Another example of dreams do change,
Plans do change,
You may not be doing what you wanted to,
But giving your best in whatever destiny made you to do is what makes you successful.

Inspiring with life lessons.
Thank you for sharing this Sir🙏

Mahindra ji…! Extremely happy to see your reply. Thank u sir.

I'm not aware of that model. But some elder people says it was "Palliard Bolex"16 mm" model…

Anyway, I feel, Mahindra as a film maker could never be familiar than Mahindra as a World class Automaker 🤣
