Sirf....the grass is not greener on the other side.

Over the weekend,we caught up on a Hindi movie called Sirf.A good one with a strong message-the grss is never greener on the other side of the fence,to make it greener wherever you are and set your priorities right before it's too late.Yeh,an eye opener for many to be happy at present.
As I embark on a work life journey,to see what it is like,to get satisfaction on being there and done that and being useful for many,I do have my priorities right and plan to be happy what ever comes my way.God ,give me the strength to go on this journey of learning,wisdom and happiness.So,never compare your life to others coz' you dont' know what they're going thro'.

Maleyali Jotheyali....superb cinematography.

Did get see the Kannada movie,' Maleyali Jotheyali',a Ganesh starrer.Awesome locales in Sakleshpur,Mysore and Kerala,superb capturing of the breath taking beauty of nature.Preetham Gubbi has done a wonderful job.Ganesh emotes well and the heroines,Anjana Sukhani and Yuvika Chowdhury are good,their makeup is too good.The songs are melodious and the best part is the cinematography.Good for watching once.The rabbit is also the brand for Ganesh whose home production this time is okay.The costumes for the girls are wonderful.Good one Ganesh.

Looking forward for more like this in the future.

Lift Karade....a nice initiative.

Sony Entertainment Television has a global cause initiative,Lift Karade hosted by Karan Johar, where in the celebrities meet their Best Fans who earn a little money for the good cause.The celebrities multiply that money 4-5 times and give a huge amount to the underprivileged to get their health right,pay their operation costs,get good medical treatment,etc. Good going celebrities,with the power and status hat you have,the good cause that you're giving charity to,is indeed appreciated!!!

I guess I caught up on some episodes of Shahrukh,Katrina Kaif,Deepika Padukone,Priyanka Chopra.The gorgeous looking stars have a kind heart too,way to go.....good Job guys!!!

Once more....congratulations RF

Federer wins 16th major!! Congratulations!!!

3 Idiots.

I did watch 3 Idiots yesterday.Superb movie,a lot of messages.--to change the teaching,grading and education system,for parents not to pressurise kids,to give your passion importance and make it your profession,to follow your dream /passion and success will follow you,to help,to be realistic,to be simple,to live in the present and not to worry about the future(all izz well),a serious message to engineering colleges who dont' provide practical knowledge,it was all mugging,by-hearting for us,true,but I hope we can change that for out future generations.

Here in the US,it's really good,no book knowledges,only practical knowledges of the real world,no text books here.That's the reason higher education is the best here and also at pre-k levels too,with real world exposure and the main reason for many to get brain drained to this place.

Hmm...wonder why I did Engineering too...I'm seriously thinking of Journalism,Photography,writing which are my passion or else event management and some people skills career.That may be my true calling.

I did relate to the movie in many ways--nostalgic memories when we used to pray so much for our results the same way it was portrayed in the movie.

Finally,all is well indeed.And success is what you define for yourself and not by others.

So,let's not be chaturs and follow our passions,--to learn,gain knowledge and power and of course not regret for the missed opportunity.Even IIMB,Bangalore looks good in the movie.

The movie was hilarious and kept us laughing our sides off.Hats off to Aamir and the team.

Would love to read Chethan Bhagath and write like him one day.

A must see recommendation from me.

Let's denounce the rat-run-race ,dog-eat-dog,mindless rote learning mentality of the institution.

No wonder it has raked in 315 crore in the 3 weeks of it's release period.

Good one!!!All izz well!!

Wake Up Sid.

After a long time,the blog restarts,procrastinated to write this one and today got some time to pen down my opinions.Wake Up Sid is a wonderful movie,I could relate to.I love journalism ,photography and writing.So,did like this movie with a strong message to today's youth---to realize responsibilities,discover your talents and hidden inner potential.

The songs are good too,liked all of them.

The movie becomes a sort of template of how Gen Now navigate their lives,deal with their own rebellions,find meaning to their own meanings to independence and handle their own set of mistakes.Refreshing and heart-warming----Times of India.

Charlie and Obama.

Too heavy to handle??

Haloween 2009.

Haloween costumes are a sure hit with these school children and my daughter was Princess Belle this year.Shrevewood Elementary had a wonderful party too.Here's wishing the Party city a good business this year!!

Diwali---lighting our hearts.

Deepavali,the festival of lights hopes to bring prosperity,peace and joy to all of us.Let's celebrate by helping the flood victims of North Karnataka.Hope the relief fund reaches them in time.

Thinking towards light --------Deepavali's importance indeed!!

Peace prize....all too soon??

Obama is chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.Obama said:I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel committee. Let me be clear I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize.

All too soon for a Nobel??
