Mumbai Terrorist Attacks : A war on India.

 26 November 08, will be counted as a "black-wednesday" in Indian History. Mumbai saw a huge coordinated terrorist attack. And before anybody could understand hundreds of people died in these. Explaining these attacks is stupidity as you probably know more then me. I am just writing my views here...

 I got to know about attacks when I logged in to twitter at around 12:30 AM on 27th. Till then all of the social media (twitter, blogs, flickr, friendfeed and all) were burning with news of terrorist attacks. That came as a Shocker for me. On 27 there were elections in my state so for precaution cable sevice was disabledin cities. Nobody in my city had any clue whats going on in night except those few people including me who surf Web all night. A quickly called everbody and gave them link of CNN-IBN live video stream.

The scenes were sccary, blood everywhere. I thought by morning everything will cool down, but was wrong. I stayed up all night just yo see that situation is becoming worse and worse. Mumbai police lost its 18 officers, including ATS chief- Hemant Karkare. A big shock. Indain army, navy and airforce was called in. This became the Biggest Organized Terrorist Attack India has ever seen in its history.

 Me and other twitterers tweeted 2 nights Non-Stop about it. Worked hard to stop rumors. Giving only correct info to people.

 These attacks in time of economical crisis will hurt India very badly. Tourists have been killed in these attacks too, this will have a huge negative impact on Indian Tourism. I saw few people writing tweets that they are cancelling their India's trip. I don't blame them, who'd want to come in a country where there is NO SECURITY.

  These terrorists were here for no negotiation. They have only one thing in mind, stay for as long as they can and create terror and panic. Somebody tweeted about this on twitter : Deccen Harald's 15th September news Story : http://tinyurl.com/634dan  . They already gave a warning that in near future mumbai's gonna see a attack!


 It high time India should do something solid now, we've endured too much suffering and pain.

As I'm writing this Indian army and National Security Gaurd is still handling hostage situation (Truely Brave People They are).

Why our Secret Agencies failed? Why Indian police is never properly
eqipped to handle these situations? We can't expect them to fight
terrorists with a Dandaa do we? Why it took so long to call the army?
So many questions, High-Placed officers and politicians have lots of
explaining to do.

Tomorrow (29 - November) is No Blog Day in Protest of Mumbai Attacks. Please take a break from writing and place this image on your Blog : http://tr.im/1lf7
 

Happy Birth-Day Sister

 Today 25-November is my sister's birthday. And in last 16 years its first time she is not with us. (She studies in LNCT Bhopal, BE in CSE).

                                           

                                           IM thinking of what gift i should give.

                                           against the precious gift of our bro-sis relationship,

                                           against the immortal gift of being a close friend of mine.

                                           In every expensive  thing of the world i found nothing

                                           as big as our relationship so still....

                                           IM thinking of what gift i should give.

 

                                           For the 1 who knows me more than myself,

                                           For the relationship, you won't like to define.

                                           For the 1 who is a bottemless well to confine all my secrets.

                                           For the 1 who is a plate to share all my joys n sorrows.

                                           For the 1 whose confidence in me never rattles.

                                           For the 1 to whom i always found standing besides, 

                                           supporting me in all my up n down.                                         

                                           On the special day of such a special person ...

                                           IM thinking of what gift i should give.

 

                                           It's you who always makes me wonder,

                                           is this your brain or someone stranger.

                                           Sometimes it's seems like a mirage of mine.

                                           as i think that you have the solutions for my every  problem.

                                           every time I keep thanking to my god that I have sister you.

                                           My most dear sister, with having tears in my eyes …..

                                           I M thinking of what gift I should give…

Songs to Break - Breakdance!

Those who know me knows how much I love dancing. Whenever I am alone I just put my mobile's earplugs in my 'own' ears and there I go - Boom Boom Boom.... Shaking mah body on the reathms n beats!
  I started dancing when I was like 6???? Yeah! Though that time waving hands and jumping on Hindi song - "Tutak Tutak Tutiyaa... Hai jamaa Lo" was the best steps I could perform. LOL

 As I grew up, my dancing improved, thanks to my slim-trim-flexible body , learning new steps was never a problem for me. When I was 14 I saw Bhaskar (my neighbor) performing Break-Dance on a local TV contest. He won of course. Impressed I was, I asked him to teach me. And so began my Journey as a dancer.
 
  I dance in mix style - It's usualy combination of Salsa + Ballet + BreakDance + Usual Bollywood Dance or in short its called Freestyle Street Dance.

 A Successful dance performance requires two things - Choreography and Right Selection of Dance Track and I know how tough it is to find the right track for your dancing style. Here I present my fevorite tracks which are appropriate for street/freestyle/break dancing!


1.) Singin' In The Rain by Mint Royale :

 I noticed this song when George Sampson danced on it in Britian's Got Talent finale and won! Superb songs with lots of scope for footwork and bodywave moves.

2.) Numb-Encore by Jay-Z and LinkingPark :

Linkin Park and JayZ both are like East and West. But their combination made this an epic. The hip hop beats in song is good for body-sliding moves and body-waves.

3.) Aerodynamic by Daft Punk :

Daft-Punk, all beats no lyrics. The song is special, cause you can perform it in front of any type of viewers, no mater they know english or not. Long loops give scope to syncopation moves.

4.) Killa by Cherish (Feat. Young Joc) :

Saw this in Step-Up 2 : The Streets movie. Its good for female breakdancers actually. The BPM is a bot low, but the is good as you can perform some complex moves like Knee Drop and  8 step.

5.) Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake :

I hate lyrics of this song, but the music is good. On songs synchronized beats one can easily do 2-Step, Kickouts and Suffles.

6.) Wall to Wall by Chris Brown :

An R'nB' kinda song. BPM is low here too but this song truly rocks. I once performed on this one, totally rocking performance. Plus point is you can incorporate many moves with this one : 4 step, Body Glide, Belly Swim and even 1-handed Airbaby (something I can't do!)

7.) One Two Step by Missy Elliott :

Missy Elliot is the Queen of American Hip-Hop and the is her one and only track worth dancing IMO! As name suggest - Its good for Footwork based dance moves. 1-2 Step, 2 Step, 4 Step and Scissors.

8.) Old School Funk Mix by The Baka Boyz :

Funk song. Speciality of Funk? You can perform any breakdance movie that exist (or you invented) in these.

9.) Lets Dance to the Drummers Beat by Kerman Kelly :

Another footwork based song you can easily perform Bicycle pumps, Zulu Spins, Spindle, Back CC's, Kick outs, Shuffles and Scramble moves on it!

I will keep adding more to the list. Dancing is fun (and its one of things which keeps me from being called a 'nerd' ).

What sort of dance you like? And which is your fevorite dance track?

[Movie review] DeadSpace : Downfall

 Just finished watching DeadSpace. Its an Animation movie.





Director : Chuck Patton
Genre: Animation + Horror + Sci-Fi
Runtime: 74 min
Tagline: Meet Your Maker.

     I've no idea how tag line is related to whole movie... There is no mention of 'maker' in movie . Dead Space : Downfall is one of the goriest movie I've watched in long time. Even for an animation movie it's got lots of blood and violence. Though animation and background score is average and a little scary, the story failed to impress me. Most of the story elements are from 'The Thing' and 'Alien'. There is a DeadSpace game too, but I am yet to get my hands on it.

  Animation : It is 2-Dimensional animation movie. And believe me, voice overs and animation as a
whole is quite mediocre. Last 2D animation I watched was Next-Avengers, and it was far better. Action scenes looks exciting at first, all the blood, guts cutting, slashing of bodies but after the first few
disembowelments and decapitations I started to lose interest. The animation reminded me of Eon
Flux and thats a BAD thing

  Music : Just as I said earlier- average. Nothing ground-breaking. A little scary in action sequences but you won't even notice that in first watch. The end-tracks are awesome (very very awesome) though, and the lines 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star..." are creepy...

 Story : DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE for STORY! It simply sucks. Nothing original - Dead planet ,host parasitic
alien form,comes to ship, start killing - as simple as that without any suspence in movie. A spoiler (like you care?): everyone dies and you wont even feel bad about it. I mean you will never feel emotionally attached to characters. There's no background of the
characters, too little information about why they are doing whatever they are doing  maybe cause the movie was too short (Just 1 hour 14 minutes).

  Verdict : Just watch it for timepass, don't expect too much, somebody said on internet that if you liked the 'DeadSpace' game you will like it too. Maybe thats true!

Rating - 6.5/10.

P.S. : do not watch it in HD like I did. Its just not worth it.

The fire of will ignites

3.) Save myself from failing exam.

4.) Metaphorically fuck all those dickheads who pisses me off.

5.) Stop wasting my life and time over particular brain-dead stupid person!

Will think more later! Must sleep now... Wasted too many hours tonight... Not anymore not anymore... This time my will to change things is strong! This fire wont die soon now!!!

Reality of an Unreal Hero

Quantum of Solace is the latest installment in James Bond series of movies. The Bond series began with Sean Connery's 'Doctor No' released in 1962. Quantum means of small quantity or too little, Solace means = Comfort. So Quantum of Solace = Little Comfort. This is a very unusual James Bond title (compared to other). It has this deep literature touch. Ian Fleming's every novel has this in them. Diamonds are Forever (Novel) perfectly depicted that times economical state. But Movie Makers always ignores the meaning behind books. Every Book to Movie adaption seems to follow this. Bond Movies are all about high-tech cars, weapons, new fashion cloths and of course chicks

The character of James Bond was created in times of America-Russia cold-war. That time people needed a superhero who infiltrates enemy camp alone and returns back safely with his love, girls of the enemy's side are crazy about him. The character gave people the false sense of superority. Sean Connery gave a life to the character on silver screen, and when the Bond brand was on its top, he pulled out. saying no to any more bond movies. A brave decision I must say. Even after Connery, James bond movies continued to be produced, but nobody did it as good as Sean Connery. People still miss him.

Now the war is over (been long), Its peace time. So whats the need of character like James Bond now? Can James Bond save the world from Global Warming? Can he catch Osama Bin Laden? SuperHeroes like Spiderman, Superman or James Bond can't eradicate today's problem - the finanncial-economical crisis. Imagined heroes can only solve imagined problems! In real world they are just #fail

21 Habits of a great Dictator

Yes! You get it right. You must have heard little kids saying that they want to be engineer, doctor, spider-man or Cinderella [One of my friend Raju (I am not changing name here, I fear no mortal) really wanted to be Cinderella, yuck, how much gay is that?] but since childhood I've always wanted to be a Dictator. All world waiting for my command to do anything from preparing Maggi Noodles to wash socks (I hate washing smelly socks!). Muhahah How cool is that?

Becoming a Dictator is not easy I tell'ya. Its a path only few can walk (don't think of driving - thats not an option). So if you want to know how Born Dictator's are different, read on. My Secret : 21 Habits a aspiring Dictator should follow :=

1.) If you are in school/college, don't ever submit your school fees. Never return library books. Since you are going to rule world one day nothing wrong in taking what's yours.

2.) Always go Late in School / College / Work. If your boss says something tell him to 'shut the ~censored~ up'.

3.) Don't pay your taxes. Save money to build an Army.

4.) Read every comics, watch every action movie. Concentrate on Villain (You can watch that sexy actress later). Learn from his mistakes (Like don't get bald like Lex Luther or Mogambo).

5.) Make a Student/ Workers union where-ever you go. Declare yourself leader. Blackmail College/ Company to give you Lots of Money/3X sellary. Invest 2/3 of it in bio-chemical weapon research.

6.) Have a headquarter. Its cool to have one.( I hate when my mum calls it toilet though).

6.5) Use that headquarter regularly. Don't let anybody in that! Somebody can plant bugs to spy on you. (I suspect that lizard on wall in my headquarter is an ultra-mechenical device, US of A is spying on me. They fear me. Muhahaaha)

7.) Always vote for biggesr looser n duchebag in election. A weak government is your lucky chance.

8.) Always wear a Winter Jacket (even in Summers.). It looks cool! (err hot?).

9.) Kill anyone who 'apposes' you and hang their mangled bodies in front of roads to make examples of them (Do this to every Micheal Scofield like character).

10.) Buy a piece of land atleast 1 mile radius and declare it your country.

11.) Make a flag for your country. Also write a senseless constitution of your country preferably in binary. Hire a lawyer if neccessary. Name your country something weirdish. I will name my country : Quizzat de Fellowship of Urbanized Countries and Kolonies ( Q-F.U.C.K.).

12.) E-Mail every country's foreign department a copy your constitution and illegal documents and ask for comments! Keep Spamming!

14.) Trust no one, not even yourself. If you even licking an ice-cream make someone lick it first, wait 10 minutes then have it for yourself (A dictator must make sacrifices like this).

15.) Publish fake stories in newspaper (bribe them) that how you alone took-down the mob. Gain public's trust.

16.) Invent a scary nickname and Title for yourself. Like I have : Quiz_Master the Exterminator.

17.) Present yourself as a copy the previous dictator in every way such as dress like Hitler, talk like Napoleon This
way, people won't notice you are in charge until it is too late. This
also makes all your opponents traitors, meaning you can kill them in
public (much more stylish). Though avoid killing if possible, just leave them in a deserted island, if Lost (teh TV Series) has taught us anything it's that people trapped on an island won't get off even if given 3 seasons.

18.) Become friends with rich brats (especially if they find you
entertaining, they won't pay any attention to your requests and will
comply without question) .

19.) Practice the are of giving speeches. Talk everything people can't understand. Pay few bafoons to clap from time to time. When they will clap everyone will follow. In speeches mock everyone you can think of.  Make funny faces, show card tricks, jump around naked (works great!) and wear a The Joker (The Dark Knight) mask. Mispronounce most of the words. I suggest give speech with your mouth full of bread.

20.) Have a religious agenda. Whenever someone opposes you counter him saying what he think is against religion (whatever religion, it doesn't matter).

21.) Write a post like this, or better forward this to everybody you know. You always need helping hands. :D

Follow these and become a dictator. May the Dark Force be with you.

Smallville Season 1 and Me :)

 Date : November 3rd.
 Time : 8:30 PM

"Look, In The TV - Is it RoadRunner? No!, Is  it a Baldy-Will-Win-Contest? No!, Is it Melodrama? No! Its Smallville "

 Just half an hour ago I finished watching Smallville (TV Show). Does the word ring a bell? If it does then yes you are right - Smallville is hometown of Clark Kent aka SUPER-MAN. After watching fantasy shows like Supernatural and Heroes, Smallville was an obvious choice - and I liked the show, despite the fact that it's a bit way too emotional for my taste.
The story surround Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk), Chloe (Allison Mack), Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) and of course Clark Kent (Tom Welling).

 At first I thought this show isn't for me. Its too emotional and since I've read so many Sup's comics I know everything there is to know about Clark Kent and Superman. Guess what? I was wrong! After third episode I got hooked. Not only because show is good (very very good) but cause I was finding similarities in show's storyline (specially Clark Kent) and my own life. This show is not about Super Man, but a young Clark Kent. Its a story of finding what you are and then dealing with it the right way!

 The story starts with Meteor showers in Smallville and here lands the little Clark (about 3 year of age) on earth!  But these meteors stones are not normal, they are last remains of planet Krypton and has many secret good/bad effects and are reason behind almost every bad thing in first season. Lex Luthor loose his hairs in 1st episode cause of meteor shower. (Now we know that why is Lexy Taklaa(=Bald )). Clark saves Lex from a car accident and they become friends. Yes in first season it really looks like Lex Luthor is a good guy. But things he says points that he will turn to Dark side one day (A la Anakin Skywalker style).

"You see, I don't want to do good things, I want to do great things." - Lex Luthor

Now I doubt I have a Lex Luthor in my life? A rich arrogant guy who always helps his friends? Hmm.. OK I do have a Lex Luthor in my life and just like the show my dad hate him too (Jonathan Kent hates Luthors). But I hope he always remain a good person.

Other story in show is Lana-Clark-Chloe love triangle. Chloe (Clark's best friend) likes Clark, but Clark likes Lana, but Lana likes Whitney Fordman. A real messed up love story... I feel like a hypocrite when I say that I like Clark-Chloe pair better, when I should side with Clark-Lana pair. It seems like Lana likes Clark, but don't want to come between him and Chloe. Chloe on the other hand knows everything about Clark's feelings about Lana. OK. Did the show's writer read my Diary?

Rest of the show's story revolves around Clark Fighting Meteor Phreaks (People who accidently recieved superpowers from meteor fragments), Lex Luthor trying to overpower his father and trying to figure out Clark's secret and Jonathan and Martha kent trying to protect their family. Which bear no resemblance to my life. (Or even it do, I can't disclose my secret identity here! So guys I am NOT an Alien trying to protect you while you sleep!)

Pretty good show I must say. A must watch if you are able to download this(Or watch it on TV if possible.).
My Rating : 9.0 / 10.

In the End a Quote I must always remeber (and you should to) :

"You know, the choice is yours. You can either sit in your loft and play with your telescope, or move on." - Chloe
