A few movies I may recall, where the theme was, ‘Love is blind’ were ‘Fanaa’, ‘Darr’ and ‘Andaz.’ They were of different periods, with three great artists Aamir, Sharukh and Dilip Ji.

Difference between successful and unlucky

Posted on November 17, 2021November 17, 2021 by Sunil Gera

Being a writer, I am an observant of human behaviour. I have watched many and found a few striking qualities in those who achieve phenomenon success. 1.
