Comedy Nights with Kapil: Gutthi's Mystery!!

Kapil Sharma's Comedy Nights with Kapil is one of the top TRP shows in India and indeed he is Indian Russel Peters. Although Russel Peters can use all the adult content he because of the audience he address but Kapil is really pulling all the strings with his work. 

But the fact is that Comedy Nights with Kapil is not his show completely and i believe all will admit that fact. Multiple Characters like Ali Azgar as "Daadi" and Shimona as Kapil's Wife etc are really playing their role well to keep the show running but on top of everything is the character of Sunil Grover "Gutthi" which every Indian Audience loves to watch. Even his popularity reached such and extent that even is Kapil is not in the show people would love to watch it if Gutthi is performing all the time.

News is there that Gutthi has left the show, because of some contractual or monetary Issues. No one knows the exact fact but the story behind the scenes is that Kapil Sharma is dating Preeti Simoes, who happens to be the director of the show. So obviously she doesn't want the popularity of Kapil to go down and so the only solution would be Kapil or Sunil and obviously its Sunil who had to leave the show.

Now even this news is also under scanner because there is another news which says that Kapil and Sunil are performing oversees and in arab countries together,  so if any such rivalry would have existed they wouldn't have been performing anyways. I don't know how colors is going over all these things, because it could be publicity stunt for some time and in due time Sunil might be back but as per the news they are in hunt for new Gutthi who could take the place of the original one but in my views old Gutthi will remain in hearts of all.

But the best thing about this business is that, Sunil will be hired by some other channel to perform and who know there might be one new show on the way which is : "Comedy Nights with Gutthi".  And again Audience will be at ultimate benefit because they are going to have something new to watch and show will go on.

Start of An End of Music Career

Life is indeed fun if spent with Music and laughter. And when you think back about those time, you feel really proud and smile for great time you had. Such a beautiful Musical evening happened back in 2007 at my place , when me , Adi , Saurabh and Sahil got together to enjoy singing. That was the time we started our career in Music, although we are nowhere now in that field except Sahil but yes those memories are worth living. We might not be good musicians, but we love to sing. Watch it to smile.



Bug Bash: How to have Fun with Testing

Testing is fun and i am realizing the power of testing now when i can see the real difference it is making in making a successful product. Without testing, you can never assure a quality product. And no matter how much arguments we make, we will admit it one day.

People consider testing as boring and less competitive because they think that it doesn't have that opportunities which other fields of software development cycle provides. They just do it as a very monotonous way and slowly they start loosing the interest in that completely. Testing is fun and one such fun event is called: Bug Bash.


What is a Bug Bash 


Software development defines bug bash is a  event or where all the testers, developers, infra, leads, project managers,analysts, designers, senior managers, documentation folks or even directors or particular division and  last but not the least, sometimes marketing people, put aside their regular activities and strike the product simultaneously to get the as much know how about the product as possible.


Some good reads for testing:


How to Organize Bug Bash


An event like these needs to be declared well in advance so that proper arrangements can be made and the test scope is sent across to the concerned people and then testers assist them in setting the resources properly to work on it. Tester will also help them in understanding about the bug. 

The event can be done for as much time as you wish, but generally test management have it for around 1 hour or so which will keep the interest intact. The event can be followed by prize distribution where employees can be awarded token of appreciation for finding the good bugs. Which further can be followed by drinks or snacks as per the availability and just to get it social. 

I arranged in a proper manner, a Bug Bash can be a very successful and a very interesting event where employees will come to understand the system better and it is really helpful to see that how system handles the load when so many people together are using it and at till what time it can sustain before going down. Teams can also sit together after the event to understand what has been learnt and how the system can be improved. Also they can explain their experiences and exceptions from the system. 

Bug Bash is a fun and useful exercise and at the same time least expensive which can come out with potential problems in the system. 
It proved to be a rather useful, inexpensive, fun exercise which could flush out potential problems and give everyone more confidence in the system-under-test.

So can I assume my selection?

Interviewer: ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. You are welcome in to our family. Your current position will be a project manager. We look forward to working with. Thank you.
