LEARNING NEW THING EVERYDAY

The previous 2 months has really been really busy.
I somehow finished my first batch although it lasted too long, but
I am happy that it finished.
Although it was not a very good feeling but I think that I am improving.
The feedback for the second batch is really good but I know I know I have
to keep on improving and there are still so many things that I don't know.
The best part of this job is that you have to be alert all the time, you never
know when someone will ask you such a doubt that you never thought of.

I AM SO HAPPY

How nice it feels to have a job and that to if it is something that challanges you to do your best and provides you an opportunity to grow not only as an individual but also stand out among others.

So the job I am talking about is of an ORACLE(DBA) trainer with the organization that is best in the business.
The feel that you get when you work with people who seriously are the best in the business is really an amazing feeling.
What I really enjoy is the people's reaction , their face expression when they listen that you are working with that organization it fills you with a different kind of joy.

MY first batch has already started and I have finished three lectures.
Although the first two lectures were ok but I feel that in the third lecture I was more relaxed,fumbled far less than the first two lectures.
The students are also good , they have not troubled me till now.
In the first lecture when I entered the classroom with the marker and saw the students I definately was the person younger than all of them, all of them must be two-three years elder to me.
But there was never a single moment when I felt that I can not deliver in front of them and the reason behind is my office environment and the way all the other faculty guided me regarding how I should go about it.
The continuous demo presentation, their breifing during my presentation , how things can be made easier for the students to understand with the help of real life examples and made the job easier for me.

I specially thank Ruchira mam for firstly showing faith in me and when I failed to stand upto her expectations she again made me believe that I can do this job if I try a little harder and put in a little more effort.
I again thank her and Geeta mam for bearing me through those evryday presentations and
because of their explanations during presentations now I try to relate the topics with realtime examples.
The work environment is wonderful, all the people are really helpful and everybody has a pleasent appearence, everybody is chilled out and partly the reason behind that is the knowledge about their subject.
It does help you if you are confident about your subject knowledge and definately that reflects on your face, your behaviour,your appearence.
Another thing that I liked most regarding them is that all of them are a big foodie, they just love to have burgers,cheeeeeeeese sandwiches and above all the most favoured is chicken, they just need a small excuse to eat chicken.
I was really lucky in terms of attending parties in the office because I enjoyed three parties in the first four days now when I talk about parties they are not those small tea parties , the parties over here are something like a bless for a foodie.
So in all I am having a really good time and the only way from here is the road ahead.

Things Are Improving

Things are improving and looking good slowly, at least a little better on career front,
apart from that I also cleared the first semester KT exams , really did not hope to clear it.
It was important for me to clear that KT exam, which eventually I cleared.
And somehow I will go to the second year.
The second semester results are still to be declared but I am prepared for that blow.
The next 2-3 months are going to be the most cruical month for me, and I know that I have got to put in a lot more effort and hardwork in the upcoming months.
I hope everything goes fine.

Feeling Really Low

Things are not going too well , It can not go like this,
I have to utilize all the opportunity that comes by, I need to put in more efforts
and practise more.
It feels bad not only for myself but for people whom you let down, who expect something from you.
I am not so habituated to rejections or failure so I am finding it difficult to handle all these things.
I dont know what I am doing is correct but I believe in pursuing my dreams and working hard towards it,
I hope someday all the hardwork pays.
I am not that kind of a person who likes to prove something to the world or show them what I am capable of,
but certainly I will call those few people who has expectations from me
to let them know that I have achieved what I wanted.
I know I am sounding like an emotional fool but that's how I am feeling now.

THE 'MYSTERY' MOVIE

Last night I saw this movie on one of the cable channels.
Although I missed the first 20 minutes and I had not even seen the promos of it so I did not know which movie it was.
And I bet if you are not allowed to see the start of movie you also would not be able to configure the name.
Normally I do not watch movies if I miss the start but there was something about the look in which the picture is shot that made we wait for a few minutes and try to configure which film it was(which I could not configure even after the film finished).
After a few scenes I saw Rajat Kapoor and at that moment only I knew I will watch this movie , even thouh I had a presentation to make today for a job.
For me that's the credibility that an actor should posses,
they should be able to attract the people to cinema theators to watch their work/performance.
As soon as the movie progressed I saw a totally different Rajat Kapoor from his previous films.
The way he used his silence combined with his expressions and the looks in eyes was really
wonderful.
In most of the scenes he remains silent still speaking a lot.
I don't know if any other actor today from bollywood would be able to do that.
Now something about the movie.
It's a very simple story , very neatly woven script around 2-3 characters.
At this moment I would like to mention something about the young filmmakers today is that
they really are coming up with some brilliant and differnet ideas, they don't have the backup of the star producers of bollywood but the content of their film is so good that they definately earn a name for themselvs, and that should be the biggest reward a filmmaker should be looking for, appreciation for his film by the mass but that does not happen always because people even fail to notice when such "small films" release(which happeend in this case).
Going back to movie second time.
Rajat Kapoor plays the main protagonist of a writer who has just been released from jail and
is writing a story dedicated to his wife.
Somehow he looses his briefcase in which he has all the manuscript of the story.
And then the story revolves around that briefcase , how it goes from one person to another.
It may sound weird but yes that is the story of the movie but I can tell you that when you watch the movie you might not like it very much but definately you will have a word of praise for the director and Rajat Kapoor.
And now I have to mention the name of the movie which I found from my "knowledge source"
GOOGLE(Mr.Larry Page and Mr.Sergey Brin you need to pay me for this advertisement) ,
It is "SIDDHARTH - THE PRISONER" .

KAMINEY

I have hardly updated my blog so early previously.
But a couple of songs from this move made me write about it.
The first one definately being "dhaan te naan", there is nothing great about the song but then the use of the tune "dhaan te naan" which almost all of us have used during childhood days at various occassions like when telling some story to our friends and I still remember it used to be the entry tune of the hero.
Vishal Bharadwaj has used that tune very nicely and the for the first time ever i thought that someone surpassed Sukhvinder Singh in a high pitch song and vishal dadlani succeded in it quite brilliantly.
Probably it's because of his rock music influences.
The other song that's making the round is "Pehli Bar Mohabbat" which is brialliantly sung by
Mohit chauhan.It definately will remind you of those beautiful moments with your partner.
There is a different kind of madness in his voice I dont know the exact word but probably it's called kashish, correct me if I am wrong.
It really has some really lovely lyrics listen to it carefully and I am sure you will love it.
The only problem with me in this case is that I have stopped listening to such love songs and even stopped watching love story based movies.
The other really nice song is the title song "Kaminey" which is a slow song but I was surprised to find that it is sung by Vishal Bharadwaj himself.
It's a nice slow song which some really interesting lyrics.
Something that I have noticed about the lyrics written by the vetren lyricst and writer Gulzar is that he seriously is writing some beautiful lyrics over the last few years, be it
"Slumdog Millionaire","omkara" or "Guru" .
Although many people knew him before "jai ho" also but it did shot him to the fame so late in his career.
Vishal Bharadwaj being the only few directors in bollywood who understands music and has an ear for it succeeds in creating an album with some really good songs.
The other songs are not as good but people in this country have strange taste so you might like the other songs also.

CHAANDAN ME

So....... updating the blog after a long time.
Hardly got some time to do anything as neices had come down in vacation.
Had a blast playing with them.
The youngest nephew(Gulgule), he really gave me some tough time .
Now they are gone I kinda miss them.
Another thing is that for the past couple of months I have really found it difficult to concentrate and I still am finding it difficult to handle few things in life.
I think the only way I will be able to divert my mind from all this is when I get a job when I wont have time to think about these things.
Now something which made me write about it, and that's Kailash KHer's new album "Chaandan me".
I was eagrly waiting for their third album and I must tell you that the wait was really worth it.
One thing that I really liked about their music is that over the years their music has really matured over the years.
Like their previous albums this again has very soft music(most of the songs).
Another thing that impresses you is the lyrics, although to understand the lyrics and meaning
people might find some difficulties but they do make a lot of sence(unlike today's songs).
I particularly liked the song 'BHEEG GAYA MERA MANN' , the title song is also good.
"Rang Rang Ma" did surprise me a bit bcoz it's the only song with some fast beats unlike other songs.
"Na Batati Tu" also comes as a surprise with it's fast beats.
The use of sitar in d song "Teri Yaad Me" alongwith its lyrics makes it standalone in the album.
"Tere Naina " also is very good again the lyrics are rally good.
"Ishq Ho Gaya" is good with its slow pace and some nice guitaring.
After a long time we have an album with all excellent songs.

29'TH APRIL 2009

DEV D ..... nope my new IPOD

yeah, I know the title sounds a bit confusing.But it's true.
I wanted to write something about DEV(ch*$#a)D but then i thought what's the point in writing about something which pissd me so much , rather write about something which is making me happy these days which is my iPod. Its a Shuffle 1 GB.Got it as a gift from brother.
But then I think writing aboou this crap movi will be the best remedy to decrease my frustration.
I was eagrly waiting for this movie to release and wanted to see it because I really like Anuraag Basu as a storyteller/director, but i dont know while watching the movie the scene where
Paro comes to Dev and tells him that her family members are thinking of her marriage and she expects him to talk to their families or whatever she thinks, and Dev tells her to leave.

At that moment I thought what a ch@#*ya fellow this man is, and then he proves it by getting drunk and unconscious in front of her in the marriage.

What pissd me off was I couldnt understand what he actually wanted?
And i dint feel like watching the movie thereafter.
I know most of the people liked the movie but then it's my view.
I dont feel like rating it , so i won't.
Now about my iPod, this truly has become my companion nowadays.
I was planning to buy a transcend MP3 player for some time now but I was really surprised when bro gifted it to me.
When i first saw that it's just 1GB i thought atleast it should have been 2GB.
but now after using it for almost a month now I feel that I really don't need more than this.

LIFE'S SO BUSY

updating the blog after long time , was kinda busy with studies .
Thankfully this Oracle thing will come to an end /should come to an end in the first week of may.
Then the second sem exam is also there so the may month will also be almost same but the family members are going to native place so will have some moment of relief, at times it feels good to spend some time alone. Also I am excited about my neices coming here they will be here by mid may , i am surely going to have some tough time while studying for the exams.
Then I am also happy wid the way things are progressing in life personal as well as professional (professional sounds weired).
1 more thing I dont know how I cleared 5 out of 6 subjects in my first sem , I have to thank god for that , i wish something like this happens this semester also , coz i seriously havent been able to chk the books becauase of these certification exams.
If someone reads this just wish me luck for my exams.

GHAJINI

Only the name of the film sounds diffenrent, there is nothing new to the story.
There has been so many films in the 90's with such storyline where the actor's girlfriend gets murdered by a villain and the only motive of the hero is to kill the villain.
It's kind of the same thing packaged in a different manner.
The thing that went in favour of the movie is that such story came after long time and then it's the magic of Aamir khan that he will make the same thing look different by doing it in a different manner.
Although it may sound strange but still i would say that it's the only hindi movie which is
adapted better than the original which is "MEMENTO".
IT's not that I dint like Memento but the way the story has been told in Ghajini convinced me more than Memento.
Talking about the music although the film dint really required songs with such storyline still
songs has been encorporated into it. But Rehmaan has done justice to them.
I dont know why a section of media are saying that lyrics by Prasoon Joshi is not that good, I dint find anything wrong with it.
Anothet thing is that Aamir khan carries the whole film throughout the movie alone ,there is nothing for Jiyah Khan to do and as for Aasin is concerned she lacked that extra bit to tickle the funny bone of audience.
But she looks good on screen.
They could have got some other actor to play the role of Ghajini, the actor looked totally unconvincing.
So, the film is about only 1 person.
Aamir is good in both his characters.He must be given credit for all the hardwork put in behind those bulging muscles.
I would say that if you have an option of watching either ghajini or Rab.... , then go for Ghajini
atleast it makes sense unlike Rab... where the actress fails to recognize the two different looks of her husband.
Ghajini on a scale of 1 to 5 will score 3 1/2.
