what turns you ON

remember answering this somewhere? first time when i was asked to answer this question[i remember it to be in one of the many slambooks]

i happened to think, am i a mere switch that i will be turned ON / OFF?

i skipped the question , just because i didnt know what was the exact answer.

and again i happen to encounter this on our beloved social networking site Orkut.

I saw many interesting answers for this, few wrote it as "intelligence" - hmm..true, smartness that always turns one ON and makes u get inclined for that guy/girl.

When asked one of my friend told me, " a good movie " turns her ON, very true, a good book or good movie binds you in their world for atleast 2-3hrs or some few days.

I am sure everyone must have experienced this.

for me that comes to my mind is a "welcoming pleasant smile" turns me ON.

i dont know why, but sometimes "silence" turns me ON.[may be only very few times].

And ofcourse doing something which i consider to be far above my caliber Turns me to be a 1000watts bulb.

A kind act exhibited ,changes my prejudice that gets developed especially with looks.

there are many a things in the list which i enjoy, but i am trying to make the list of things turning me OFF to a zero liner :).

I can say onething its our choice to get turned ON or OFF, atlast everything in life is a choice, we can do it or just stop thinking about it which is a matter of fact that everyone should accept.

The Prestige

how far do u go to prove urself the best?

The prestige - the movie with awesome script.

the screenplay outplays the story line for sure.I can say this as one of the best screenplays i got to watch so far.

At the end of the movie i was dumbstruck with the plot.

You keep on guessing the things , and each one which WILL be proven wrong FOR SURE.

The actors outplayed one another and even themselves.

one of the rarest movies where you see the director clearly in each and every frame of it.Nolan proves to be the best so far.

this is one movie , that u wont be regretting because you didnt get to read the novel on which this movie is based and hence proves

The director as the "captain of the crew".

I strongly recommend this movie to be one of the must watch ones.

Dont forget to watch it closely.

dreamology

what do u want to be when u grow up?
a heard this question so many times,even asked this question very recently any little angels i get to meet ..one said pilot :), more often, i feel she will go ahead and become an actress/model.
i remember answering over the same question that i wanna become a doctor :), till 6thclass when i realized my ability of drawing good diagrams. I was just awful at that.
i remember the extra enthusiasm of our poor biology teachers [unfortunately we used to have three teachers for different sections :( of same subject] to show us dissecting frog and cockroach.
yak! i hated it ,i hated the every thought of studying something an organic mass.
Only my heart knows, how much it used to pound when the very next day is an exam biology :( , i dont want to be called draggy just because i hated that subject.
the very next moment i resolved myself, i should never tell that i want to become a doctor.
Wow , i started telling that i want to become a teacher, this looks to be a better option.
you have to teach children who don't know anything ;) thats it, every simple.
but i came to know how difficult it is , when i started asking questions my teachers , which are very much logical, but they just don't know.
how i stopped asking questions to few teachers just because they wont give me a satisfying answer.

aha! life ijjj hard.

there attracted the dreamy world of engineering, i knew an engineer used to be the one who plans for buildings.
when i started telling my parents that i want to become an engineer, going a bit forward told them that i will design a dream home of our own

when any person asks me what do u do? what is the profession exactly called, i will be skeptical to introduce myself as engineer.

just think of the respect u get as a person if u r a doctor or more over a teacher.

but some home advertising industry attracts me very much, lets see how that option turns out to be.
how about doing an MBA in that? :)options are still open.
a sports person, salsa dancer ,swimmer, rock band singer/guitarist , last but the best prime minister of a country.

hmm...read somewhere that " parents try realizing the unfulfilled dreams in the enthusiasm and success of one's children" i am damn sure my children will keep me miles apart :)

Kite Runner

read Khaled Hosseini's kite runner
i am sure, one will get fascinated with the way he smoothly cuddles u and takes u in the past and makes u nostalgic about ur childhood.
makes u try hard to remember the thots u had as a child, the jealousy which creeps in without one's intention.

its the story of two children Aamir and Hassan , and goes on with the narration and thoughts of Aamir.
A beautiful tale , describing the life and horrors of Afghan and dont forget to read between the lines , how these two kids enjoyed their life!

and the life throws before them chances to live life again, which is rare for many.

i had a fascinated read through out , try out, i am sure you will also enjoy.

Magi

Magi - pronounced as "ma ji" and the meaning goes like this -

(New Testament) the sages who visited Jesus and Mary and Joseph shortly after Jesus was born; the Gospel According to Matthew says they were guided by a star and brought gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh; because there were three gifts it is usually assumed that there were three of them

as far as i know, O.Henry is famous for his irony, i could understand it very clearly just after reading a wonderful short story of his called "The Gift of Magi"
the irony of the poor yet loving life will be revealed.

such a beauty of love shown :) , hope i am not exaggerating, but felt happy reading it, enjoy if u get a chance anytime

my experiments with "majestic"

planning to visit ur hometown , shedding the work aside and taking advantage of the long weekend on its way.
and if by any chance u r planning to go by bus ,considering the distance to ur place which is not so far to go by train wasting 2hrs more.
hold on, think twice, nah think 200 times before taking the risk.
1. it will be raining at anytime here, which is as heavy as a flood.[thats the reason bangaloreans carry big bags :(, with an umbrella]
2. neither will u get an auto nor a bus to commute to the greatest place which is already named as "majestic"
3. anyway after much struggle of drenching in rain , convincing an autowala with a cost of almost 5times to reach the place, u will not reach in time because of 5km traffic jam which will snail forever.
4. frustated, get out of auto and then walk the rest of the distance to reach the place, ofcourse paying the whole amount.
5. a wonderful sight, u will get to reach a crowd 10times more than tirumala at the last hr of darshan.
6. buses reach almost 5hrs late, dont worry, anyway u will miss the bus and will be compelled to take another bus, as at this last hr there is no way u can come back to ur abode.
7. wake up, wake up! bus break down, get down the bus , reach ur place catching another bus.

above are the seven steps to reach my hometown :(
its an arduous task to get out of a place which is considered to be the IT park of india , with the worst commutation facilities and the greedy attitude of autowalas.

I dont know, why there is a government, i see the whole situation as a complete failure of the governing bodies to takecare of ppl's minimum needs.
why should i pay tax for the government , which is a very huge cutoff from my salary everymonth.

I felt like a failure as i didnt carry my camera, to shoot the whole situation and present it to media. I am waiting for another situation like this to do the same.
but who wants to invite problems and frustation in life :(

science fair

did u ever present anything representing your school in a science fair?
like the dark projects that happen with few underdogs working akin to dogs for a day of innovation in ur respective software firms.
jokes apart there is no comparision among them.

i happened to watch a movie "october sky" based a book by NASA trainer Homer Hickham which he named it as "rocket boys".
i highly recommend it to be the most feel good movie, with few wildgoose chases. Proving its the family who will be on ur side when u in ur utmost need.
ofcourse the crazy denail of ppl around you start doing something innovative/crazy ;).

I felt ashamed of myself when i saw the enthuiasm of the boys to believe and living upto the dream.
i think only few can live to their dream, uttermost importantly very rare ones have a dream conceivable.
