The New Gateway Of India
The Mumbai’s T2 Terminal Will Soon Open For General Public. It Is One Of The Most Beautifully Designed Airports.
The Airport Is Inspired By India’s Warmness And Open Heart And Diverse Art. Western Airports Are Cold And Steel And Glass – But This Airport Is Different.
The Best Example Of Differential Thinking Is The 3Km Art Wall With More Than 7000 Pieces Of Art ! It Is One The Biggest Art Museum In India – But You Will Need A Boarding Pass !
The Jai He Is Another Innovation. The Airport Is Inspired By Dancing Peacock – Peacock Is India’s National Bird !
I Admire The Management And Project Execution Skills Displayed On The Project. The Entire Airport Came Up With Minimal Disruption To The City. Most People Never Saw The Airport Being Built. The Most Common Question Is That How Did They Do It? We Never Knew Such An Important Airport Was Being Built Without Disturbing Anyone?
The Stories Of Negotation And Cajoling With Different Stake-Holders Is Worth Of A Business Case Study !
The City Of Dreams Deserves Such A Wonderful Airport ! It Is Indeed The New Gateway Of India !
See It !

Sufiaana Magic @ Sarkhej Roza
Ahmedabad is celebrating the Heritage Week. A number of celebratory events took place and one of the most interesting was Sufi Festival @ Sarkhej Roza. Organized by Craft Of Art, this was an very engaging and memorable event.
Sufi Music has become very popular in recent times. The packed audience at Sarkhej Roza was a testimony to this popularity. People braved the cold winds and the distance to enjoy the divine music. It is an encouraging sign for sure ! Creme le da creme of Ahmedabad brushed soldiers with true blue fans of music.
The beautiful venue provided the perfect backdrop for the Sufi Festival. Sarkhej Roza was all lit up and looked like a bride ! Sarkhej Roza is one of the most elegant and unique architectural marvel of Ahmedabad. It is an wonderful example of early Islamic architectural culture of the region with influence sof Persian, Hindu and Jain features to form a unique style.
The evening was hosted by popular Film and TV Actor Anup Soni. He quoted Shaayris and Quotes liberally. His definition of Sufi was one where the aritst, audience and Almighty all become One. Sufi is celebrating ‘Andar Ki Kaynaat’ and killing ‘Bahar Ki Buraai’. Sufi is celebration of unity with Almighty and pain of departing with Almighty.
The evening started with renditions from Anwar Khan Manganiyar from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. His amazing performance left us spell-bound. It was followed by Bickram Ghosh’s fusion on tabla. The highlight of the evening was of Warsi Brothers’ Sufiana renditions. ‘Allah Hoon Allah Hoon’, “Deewani”, etc moved the crowds.
Audience wanted the show to go on. Because of time restrictions, all performances has to be curtailed. Each ARtist should be given atleast an hour and prime performances need even more – Something that regularly happens at Saptak.
The Sufi music and Sarkhej Roza Backdrop are indeed a magical fusion. Waiting for the next edition !

Jobs: The Genius Is Missing !
Jobs Movie is a big letdown.
I am an Apple fan. I am a Apple consumer since early 2000s. I have been interested in Steve Jobs, his leadership, his presentation skills, his innovation. I am aware that he was a flawed and an eccentric character. I loved Walter Issacon’s biography. Naturally, I was doubly excited about Jobs movie since its announcement – it married my two interests – Apple and Movies.
Jobs movie captures only some moments of Jobs’ eventful life. The events are also given a passing reference. Jobs life has a perfect screenplay, which is not exploited fully.
Apple produces glamorous products with story and magic around it, Jobs Movie does not !
Steve was a great marketer and a greater businessman. He had a strange ability to spot magic and push people to innovation. He rallied the troops at Apple and made it the most valuable company in the world. This is not captured in the movie.
I found that Woz was made to sound like a comical character – a second rung side-kick. Sculley episode was totally underplayed. The Lisa part was not given equal justice as well. The way Woz was cheated, or stock options denied to early members, making of Macintosh etc could have been effectively exploited. The dialogue between him and his designer at the end sounded very very fake and gospelic. You see that funny episode and other small moments like parking in disability spot.
Many people expecting to see iPhone, iPad and other stories will be highly disappointed. This is outside movie’s frame. So is his cancer episode. For non-tech masses and many emerging countries, the context will be missing.
The movie does not do justice to Jobs. It has many parts of his life but sum is lesser than parts. The movie could have been in the same league as The Social Network to become a business case study for leadership and technology business. It is not !
The genius is missing in the movie.
