Rating: (Ok)

After a long time i had been to a movie. The last one i saw in theatre was Munnabhai II. I hoped this film to be good as it was a priyadarshan film. Early in the morning, I had read the reviews of the movie in Times of India, it was not encouraging .
The movie is a typical Priyadarshan film with his favourites cast in the movie, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a remake of a Malyalam film, the 1993 'Manichitrathazhu'. Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a slap dash cross between suspense & comedy - there is a lot of psycho babble and then there is a lot of plain babble too. The first part of the movie has comic scenes. The second half is more of a psychological thriller. The plot revolves around a cursed house in which a couple comes to stay after 65 years. Askhay Kumar, a psychiatrist, is at his best in comic role, but Paresh Rawal is wasted in the movie. He has a short part to play in the film.Vidya Balan has done jsutification to her role and has acted better than her last film "Hey Baby". The last 15-20 minutes belong to her and she has made the most of it. The rest of the cast is boring and the acting is also average.Shiney Ahuja is average in his part, but Ameesha Patel is a total waste in the film. She should now stop acting i guess. Rajpal Yadav has done justice to his role.

There are a few scenes in the movie which are totally hilarious. The first one is the "maun wrat" scene by paresh rawal and his wife along with asrani. The next one is the entry of Akshay kumar where he is in a total sadhu's attire. The next 5 min there after are too good. ( My best scene ).

Bhool Bhulaiyaa is NOT an out-n-out comedy movie as its trailers suggest. It’s a thriller narrated in a very entertaining way.

Self Management

This is an expert taken from one of the sites....

You are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Learn to accept total responsibility for yourself. If you do not manage yourself, then you are letting others have control of your Life. These tips will help "you" manage "you."

Here is a list of things that help you in self management and which will in turn lead you to the path of success: -

-) Look at every new opportunity as an exciting and new-life experience.

-) Be a professional who exhibits self-confidence and self-assurance in your potential to complete any task.

-) Agree with yourself in advance that you will have a good attitude toward the upcoming task.

-) Frequently ask, "Is what I am doing right now moving me toward my goals?"

-) Do it right the first time and you will not have to take time later to fix it.

-) Accept responsibility for your job successes and failures. Do not look for a scapegoat.

-) Do not view things you do as a "job." View all activities as a challenge.

-) Use your subconscious mind by telling it to do what you do want. Instead of telling yourself, "I can't do that very well," say, "I can do this very well."-) Give yourself points for completing tasks on your "to-do" list in priority order. When you reach 10 points, reward yourself.

-) Practice your personal beliefs. It may be helpful each morning to take 15 minutes to gather your thoughts and say a prayer.

-) Make a commitment to show someone a specific accomplishment on a certain date. The added urgency will help you feel motivated to have it done.

-) Practice self-determination, wanting to do it for yourself.

-) Believe that you can be what you want to be.

-) Never criticize yourself as having a weakness. There is no such thing. You are only talking about a present undeveloped skill or part of yourself that if you so chose, you can change. You do not have any weakness, only untapped potential.

-) Be pleasant all the time-no matter what the situation.

-) Challenge yourself to do things differently than you have in the past. It provides new ideas and keeps you interested.

-) Talk to yourself. A self-talk using positive affirmation is something that is common among all great achievers. They convince themselves that they can accomplish their goals.

-) Create your own "motivation board" by putting up notes of things you need to do on a bulletin board or special wall space. It is an easily visible way to see what you need to work on. When an item is done, remove the note. Also keep your goals listed and pictured on your board.

-) Stay interested in what you are doing. Keep looking for what is interesting in your work. Change your perspective and look at it as someone outside your job would,

-) Establish personal incentives and rewards to help maintain your own high enthusiasm and performance level.
