Can it be really possible?

With a barrage of reality TV shows storming the prime time television, and each of them challenging the human innovation to a new level, I am wondering as to what will be extreme end of it?

For sure the shows like "Sach ka Samna" which explores your hidden desires mostly confined to the bedroom or bathroom masturbation, or the marriage in full public domain, where the people get to see the intimate details which were till now considered a private affair.

And the most interesting part of this whole drama is that they are copied from a western show.

The next big thing would be Wife Swap.

Now what needs to be seen is if ever it is copied in the Indian format, will it be digestable by the Indian Audience. I dont think it will ever cross the boundaries defined by Censor Board.

Lets wait and watch this whole tamasha.

Up Up and away

after a ling time felt like writing something for the movie I saw and I felt that the start was a lot better than then ending. It was still a kids movie, but it touches the soft corner of your heart and the brief married life of ellie and Carl. The music that plays in the background does makes you engrossed in that little world of Ellie and Carl.

One takeaway for this movie was the little "Adventure book". And one can pretty much relate to a lot of things in life which is nothing else but the so called "Adventure book".Plan for it and then there is something else coming up.Delay it and will plan later.

Well there was this piece of article about the movie which I found over the net and thought of putting the same over here. Makes one feel indeed sad after reading it.

Do I smell something cooking

Well Google wave was awesome. Or may be just another addition to crowded market space. But one thing commendable about Google is that they carve out a market space for themselves. eg:- Chrome.

Well, Apple and Google together?? Wave's demonstration used a lot of apple products:- Safari , iPhoto to name a few...

what do you think? where is the future?? is somebody scared?? Offcourse in Apple's iphone comes preloaded with lots of google's product :)

dont know where the world is heading.... And as somebody said "I dont want to miss a piece of action"

Back to the basics

Felt a lot different when I moved from my Nokia Ngage (though it was worthless) to a very basic phone which was again a Nokia. It made me nostalgic about the whole stuff (as it was the first phone I bought) and gave me a feel of how simple the things can be.

> Monochrome interface
> Very fast
> Hassle free keyboard design
> Snake game :)
> That torch on the top
> ringtones that sound very mechanical

so it serves only one purpose, the make and receive a call. Well if convergence is the future than let me enjoy some time on this very basic stuff and then I can move on. In short, appreciate the simple things in life.

R.I.P.....

History is over

For people like me , who came from small town, he was the window to the west and the western music...... My first english song that I ever heard -> Dangerous.

BEAT IT

Waiting anxiously

Looks like my childhood fantasy.

IF...

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

--- Rudyard Kipling.

I have read this poem in my 10th standard. But still today it pretty much echoes within my self. Whatever is written over there is very difficult to follow.

It can be made easy by one simple answer to all the questions one has. It can be either "Yes" or "No". And from there on its like a simple flowchart diagram with decision boxes all along.

Middle finger to all those who say..."Its not as easy as you think"

Saw long time back and Remembered now

I saw the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" long time back.(rather this movie debuted on my iPod and I found a better way of commuting to office)

I never paid attention to something very significant. Why was "Happyness" misspelt? offcourse it was intentional.

Wikipedia has a long story to say on the same about Thomas Jefferson and United States declaration of independence.

Well I found something while surfing that appealed to me a lot.

"There is no Y(why) in Happyness, only I".

Interesting musing.

Very aptly expressed

Found in one of the Rediff's discussion forum.

"If this movie had shown Indians as slum dwellers, poverty ridden, racist, corrupt and had shown Westerners as compassionate and our saviors, this would have topped the charts and won a few Oscars.
The hypocrisy of the Western scoundrels is mind blowing.
I'm not saying these things dont exist in India but to relentlessly portray only the negative side of our country in virtually every movie amounts to racial stereotyping. And frankly I'm tired of the BS."

Thanks Mr. Vijay M for echoing the same sentiments which was brewing in my mind since I saw this movie. Couldnt get words for it.
