Doing The Right Thing !!!

When I was young, I learnt that whatever the situation, you should do the RIGHT Thing. Whenever faced with a decision, use your common sense. Having a HOLISTIC view of things around helps us make the right decision and things fit into correctly if the RIGHT Thing was done.

Today as I write, I read this headline on www.ibnlive.com

BJP MPs claim SP bribed them, show cash in LS

What is Wrong with the Politicians of India ?

Today is the day of No Confidence Motion against the UPA government for the Nuclear deal with USA. According to the information available this was initiated by the NDA government and they are the one opposing it today. What kind of logic is that?

The government has apparently reached the numbers and will probably survive.

But what about this Claim? Don't they ever think that whatever they are doing is being watched the world over?

I was reprimanded by my college professor for being over-smart to the Interviewers during the college SSC recruitment. He told me that I represented the college and my behaviour might impact the future students of the college as I might give a false impression of being casual and rude to the Defense people.

But don't the politicians understand these? Isn't it illegal to defame or initiate false propoganda?

God knows what kind of morality and sense is being flaunted by these politicians?

It is time for the next generation of leaders to be aware that every action of theirs will be scrutinized and remembered by the press and the voters. They have to set an example in their deeds, action and will.

Time for Youngsters to Take Up Politics as a Career !!!

Dark Knight - Exceptional Script

Wow !!! An Amazing Start to a Long Day.

When I got an offer from an my roommate Y for a midnight show of 'Dark Knight' I readily volunteered. Just a few clicks and we got the confirmation number on fandango.

How often does a new movie surprises you with Excellent Stunts, Superb Direction and Exceptional Script justifying the hype surrounding it !!!

The Dark Knight is such a movie.

Me and Four of my pals excited booked a Late Night Show for the Premier of the Movie. Imagine the Time 12:01 am Friday 18th July.

A First Day First Show experience for the first time for us in the US(A).

Today 18th July 2008, early morning 12:01 am the show started with the Cinema Hall filled total capacity.

The screening was delayed for some unknown reason by around 10-15 minutes but nobody moved. There was no announcement. Everyone I guess was waiting in anticipation.

While we waited I read about the Movie Hype and my friend S informed me that he had liked Batman Begins and Christoper Nolan was the director of Memento, one movie which I had to rewatch several times to understand.

When the movie commenced, each and every person was engrossed by the Villain, the Astonishing Joker 'Heath Ledger' in a performance of a Lifetime.

The mind games played by the Joker and the way he escapes though simple was neatly handled.

Enter the drama phase and different characters introduced who in a unique way impressed themselves and carried the foundation of the story forward.

At the end of the movie there was a hearty applause by one and all for the total entertainment package of a good cinema viewing.

The four scenes which I found exciting and memorable were

1) The Conversion of the 'Batmobile' Car to a Two Wheeler

2) The Somersault of the Truck

3) The SONAR cell jamming technique

4) The Half Damaged face of D.A. Harvey Dent aka Aaron Eakhart

I can rave and rant about the movie but its late night around 4:15 am in the Morning and don't won't to be late at work so will cut this short.

Critically the length of the movie could have been less. There were times when the screenplay was deliberately slow.

As a FAN (just converted) I believe it is worth to view this movie in the big screen at least once at the earliest.

Critic Rating - 4/5

Fan Rating - 4.5/5

Are you Old ?

People say you are as old as you think you are.

I say it is absolutely wrong.

The basic thing to do with your life is to live. Live every moment of it.

How many times have I been chided by people either mentioning I am old or I look young. I have seldom being influenced by such a remark.

One thing I have realized however is that I used to live the moment and sometimes I live in the memory.

It does influence how i feel at a point in time but it is not constant.

That brings forth what I want to put in. Do you live the moment or do you live in memories ?

Both might appeal to you and both might make you feel good or euphoric.

One word I would like to put in here for you is LIVE THE MOMENT. NOW is the time. SIEZE It.

If you are living in memories, you are getting old.

Are You Old ?

Bad Tasting Water

My colleague in office Lv mentioned this season he started the centralized AC in his home yesterday.

The first blow of wind was awful to smell and his guess is there is a dead mouse which caused the stink.

Reminds me of the college cooler drinking water which tasted terrible for 3 days before it was discovered that a dead cat in the terrace water-tank was the reason behind it.

Luckily no causalities…

Reading Is Always the In Thing?

Books are old school.

I love to read. I love to learn. But what about Applying the Knowledge acquired in Real World ? Less than 1%. I believe you are the same way too.

In fact everything around us is some idea which germinated in an individual. By applying and persistently following the idea the end result is a product we see.

I don't want to dwell into why are we not applying what we learn, but want to head start applying whatever I have learnt.

I believe the heading of this blog should read and be re-written as Applying Knowledge Learnt is ETERNALLY the In-thing.

What Say ?

Unique Questions Asked To Me

There are so many questions being asked everyday everywhere in the world.

But I have noticed that there are some questions so unique that I may own them as only being asked to me.

1) How Come Your Jeans are So Crumpled ?

2) What is that bar on the wall behind the TV ?

3) Have you read "How To Win Friends And Influence People"

4) Why do you want to get Married?

My Innovative Phone

Reading about various blogs, articles suggesting features and wants from the next generation of iPhone prompts me to write about things I desire.

What I want from my Phone is

1) A Dual LCD Screen, one on the front, One on Back. One with Touch-screen and One Without and maybe with a Keyboard.

2) Lightweight and supporting at least 3.2 MP Camera.

3) Supporting at least 3G speeds with ability to connect to wireless networks in hotspots.

4) Video shooting with Sound Recording capability.

5) GPS and at least 20 GB of Memory.

6) Bluetooth support and ability to play all kinds of streaming video, audio.

7) Ability to allow VOIP calls similar to Nokia N880.

I want to take credit for the Dual LCD Screen feature and my bet is Apple will surely deliver that one... What Say ?

Experience of a Orkut Virus :-)

During the days of Mighty DOS, In My College Lab, I wrote a small pseudo-virus program disguised as a attractive looking exe file. You can guess the name.

It used to call the del *.* command and echo a "Y" which in turn used to remove all the files of the current directory.

No damage happened because of that coz that was the first file to get deleted if anybody ever ran it. Tee Hee...

Last week I got a scrap on ORKUT by a friend SS who had written a strange message and asked me to paste a javascript in the browser. When I did that.. I just a Image retrieving taking place, but after some seconds.. I realized something was fishy.

I immediately tried to contact my friend and found that he had got the same scrap from me with the same message. OMG !!!

That was totally unexpected.

It seemed the Javascript I ran actually managed to use my Google Login Token and accessed my friends list and scrapped the message in each and every one of them.

I had to painfully remove the scrap message from my friends scrap page. Whew!!!

Also guess what the script made me join 15 different Communities which I had never visited.

I hope my friends are careful about this and not get enticed by any sweet looking message.

Adios
