Gandhi', this Saturday, on 13^th August at 8 PM in ‘India’s Finest Films’ and on Monday, 15^th August at 9:30 AM, we wonder who would be a part of this classic if it was to be re-made in 2016!

Let's see who'll replace whom:

Director

1982 : Sir Richard Attenborough had the ability and talent to accommodate a person’s entire lifespan in a couple of hours. He did a phenomenal job right from the research to bringing alive the legacy of the father of our nation on big screen.

2016: Ashutosh Gowarikar known for his love for historical films and bringing lost eras to life with Lagaan, Jodha Akbar and Swadesh, is undoubtedly our choice to direct this film today.

Mahatma Gandhi

1982: Ben Kingsley played the role of Mahatma Gandhi in the movie.

2016: Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is the man for the job. Known for his chameleon skills to adapt to various roles and characters combined with his attention to detail, Aamir Khan should play the role of our beloved Baapu.

Kasturba Gandhi

1982: Rohini Hoattangadi, beautifully portrayed Kasturba Gandhi, wife of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. 

2016: Kajol, one of India’s most acclaimed actresses can easily pull off the role of Baa.

General Dyer

1982: Edward Fox is etched in our minds as the dreadful and shrewd General Dyer who was hated by all for his infamous Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

2016: Tom Alter with his international looks and versatile talent can be General Dyer in ‘Gandhi’.

Jawahar Lal Nehru

1982: Roshan Seth played the role of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to perfection.

2016: The Nawab of Bollywood, Saif Ali Khan wins hands down with his charming royal looks.

Sardar Patel

1982: Saeed Jaffery pulled off the role of The Iron Man of India, Sardar Patel flawlessly.            

2016: Paresh Rawal’s known for his diverse character roles makes him our choice to play the part.

Mohammad Ali Jinnah

1982: Alyque Padamsee brought to life an important historic figure, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, popularly known as the father of Pakistan in history

2016: Irrfan Khan, a global Indian will surely cut ice in this role.

Lord Mountbatten

1982: Peter Harlowe played the part with the sternness of a bureaucrat and an attitude on his face.

2016: The suave, Rajat Kapoor has our vote to play the last viceroy of the British Indian Empire.

Whether it was 1982 or 2016, the story of the man who brought India independence needs to be told and needs to be heard!

OneBlackMark App for TNElection2016

During election time, all the parties want to be visible through advertisement. And social media is one of the successful medium of advertisement. As you all knew its election time in Tamil Nadu, first time in the history of Tamil Nadu all the political parties started taking social media and online advertising seriously. 

Yes it’s all because of one man Mr. Narendra Modi who nearly ruled every social media channel during the 2014 general elections in India. Now I am seeing so many Google display ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram and many other traditional print mediums. DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) and PMK (Pattali makkal Katchi) are the parties who extensively using these advertising platforms.

Apart from this as a citizen I would really like to thank Tamilnadu Election Commission for its extraordinary efforts, which they have been taking since Jan-2016 for the initiatives. They came up with many voting awareness campaigns in various medium like print, celebrity video talks and through social media to achieve 100% polling in this Tamil Nadu state election 2016.

As an additional contribution to #TN100Percent initiative, an idea came up with a Mobile App called “One Black Mark” wherein people can take a selfie with the predesigned voting awareness stickers. Also they can share their selfie with friends through major social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

What inspired to make this app!!!

• A clean and decency political ecosystem is what, everybody want. Now-a-days social media is one of the viral medium to create awareness. And Selfie is also trendy. So ti sum up all theses facts, the idea of this application came up.

Steps to use this app

•   Open the app --- Choose your sticker --- Click your selfie --- Share it with your friends and groups.

Currently this app is made live for Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry state Elections. Soon the other states  will be added and make this as a one stop app to create 100% polling awareness in India.

One Black Mark on your finger has all the capability to make the entire political ecosystem clean. Be proud to have this #OneBlackMark in your life.

Check out the android app here http://bit.ly/1YfxpmN iOS will be live by this weekend.

We are doing this just for a social cause and there are no monetary benefits and we are not supporting any political parties. If you like this app and initiative please share it with your friends and family.

The Breakfast Alchemy: Slaying your Industry Demons

Gurgaon: April 20, 2016 – Mettl(https://pages.mettl.com/), India’s premiere talent measurement and assessment organization, announces its launch of The Breakfast Alchemy, which will see top HR leaders unite to battle against growing challenges fated to plague future outcomes in their industry.

What is this 'the Breakfast Alchemy' all about

• 'The Breakfast Alchemy' is an event where top HRs will be discussing and solving the real time issues and case studies faced during Hiring. They'll also emphasize on hiring strategy in front of a live audience of 800 HR professionals. 
• Identifying the right skilled person for the company is the biggest responsibility of an HR and the identification should be done from multiple dimensions.

The unique initiative is set to replicate an Arthurian round table for the HR fraternity, enabling them a peek into multiple perspectives and possibly a foolproof solution. The inaugural Breakfast Alchemy would see premier banking, finance, and insurance leaders from big name companies such as Indiabulls, PNB Metlife, Religare, Max Life Insurance and PNB Housing brainstorm on a theme titled – Increasing High Performer-New Hire Ratio in BFSI, slated for 28 April between 10:00AM-11:30AM.

In an industry slowly becoming rife with high attrition rates and a target of negative bias for new career opportunities, the Mettl event makes a timely appearance. The case study format would see HR veterans deliberate on the issue to yield fruitful insights.


Why 'The Breakfast Alchemy' is one of a kind approach

• What makes the Breakfast Alchemy a one of a kind approach is its ease of access. In addition to being free, the event will be streamed live, allowing top HR executives, Talent Acquisition Teams, Business Partners, Learning and Development teams among other enthusiasts tune in at the comfort of their environment.
• Another thing, it's giving most HR professionals an opportunity to have an insight to the real world issues and case studies. They can watch the video in their comfortable environment also.

Mettl has even gone as far as developing a workaround for those who may find the time inconvenient, making the video recording available to all registrants post the event.


Why such title of this event

• The play of words regarding the title of the event is well intended in the hope that the Human Resource leaders would don the cloaks of alchemists to forge gold, using their years of experience, out of a seemingly defeated situation.
• 
  

The reason for Mettl's existance

• Increasing the new hire-high performer ratio by deploying custom assessments for 30+ industries has been one of the reasons for Mettl’s existence. The rigor of the Breakfast Alchemy ensures that the audience can replicate conclusive practices from the alchemists in the BFSI vertical to create parallels for a strong human capital framework.
