Issues in IT!

The Magic word – ‘Issues’
Two points:
1. If you use the word ‘Issues’ a lot or you know how to overuse it or if u can figure out a way to use this word in every second sentence u utter… IT is the place where u should be.
2. An extension of 1 is if most of the times when u use this word it is with keyword ‘no’ like ‘no issues’ then u can become a cool/bindass IT guy/gal.

Few instances to illustrate the use of it:

· u r going for a team lunch and u r deciding on the conveyance and someone asks u if they can come with u… u can reply – ‘No Issues’.
· Someone asks u for help with the code and wat to reply – ‘No Issues… I’ll help’
· U need help for ur code from someone… how to ask – ‘I have a few issues… can u help?’
· U r in a meeting to discuss few things… these things can be termed as ‘Issues’ and u can end the meeting as ‘I hope we have no more Issues’ (This is to be a cool IT guy/gal)

There r many more I can list here but I m not doing so…. but believe me this is the magic word in the IT world

When I had sent my resignation mail, I was expecting a reply stating ‘no issues’ and the reply I got was ‘Sure’ but I have ‘no issues’ ;)

In Pursuit of Happyness!

Will Smith was rocking in the movie and so was the kid.

I wont write much bcos i would recommend that u guys watch this movie if u havent, but couple of scenes i wil write about -

One is-Will Smith talks about what he thinks about the pursuit part in the declaration on independence of the US... 'maybe happyness is something that we can only pursuit and maybe it is something we can actually never have'
Another one -
Father(Will Smith) tellin his son(Kid) - 'dont ever let somebody tell u that u cant do something not even me! u got a dream, u got to protect it... ppl cant do something themselves they say u cant do it!' - true huh??

And if u had not noticed there s 'y' in happyness... so its like why happiness or why the pursuit of happiness?? To find out, watch the movie :)

I would give it 3.5/5

Work or Play!

Something reminded me of a short story which was part of the course in my tenth std.
The story was 'Tom whitewashes the fence' by Mark Twain. It is a part of 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'.

In the story Tom was given the work of whitewashing the fence by his aunt. When his friends saw him doing this they started making fun of him working on a holiday.
Tom came up with a brilliant idea of play-acting as though whitewashing the fence was a cool thing to do... even better than spending a day at the beach ;)

His friends were so convinced by his act that they traded watever goodies they had with them to whitewash the fence. And had he not run out of whitewash they were more friends who were willing to trade.
Smart Tom got his work done and got lot of goodies. Or were his friends fool to trade things to whitewash :)

Moral of the story: 'Work is something which one is forced to do and the same thing become play when it is difficult to get' :)

Nishabd!

I heard lot of people tell that they didnt like this movie because the movie was unrealistic. They could not digest the fact that a 60 year old fell in love with a 18 year old.

So wat that this sort of thing is taboo in society, i found the movie to be good.
It does not have the usual masala stuff and it would make people feel sad. Definetely it wont go well with the masses. But i would say the movie was above average. Beautiful cinamatography and direction.
The scene where Amitabh is in fits of laughter is very well done.
'jiya jaale jaan jaale, naino taale...' - After listening Amitabh sing this i just cant associate him with 'Rozana'.

Anyone going to watch this movie, dont go with a roadblock in the mind that a 60 yr old cant fall in love for a 18 yr old. :)

Blood Diamond!

The movie is about the illegal smuggling of diamond out of Africa and it revolves around the main characters as they try to get possession of a priceless diamond.

Things I liked about the movie –
Awesome direction.
DiCaprio has acted well; this is the first time I have liked him.
I enjoyed the romance, love etc. between DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly.
An Indian in the movie, Gaurav Chopra has a 2 minute role.

And the dialogue of the movie for me was –
An African boy saying – “I am Subodh* and I am the ‘Master of Disaster’” :)

* I have changed the name for my sake ;)

I would give it 4.5/5

I got it wrong!

Well done Nike ;)

Mozhi!

Language... thats wat 'mozhi' means in Tamil! and the movie is about the language of music and the language of silence!

It was the first Tamil movie i watched in theatre and was impressed by it. The movie was predictable but was pacy.
I expected the 2nd half to become sentimental... that did happen but not to the extent i had expected.
Although i would say the music was a let down for me (i didnt understand much of lyrics, i had to judge the music based on the beats :) ). Let down because the main characters in the movie are musicians.
I also learnt some sign language from the movie. ;)

I would give it 3.5/5
