Dasvidaniya – Ten things I wish to do

I saw this film Dasvidaniya. That was a week ago. I cried. I cried many times during the film. Thank god there was no one at home. I was alone. Otherwise it would have been an embarrassing situation for me. In this society there is no room for men to cry. There are rooms for all other things including smoking room but not for crying. I am going to watch this again in an hour or so with my family. I better search for black glasses.

I don’t want to review this film. I can tell you though it’s a must watch. This year has been the best year of my life in terms of watching good films.  This is the third film I cried in the single year. Earlier it was just one movie way back in 2004. I’ll write a post regarding this separately. I have to fill this blog one or the other way.  :angel:

So it’s been a week I watched this movie. But I am writing now. That’s because of this post by L. V. Subramaniam in short LVS. Nicely written post which connects the last wish in the movie with the martyrs of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. And I was also thinking of writing my ten wishes till I say goodbye to all. You can laugh if you feel so. Continue reading →

Which Social Network to choose??

Every blogger, every webmaster now knows the importance of social networking. They are the prime medium of traffic to your blog or website. If you want your blog(lets stick with blog) to be popular then have a good network in social networking sites. This traffic may be perennial or for a short duration.

The advent of large number of social networking websites suggests that they know their importance on the web. Every now and then a new website comes up with little variation from that of original one. That little variation may be sufficient to make it popular. Though this doesn’t happens always and these sites vanish six feet under after a year or are sold to other networks.

With so many choices it is very difficult to choose which is the best one for you? Which is the best one for traffic? I was in the same confusion as you are. But lately I came to know that if you build a good network then any site will do good for you. More the friends you have more traffic you get. So don’t hesitate to make friends.

Out of  the many I registered I have focused myself now on Digg and Twitter. Digg is the mother of all social bookmarking sites. It has gone wild lately due to the way popular topics are showed, still it’s the best. Twitter is the latest trend and it’s hot. My twittercounter will show you how popular I am. I am still in the building stages of the network. It’ll take 2-3 months more to get established. My blog is yet to get success from both the sites. But I am sure that it will come one day.

After all this I would like to repeat the mandatory sentence that you read on all blogging related sites. Focus on your content because it is the best way to get attention. If you have good content then you’ll get popular the easy way.

Talk to me

Talking is an art which makes us different from the animals. We can talk and animals cannot. Actually they can but we don’t understand their language. I don’t know Chinese. That doesn’t mean that they are animals. Whatever language it is, we talk. That is the prime medium of communication. We express all the good and bad (I’ll not use ugly) through talking.

Talking involves two persons at least. That way we are able to share our views and ideas. We share our happiness. We share our sorrows. This talking helps us to know the other person. Relations are often founded by the way the other person talks. Looks and other things come in second. Sadly talking also leads to break-ups.

What about talking to yourself? Do you ever talk to yourself? I’ve seen persons who talk to themselves. Not just in their minds but they churn out the words through their mouth. What we think about them is they are crazy. They are mad. They need psychiatrist. What we don’t know is all of us have this habit. We talk to ourselves.

This happens when you don’t have anyone to share your feeling with. Like I said we talk to share happiness and sorrows. We reward ourselves when we do a good job. “You were f*****g great man!!!” Isn’t that what you say? I don’t hesitate to say that i do talk to myself. Almost everyday. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have anyone to share my feelings, but I don’t want to share some things. When you talk to yourself you try to pull the pressure down. It’s good. Don’t hesitate to talk to yourself.

You can read the following article related to this topic. I thought of posting this to stop people calling me crazy. Hey!! I am not crazy.

Does talking to yourself means you are crazy?

The wind and the winter

Winter is here. It will be here for four months, celebrate Christmas and New year with us and then go on a eight months vacation. What I like about winter is that it cools down all the thing around. Baked by the October heat, I was eagerly waiting for this. For the last few days I am feeling winter. Now I am waiting for Santa. Few days to go now.

With winter falling of leaves starts. Some actually divide the season into Fall and Winter. I am not a poet or a novel writer. So winter it is. Trees go naked after shedding their leaves. There is no censorship for this. If one tree looks ugly then other looks beautiful after shedding. It’s like comparing Big Momma with Jessica alba. The fallen leafs have their own beauty. I love to stand below a tree and watch a leaf falling. Going left… and then right… swirl… to the ground.

When this happens I feel the presence of wind element. Wind starts dancing with the leafs. If observed carefully it looks better than what we dance. (Dance?? No. Not me.) What I like about wind is it takes a fallen leaf from the ground and takes that towards the sky. Like a true supporter who keeps faith in you, guides you, and make you taste success.

Have you ever tried to do this? Have you ever supported someone who fell??(Maybe over a banana peel) and that too without laughing at him? You may have done that with someone in your relation. not with anyone else. I cannot tell you to be like wind else you will blow away anything that’s coming in your way instead of just going around it. I’ll just tell you to help someone.(that someone can be the person fallen over banana peel).

Think Nonsense…
