Basketball : A disease for me

On a non descript day i was infected with a disease which had symptoms of jumping up and try to shoot ....i couldnt get myself cured as i kept going to the court without knowing anything about this game and striving to play it ....well to make things worse I was 6 2 tall and hideous with the game and was never was able to use my height to desired effect....as time passed I tried my best to pick the game...

Fast forward to some years later

slowly i realised i was doing better in the game (i am still bad ) ....but this game is a disease i love it ....it never has a dull moment , its always keeps you agile.....though i am not playing the game as much as i would have liked.....

do i see NBA beckoning :))

Airbus 380 : bigger the better ??

On jan 19 an epochal moment took place a superjumbo plane with 555 seating capacity was unveiled to the world , the product of Airbus a EADS unit which is a confluence of 4 countries coming togather to challenge Americas very own Boeing . Lengths have been written about the subsidies being given to Airbus to carry out its R & D ......now shift focus to superjumbo plane many analysts say as world gets populated the need of bigger plane will automatically arise , this decade there has been manifold increase in the air traffic .....but seating togather 850 ppl is not a joke !! the airports world around should be well equipped to get the security checks on time , then the baggage issue also lingers imagine to wait for your bag with 850 passengers can be aggravating ....
there is a talk to get the food trolleys scrapped as to allow passenger to risk his life at the food counters !!! in a way it can give ppl a truly out of world experience and also make their flight more luxurious ...i am not sure whether this is done being done at this particular plane

Airbus expects to sell most of his A 380 to asian countries and they are optimistic about breaking even at the earliest ....

Spiritual Awakening

Everyone goes thru a time when he starts thinking abt his life ,death or purpose on earth ..why is here ..the questions like these keep haunting me day after day ..it can happen to anyone for some such enlightment comes early for others later in their life ....this excruciating time results due to ones long time suffering or ones personal loss when the individual finds himself closer to GOD...i went thru this too ...And what i have learnt from these times is that good and bad times are part and parcel of ones life noone can escape it (even Jesus had to face testing times during his stay ) so one has to ride the tide....

a diamod is just another stone which did better in pressure !!

Keep the faith !!!

Mutants (X men 3 ??)

I love X- men series about the mutants....probably in future we might get to see these mutants due to drasctic climatic changes resulting in species to adapt if they dont well extinction will take place.. ..as Charles Darwin correctly pointed it is not the fittest or strongest that will survive it will be those ready to change ...rightly said sir...what happened to dinosour truly justifies the above statement .....

Wolverine happens to be my fav mutant he is a cut above than rest of the mutants .....his power to heal its own wounds gives him that much needed edge over others .....

I dont know whether movie series of X men will be revived as currently the director bryan singer associated with it has moved on to direct the Superman !!...still i ll be waiting for X men if there was one as so many mutants to be shown on screen .....also to add both X men movies were a good draw as BO so makes sense to make many more !!

Outsourcing!!

Much has been said about this hot topic during elections what i felt was it was used as a rhetoric by the politicians to gain much needed momentum in their election campaigns and now all the hot air has fizzled out ....

No dont get me wrong i do sympathesize and empathesize with the people who lost jobs lost it could have been me too :( ..but we got to see the the bigger picture for outsourcing as it helps the companies to cut costs and protect them from being going financially bust ..its a do or die situation for them....usually the jobs outsourced are of lower end and the company which saves money can invest in R & D and create higher end jobs for its people so in the longer run it seems the ppl are profited as they get to work on cutting edge technologies and with a better package too ....

so alls not lost !!!

p.s last heard there was a talk of US elections to be outsourced as the process was replete with mistakes...:))

Death : A Beginning or End !!

I know it sounds it too creepy to talk about ones death but why not there is so much blood and gore around it can be any one us who can be dead at any time ...death doesnt come with a warning ....savant says our birth and death dates are decided well before we arrive on this planet ....Also LORD has managed to do a striking balance between death and life so well and kept the life cycle functioning seamlessly like lexus engine (i am bad at metaphors pardon!).....

well the agenda for this blog is after death what happnes?? There has been none who rose from dead and aftermath told us (do we really get to see GOD ) ...It is according to me the biggest mystery of life oh ok after women :))....

what I really want to know is are we able to think like we do now or we just cease to exist mentallt after we die (No wonder some ppl wants to be immortal).....What it feels to be dead no no i dont want to be dead but cant help thinking about and no ..i dont have any suicidal tendencies too I just wanted to know whether we end up goin to another dimension which is highly possible in another form ......

Well it remains to be seen if I have net connection available in afterlife if i do then i ll def keep you posted online community rest assured !!!!!!!

waiting for SIN CITY !

Now then saw the intial glimpses of SIN CITY , wow flick looks slick ,...summer of 2005 does pack a punch .....I think it will be a movie to watch out for !!

The movie is based on comic strip of the same name ......

Movies of 2004 !!

This year oops last year Hollywood had everything to offer for all the people with movies interests from animation , superheroes , historical, drama , documentary ..hollywood didnt leave any genre untouched to woo its audiences ..it ran the whole gamut of movies .

I did catch some of the flicks like spiderman 2 (awesome), day after tomorrow (a dull one but did have a good box office draw !!) , troy (good), Harry potter (enjoyable)......

But my favorite time of the year usually comes when the year is ending and all big studios are pushing their so called oscar worthy movies for oscar reconisition .........

This year Aviator looks promising and Martin scorcesse needs to get his long due oscar statutte also leonardo may be able to score a surprise victory over Jamie foxx brilliant potrayal of Ray charles and others ...but one may never know as Academy is known for springing up surprises.....

Sideways has won critical claim and can be the darkhorse at the oscars but major setback this movie faces is absent of any famous actors in lead starcast........

In animation , Shrek 2 should win hands down but Incredibles might possibly can act a thorn in Dreamworks celebration......
