The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada is a movie that inspires me quite a lot. The first time when I saw it, I felt more convinced that even if our work is not exactly how we expect it to turn out, as long as we are dedicated and do our work with sincerity, we will get recognition at some point in time if not immediately. The movie consoles me many a time when my mind wanders often to thoughts that make me think that my career has no future in what I am doing now.

Yesterday was yet another hard day for me; my manager forever asked for updates, questioning or rather interrogating every task that had to be done and not even noticing the work that had already been done. My manager would ask me to follow up on so many things at the same time and I sometimes wonder whether I am doing his share of work too. I was so frustrated that I had a frown on my face even when I got back home and started working from my laptop.

The Devil Wears Prada was being shown on TV that evening. Occasional glances at the scenes that I had already seen in the past started looking different to me. I could see myself in Andy Sach's shoes being ordered by her boss Meryl Streep. The movie calmed down my frustration and I said to myself, "Just keep going, girl!" Don't let her/him stop you!' It was quite a coincidence to see this movie on the same day when I could relate to most of it.

Meryl Streep was just awesome in this movie!
