3 Idiots Movie Review - All is well

Aamir khan has proven once again why he is the undisputed leader of Bollywood. His last release was Ghajini which was released on 25th Dec 2008 and on the same day exactly a year later his "3 Idiots" hits the screens. The movie which is loosely based on the book by chetan Bhaghat titled Five Point Someone is an adaptation that is suitably modified to satisfy the ordinary movie goers. The movie which is an outright comedy with shades of seriousness is a total paisa vasool.

Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) are the three lovable idiots who enroll themselves into Imperial College of Engineering which has Viru Sahastrabude a.k.a Virus (Boman Irani) as its director. Rancho stamps his authority in college in the first day at hostel when he escapes the ragging episode by his seniors and in return he ends up giving a shock to one of his senior.

Farhan, Raju and Rancho are room mates in hostel and they together keep the campus rocking. Virus frustrated by the trio sends in a warning letter to both Farhan and Raju's parents and when all three visit the residences of Farhan and Raju they get to know each other's background.

Virus then develops an ill feeling towards the trio thanks to their pranks and at the same time the 3 idiots come across Pia (Kareena Kapoor) who unfortunately happens to be the daughter of Virus. Pia though stubborn at the beginning slowly changes her stance about them and also her interaction with Rancho blossoms into love between the two.

When the trio complete their studies and bid adieu to college life, each individuals life takes different dimensions and when they all meet together again after a gap of few years they come across a mystery that hits them hard and how they unravel the mystery is in the scope of the remaining part of the movie.

Director Rajkumar Hirani who is also incharge of the editing has done a fabulous job and hats-off to him especially to change gears from Munnabhai series to something new. However, he has kept lots of scope for a sequel to this movie which should be rolling out soon depending on the success of 3 Idiots.

Music by Shantanu Moitra are melodious and peppy in nature and "All is Well" song has become more of a youth anthem now. All the actors have been brilliant and at the same time flawless. Special mention and appreciation should be given to Boman Irani for the body language and the dialogue delivery style in the character of Virus.

"3 Idiots" - All is Well in this comic adaptation of "Five Point Someone".

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm.

Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out.

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
