We’ve all sat there during our college days when past students, the alumni, came and shared their stories with us of their college days and how their education at that particular institute helped shape the person they became.  They probably even mentioned the professors who encouraged them to be more than their best, which became one of the reasons for their present day success.  But imagine if you in the future went back to your college, as somebody famous or were part of something that everybody knew about and shared your story of your path to success?  Can you imagine how enraptured the students would be of your story and the kind of motivation you would bring to them to follow in similar footsteps? 

Almost everybody in India is aware of the recent blockbuster Baahubali and has witnessed the magic of the story, the acting, and the amazing visual effects and animations.  As young adults wondering what career path to choose or the perfect college for you, an offbeat career in the growing field of animation and VFX, could hold the keys to the your success and happiness.  Reliance Education, which proudly produced 4 students who went on to work on the recent blockbuster, Baahubali, were part of the magic of the second and final concluding part of this movie franchise.  By enrolling in their VFX and animation short term and long term diploma programs, you can equip yourself with skills for the software used in the industry such as, Nuke, Mari, Modo, the only certified center for these tools.  

So instead of doing the regular engineering, lawyer or doctor programs, join Reliance and start your career in animations or VFX and have a more successful and rewarding career than your collegemates/schoolmates.  Be a part of something magical and come back to share with students your unique journey in the field of animation/VFX.

The best part about watching blockbuster movies, like the recently released Baahubali 2, is seeing the first show on the first day on the big screen. The magic of the audience combined with the magic of the movie, is a feeling that simply can’t be replaced by watching it at home on your TV.  I recently watched Baahubali 2, along with millions of other people around the world and fell in love with the characters and the movie.  It wasn’t simply the acting, sets, graphics or story that made me fall in love with this movie but all these things combined, which dragged you into their world and left you dazed when the movie ended three hours later.  

The thing I loved most about the movie, along with countless others, was the genuineness of the characters of ancient times.  The kind of raw masculinity displayed in the movie combined beautifully with the softness of femininity made you fall in love with the characters.  The display of feminine strength combined with the gentleness of the females made you realize the true meaning of the word Woman Power, which unfortunately many of us have forgotten today.  The same can be said for the raw strength of masculine energy, which Baahubali displayed, combined with the gentleness and softness he portrayed with the women in his life that he loved, is something the men of present day know very little about.  The director was able to tap into the innocence and sincerity of the ancient times to tell a story beautifully woven together with modern graphics and visual effects that made the movie appealing to all age groups.  There were those who were attracted to the beautiful story, the group who was there for the stunning visual effects and finally the individuals there for the action in the movie, of which there was plenty.  

The combination of all these elements is what made the movies, Baahubali 1 and 2 blockbusters.  The vision, creativity, skills and talent needed to bring together such a movie can only happen under a gifted director. Film making is something anybody can learn to do. But making great movies is not something that can be taught. It can be developed, along with your passion, which will propel the need to learn and develop the skill, unless you are one of the gifted few individuals who are born with this talent.  Regardless of whether this is a natural or developed talent, learning to make great films is something that requires dedication, sincerity and a great school with an outstanding program that can teach you everything you need to know so that you can become and make great films such as the recently released, S. S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali.

The first computer bug to be found was in September 1947.  You will be surprised to know that the term bug was termed with the discovery of this bug, a moth, which was stuck in the machine.  The role of a software tester can lead to either making or breaking a company.  There are several examples in history of companies losing millions of dollars simply because something as simple as a “-“ was missing from a program.  Failures in proper testing does not just lead to loss of money but loss of lives also.  For example, when car brakes are not tested properly and it leads to the loss of life.  The job of being a tester is no small task and it is a job you can take pride in, knowing that your ability to adequately test the software will result in either success or failure.

So the next time you hear of a company losing millions or a car or satellite crash because of a slight error that was not caught by the quality testers of that company, remember that could be you if you do not take your role seriously and completely dedicate yourself to the task, sincerely.  Take the necessary steps to learn and develop the skills to become an expert software tester because, while the number of testers are many, the number of talented and skilled testers are few.  So, take advantage of the lag in this field and build your skills and watch your earnings soar as a software tester.
