Saving Private Ryan



One of the best war histories, "Saving Private Ryan". An humble captain John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) takes up a mission to find one man in the midst of the last great war. Steven Spielberg became the acedamy awards winner for his best direction. This movie takes you allow with the war, the commitment and focus of the soldier, their hard struggle and fight to save one man, 'James'. Tom Hanks at his best again has extactly thought what leadership, command and focus means. A life is no less of any value to live easy. When we live, we need to make our life meaningful in a way that we, EARN IT.

FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH

OM is the direct designation of the self-originating Absolute Truth, the supersoul, and is the secret essence and eternal seed of all Vedic hymns.

"Suta Goswami in Srimad Bhagavatam"

TRUSTWORTHY

He is a true friend who does not forsake us in time of need, misfortune, famine, or war, in a king's court, or at the crematorium.

--"Chanakya"--

EQUANIMITY

One who constantly dwells upon his misfortune loses all enthusiasm, mental equilibrium, and bodily strength. In this way he meets total defeat in life. On the other hand if a distressed person remains fixed and undisturbed, he can easily regain his position when the next opportunity arises.

--"Bhisma said to Yudhishtira in MAHABHARATA"--

Happy Feet

I should admit this animation movie changed my mind set that animation movies are for kids. This is a wonderful story of a baby penguin which is different from the general fleet of penguins which didnt know to walk properly and didnt know to sing. But yet it makes its weakness as a big difference and wins the heart of a love, proud parent and the fleet by saving its entire community. 'Mombo' never gives up, he keeps his esteem, he lives is life with all the difference.

I admire 'Mombo'. And its a lesson for parents to accept their child as they are.

I should also admit that this movie is very very special to me and unforgetable.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

This is one of the best comedies of 1963. Its again about a treasure chance and how people bog behind money. A comedy quiet nice to watch and enjoy.

The Great Escape (a true story)

I just film a trailer of the movie again here. The below movie is the motorcycle chance of Steve McQueen. Later it was found, the escape attempt in the camp led to invention of safety and ventilation systems in mining. I became very emotional on watching this film. One should definitely watch to know what fight means to live.

The Great Escape

This is a true story from World War II. This movie of 1963 is a heart-touching film. It is about the PoW captives in a german camp who where torchered and starved in the prison. It was one of the greatest mass escape attempts so far which happened. We could learn, how under limitation of resource, the american war prisoners used the abilities to engineer the mining of a tunnel as an escape route out of their camp and from their trying to escape from germany to their home country. This movie teaches on how to view and handle situations. Confidence and courage on reality. A persistance and constant will to keep the efforts going. Steve McQueen, wonderfully played his role, and the only one who knows what isolation means and how was the feeling when he almost fell on the borders of swizzerland, yet returned as captive to the prison camp. This is a MUST SEE movie.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

This is one good old hollywoods i would like to watch. Definitely a good film to watch and should know for first few minutes there is no one who would talk in the movie. Its a hunt for treasure and good english and civilization that we could learn. I think i learnt my first slangs from this film too ;). If you should get a chance, you should enjoy watching this movie.

300

'Spartan' known to be the finest soldiers of the ancient world who stand and live to dignity. "300" is a story of 300 spartans stand alone to fight against a million persians to defend their homeland. I should say, the graphics really cutting-edge and though the movie seems to be highly beyond human and superfical, its nice to watch. 'Spartans', the war heros, a movie with true action.

The Terminal

I'm a great fan of Tom Hanks. This movie, 'The Terminal' is a sensational movie, a simple honest gentle who lives to keep his promise. It is a story that could allow us to think on us and how we could bring our life to live, under any circumstances. A movie i always like to watch.

--Vijey--

Blood Diamond

A movie made fantastically, Blood Diamond is 'Bling Bang', which credentials are 'bling bling' to Leonardo DiCaprio. I should say, this movie is one of the best movies of Leonardo DiCaprio and well directed movie. I should say, its one of the best pictures that should be watched. Blood Diamond, is a pack of emotion, action, love and social problems. I wish you should make a chance to watch this movie, that would make you move.

Motivation, a management lesson

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to hiscustomer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you." The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins (1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks,"Which do you want, son?"

The boys face lights up, he takes the two one rupee coins and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!" Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question?Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of the five rupee coin?"The boy licked his ice cream cone and replied,"Because THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER.

Darkness of Society (1)

This is a story of a social set up that had always been cutting short the freedom of womenhood.
The idea of blogging is to provoke our idealogies and rethink our dimensions of a social life.
-------------
It should be summer, yet the friday set the clouds to umbrella my temple town from the shines of the sun. Missing the small drizzles over the gently shaking river, my good mumma and I, however made up our minds to enjoy the holiday occassion at my grandma's place. Mrs. Pooja, my mother begins to rush us to grab all our good clothes, and she just looks like the railway coal engine, just ready and wanna start off the station.
For some reason, those days had heavy regulations on daughter-in-laws, and visiting to their own mother's place is considered nothing less than a sin among the relatives, and nothing below equal to 1st order crime by the family hierarchy. Being the order of the society, Mrs. Pooja always await the summer holidays, undoubtedly, my good mom, just tries to rush the winters and the harvest festivals. I think, Mrs. Pooja always knows, with a large pleading and greater difficulties, shez gonna get a counted permission of 'a week break' from various hierarchy of the family. I should excuse myself that her husband somehow could not be 'allowed' to be part of the sanction & approval process. Though a holiday of just 7 days of 365 days, 'sanctioned', yet all faces around would envy and be just black enough that the whole of the earth can disappear and be unseen in the darkness.
For Mrs. pooja, the walk was coarse, the bushes around changed dark from their greens, the cows always made much noise and the sun could never smile, still she had her true smiles with all the innocences within it and a smile seen only by her children.
This was one part of society. "Some people" say always listen to parents, always listen to in-laws. Many marriage are done with the concent of parents, 'only' parents. Mrs. Pooja's marriage was no different from the 'so-called' custom arranged, traditional wedding. To what i know, Mr. Goglay, was very brave and a hard working gentleman, my grandfather and Mrs. Pooja's father. When i sit in silence, looking deep into the seas, its silence always speak to my hears, "his own society gave no chance to see his daughter, Mrs. Pooja's married life as happy as it should be and he died brittle and broken without ever voicing for Mrs. Pooja, his daughter".
When these silence speaks, even the sounds of heart beats seems to go silent. The whole purpose of Subramaniya Bharathi has gone unseen by the society and the womenhood had been betrayed.

Four Dont's of your Resume

When we talk of a beginning of our career or a change of job, the first and preliminary important activity is the preparation of a good resume. In view to help benefit with some information for the readers, I wish to share the below information with the readers.
Four Dont's of your Resume..
Troublesome Typos

"I often use a laptap". "I will accept nothing less than $18 annually".
In a survey, 84 percent of executives polled said it takes just one or two typographical errors in a resume to remove a candidate from consideration for a job opening. Hiring managers view your resume as an indication of your attention to detail, and a mistake will convince potential employers you lack it. So, after running your computer's spell-check function, ask a friend to review your application materials.

Sharing Too Many Secrets

"Interests: Running, editing video, cooking, writing and wondering".
"Able to say the ABCs backward in under five seconds".
Hiring managers often have dozens of resumes to review and appreciate being able to scan them quickly. If you include unnecessary information -- such as your hobbies, marital status or personal trivia -- potential employers may simply bypass your application. Omit details that don't directly demonstrate how you can benefit the employer, and tailor each document to the specific company and position.

Overly Casual Conversation

"If U hire me, U will not have any regrets!"
"I don't have a phone 4 the time being. Please email me instead".
Remember that you're writing a professional document to be read by a prospective employer, not dashing off a quick email or text message to a friend. Hiring managers will use your resume to gauge your level of professionalism, so steer clear of informal language, unconventional acronyms and emotions.

Tech Transgressions

Before you hit the send button, check to make sure you've attached the correct document. For example, one candidate sent an e-mail addressed to a competing firm. Another applicant submitted a fact sheet about California's population instead of his resume. Also check the labels you give the documents. Files with generic or informal names can get lost on a hiring manager's hard drive or cause a prospective employer to doubt your professionalism. Using your full name as a label is much better than "Oh Boy.doc" or "Hey there.doc" -- both real examples, by the way.
Last but not least, it's best to forego smoke and mirrors. You don't want to leave hiring managers scratching their heads, like the following applicant surely did: "I am a wedge with a sponge taped to it. My purpose is to wedge myself into someone's door to absorb as much as possible."
----------
Have a good day!!
