Movies

Don't think what's this guy got to say about 'Movies', he is anyway a dud in that subject . So what's in store.

We do not need to be the same always and can heed to feedback and suggestions that your friends give. Certainly all good feedbacks can be taken and worked upon. That's what i have done.

Lots of my friends watch movies, some of them like Tinku aka Kishore, Goks and Udupps aka Anand are big time movie buffs. Absolute movie gurus from my view.

I really wondered why and how are these fellow spending so much time on watching movies. its boring , always been a critic of these fellows.

Very recently Kishore just made a remark on me saying "Dude you need to grow up" Watch movies.

Well i tried to heed to his advice and interestingly during the period that i was actually thinking, conversation amongst my friends started flowing on some movies and their reviews typical discussions as you can expect them to be and to be honest these were just not any other discussions but really intense and open . I took keen interest and understood how these discussions panned out.

I thought to myself , so ok let me give it a try. Let me take some time to watch movies i.e. quality ones.

The pinnacle of it came yesterday ,while i was flying back from London . Watched two movies of different kind. One was "Hitch" where Will Smith weaves his magic and the other one was Erin Bronkovich , Julia Roberts was truly outstanding and her portrayl of the character was simply awesome.

I actually watched them back to back straight four hours. After i watched both these movies ,i felt so light and it makes you think gosh that's intersting.

Movies i realize need not only be to pass time , they do have messages and it makes you start thinking . "Innovative thinking" .

I am still a long way off to get near to our movie Guru's but am certain to catch them.

Folks watch this space.

Tinku, Goks, Uddups thanks to all of you. Ofcourse you all direct me into what's so called the "Quality film Space" and not any other movies. Always looking for your guidance on this subject.

Truly Multi Cultural

Multi Cultural, what does it mean. In my view it is where people from different culture and walks of life live together.

The best example that i have for a truly multi cultural place is London. When one walks in the street or travels by the bus or the Tube , it is easy to get confused where you are. One can easily spot different vagaries of people.

Right from Chinese, Indian, American, Latino what not you name it and you are bound to find them. Its truly amazing to see how people from different societies come together and amalgamate.

London is truly a epicenter of multi faceted city and in that sense is an undisputed leader in that front.

I cannot imagine another city in the world which could be as multi cultural as London,yes Tokyo,Hong Kong,Amsterdam,Frankfurt,Chicago all do vie for that spot but my take is that London wins it hands down.

Valuable Lessons Learnt

I am a big fan of learning by travelling and i firmly believe that travelling teaches you a lot.

No better way to put this to test than to see it in action.

I am staying in a hotel on a business visit . Yesterday, as usual got bored and did not venture out to eat anything , so ordered stuff via room service.

After 30 minutes of patience, the door bell rang and i see this room service person carrying a huge tray with my food ,not that i ordered for so much. I began to think well that should be an easy job for him.

He left the food on the table , food was crap and after i half finished the food, i said to myself enough was enough so now let me leave the food tray outside as adviced by room service.

So here i am carrying this big tray and as you could imagine in a blip i dropped the whole tray and my room was in complete mess.

Lesson One - Never Take any ones job for granted , only when you try it ,you'll know what it takes to do it.

Then i called the room service and said i need my room to be cleaned . After couple of minutes a lady came.I was now cautiously thinking well should how would she clean this mess.

Believe me or not in ten minutes with absolute precision , she cleaned all the broken glasses and the food that was strewn all over the place .The room was back to its usual self,spick and span.

She cleaned all the mess in my room , turned around to me and said sir,are you happy that your room is now ok!

I was just dumb struck, i went over and thanked her and opened the door for her so she could carry her stuff out.

Lesson Two - If one has dedication to his or her job, any job is enjoyable .

Very valuable lessons learnt.
