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.

Small Town Data Business

All softwares are available here.. If you are living in a town, then chances are that you would have seen it quite often at several internet shops. Not just this. Mobile ringtones, songs are downloaded here.. And by the above sentence, they are trying to tell you that, downloads, are something different from regular browsing and that you might have to pay for them, if you want any. And what about the charges ? Almost as much as Apple Inc. is charging for (in many places). And what about the Quality and Genuineness? Not a bit. What's more? The people who work there will try to convince you that, the content that they are trying to sell you, is 100% Original, and only they are doing it for the lowest prices in the town, and might even add an extra clause saying, 'This content is very rare'. To conversation between such an Internet Shop owner and a customer (who apparently do not know much about internet) goes somewhat like this. Customer : I have a mobile phone. I w...

New GRE Revised Test

About to take new GRE?? And did not undergo any coaching? Do you need to bother? NO.YOU.DON'T.NEED.TO. Unless and until you know certain things! New GRE is more like GMAT. Meaning, more than your vocab skills, your analytic and critical thinking skills are exploited. It is highly likely that all the words they use are the ones you are already familiar with. So, what should you worry about? The trap lies in the fact that, many of a times, all the options given seem to be so good to fit the blanks provided. So, to get these questions right, start reading newspapers, magazines apart from practicing ETS questions regularly. Remember that, more than reading Kaplan, Manhattan, Princeton, Barrons, or whatever solving questions framed by ETS is very important. That is to get familiarized with the way ETS frames questions. And regarding math, it is very very easy to crack the section and bag a score of 750-800. And getting a score of 500+ in verba...

You don't need to be Gandhi to serve your country

On the day of World cup match between India and Sri Lanka, a banner caught my attention. It said "India has only two religions, Cricket and Movies". I am surprised and of course what it states is true, looking at the fact that cine actors and cricketers are demi gods in India, than in any part of the world. Is this trend healthy? I feel that most of us take it for granted that the best way to show our patriotism is by partying, shouting and celebrating- cricket winnings and movie awards mostly the ones that were awarded abroad. And we are least bothered about Indian Politics in a larger scale, environmental awareness.. and to be blunt, to even do our regular duties. IF YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE GANDHI TO SERVE IT. YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE SACRIFICES AS THEY DID. Living a carbon efficient life is one of the best ways to show your patriotism. Start with avoiding meat on selected days. You don't believe me if I say, if everyone in the count...
