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

A MUST WATCH AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE in case u havent watched it yet....

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

LETS BEGIN... (official BLOG posting from 24th i.e. tomorrow)

Hola everyone,

I launched a community for RJ Malancha on orkut and then one for more community (personal friend club) there too with my blog name as its title, those who had been a part of those must have knew what those places are upto! we had amazing time there and we still have a blast there at times... I am blogging for the past one year now! And from july as I complete my one year at blogsworld I would like to start this very venture! I was a regular member of many radio shows that came on AIR once and still I listen to them but not regularly, we share great bonds with some strangers there through dedications on mails on shows like YAFI AND JFU and soon those strangers became friends and then later family, Here on this blog... many of them are a part with me too being one of them! we all know each other very well now and are much much sure about things related to each other then what we were about 2 years back! and here is one more step forward to recluster ourselves to reinvent the relish the friendship of ours! and along with that we will expand our friend club(with our known other frns...just as we use to do that time) and keep growing together :)

Its not my blog... This blog is for everyone who is a member of it!

This not exactly is a blog? Or rather, this is not just exactly a blog... then what is it and what is a regular blog are two questions that comes up .... let me answer the second one first!

Wikipedia defines the BLOG as follows!

“A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog")[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.”

Now...

lets go to the first question that what is this... if this is not a regular blog...

Those who have been regular on this orkut community... knows that each of us is bonded with net of friendship and that is a driving force to start this venture and nothing else! I am doing social blogging on Writer's louge and let me be very clear that this is no social blog! There on louge, you have rules, you have guidelines, you have to be regular, you try to be read by as many as possible etc etc... but here its nothing like that!

This is just about communicating with each other... talking, discussing and sharing! Sharing what? Anything! U read something... U watched some movie, U saw some news... etc etc ... anything that u waana discuss with us! This is for that! For example... we have kartikey with us! Starting his journey as a blogger... who dont give a shit about what blogging is... but I bet he has great insight about rock and metal artists... infact far more then any of us! Lets hear about all that from him and see... how much we get great info about songs, and artists that belong to his genre of likings!

Then there is Adi, a politically aware person, a sports lover, a cricket follower... let this be a medium for him to speak his heart about things he feel!

Then there is param and ekam, both who have been bloggers and are still there with fabulous personal blogs but they too wud agree that posting on personal blogs is a hectic job! U write something, u check it, u find pics bla bla! Cos its ur own and u have to read comments and answer them... and that too everything professionally while this is something thats PERSONAL! (in real sense) its just the expression! The way u want to put up! No TRP! No page rank improvement methods... we wont be seeking out for new readers etc etc purposefully with out work, instead we will try to bring so many old friends here if possible...for example malancha and other people whom we miss as some of our old ranibow clubs are broken due to irregularity! so.... what are we waiting for? Lets begin!

Always remember here to ....

• talk anything you want to

• read other people's piece of intrest and gain as much knowledge as possible about stuffs that you never know

• try to develop intrest in other people's hobbies about which they will possibly write here

• make friends! Those who are new specially them....

• share experiences about everyday issues and problems that you face and make writing a habit too, it always help!

• Explore and keep growing... research on things that u want others to know about... share them!

• Find awesome songs, videos, pics etc etc from around the web... and share them!

• Join this community if u want to discuss things related to blog ( there is no need as such... kyunki yahan pe toh discussions will be there too )
  

Thats all for now! The last and most important thing that I want to point out to you is that.. as we will move ahead... if there is anyone in ur family and friends that wants to join this blog then the family would surely invite him or her... but the point is that motive of being here should be a growth as a person and a commitment to friendship! I know many awesome bloggers but I havent invited anyone here cos I think they are all fake at some extent and this place belong to all known people... who exist! No strangers here !!

hope everything is clear... please note again that this was just a starter and not rules or something :P

I am not boss or something... everyone is equal here!

(By 1^st of july we shall be finalising the domain name... and template for the time being... do let me know... if u find some intresting... better then this one!)

tc cheers and god bless! POST IT IN COMMENTS IF U WAANA CROSS question ABOUT ANYTHING IN THIS POST.... OKIES! :)
