a small effort to document my thoughts

Movies and messages

Movies are really good when they carry messages which transcend generations. Following are the movies which I saw recently and impressed very much. More over I want to add the message they carry alongside.

Cindrella Man — Passion and determination doesn’t have age

The Pianist — Passion never hides at difficult times

The Pursuit of Happyness — Self-belief with persistent effort never lets down the person

Life is Beautiful – Smile at your difficulties, they will be no more difficult

Nacho Libre — Belief in dream leads a person to it

The Shashank Redemption — Hope is a good thing irrespective of the place and condition

Horton Hears a Who — Respecting things even though how small they are

My Sassy Girl — Giving respect to other’s feelings

These kind of movies give great advantage for the person who doesn’t have time to read good books by delivering a great content within 3 hours.

More of these kinds of movies should be taken to help shaping the human race. Hats off to those who took these efforts!!!

I & Me

Today I had my Technical Communication class. Even though feeling little uncomfortable about my English fluency, I made myself ready for it. The class started off with simple personnel introductions. Then the instructor asked everyone to write about themselves. I felt really bad about it. Because I always always have confusion about me. So, I am started like “I am a simple person….”.

Its really a difficult task for if someone asks me “Tell me about yourself”. Its like self appraisal. I always afraid of telling something too much or too less. Because I never like boastful things about me.

Now also I am really amazed by “Why I am writing this post?”. Might be because I am concerned about my social status.

One interesting trivia: The Instructor told that my essay had too many “I” !!!! :)

Some times some music some thoughts

When listening to some songs i often felt my thoughts traveling back to those days. I don’t know whether it happens to me only or to all. Each song takes me to those days when i started listening that song. It gives really nice feeling while my thoughts traveling back to those days. It’s like living in those days till the song is playing. I like to name it as Song traveling :) .

Sometimes I am really amazed of this, how come music would have formed in this world!!! There must have been (a person) / (persons) who took enough patience / passion to listen around the wonderful sounds made around him/them and tried to transfer that experience generation over generation. Thanks to that/those person(s).

Social responsibility!!!

Its a kind of ODD word for many. Because it takes a lot of courage to be socially responsible. It starts from the point of closing a improperly closed tap on the roadside, re-throwing the waste inside the dustbin. Many takes the advantage of these social activists (i don’t like calling that way) thinking “if there are people to do this why should i do”.

If we are in a society, we should do something for the society. Closing a tap might not be a good example of social responsibility. Switching of the light in the morning might not also be a good example. But small drops only makes a big ocean. If we don’t consider the drops, one day we will lose the ocean.

The advent modernization has blinded our eyes by its attractive colors. Earlier days (say 1980s) when a person goes for a shopping he use to take a wired bag or a cloth bag to bring the things he bought. But today many never cares about taking bags while going for shopping. Because many malls, departmental stores are started giving very attractive plastic bags. Sometimes it may be a convenience, but not for a long.

FOLKSONOMY!!!

In my web 2.0 class the industry guy told that the current & future of web will be “FOLKSONOMY”. For the people and by the people makes it more crisp. In this modern era of Web, the service providers became the medium and the people became the owner of the content on the medium. This FOLKSONOMY made the way for many social web services. It is really a healthy trend. There is more views of any topic available on the web.

Kind of different background i want to emphasize here, in my college all of my friends use gtalk for chatting among friends within the campus. The interesting part is : all their feelings and mind thoughts are reflected in the status message they put. Some times it used to funny, at exam times it used to be inspirational :) .

Some of the messages i enjoyed :)

“Don’t show your attitude, you can’t tolerate mine”

“Let there be light”- and there was light. I wish god had also mentioned drinks and dance.

“life is not easy…especially when deadlines are so close…”

“Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.”

Like this the web opens the gateway for many fresh thoughts. Hail Web2.0!!!

Driver’s mind status

Sometimes the bus travel gives different experience.
Now the topic i wanted to share is the speed the bus travels

The speed of the bus depends on two main factors 1. driver’s mind status 2. the bus’s ability

The driver’s mind status plays a important role in a bus travel.

If the driver is bored of driving he never cares about reaching the destination in time. He never takes extra effort to do that. The passengers use to feel that travel a wasted one… in terms of time as well as experience.

If the driver is sincere he tries to reach the destination in time or with small buffer extra.

If the driver just loves driving other than as a job…the travel is a legendary experience for the passengers. He will do all things perfectly, he drives the bus as if
his own bus (meaning …considering the goodness of bus). He is very keen about his bus reaching the destination on/before time. The passengers feels very good about reaching before time, they use to wonder about the travel, the drivers gimmicks and the time they saved.

I can say the third category driver is the best & the first kind of category is the worst. The first gains time for passenger and the latter wastes the passenger’s golden time.

Important rule. You have the rights to waste your time but not your dependents’.

Confusions…

Confusion plays a great role in our life.
Lets start from this, How the word confusion would be coined? :)
In my view Confusions plays two roles as if like double acting concept in Indian films.
One confusion due to physical things. Second confusion due to mental things.
Confusions due to physical things are always or almost solvable. Say you are not sure of wearing which color dress for the day. Fine you can refer some inferences like ” I have wear this last week, so i will wear this next week”. Simple :) right.

Confusions due to mental things are always way apart. It involves lot of (if needed :) ) thinking process to arrive at a solution. Say you want to tell your friend that something is disturbing to his/her character. Will you tell it directly? You might think it over and over again. Why???? The mental confusions are not that much easier to go about; it involves the respect to the feelings of others.
Why i am so confused about confusions??? because i am confused…..

Traveling

Since this is my first posting on wordpress i like to tell about the most interesting thing in my life.

Traveling………………………………………………

I like traveling very much particularly through normal government bus. It use to stop at many towns, villages. So, we can see different people who are mentally prepared to have a journey. Now a days there are televisions and they use to play movies, songs or comedies. Which makes people busy till their stop comes.

Earlier days say 90′s there is no video playing concept and all in buses. In those days it is really a nice thing to sit in the bus which is going in some kind of rhythm. Hrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Good.

There is a lot of competition (i cant say competition) to attract passengers to the bus. The private bus service people use to do all decorative stuff to their buses.

The bus carries many thinkings, feelings. The happiest man and regretful man travel together, without knowing each other’s state of mind.

I have always noticed the journey time while going to home is not same as while coming back to working place/college. Is there really a difference in time or in thought process!!!!
