Ratatouille :)

"Anyone can cook"

What a movie :)
Wowieeeeeee

The best animation I have watched in recent times...great storyline, great characters and everything is just superb.

The movie is about a rat named Remy, who has wishes to be a chef. Remy lands up in kitchen of France's deceased top chef, Auguste Gusteau's restaurant, which is now run by former sous-chef Skinner.

Remy's extraordinary cooking skills are discovered by a grabage boy of the kitchen and the story revolves around how Remy helps the garbage boy Linguini to fame as a good cook and finally helps him be the owner of the restaurant.

The movie has some beautiful scenes around how a rat cooks in a human kitchen and his recipes get appreciation from everyone, even from the food critic Anton Ego.

All in all a beautiful picturization of a mast concept.

I loved it and I am sure you will too!!!

Cricket or torture???

Well, I know I will be asking for wrath for all those cricket lovers but I have no other option but to sit and write this blog.(as I sit waiting for the TV remote to come back to me and everything to be normal again) huh...

Wish, the whole world goes swiftly to 20-20 cricket n there r no more 50 over matches and better no test matches.Aaah test matches, even more painful n boring :)

MBA or ME ?

MBA or ME?
Well this question is in minds of several youngsters who are approaching completion of their Engineering degrees.

Wanted to pen down the thought process that I went through while I chose ME to be my next step after completing my BE in Computer Science.

Every time, I face a dilemma, I take the traditional tree based approach, where one comes up with the number of options available at that point of time. Then, for each branch, come up with the possible options available and the outcome of each decision. Finally, choose the option best suited to you, since you will be familiar with the pros and cons of each approach by then and it will be easier/more rational decision rather than just deciding based on gut feel.

The main points that I considered were : My interests, my personality type, and parents advice. While chalking down my career interests I figured out that I was not too much interested in management fundas, neither was I ready to part with my technical subjects studied in graduation and decided that studying anything except computer subjects would suck life out of me :)

Then came my personality type... I was too much a shy type of person and not very socially active. I was good in public speaking but only good at giving technical presentations. When it came to presenting spontaneously on stage like drama or an ad or something similar, I was not so comfortable. So, this also helped me in taking the decision better.

Third factor was my parents advice. As I belong to a family of professors and teachers, it was an easy decision for me to pursue technical line and learn more about subjects that I had learned in BE.

These factors finally helped me take the right decision and I am very much satisfied with what I did.

Hope this blog helps those who are standing at the same cross roads and having tough time figuring out what to do next.


May God bless everyone and bring love, luck, peace and happiness.

Amen!!!

Chak De India!!!

I Loved it !!!
Fantabulous!!!

Never thought I would like a movie made on hockey so much ...Well, the credit goes to amazing script, direction n screenplay of the movie. Its just the best performance by everyone...right from the girls in the hockey team to Shahrukh to everyone, who is part of this movie.

As Shahrukh says " I won't say anything else but Chak De"

Is this what I asked for?

Is this what I asked for???
Left home for studies and then for work and now settled far away from home...

Every now and then, I think of times when I left home for the first time for studies and I had so many dreams in my eyes. Always wanted to do something good, something big in my life, wanted my folks back home to be proud of me. Well, they are proud of me today and I am living a life that I wanted someday but did I wish right... if my success and happiness meant being away from my parents, then why did I ask for it.

These questions prick me these days so often that I find it hard to justify to myself as to what am I upto. What do I want to achieve in life? Do I want more growth, more money, more success? What is that I am looking for? And I am sure lot of people who have gone away from home to earn a living, would have come across such a milestone in their lives when everything back home looks so sweet n simple and so relaxing that they start questioning the decision to make a home away from home.

First post!!!

This is my first blog here ..does not mean I have not been a blogger anytime. Tried blogging lot many times earlier but could not continue it for a long time...

To set the expectations right, I am not a great philosopher, nor do I write extremely well but of late I have been feeling that I need a space to pen down the emotions that I am going through.. The mixed feelings that I have these days about life, work are too much to be told to anyone. And somehow I feel I express better when I write down rather than when I speak up...:)

So,folks, lemme try my hand at this now ...

Thinking, hoping, praying...I do succeed this time.Amen!!!
