3:00 am . . .

Preface:


There are many situations, where you don’t believe your senses. Suddenly, you hear some sound in your room but as you look around, there hardly exists anything that might have caused that sound. Often, you feel something moving just beside you; may be the curtains in your room or a shadow. But you find nothing when you turn around. Yet, the doubt still remains in yourself which makes you check things, time and again.
You usually face such a situation during the night when you are alone in the house watching a horror movie and suddenly the power goes down. Or suppose you are passing by a dark street which is just beside a haunted necropolis at 1:00am and felt someone stopping you from behind. All of a sudden your heart beats faster, your eyes become wide open, your movements retard and unknowingly you tend to fear. You try coming out of such a situation as soon as possible and get rid of it. But destructive ideas continue to run in your mind, which is already in a dilemma and soon makes it blank, when fear overtakes the strength of your heart.
You try to divert your concentration by chanting a few prayers. But that strong inner belief reminds you time and again, that there exists something in your surroundings which might be unknown to you. You frequently check around your place to find out what that “something” could have been. Nevertheless it remains a mystery. This was a similar situation in which Dev; a 21 year old boy was trapped in.

Sardar in singapore .. :)

Three Sardarjis went for a tour to singapore. They searched for rooms everywhere and finally got one which is in the topmost floor of a 100 floor hotel. After taking rest they started for a local visit. While leaving the hotel, the manager informed them that they should reach the hotel before 10.00pm or else lift will not be available and they have to take the steps for which they agreed and went out.

After all the entertainment in the city, they reached back late at 10.30. Since lift was not available, they decided to take the stairways under the condition that each sardarji has to tell a story that lasts for 33 floors so that they can reach the 100th floor without much trouble. After first sardarji finished his story in 33rd floor, the third sardarji said," I have a sad story to say, but i will tell at the end only". Then second sardarji finished his story and the third finished his story and finally they reached the 100th floor.

Then first sardarji asked what was the sad story. The third one said, " I forgot the room key which is on the manager's table".
They once again started back to the first floor and this time the second sardarji after crossing 33 floors from top said," I got a sad story, but I will also say that at the end". They finally reached the first floor and when asked about the sad story, the second sardarji said, " The keys were in my pocket only". With anger and full tired, they once again start from the first floor.

After reaching the 33rd floor, the third sardarji said, " I too have a sad story, but I will say at the end only". Then they reached the 100th floor and the second one asked the third sardarji about the sad story, he replied:" This is not our hotel, It is on the other side of road, opposite to this".

Photocopy is to xerox ......as search is to GOOGLE

According to a web information company, Alexa, Bing has reached the 19th position in traffic ranking in just a period of one month since it has been launched. Microsoft boasts of the fact that its 2.89 million users got increased to 4.9 (after introducing BING).

Forget about everything, as Google has already got 31 million users and has been the NO 1 ranked website in terms of traffic since 2005.

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. But in just 11 years , it has reached a revenue of $ 72.796 billion , a net income of $42.27billion , total assets of $ 86 billion , has launched 19 stand alone desktop applications , 19 moblie applications and 80 web applications , making it the MOST POWERFUL BRAND in the world.

The meaning of Google is 1 followed by 100 zeroes and i guess that would be the target to reach , in terms of revenues and no of views per day, for the company.

“We’ve learned how to compete with Microsoft and Apple, but Google is a giant, of course, and competing with it is like a real tough competition ", said COO of Mozilla after coming to know that google has launched CHROME as a competition to Firefox.

"Google is not just a website for internet users , but its a habit ", said CCO ,Mudra , when asked to compare BING.

Let me list out some of the websites people visit daily.... youtube , orkut , blogger , gmail , wikipedia , picasa , google earth...Mind you , all these are products of google.

Time and again GOOGLE suprises people with its products and applications but this time the web based OS is surely going to make a revolution . . .

The "Three Basic Arts"............

I had been thinking for a long time of why exactly do people appreciate Talent? We often see someone saying "He sings very well", "That is an outstanding piece of art","A R Rahman's music rocks" , "I love watching MJ doing the moonwalk"......etc. What are the reasons behind those appreciations? What triggers them to appreciate?


Well,
The Dictionary says
ap·pre·ci·ate means : v.tr.

1. To recognize the quality, significance, or magnitude of: appreciated their freedom.

2. To be fully aware of or sensitive to; realize: I appreciate your problems.

3. To be thankful or show gratitude for: I really appreciate your help.

4. To admire greatly; value.

Psychologists say that, "Any feeling that our human body exhibits is a result of some unknown process that has been initiated in the body itself.... ". This made me think seriously and to my utter suddenness i could trace the reason behind it. Surprisingly , what the psychologists said was true .It was because of the "Three Basic Arts " , which exists in ourselves that makes us appreciate talent. Now what are the three basic arts.

They are : 1)Music 2) dance and 3) painting.

Now one can ask me,"How do these qualities exist in ourselves? How can you justify that?".

Let me explain......

Quite often we hear these words; music , dance and painting ; and we have some definition for these words stored in our subconscious mind. We term, the music produced by an electric guitar as rock music and the one produced by a sitar as classical. In our generation we have come to such an extinct where we stopped exploring new things and spend most of the time knowing the existing things. In this process we might have missed out many more definitions of music, dance and painting.

Consider...........

Music: If you carefully observe, every sound that a human ear can listen to, has some music involved in it. Every sound corresponds to a Swara (The Octaves) ,has a scale and a pitch. The fan sound has some music in it. The train running on the track has some music involved in it. Music is chosen as a hobby by many; let it be vocal or instrumental. Music can change our mood and on the other hand we select songs depending upon our mood.Music has been categorized into many genres and is appreciated by all.

Dance : Dance is a form of art which involves movement of body, usually rhythmic to music. Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans. There are different types of dances : bharatanatyam , kuchipudi , breakdance , salsa ect....
If you carefully observe, every movement that our body makes, has some dance involved in it . Legendary dancers often say that Every movement has some meaning hidden in it and they are yet to explore many more forms of dance. Dance is chosen as a hobby by many and is appreciated by all.

Painting : Painting is a mode of expression where you transform your ideas into pictorial representation.The forms are numerous: Eastern and Western art, cave painting , glass painting etc. If you carefully observe, every picture you capture in between the time span , you blink your eyes,is a painting. Leonardo's painting , Monalisa is one of the famous and most appreciated paintings in the history.

So knowingly or unknowingly we have these Three Basic Arts existing in us, that makes us appreciate talent.

Now if we mix all these three: the sound, movement and picture you get a motion picture or a movie. And so far the movies have been the best form of entertainment.


Thank you.

I will be back with some more posts. Do leave your comments if any.

Synonym for torture : "OY" , a new telugu movie

Now a days, Movies are totally messed up. They make movies just for the sake of making it.

Recently i met one of my friends named pradeep after a long time. He took me to a movie called "OY". The only reason i stayed in the theater was : It was raining outside. I really feel the director should meet Ram Shankar Nikumb, so that he would identify which problem this person has got. Mind you , its a 2 hr non stop torture. First time i felt like a double hour lecture of Mr. Phani kumar, the craziest lecturer one would have ever seen, was much much better than the movie.

Coming back to the movie , the heroin named Shamili's action was so pathetic that the person sitting behind me commented like, she still didn't recover from the mental disorder she had suffered from in her childhood charactered movie, Anjali. The director blows his own trumpet saying "there are many funny sequences between the hero and Sunil". Mind you, The hero and heroin hits sunil(a comedian) , who was tied up in a gunny bag, one after the other , and one expects us to laugh for that.

For all the terrorists over the world , please see this movie so that you would plan 9/11 amongst yourselves and kill each other. The worst thing was my friend had already seen the movie and god knows why he came again. I took my revenge by presenting him a DVD of Kambakth Ishq.
