A hectic Sunday...finalising a lot of things...even my horoscape says this is the best time to shape things and near completion..

I have noticed most of us believe the horoscopes only when they show us promise...isn't that weird..but then, that's human nature...

Okay, slaughter me for this...yes, the three of you..my perennial cheer-boys..but I have just officially declined the Times of India, Goa...over certain family considerations..but anyway...talks are on for something more meaningful...and i guess that will surely shape up..

And then, im yet not jobless...i have another very honourable offer at hand...but, since the deal is yet not done, i cant write about that more...you see like you need to be discreet at times...

and specially, im telling from experience, when i do things clandestinely they work out better..irrespective of the nature of it...in placements too, you tend to fret when lots of people know what you've been aiming at..

I guess that's the sheer pressure of expectations..when you do this secretly, nobody knows even when you lose, and may be thats what gives you that extra leverage..

So im almost through with this one..they want me to turn up to Delhi for an interview..but judging by the number of calls, and even detailed talks over price issues, and their willingness to accommodate all of that, i guess thats just gonna be perfunctory...the interview..

They are already talking about the nature of beats and all...
But then again, i have considerations at my end..and this time im really playing it slow..like i said this wont be my second innings..this will be very much a new innings, but with the zeal of a first timer...

Anyways..lets see how this one goes...i have noticed one thing over recent times...im acting pricey..and im also having the guts to turn down A rank offers over the same..like not many know i turned down the DNA in january...this year..although its another matter i wasnt really looking for a job-shift then..it a happened without planning, and i quoted a mighty sum..

and didnt relent at all...okay that was fine...but even with ToI, when i really needed the job, i stood my grounds...and eventually clinched the deal at a full 58K more than what they had offered at ACJ..

Suddenly im having a lot of pragmatism..heard Mads too is acting pricey..she wants full 5 crores per film..something which the present leading ladies too do not command..

Have the two half-wits stopped reading my posts...god lord..they were such a pain...
