Immortals of Meluha

It was like reading the Lord Shiva story in modern day. I just felt it was too cheeky to use abusive language for something like Lord Shiva, but at the same time it is in trends to the time if people having a conversation today.

It does give insight into the life and the mini stories that I have heard from my grandmother and also sharing the morals after every two chapters to the story. There are people just popping into the story to give guidance. Does this happen in real life, it only happens in mythological stories, where people are seeking a direction, but not answers.

Received my Last JAM copy, today

It is really sad to know that the environment is changing and all of us need to start adapting sooner or later, and Now that JAM mag of the Print copy shuts down (Link). reminds of Change and the Spencer Johnson book. But then my first ever book review was published in JAM was the spoof on this book - I moved your Cheese. Image, and it actually give me confidence that I could write.

Then, when i went to Pune, I was part of the Pune team who was giving the regular updates from the happenings of Pune (image). But I was reporting more about SIMC, than Pune, that was the world at that time. If you are unable to see my name on the image, don't fret, it must got cropped out.

But now that I read that they would be stop the print, but focus on online (ref), as the person who has spent time reading online, figuratively and actually. There are already too many people who trying to get the 10 seconds of time spent on their website, interact, talk, chat, update, tweet, and every possible way laptop, mobile, smart phone, tablet, PC, and still try and keep the privacy of the individual intact. I feel that it would be difficult, but not impossible for JAMmag.com to actually kick some ass.

... and it is today that I received my (probably) the last copy of JAM , will cherish it.

Surf while flying - What happens next?



Based on the story titled "Now, log on and surf the Web in the skies!..." for sure there will be another set of nuisances that the flight attendant will have to suffer.

* Gujarati uncle talking to loudly on his smart phone connect via skype and trying to close the deal

* Children playing the latest dishum-dishum games on their newly acquired tablet and creating chaos in the cabin

* Cabin Crew requesting all passengers personally, begging and with strict warning that they will be thrown out of the moving aircraft if they dont switch their wi-fi connected gadgets off

* The products that are being bid on-air will have an opportunity to do price comparisons, if the bid will be worthwhile are not

* Privacy of the air hostess will be at stake, cause after reading and listening to the announcement, they will be surely be checked out on their Facebook, twitter profiles. If their photos are in public domain, only imagination can run wild, where will they morphed and uploaded.

NewTwitter - My First view, My first review

I love the functionality, but at the same time, the first look is a little complex with an overload of information on my screen. We need to add some form of filters to the same. The multimedia opening of the window on the right hand side is quiet sleek and smooth, hope it does not require too much internet bandwith to open ... and more on Moksh Juneja

There is nothing Rajnikanth cant do - Robot

Getting the tickets for the movie - Robot, standing in the Que for the movie. The last movie that went house full and i was not able to get the movie tickets, don't even remember. After reading House Full for the show, still standing in the line, i give the call to the person sitting in the box office, we exchanged numbers, during one of my innumerable visits to the cinema house. He assures he will give me the tickets, then the fear sets in that we will be giving the last row seats. Yes he did, last row seats from the back and not from the screen.

I have not seen many Rajnikanth movies, the last movie that remember watching was Hum starring Amithabh Bachchan. Of course, Tamil is not first language, Now i feel that i have lost out a lot of time not watching his movies.

With though all with the dubbing entertaining hassles in Hindi for the movie, the special effects actually made up if there is anything wrong in the movie. Rajnikanth, will surely handle it and he does best. Rajnikanth, who is actually 60 plus years old has played three different characters - the scientist Mr. Vasi, who creates the Robot, Chitti and the evil robot, Chitti again and then 1000 Chitti's in the movie. One question that arises, for which character was Rajnikanth paid and if it was for all 1000s of character, then he should be beating Warren Buffet, this year.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is plastic, this is something that we have heard, read, blogged, tweeted a zillion times, except Guru, probably. But this time this quality actually suited her since she was there to sing and dance with the Robot for most of the songs. Complete 10/10 for casting for this role, if there is a sequel for Robot, please call it Female Robot, and you know who is best suited for the role.

for this movie, we waited till the of the Credits in hope to see locations of the songs which was a beautiful cinematography, which was missed and references like the one on Wikipedia pages. Let me add the following:

Movies
* Mask - the scene where he has innumerable guns
* Matrix Revolutions - Mr. Smith and his clones
* Men In Black - slimy gooey, alien living in the suers
* Mummy - dress worn by Aishwarya
* Salt - Angelina jumping on a truck trailer
* Transformers - just that you have a large giant robot
* Jurassic Park - the dinosaur chasing the cars, unable to catch it
* Bicentennial Man - where Robin Williams wants to get feelings
* I am Legend - all the droids looked liked the extras from the movie
* Terminator - red eye popping out
* Charlie and Chocolate Factory - the hardworking Rajnikanth clones reminded off the Oompas - Loopas
* The evil Rajnikanth resembles the good Kamal Hasan in Indian
* Star Wars - Princess Liea's attire; R2d2, C3PO
* Flubber - where the scientist neglects his relationship
* Golmal - Ajay Devgan making an entry into the movie on two bikes, cars

Cartoon
* Power Rangers - a complete dress code of the extras

Music Videos
* Janet Jackson in the video Scream
* Fergie - Black Eyed Peas - from the hair style to style of vocals, complete
* Madonna - Aishwarya Rai wearing a modest corset

... and the list continues ...

Music - The lyrics have been butchered and completely lost in translation from Tamil to Hindi and we had a hearty laugh on them. The lyricist, after much research should have added some form sense in the

Being Rajnikanth, who has completely surpasses his acting skills and combining the same with the technical team is phenomenal. The list SFX, 2D, Special effects teams that were working on this movie was phenomenal.

Wait till the end of the last action sequence that is completely original. The movie is a complete Indian Sci-fi which Indian directors are scared to make. It also raises pertinent issues in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, do we need to droids with feelings and reasoning capabilities. This movie other being huge commercial success, it should be one of the entries into Oscars in the Foreign Language category - A complete entertainer.

Humble Request - Dont Cut Trees in Chembur

With respect to your article in Times of India today , I really do not want these trees to be cut. The whole charm of living in Chembur will go away. We should be able to prune these trees, and let them live. Chembur is supposedly the greener of the suburbs in Mumbai. Looking for solutions... Moksh Juneja
