First and foremost let me take the utmost pleasure in wishing all of you a very happy new year. Day 1 of 2010… Phew…. time is surely passing like water from a running tap..
9 YEARS… Almost a decade… and that is exactly how old DREAMWORKS is. I still remember the day I started without an office…without any props…without money..yes…I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Not to brag or boast but every single step taken to make Dreamworks what it is now,is from hard sweat and determination. My working years started when I was merely 10.. and that was with a Chinese contractor… I juggled school and work and glad to say that I made it pretty well..Boy …I sound like a cliche flashback in a Bollywood movie….
So to cut to the chase..
For those who are not aware, Dreamworks is a wedding planning/decoration organization which has brought a different perspective and level in Indian wedding industry. Dreamworks means a lot to me …it has been my baby. It was from early days of Dreamworks, that I picked up my first camera and have been shooting eversince. Our objective was to set a trend and I truly believe that Dreamworks has been the pioneer trends setters. We have come a long way and i am proud to say that we have not only planned many weddings but we have touched and dwelled in many lives as they begin a whole new journey of marriagehood..
Now for the shocking News !
Effective from 1st January 2010, we are officially closing down our services!!! This simply means that we will not be taking any future bookings for decoration ! However, for clients who have booked us for the year 2010, please do not despair. We will still be around to complete all the committed functions to the best of our abilities and to the pinnacle of your satisfaction.
This news might be shocking to some, dissapointing to some, while others might be grinning from ear to ear 
.
Belows are the reasons why I took this drastic decision
1. Concentrate on my photography
- Photography is my passion. All this while I was not really concentrating on this since most of my time was taken up by Dreamworks. Now, I can strengthen my skills and knowledge in photography and photography only.
2. Travelling
- I love to travel, and I do real life people photography. Am planning to travel as much as possible and start working on my dream project
3. Further studies
- Ha ha ha … back to school! Am planning to take up some professional photography course in overseas to polish my skills.
4. Expand my business in photography
- Due to heavy demand, I’m adding pre wedding shoot as part of my services !
5. Overseas shoots
- I’ve been rejecting overseas shoot all this while due to my commitment in Dreamworks. With this break up … I’m available world wide !
6. Better service to clients
- Speed up on post production and albums
7. Workshop and training
- Conduct classes for beginners and amateurs
8. Spend more time with family and frens
9. Healthy life style
- Start going gym and work on my 6 pacs…. He he he
10. And last not the least…. I’m Fedup …… !!!!
- Been in this wedding decoration industry too long.
- With all the dirty tactics by some… or maybe one or two competitors
- Being within the circle
- Being the victim of bad mouthing and bitching by certain squatters
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients, suppliers, co- partners, business associates, print and visual media’s and not forgetting all Dreamworks ex-staff (excluding those who have made my life torcherous – you know who you are! he he he) without you guys we wouldn’t have made it this far ,
Just a note to our fellow “ex competitors”….
I am not selling Dreamworks off. Neither am I going on bankruptcy. Instead I am just ending the services on my own accord in order to pursue and focus on my other aspirations esp in photography. So… Dreamworks is not for sale !!! Please do not use this as a dirty tactic to contra market your own business. I wish you all the best and hope that you could provide clients out there the best service possible. Good luck and Happy New Year.

All the best and I’m happy I had dreamworks during my BIG DAY!! Thanks for the great work done.
Hi Guna,
Best of Luck to you!!
Guna,
I guess this is a good decision. Handing over your baby to anyone would not be the same. It’s good that you finally found the will to let go. Have no regrets and go charging after your dreams.
All good things come to an end. And Dreamworks was a good thing and I’m very glad its ending in a happy note.
Many many many wishes and luck for your dreams.
You know my wishes are with you always.
Hugs and love,
Jana
