Back in my high school days, we were made to believe that if we didn't learn typewriting and/or shorthand, we wouldn't have a career. To be honest, even when I was in the last year of my school I had little idea of where my career would be. Anyway, we guys used to flock the institutes to learn shorthand and typewriting. Most guys from boys' school went to these institutes also because that's where it is co-ed. The fact that you could write love...
I need to review Slumdog Millionaire, now. As an Indian blogger who has seen the movie, I don't want to be the only one not to have reviewed this movie. We've heard all the arguments for and against the movie. Before I get to that, let me make one thing clear. It's one hell of a movie. Superb screenplay, lovely cinematography and top class music. I just loved it. I enjoyed this movie so much that I've watched it three times. As a movie, it is...
I'm not challenging you, I'm just pondering here. How easy is it to commit the perfect murder? Every time I see the news about someone getting convicted for a murder, I wonder why they thought they wouldn't get caught. I'm talking about those well-planned murders here. It is generally said that it is impossible to commit a perfect murder - the one where the killer leaves no evidences or witnesses. That's why I wonder why they commit all these...
Few weeks back, I happened to read this book 'Six Thinking Hats' by Edward de Bono. It was a good interesting idea but a badly written book. That's natural because de Bono is more of a thinker than a writer. I liked the idea of organising our thoughts with the six-hats method. What struck me was the choice of colours by de Bono and how he had assigned them to various types of thinking. To get straight to the point, the black hat is supposed to...
I'm not ambitious. I guess that does not make me popular but the fact is I'm not ambitious. I'm not at all guilty about this and I'm perfectly happy with the way I am. When I say I don't have any ambitions, there is a chance of me being misunderstood as being wayward and listless. I can be very clear and organised. Being clear and organised is about the present whereas ambition is about the future. Lack of ambition is related to lack of desire...
I'm no newspaper freak. I think I used to be, before I realised how else I could spend my time. We used to have a band of friends who would discuss endlessly on every damn thing on earth. Intensive newspaper reads actually would help you to get one over them during those times. At the risk of sounding too old, I can say that when I grew up, technology had not started swallowing us. By the way, I love technology. My professor in college used...
I never liked writing diaries. Writing stuff with a pen is so damn difficult and you can't write at the speed of your thoughts. So, writing has always been boring for me. I feel so much comfortable on the qwerty, I love 'writing' with my laptop. Also, I always thought that someone could steal my diary or I could lose it. Not that anyone could do millions from it but it's just that no one wants their diaries to be read by others while people...
