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.

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...

4th and 5th dimensions of personality

Recently, on 9th of April this year, I have attended a workshop that was conducted in our college campus by Vivekananda Kendra , Kanyakumari. The session has been so influencing that all the people who were there in the workshop have been magnetized by the words of the swamiji who presided the session. They did not expect even a single penny from our side for conducting workshop, what they expected from us was, to spread the message that has been given to us to the masses! When we have been blessed with such a great wisdom, it is our duty to be gratifying for them. Personality can be divided into 5 types, they say. Mental Physical Intellectual Emotional Spiritual Those 4th and 5th named ones are what I am talking about.. We have been taught well right from the inception of our education, or even before the first three dimensions, by our parents,teachers and maybe,friends. But, we stopped the pursuit of achieving good personality as soon as we feel that we have those three t...
