A Ponderer's Diary

There are only 24 hours in a day. Time, it's a commodity which you can't buy. It doesn't even matter how rich you are???. What if ... If you get 2 extra hours in a day??? For some people who are busy the whole day, those 2 hours will ease their minds ... For the rest who wastes the day, it doesn't really matter. People have different priorities depending on their mindsets. Some say that it is family ... Someone else say that it is career ... etc. Let's see some scenarios :- A Student:- Now that's a broad category. In student life, there are many things that are part of their daily routine. Books, Lab, Friends, Canteen, Hostel, Room, A girl/boy (More than One Girl/Boy in some cases). A student who is bothered about his/her career and keeps on studying for impending exams. Extra hours are a bliss for him/her and utilizes them for his/her only purpose - Study.  The one with a girl friend who keeps on chit-chatting with her on the phone, he doesn't

Do you know Google??? Stupid question. Everyone knows Google . Known for its search engine at first, but it went beyond & became a pioneer in the Internet. Everybody is pretty familiar with the interface of Google search engine. The following is the screenshot of the Google search in 2004. Normally, what people do is type their keywords in the textbox and then press "Enter" or click the button "Google Search". It eventually takes us to the page with the search results like this ... Search results come along with lots of Ads at the right side of the page. You can see lots of them in the screenshot. But some of us have also observed a button "I'm Feeling Lucky" in the Google's main page, which takes us right to the first link or website in the search results without the effort to surf through the results along with Ads. Many people used it as it serves the purpose of the search engine. "I'm Feeling Lucky" just tells

Today evening (Monday), After coming from office ... I opened my laptop to check my Facebook messages and Gmail, which I do for every half an hour. Next thing I do is think "What should I read today for CFA exam". Already went through hours of studying on Saturday and Sunday without any movie. Feeling saturated, gave a glance at the laptop. I realized that there is a movie, which is awaiting to get watched. Why not??? I have a weakness regarding movies. If there is a movie released with good publicity and well-known cast & becomes a flop after the release, I will still watch the movie to extinguish my anxiety (what's there in the movie???). It doesn't mean that I will watch it in a theatre. There is a problem with theatres. You can't fast-forward a boring movie in a theatre and you pay hefty money for this unwanted facility. Coming to the movie, it is titled " Mere Brother Ki Dulhan " . Casting:- Whoever did this, doesn't have commo

"Fantastic, Mind-Blowing, Unbelievable" ... This is the dialogue of Mahesh in one of the Dookudu 's trailers. Now this is what the audience are saying when they come out of the theatres after watching this movie. Dookudu - A real entertaining, action-packed perfect telugu movie ... I don't say that it deserves an award but definitely needs an appreciation.

Mr.Perfect... Super-Hit Telugu movie... Spoiler Alert:- Read this post only after watching this movie or if you don't have any intentions to watch this movie in the future. I didn't watch it when it was released in theatres. I don't remember exactly why i didn't watch a super-hit movie, That too a Telugu one. Whatever be the reasons, today i watched it on DVD. Nice movie. Perfect for a family to watch and enjoy. Even though the story seems like a Khichdi of different hit-Movie stories, But at the end it gave a totally different flavour. Everything seemed to be Perfect. But I noticed a flaw in making. It is a silly thing to notice such mistakes. But i couldn't stop myself from doing so.

. . . " Aaromale " ... This is the Malayalam song from the Tamil movie " Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa " and Telugu movie " Ye Maaya Chesave ". Both movies are directed by the same person & they were released on the same date. It was Gautham Menon , a south-Indian director who is known for his critically-acclaimed movies & Experimentation behind them. Both movies were well-received by the audience. Now it is being remade in Hindi by the same director. Prior to this, he directed a Hindi movie " Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein " , which was a remake of his popular Tamil film " Minnale ". He has good taste in music. Songs in his movies always have great music & splendid lyrics, either from Harris Jayaraj or A. R. Rahman .

Yesterday I was watching Harrison Ford's "Fugitive" movie with my friend and colleague Vishal. After the first 10 minutes of the movie, I recognized that this is the movie from which Nagarjuna's "Criminal" was made.

I just don't believe that there are still those acts of untouchability in our society, where the literacy rate is spiking year after year. But I never came across such incidents around me. Maybe it is because I live in a Comfort Zone.

             I don't know whether it is due to Security reasons or to suppress the Muslim minority, France started a ban on Burqa and Niqab effective from April 11, 2011. France is the country with European's biggest Muslim population. How can they risk to take such a decision which would lead to a social tensions among Muslim community in the country?

          Starring Jr.NTR (The Iconic star of Tollywood) & Ileana D'cruz (Always Size Zero) as the main Lead, Shakti was released on April 1st, April Fool's Day .

Disclaimer: It is better if you watch this Movie before you read this blog ... Because I may be discussing few things about this movie here, which would spoil the feel in the movie if you want to watch it later ... !!!

Hi Guyz...               To my Surprise, Today I received 550/- in my Citi Bank Account. Small story behind this. On Dec 28th, 2010, I and Chandu were discussing something. It was about some message received from PVR stating that "Use this Coupon code in internet Booking to get extra movie ticket". "How about using it today?". After the discussion, we decided to go for a movie on that evening. "Band Baja Bharat" was the Talk of the Town. So there was a 7.05 p.m show in a PVR theater. Immediately I opened the browser on Chandu's Desktop. Opened PVR site. Went to Payment page. After payment, we didn't get any confirmation screen or any ticket information on mobile. Then I checked my Citi Bank account. The money was debited from the account.

Who doesn't know about Tv9 in Andhra Pradesh ... Tv9 is considered to be the most dynamic Telugu News Channel in Andhra Pradesh. Rajinikanth is their Star-Anchor in the Channel. Even-though, His name sounds like Kollywood Superstar Rajinikanth, he's not the same person. He interviewed many politicians, officers, celebrities, etc. In his interviews, he pushes them to the edge of cliff with his questions, which makes them inconvenient, provokes them to revoke and tell things which they don't intend to. Still I saw many interviews with people, who were confident and gave the appropriate answers. But I have never seen such an interview. It was with  Ram Gopal Verma (RGV).

After living in a small and clean town, it's like a hell to live in a crowded, dirty & expensive city. Don't you Agree? Let's see ...

Mostly... People from Graduation Colleges are quite familiar with term "GPL"... Others might find it as a Awkward Abbreviation ... If U search it in Google... No use, Guys. You will find results of "GNU GPL(General Public License)". But it's not what I am talking about. It is not the one that U can Google it. U have to Experience it to know What it is . That can leave a Very good impact & impression on you. Let me introduce it to U ... It's "Gaan* pe Laat" ... Oh C'mon Guys ... Censor Problems ... I guess U understood What it is... !!!
