Losing...

People are frequently prone to coughs, colds and various other things but I doubt I am one of the few who are prone to losing. Recently I lost a gadget which I was using very frequently and this is not the first time that this is happening. I have a pretty long history on these lines. I'm telling you losing is a very sad and depressing feeling. This is experience talking here.

I seriously have to find a permanent solution to put an end to this callous botheration. Maybe I should do it the way the children remember what they have been told to, i.e., by writing it down and checking the written materials every now or the other option is to UP the security like the U.S.A government to keep my effects safe for example using some chained wallet and safety pocket for the mobile.

Hopefully, I'll implement it strictly and hopefully start to be more careful about my effects.

Please wish me the best. (It'll count, I'm sure of it)

A few sketches...

Free Hugs

A movement, where any body gives a hug to a random person without any reason, just to make a person happy by which they could brighten their lives. It was created by Juan Mann, an Australian, with the main aim of spreading happiness, joy and belief in one's self. Recently a group of guys and girls of the age from 18 - 25 held a campaign on M.G.Road, Bangalore which supposedly spread the awareness of how much a hug can change a person.

Hopefully I could join this group as early as possible because I completely believe in it. Once I get more information on it, I'll surely enlighten anybody who needs to know.

Keep Connected and give a hug to someone today. You never know, it could suddenly change someone's life for the good.

Advertisements

Advertisements are by far the hardest medium to tell a story. In an advertisement, the production team has to tell a 15-30 second story which will captivate the audience into buying the product they are advertising and I am telling you. 15 - 30 seconds is a very less screen time to narrate a story.

Working a simple story is the only way out and the toughest thing to do in story writing is writing a simple story. This is because amateur story writers will always look to justify themselves (as to what they have written) in the story which will in turn elongate the whole story.

I don't understand why, but in India, advertisements aren't given that much importance. It's very odd to see advertisements (very bad ones) come on the Indian channels very frequently. The best that India came out with must be something from the MTV or Channel V India production studios.

Recommended Ads to be seen are from MTV international. They've got amazing ad's.I'll put them on once I find them online.

How Ironic

When a shooter wins a gold medal in the Olympics, he is paid Rs.3 cores from the government of India.

When a commando shoots at a terrorist and in the cross fire losses his life for saving his countrymen, his family gets Rs.5 Lakh from the same government of India.

Continuing

I've got some comments saying that the previous post was too long and boring, so I'll try and make this short and interesting. Hopefully it'll work out.
As the night passed I try to catch a small sleep but no. With all the blabbering and all the nonsensical things going around you, I bet you can't make it through the night sleeping until and unless you’re a real tight sleeper.
The next day, all of the guys were up and out with our art materials by around 7.45 A.M. Most of us found a place for ourselves on the sides of the road and started sketching the beautiful, mind blowing and amazing scenery right in front of us. By around 8.30 we had our breakfast after which the buses started honking for its ride which was planned to start in a few minutes. Our next stop was on Talacauvery, a temple located on top of a hill and the birth place of the famous river Cauvery. Once there, we served our time with the god and went onto the tip of the mountain. The uphill walk was tiring and exhausting but once on top, you get a heart-stopping,over-whelming and mind-tingling view. While on top, we felt a completely different feeling and with the clouds passing through your legs, articulating that is never possible.
We stopped over on our way back for lunch in the lodge and then we were off to a palace which was also on another hill top. The road to this treacherous mountain was disgraceful and horrid. At some points of time, we actually felt that the bus wouldn’t make the curve and on other moments, the burning tire smell always irritated us.
After reaching the palace, we find out that it was utter crappy. It would be as simple as my ancestor’s home right now. But some of the guys and me made the best use of time reaching there. We got ourselves a carom board and then we got ourselves involved in a game of volleyball alongside the locals of the area. It’s pretty fun to play and enjoy, especially in that whether and area.
By the time we left the area, it was dark. On the way back to the lodge we stopped over at some hotels for dinner.
The tradition continued to pursue with no one allowing the good guys like me, obviously, to sleep.
During the night some of us got sleep enough to keep us alive the next day.
The next day was our return the Bangalore. Stomachs were starving till around 11.00 A.M where we reached a good hotel. The quantity of food was large and quality of the food was also awesome but the service was slow. After our mid morning brunch, we headed back in the way towards Bangalore. On the way back, we stopped on Abbhey Falls after which we headed back to Bangalore. The falls was like any ordinary falls.
We reached Bangalore at around 9.30 P.M and most of us were back home by around 11.30 P.M.

The Study Trip

Well the faculties and the management conducted a study trip to Bhagmandala and its surrounding areas. The tight, well thought out, planned trip started of for me on 27th November, 2008 at around 8.15 A.M when the bus booked for the trip arrived at my stop. The departure from my stop was around 8.45 A.M because of the usual delays of students not arriving on time. The bus took of and in the bus started the chit chatting, which eventually grew louder and louder as the journey continued.

Our first stop was around 10.30 A.M and by then we reached Kamat Lokaruchi. The food was flavorsome, mouthwatering, appetizing, scrumptious, yummy, juicy, and succulent and they exceeded any expectation anyone had. With our stomachs full, we continued our journey. At this point of time, the games started beginning. On one side of the bus were fun games and on the other side, games like chess and different games of cards were being played. It was very intriguing, interesting and actually made me so enthralled that I didn’t even know that we covered around 130 Km. Our next stop could be called a pit stop considering the main aim of this stop was to attend to some major nature calls.

And we were off again, back in games mode. We made a quick stop for lunch at some faltu hotel in Hunsur. The place reminded of the days I was there with my parents, grand parents and uncles and aunts. My mom is from Hunsur.

And of we were of them there.

The duration till our next stop wasn’t that much and before knowing that we reached, we were already there. The place where we arrived at was called Tibetan Colony and the name of the place suggests it all. It is a colony holding the Tibetans. The architectural design of the place resembles the architectural design of Tibet and Indians also seem to look like tourist over there. Quite an achievement to make in India I must say.

The guys started clicking photos right from the point they put the foot down on the place. The major tourist spot of this place is the Golden Temple of Buddha. The temple is filled of various ages of monks and in the temple sits 3 huge, massive, gold plated Buddha’s. It's a beautiful unexplainable sight and you must go there to experience it. The guys kept moving in and around the place buzzing about the people, the location and the beautiful views. Our next stop was toward the market area which was about 500 meters from the temple. The market area was pretty small but had a lot of variety and mainly depicted the culture of Tibet. I managed to pick up a bell to which if you revolved a wooden stick gives of the sound of the scared chant 'OM'.

The bus was horning out loud basically to get out of that place as quickly as possible. It was late and dark. We were out of there at around 8.30 P.M and as the journey to our lodge continued, most the guys were falling asleep like bowling pins. We reached Hotel Mayura, Bhagmandala at around 9.30 P.M and thankfully they were pretty happy to keep some food ready for us. The food was not that great but anything is OK at that point of time.

After the dinner, some of us went out for a night walk. In that dark and lonely road uphill, god, that was a walk which I wouldn’t try to do it again. On the walk, we were basically making fun of every odd character that we knew. We were back within 45 minutes and straight headed straight into the dormitories where our bed waited for us. Unfortunate for me, the other guys in the place weren’t that cooperative into allowing me to sleep.

Does it give the Sin City Look??

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Quiet a movie I should say.

Shah Rukh carried out his character way more than exceptionally. Anushka Sharma, who looked very cute throughout the entire movie, did a pretty neat show but it was Shah Rukh all the way. Vinay Pathak also was quite a surprise in the whole movie.

Talking about the movie on the whole, it had too many dialogues. The music was not so great and the cherography was very simple which added to the aura of the film. I felt the camera angles and shots taken during the starting sequence and whenever it came towards the Golden Temple, were beautiful. The movie's story always went in a see-saw style with the humorous acts every now and then, but when it went slow it became totally boring.

Overall if you watch the movie, then watch it for Shah Rukh Khan. I would rate it a 3 out of 5.

Film Makers are very good Liars

I have come up with this theory that film makers are very good liars.

Films are always a lie (If I am wrong, there’s always the comment’s dialogue box) and the better you can tell a lie, the better the film does on the chart list and only liars know how to tell a lie better.

Pretty Cool eh!

PS: Please don't take me seriously. This was just a joke.

Analyzing Films

Yesterday and today, our college management arranged a seminar for the students of the course and the seminar was conducted by Mr. Anil from Chitra Kala Pratishat in Bangalore and the seminar was basically about analyzing films and appreciating them. The seminar was pretty fruitful in its own way, as in, the lecture given was very confusing but at the end of the day something new was known to us.

With me, it was this new field called video art, which I am very interested in. So along with my ongoing research on fotomation I will surely make a note of looking up on video art and as and when I do I will surely keep you updated.

And please if you do like performance, drama and film(not commericial films) try catching up with this film called DV8 Physical Theatre's 'Cost Of Living'. Here is the trailer and please share your views on these type of movies.

A take on the Indian Government System

Just last week was the Mumbai's Terror Attack, which many people also call as ' India's 9/11'. Right after the attack was neutralized, a list of politicians were forced to resign on the grounds of neglecting the intelligence which were received in advance or acting negligently while the whole attack was taking place.

I have one question here, how is the resignation of politician going to help the situation? It only proves the fact that they are cowards who are scared to face the problems and find solutions to these problems.

I have one more question, why do we have politicians of such stature who don't know how to face and solve situation more effectively? Why that is in U.S and the U.K, government personnel should have at least a year of military training before getting the post in the government? I am very sure that if our country's home minister were a military personnel or a ex-military officer, he could have handled the situation in a much more professional manner.

I very much think that the whole government system should be revised and I hope that such an action is done as soon as possible.
