A STUPID TELEVISION... ITS SUCH A PAIN WATCHING THE NEWS FOR 1 HOUR CONTINOUESLY.... HUH!

DREAMING ATTROCIOUS ATONEMENT - REPOSTED

From within the silent shores
comes a screaming call
from a voice well known
An attention captured!

In the stormy night
where thunder roars
A sudden spark lits
The darkness broken!

Recalling my memories
looking back to shadows
That staring broken gaze
A story re-opens!

Some unanswered questions
certain unaccepted answers
two confused blazing eyes
Their sad spark noticed!

Drops of mist, the dew in them
falling upon me through my soul
A dusty wind blows a flash
Some vision fades into illusions!

Retracing the paths of past
falling back I shatter apart
encountering a painful truth!
A mirror witnessed!

I often doubt If I'm worthy
of what I had been blessed of
Confessing to my heart
A Dream concludes half way!

NOTES - I had always been hesitant to share any visual philosphical poetry at any public meduim right from childhood but have written ample ammount of strange verses, whose actual sense I believe that only I understand! In short they are poetic blunders but some mystifying words and nothing more... this one seems to be just one more like that! :D . mirror metaphor. is the key to this poetic piece actually!

ts a poem based on a dream... where i saw myself... drenched in rain...on a cold night... standing in a lonely foggy street....
suddenly a voice comes and i turn around... i feel i have heard it...i see two eyes in the dark corner of street.... i see sadness in them...i see red tears in them... and then i see that its shinking hard on me,...i go close... and when i reach the end of street...in the end is nothing... but a mirror....
--------------------------------------------
its was me...those eyes were mine,that voice was mine,that sadnedd was mine... i witnessed a mirror... it was attrocious... which means cruel...as i saw myself in a very sad broken shattered state... it had atonement... which means "pashyataam in hindi", meaning regret.... about something...i become awake and dream breaks....thats the end of poem
--------------------------------------------
now see the pic again.... in the blog with the poem...ul understand the whole poem

The Poetic Accents::DREAMS

yet not life is so apprehensive,

not so clean.........not so with enigma,
not so fancy on which I go naive,
still I view a second life.
a life so bitter like sorrows of bush,
so tasty like poems of mine.
my fellows...my queens,
my family....my real dreams.
all meet me every night,
under my eyes in my dreams.

P.S.:This was the first poem I had written on "Dream" theme and posted @ www.poemhunter.com on 9/7/2008 . Not such a big poem this is. Just posting to initiate the label DREAMS on this blog. I know all of us can write under this label!!

DISTINCTLY YOURS,

NUMEROLOGY:CHECK OUT WHAT YOUR NUMBER SAYS

ENQUIRY AND some blogging tips

This is dedicated to all my friends who have started blogging with this blog and learning things here too :)

@ Saruabh Bhaiya's following question -

Dear Pulkit,

Does any of your friends have a Vista operting system.I want to remove a software from my laptop but could not find the add of remove programs application in the Control Panel.

Also tell me how can I send a link of the posts which I have published to friends etc. just as you used to send links of your earlier blogs to me.Also if I want to upload a photo/picture with the text, how could I do it.I was not able to find anything as upload photo on the blog.

-------------------------------------------------------------

1 -

U followed our good old process of Start\Settings\Control Panel\Add Remove Program path. So U clicked on Start button and from there I was able to see "Settings" menu option. U clicked on that and saw "Control Panel" menu item. So far so good. Now U could not see any logo with "Add Remove Program". So I advice that u do some dig around and noticed that the new menu item or control panel item is named Program now.

After you click on "Program" item in next group of icons/options you will see option named Installed Programs. That one will give you the list of currently installed programs on your machine.

Next task I wanted to do was remove an existing program from the list. Now I am missing our good old Modify/Remove button. Since MS is doing all through windows explorer so obvious place was to look under File menu. And thats where you will see Change/Remove menu option. Use that to uninstall or modify current install of the programs.

And if you are looking for Add/Remove Windows Components option, that has been named to Windows Features. Following snap shot show what you will get if you click on Windows Features icon from previous image.

And if you are looking for Internet Information Services (IIS) related components, then you will find Internet Information Services entry in previous image and you can configure those components from that. Following image shows what that configuration entries may look like.

The Cyber World

The internet or world wide web founded by Tim Berners Lee has brought about an information technology revolution and has made the world a smaller place by bridging the communication gap.It has also made our lives convenient by providing a host of services.Also one can enrich his knowledge and keep himself updated of all the latest happenings across the globe at the click of a mouse.
But the dark, ugly and evil side of the internet is far more dangerous and harmful for the society than the benifits available from it, and has wider ramifications.
Internet pornography has grown to alarming levels during the past decade.Thousands of pornographic sites which provide salacious, vulgar and obscene content in the form of videos, texts, animation and pictures are very easily accessible to appeal to the prurient interests of the viewers.It is having a very harmful impact on the society and specially the adolescents.It also encourages one to deviate from normal behaviour and commit crime.
Though many countries have enacted laws to deal with this menace including India which has framed The Information Technology Act, 2000 to deal with pornography and other cyber crimes.It has not proved much effective.
The steps taken by China in this regard are laudable and it has taken the lead in dealing with this problem.
The Government has setup a department called The China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Centre [CIIRC] which acts as an internet watchdog and has shut down more than 4,000 pornographic sites since January, 2009.It has even asked all the computer manufacturers to pre install an internet-filternig software called 'Green Dam Youth Escort' from July 1, 2009 before selling their products.The software would block pornographic sites and images.
It is high time that other countries setup similar departments and emulate the Chinese model in this respect and also impose similar restrictions on wap sites accessible through mobile phones so that one doesn't get trapped in the 'web' of the world wide web.

AWESOME ANIME VIDEO - 1 (bryan adams)

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THIS AWESOME VIDEO :)

Role of Media in Society

The Fourth Estate is an important pillar of our democratic system.The press enjoys freedom under Article 19 (1) (a) of the Constitution of India [Freedom of speech and expression] and should exercise this freedom in a responsible and proper manner so as to best serve the interests of the society.Freedom of the press reflects the very essence of the political liberty of a nation.But it seems in the present times the press [Electronic Media] have transgressed all limits of this freedom.They are behaving in a way, which, instead of serving their needs, are proving more harmful to the society by acting in a manner prejudicial to their interests.
The electronic media [news channels] have completely deviated from the purpose for which they are meant and it seems they have forgotten the meaning of the word 'news'.They are now the playing the diverse roles of a marriage counseller, investigative agency, legal consultant, policy maker and what not! They even intrude into the lives of people by interfering in their private affairs and showing them on television under the guise of airing it in public interest and public good.They thus invade the right to privacy enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
What interest of the society will be served if a couple sitting in a news studio are resolving their matrimonial disputes with the help of a news anchor? It is in a way undermining the position of the Courts, the conciliators meant for the purpose, marriage bureaus etc.
Though every fundamental right is subject to reasonable restriction in the interests of the society and the nation, it is hardly exercised in respect to the press.
The media vows to evolve a self regulatory mechanism every time a hue and cry is raised against this type of conduct.
The time has come that the Apex Court lay down certain guidelines for the conduct of the press and the media so that they may behave in a responsible manner enjoying their freedom in the right earnest.

In Raahon Ki Duriyaan

On 25th June, music of the most awaiting Imtiaz Ali(JAB WE MET) movie "Love Aaj Kal" released. The album has few good songs."Twist"is fine song(I'll recommend you its remix version...more foot-tapping!!). Another good song is "ajj din chadhiya" which is typical Rahat Fateh Ali kinda stuff and worth listening.Still I like the following one.

This one will remind you 'tum se hi" from JWM.(I have written this line and now you people gonna criticise the song haha!!)

**Song :In Raahon Ki Duriyaan**

ye dooriyaan..
ye dooriyaan..
ye dooriyaan..

in raahon ki dooriyaan
nigaahon ki dooriyaan
humraahon ki dooriyaan
fanaa ho sabhi dooriyaan

kyun koi paas hai
door hai kyun koi
jaane na koi yahan pe

aa raha paas ya
door main ja raha
jaanu na main hoon
kahan pe

ye dooriyan..

in raahon ki dooriyan
nigahon ki dooriyan
hum raahon ki dooriyan
fanaa ho sabhi dooriyan

ye dooriyan..
ye dooriyan..
ye dooriyan..

kabhi hua ye bhi
khali raahon pe bhi
tu tha mere saath

kabhi tujhe mil ke
lauta mera dil ye
khaali khaali haath
ye bhi hua kabhi
jaise hua abhi
tujh ko sabhi mein paa liya

tera mujhe
kar jaati hai dooriyaan
satati hain dooriyaan
tarsati hain dooriyaan
fanaa ho sabhi dooriyaan

kaha bhi na maine
nahi jeena maine
tu jo na mila

tujhe bhoole se bhi
bola na main ye bhi
chaahun faasla

bas faasla rahe
ban ke kasak jo kahe
ho aur chaahat ye jawaan

teri meri
mit jaani hai dooriyaan
begaani hai dooriyaan
hat jaani dooriyaan
fanaa ho sabhi dooriyaan

kyun koi paas hai
door hai kyun koi
jaane na koi yahan pe
aa raha paas ya
door main ja raha
jaanu na main
hoon kahan pe

ye dooriyaan..
in raahon ki dooriyaan
nigahon ki dooriyaan
humraahon ki dooriyaan
fanaa ho sabhi dooriyaan

ye dooriyaan..
ye dooriyaan..
ye dooriyaan..

This is a soft song in the voice of Mohit Chauhan.Of course music director is Pritam Chakraborty(who else??).

P.S.:Just posting it for warm up on this blog..:). Lemme know how is it!!....HAPPY BLOGGING!!..:)

PARAMVEER SAINI

Is Micheal dead?

waked up at 10, this morning, the very first visual that I saw on television was shocking and sad as hell.
Micheal jackson submits to death!

I sob silently for about 5 minutes and then immediately went in my room and play "dirty diana", and I have a smile on my face! for some unknown reason... Did He ever died? Did janis joplin, kurt cobain, jimmy hendrix ever died? I guess... No! these people have made themselves Irreplaceble on The span of time... from the very moment these souls make their mark to the every day when even a single song of their plays in some CD player or a radio show, They Live on!

I thought how hard it might have been for Micheal to everytime move out from his home for the past decade when he was just being joked about in so many videos, and talk shows !! I feel it all is one big disgust this very moment..

I know that death of WHACO-JHAKO is just an illusion, an outer layer thats on our television screen but he was immortal, he is immortal and would always be that....

One of my earliest memory of encoutering his work was in class 3rd, about 10 years back... tapping my foot to the song "Black or white", I dint knew that time that It was a MJ classic! Then My love for Michael reached its epicentre when My brother gifted me "MJ- Number ones" on my birthday when I was in class 9th !! That is one of my most treasured cassetes still in my collection!

and My list of his favorite songs...

Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough"
"Rock with You"
"Billie Jean"
"Beat It"
"Thriller"
"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett)
"Bad"
"Smooth Criminal"
"The Way You Make Me Feel"
"Man in the Mirror"
"Dirty Diana"
"Black or White"
"You Are Not Alone"
"Earth Song"
"You Rock My World"
"Break of Dawn"
"One More Chance"

Interestingly, some of Jackson's bigger hits such as "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and "Remember the Time" were absent from the collection, while "Break Of Dawn" was present on all editions, despite never being released as a single.

First two are 80's and 90's based theme classics... but particularly for those who believe that MJ had forgot everything after 98, then pls... listen to the track "BREAK OF DAWN" and then ul know, he still had a gr8 deal of music in him....

may god bless his soul and may he finds solace in the arms of almighty whomsoever he was trying to search while switching religon, a few months back... may he witness the same faith and rest in peace! may his fans and family gets the stregth to bear this immense feeling of loss!

Today thinking about him , I recollect the lyrics of one track by him...

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

In the 1990's, though, the technology has changed, no country guitar style, acoustic or electric, is truly out of date, and new ideas continue to flow.But stilll this guitar hasn't lost its charm and other genres also picking up rhythm from it. Well there are so many artisits who used it,i should say that almost evry artist used this guitar for his recordings,so no need to mention the name and each one who played this guitar is simply great in his own way.

FIDDLE::

Fiddles aren't just for grannies and cowboys! Even though fiddles are often used in country and folk music they are played in almost every style of music too.
Fiddles and violins are the same instrument - violin is just another name for the wood instrument. The fiddle belongs to the string family.
The main instrument used in Celtic music and Irish jigs is the fiddle.You don't have to be a genius to play but this is one instrument that requires a lot of coordination, skill and musical ability.The main instrument used in Celtic music and Irish jigs is the fiddle. Natalie MacMaster is a very popular Canadian fiddler. The Irish group of musical clones, The Corrs, are always fiddlin' away. A young fiddler from Canada's Maritimes, Ashley MacIssac, took fiddlin' to the next level by combining it with techno and pop music
.

Well these are some of the typical country music instruments that are used in country music that make the melody more soulful.Country music is beautiful just because of the coordination of lyrics and the instruments..There are other instruments as well like drums,Bass and electric guitar but these instruments are used in almost evry genre so need not to mention that.Hope you all will like my this article and will try to listen to the country songs n try to rematch the sound of instruments i have told you about.

At any point if you want to ask about anything regarding COUNTRY MUSIC,just ask me.

KEEP ENJOYING HERE ..

Food for Thought

Winning and losing are a part of life.No person who is successful in life has achieved that position without facing failures.Failures only encourage us to perform better next time.There are ups and downs in every field be it education,entertainment,music or sports.But it seems the frenzied crowd in India does not understand this.There unruly and uncivilized behaviour reflects this every time the Indian Cricket team loses a match or tournament.They resort to wild and belligerent method to show their anguish.These range from burning effigies,taking out funeral processions of cricketers,garlanding their posters with shoes and blackening posters with shoe polish.This kind of behaviour is highly deplorable and against the spirit of sportsmanship.One should realize how does the cricketers feel when they see this kind of behaviour from the citizens.They have put their best to win and this kind of behaviour from the countrymen is demoralizing for them.Australian cricket team who dominated the cricket world from 1999 to 2007 winning three world cups in a row, put up a very poor show in the recently concluded T-20 World Cup.But did their countrymen received them in such a way.Srilanka who was the runner up in the tournament also did not get this kind of welcome after returning to their country.Those protesting in such uncontrolled way should put themselves in the shoes of cricketers.They should understand how does it feel when someone protests in such wild manner over their failures.

A FEW GOOD MEN - MOVIE REVIEW

SAW THIS MOVIE FOR THE 6th Time in total and second time in hindi this afternoon on U-tv Binbass Movies... The best performance of Tom cruise that according to me...!! though I havent seen BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY which too as many say was his par excellence work! jack nicholson, one of my fav ever was as fabulous as always!! and the climax sequense is a masterpiece in itself! a hindi movie called shaurya was its adaptation but I have not seen that yet, though I am sure it would not be even 10% as good as the original

PLOT was as follows....

Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), son of the late Lionel Kaffee (who held the positions of Attorney General and Navy Judge Advocate General), is an inexperienced U.S. Navy lawyer who leads the defense in the court-martial of two Marines, PFC Louden Downey (James Marshall) and LCpl Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison), who are accused of murdering a fellow Marine of their unit, PFC William T. Santiago (Michael DeLorenzo), at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.

When Dawson and Downey are later arrested for Santiago's murder, Naval investigator LCDR JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) suspects that they, who were top-class Marines compared to Santiago, were carrying out a "code red" (a euphemism for a hazing procedure by which a Marine who fails to keep up to standard is "trained" by other members of his unit until he is up to it).

Kaffee's plea-bargaining methods would have prevented the case from ever going to court and causing embarrassment to the Marine Corps and potentially mar Col Jessup's chances of advancement, since he is being considered for the position of Director of Operations for the National Security Council. Kaffee has never even been to court (except as a defendant when his driving license was suspended) and thus can devote himself to his passion of softball. He also lives in the shadow of his late father Lionel who is considered one of the greatest trial lawyers of his time.

MASTERPIECE IN ITSELF - THE FINAL COURT SCENE -

In court, Kaffee questions Jessup and produces circumstantial evidence that does suggest that there was never any intention of transferring Santiago off the base. When this proves to be insufficient, Kaffee confronts Jessup regarding the incompatibility of his ordering Santiago's transfer (ostensibly for his safety from hazing) with his assertion that he ordered that Santiago was not to be touched and that his orders were always followed. When Kaffee asks Jessup point-blank, "Did you order the Code Red?" the judge announces that he is in contempt of court. However, Jessup cannot resist the challenge. Kaffee exclaims "I want the truth!" and Jessup declares emphatically, "You can't handle the truth!".

Because he defends his country, Jessup does not see why Kaffee, who has never seen action, should question his methods: "I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said 'Thank you' and went on your way." Santiago's death "while tragic, probably saved lives." Pressed by Kaffee, "Did you order the Code Red?", and furious that he has to hide what he views to be necessary conduct, Jessup bellows "You're goddamn right I did!"

The film was nominated for four Academy Awards:

Best Picture
Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Jack Nicholson)
Best Film Editing
Best Sound

ROCKET SCIENCE - movie review...

a couple of minutes back on HBO , I finished watching this movie ROCKET SCIENCE...
which has again made me think that how amazing and unique is every second hollywood movie that you land up on! I mean... from where the hell do they come up with unique concepts every now and then!!

this movie was though not that entertaining as the promo trailor promised in afternoon but still a decent one! the acting performance of the lead actor was no less then brilliant and the sound track was awesome!

let me tell you what the PLOT WAS ....

Life is not easy for teenager Hal Hefner of suburban Plainsboro, New Jersey. His parents have abruptly split; his older brother, Earl, is a budding obsessive-compulsive who pushes him around; and he has an unpredictable stutter that makes high school an exercise in embarrassment, self-effacement and terrible lunches. Given that his active mind and quick wit tend to be obscured by his problematic voice, Hal is not an obvious candidate for his school's high-powered debate team. So it comes as a complete, though not unwelcome, surprise when the team's star member, the hyper-articulate Ginny Ryerson, approaches Hal on the school bus one afternoon. The Plainsboro debaters need a replacement for Ginny's former partner, who dropped out of school following a calamitous performance at the New Jersey State High School Policy Debate Championships the previous spring. Ginny, who can compress an eight minute argument into ten seconds without breaking a sweat, dropping a word, or botching a barb, proceeds to present her case for Hal's potential as a public speaker. She has seen Hal, she has seen his promise. Hal is more than just shocked, or even dazed; he is smitten. As the notion of debating takes hold in Hal's mind, so, too, do thoughts of the attractive and dazzlingly confident Ginny. Gambling that his voice will cooperate with the rest of him, Hal joins the Plainsboro High debate team as Ginny's partner. Trundling back and forth to her house with his ever-growing pile of research, Hal starts to see new possibilities in his life. The road ahead holds many twists, turns and bumps for Hal; despite his best efforts, people and circumstances prove more unpredictable than any stutter. But Hal rises to the occasion, and in doing so he scores a victory that has nothing to do with winning a debate--and everything to do with finding his voice.

GO ENJOY THIS PROMO AND CATCH IT UP AGAIN ON HBO if it gets repeat :) tc god bless!!

COUNTRY MUSIC-AN INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone,I am Nikkhil Verma.I hope many of you know me but in case if I am stranger to you so here I am extending my hands of friendship towards you.First of all just want to thank my brother Pulkit who introduced me to this world of blogging and gave me an honor to post the best of my knowledge about different things here.I firmly believe that if you have knowledge about something you should always share that with your friends.As they say in hindi that "vidhya dhan sarva pradhanam"...so its always share a part of your knowledge with the one you know and even with them whom you dont know..

This is my first post to any blog and I am trying to acknowledge you all with the best of my knowledge about the most beautiful genre of music and that is "COUNTRY MUSIC"

COUNTRY MUSIC:It is said that the birthplace of country music or in simple words the place from where country music was originated is Bristol,Tennessee in 1927.There was an engineer called Ralph Peer who set up a recording studio there as a work for his engineering and later to check how does it works,he asked Jimmie rodgers and carter family to sing some songs ,who later on became the first stars of country music.They were the people who worked in rural areas.There was a mill worker,Fiddlin John Carson who was asked by Peer to sing in his studios.He sang some old familiar tunes.The early country music was recorded by Victor records.later on Peer and Victor records started to find some new artist who can sing in the same style and beingin countryside they named this tyle as "COUNTRY".

At the time of Great Depression rural people were forced to move towards urban areas ,they carried away the country songs and country music with them to urban areas,there also it was new to the urban people and when urban people heard the country people singing some typical tones they also named it "country songs"

"BARN DANCE"was a radio programme started in 1920's that gave popularity to the country music and people started loving this genre of music.Although that time some genres that are so popular these days were not into existense but people were more into classical music of the era.From 1940-1950 Atlanta Radio station gave popularity to country music.

The country music was gaining popularity but it was the time when there was a need of performing country singer,so there it got HANK WILLIAMS,who brought honky-tonk ethos in the mainstream of country music and became the popular star,,during 1960,CHET ATKINS
was on fire as a great country singer followed by ALAN JACKSON in 1980 and then came the neverending flood of country artists who put the country music on the zenith of popularity.
Few country artist who make the world of country music so popular are::

These artists have contributed their best in making country music so popular,in my next posts i will bring in the information about some of the best country singers..

till then keep smiling. :)
