MOVIES ARE GOOD FOR YOU

I see many people disinclined to acquiesce that movies do good to oneself. It is difficult to grab the intent at first mention. Before getting to the point, I would like to share with you a quote I stumbled upon in Forbes India magazine, this month.. It goes

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; third, by experience, which is the bitterest." - confucius

You might have got an idea by now. Exactly!! that is what I am talking about. If you want to know about yourself and in turn about the society at large, you need to follow what confucius said, knowingly or unknowingly. The first method is what people advise you to follow and the last method is what most of the people end up, following. But recently, the second method is gaining pace and popularity for you have a good option of watching so many movies( not the morally bad ones and the emotionally damaging ones) gives you a bird's eye view of how society works under various situations and what are the traits you should possess in such conditions to withstand. Not just that!! If you are keen on learning English language, you have to love it first and then use it wherever possible. To do just that, watching English movies really helps along with delivering a great entertainment value.

Now, if someone criticizes you of watching too much of movies, think of it as a complement, as it construes several benefits.

Lokpal Bill - Will it succeed?

Anna Hazare Firstly, I would like to express my full support to the formulation of Jan Lokpal bill, with norms as suggested by Mr.Anna hazare, a former army man. While it is becoming increasingly popular to threaten or black mail the government by non-violence and violence methods, we cannot quote this sort of action badly!! He grabbed the attention of public and media so quickly because he is in no way connected to any political party or any organization that involves in political activities. This sort of protests have been made before on the issue of corruption and none of them were taken so seriously as this. This might be because, all those protests are concentrated on a single segment of corruption and seeks to get justice in that issue. A single issue that's brought into front light is always vulnerable to criticism as a lot of loop holes can be found to get out of it. But, Hazare's protest is very different. He is not asking for justice in a segment, he is asking to a...

What not to do while organizing an event in college! !

Hi friends! The purpose of this blog is to share with you guys, the events and situations that lead to the failure of my event hosted in Daksh 2010, a quiz on astronomy, by the name "Cosmic Panorama". I am an astronomy freak. Night skies have always fascinated me. That crush has even led me to make a visit to ISRO, SriHarikota which only enhanced my interest. So, when I returned to the college, I had a thought of organizing some event that shows how interesting and fascinating astronomy is.. After a long pause, me and two of my friends, came up with an idea of conducting astronomy quiz. This may not be very interesting, but that is all we could think of!! May be this is the FIRST thing you should not do. i.e., don't contain yourself with the thought you got first, keep thinking, you could get a better one , like, some Jeopardy style, creative solutions type, like that. Appeals more than a quiz,right?? Alright, then we shared our thoughts in the meetings. They liked ...

You too can measure a star!!

Study of STARS How do you measure the size of a star? How do you estimate it’s mass? How do you know hoe distant it is? When you are asked how distant is place-A from place-B (assuming these two places are on Earth), you same some x km. When you are asked, how do you know that, you try to say that I measured it when I traveled by bike or you can say any measuring technique including Geo-mapping. But, you have never been to a star, nor did any machine, nor anything that we know. Still, how are we so certain about the parameters of a star? Read on to find out... DISTANCE AND LUMINOSITY: When you look at a star, what you see is the apparent brightness of a star rather than its absolute brightness. This apparent brightness is measured in terms of magnitude. The scale is same as that of old catalogs which assigned 1 st...
