Smash the wall

Hey this is my first video created using After Effects. check this out and leave comments for improvement.

yes or k?

today is the birthday of one my best mates, and i was thinking about our pu-days together and how i got most of the lyrics of new songs right while he argued with me that i was wrong... like the new hit song of "kal ho naho" - 'pretty woman', oh yeah we loved that song and he argued that it was ' kudi gumao' ... ... i know i know how absurd it was but we had that argument for 3 full days and then came vachan dev, i love that guy he always had an opinion and it was 'kudi women' this time around, viola!!!! now thats was really gud... lolz!!!!! now srk can't really argue against that can he?

Time frozen TENDULKAR

I am quoting a piece on 'the' Tendulkar that appeared in The Times magazine-


 " When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.”

backfire!!!

The Landing

Everyone has something to tell, I want to tell you about my first day in Shimoga- MY HOME CITY.

I was 6 years old, my dad got a job in Yemen, he went to work for construction of an oil platform there. Since this was his first job abroad after marriage, he didn't want to leave me and my mom in Hassan, he decided to move to Shimoga, a town near to my mom's native Mattur, so that she would be comfortable here, there are my uncles and aunts to look after us, (even though i was very capable of it my self, my dad thought it was not a job for 6year old kid and made sure I have help :) :D ). The ride was fun probably the most fun ever. ( have you ever  rode a lorry? for 250 odd kilometers? half of it on the back as in few movies? shouting and waving at other vehicles passing by. and half of it on the front seat shooting vehicles with the 'two finger' gun, have you anybody? its every kids dream!!!!!)

By the time we reached Shimoga it was past 9 in the evening, exhausted from shooting soo many imaginary bullets I stepped down from the front door of the lorry and ran to the gate, I saw two guys sitting in front of the window, I went to them and asked what they were doing in front of my windows? They were Raagu and Deepu (Akhilesh and Pradeep respectively) I will always remember the years I spent playing 'I spy', spot, cricket and lots of other games with them :)

Home

I wondered why there are two words for he same thing? home-house, its just the place u live in whats the difference?

I moved to Shimoga with my parents when i was in UKG, just past the mid-terms, we moved from Hassan to Shimoga 16 years ago, since then I have moved to 5 different houses, the first one was in Rajendra Nagar, nice place i made 2 friends the day i set foot here, few more the following day I will talk about it some other day. We stayed there for 6 years then my dad wanted us to move, ha had started studying Vaastu Shastra and accoeding to it that house was not auspicious one, rather its influence was detrimental to the inhabitants so we moved, didn't bother me much we just moved a few blocks away , I had my friends and TV to keep me occupied got used to it so was it a home or a house? don't know my father told me once that house is a place to live and home is when u live in it. So whats the deal?

After 30 months we had to move to another house after the contract expired, my god i was glad i was leaving that place, didn't ever make me feel good. the next place was a better, we were for the first time moving upstairs, i always wanted to stay upstairs, the house was an adventure it had all these places to climb into :) I always liked to do that, it reminded me of my first residence in Shimoga. after some time I got bored of the place, so the next time we had to move I was very exited, now I had an opinion and a desire, I loved new places and it was wonderful new house new people new friends!!! new things to do... but still it didn't make much difference just the usual bore dome before I get used to it, I thought I had the question answered, where ever u live is a home you can call it anything isn't going to do much difference, then we moved to the place we are staying now, this was a very good place, the feeling was different not like other houses we had been in, I wonder I didn't have to get used to this place, there was nothing to get used to actually, since the owner of the house we were in before was a real jerk we were happy to move on, now after there we were asked to leave again, now they need the house for themselves hey ve a BIG family hence we are asked to move on.

It was annoying to get a new house, none were suitable for the Vaastu standards, and finally after 40 days we got one to our desire and have to move. Just the same thing again I thought!! but not so, now whenever I think of home I get this place in mind ( It was the same for other places too) but the thing is I was happy to go to a new place then, but now its hard to accept that I have to leave this place, there is something nagging, something bothering deep inside, then it came to pass!!! Now I was leaving my home.

The extraordinary 'WHY'

Why, we hear so much of it. Why do we hear so much of it?

Why is it that we always have a question to ask?

Why can't we simply take in the things? Why can't we understand just by looking? listening? by taste smell or touch?

Why is it that we are driven so much to ask question?

Why is it that we have to ask? can't they just give the answers by looking at us?

Why do they even have to answers? whay can't it be just another statement?

Why can't things stay the same?

Why is it that change is not always gud? or is it that just a perception?

Why can't we think of an answer ourself?

Why doesn't there always is an answer?

What is next?

What is it that we want?

What is the reason for anything? is there a reason for everything? (tough i act as it does and always try to 'figure out' there is always a contradiction in self, a doubt that lingers on..)

Why what?

Why why?

Why can't we ask how instead?

How it happened? how to make it happen again? how to stop it from happening ever again?

How will the future turn out?

hmmmm.. know this is on everyone's mind right now.

then it comes out again ... why can't we be sure of it?

why is ther always a choice?

why there isn't an obvious thing to do?

why can't we be sure of what to do?

like a king's son is supposed to take care of his father's kingdom, a business magnate's son has to shoulder the responsibility of his father's empire.

what are we supposed to do?

build an empire? conquer a kingdom? or just work our ass off in an IT company?

why is it that we always feel that grass is greener on the other side?

I was damn gud in bio shud i have been a doc? a biologist may be?

hey i am incredible at logic and analysis too does that make me a gud programmer?

I can argue like I am possessed and i can convince anybody, am i a candidate for a lawyer?

I have a fervor for justice shud I be an administrator?

I am a gud critique any takers for that?

I am sure most of us can come up with a plethora of traits, the question is which to choose?

why didn't the doc just stamp me on butt and predict what I would be gud at and stamp me with a label declaring my 'Destiny'?

atleast i would know what to do.

like some great mind once said - pursuit of happiness is a chase for a lifetime. but what is happiness? having more than enough to spend? a loving family? something to do, to occupy you always? or is it doing what you love all the time?

what to pursue? what will lead to all of these?

I am sure all of you have these on your mind, i just wrote it out for you. Its easy to advice others so may be trying to answer me will provide you with an answer!!!

ciao :)(
