Farewell to my old CRT TV :*

Farewell to my old CRT TV :*
Its time to blog on a thing , which stood with me making me laugh and cry and thing ,
and even sleep on times .
I remember watching black and white TV at my grandfather's place.
I still remember the Black Solidaire tv , with 10 channel keys .
Infact We never got a chance to use the 10 keys as all we had was just 2 channels -
DD1 and DD2 :)  Those were good . Myself and sister used to run from school ,
not to miss the Alladin cartoon they put in DD1 by 4.00PM .
Its on weekends we get to watch a movie in DD1 .
We hardly had some serials in DD1 , and those were really classic .
Not to mention the rush and hush , we had a great time with the TV.





Then came the Cable !!
Lots of channels , all time programs .
Lots to choose from ...
You dont need to run anymore to watch a cartoon program :)
You have channels dedicated for Cartoons , and channelds dedicated for films :)
DD1 and DD2 was no more a favourite ..
Then time came to buy the new BPL tv, with remote :p
Now we have cable to watch many channels and a remote in hand to sit and change the world
Thats cool . Someone is the operator and others just say , Next Next Next :)
From thrills to cheap adds, we sat together a lot of years in front of that box,
and time came after 10 years , that it started breathing its last breath ,
and we had the choice to choose from LCD to LED :)
Then i went to the shop, and found a pretty cool AKAI LED .
Now we still have the BPL . It works some how ...
Over the time , one thing we found missing ...
Sitting together and watching programs ...
When there were only two channels , the entire family sits together
and watchwed a program .
Now that we have many to choose from , we have choices.
Dad watching news channels , mom watching serials ,
sister watching music channels and me watching good same cartoons and Movies :p
With direct link to AV , we dont even need to walk to change the modes.
Life has changed , and so do we .

An old hobby :)

This is been pulled back . Today in my office , after almost two years gap, there it comes again !!

Photography competition !
I remember days when i was searching out for beautiful locations for Shoot !!
Early mornings and late nights , playing the shutter sppeds and lights !

That was long time back , when i was free , waiting for my first job , with almost 8 months gap after my graduation !! - Oh no ... It had nothing to do with me . It was a college placement and i have nothing to do with this ! It was an absolute break ! An absolute offer from GOD !

I learned some animation , some photography , and some music this time ....
Went for guitar classes, roamed around with camera to click anything that moves to anything that never moves :)  Bunked animation classes to go for new movies released , and it was a lot of fun ..

As i got stuck with my works and Photography never been my passion , but just a time passing hobby , i just stopped clicking ... Just like that !!

Now that after years , these competions reminds me of those days and i thought of posting some of my snaps which i took those days :)

Are we seeing any secure future here ??????

Are will living in a poisonous world ?
Its the new Facebook and Twitting Era !
Sitting at the comfort of our chair, we know whats happening around the people we want to know !!

What is the so much hype about this ?
Well lets re-wind a little ...
I know how my parents used to highlight their school days
and compare it with our days .
They can never be convinced of the beauty of the present !!
Our Internet, technology development , all are the reason .
Well .... to know what we missed , we really need to feel what we had !!
Recently i saw a post in one of my friend's facebook Wall, a very strange post!!
I am not going to retype what i read over there ... It was sooo strange that ,
when i checked his wall later after one day , his post is removed!!
The point is a person's stupidity will be realised later and he might remove it.
But this era has captured it . It captures every moment .
By the time you realise your stupidity , it would have been viewed by many !!
Mobiles are studded with 10 and 15 MP Cameras !!
Along with high speed Internet connections handy with everyone!!
Internet accessible from almost all devices !!

Years back,When people say something stupid , or do something stupid,
it stays maximum within a limited number of people .
But now the case is different !

Are we seeing any secure future here or a rather poisonous years ahead ,
with an eagle eye watching our moves daily ?

One day even Taj Mahal and other wonders will be digged out !!

We are digging out the Mayan remains and having fun!!
Yippee.... there is some skeleton . May be a Mayan King ?
Or Queen or at least a Mayan Servant ~!
Who knows , may be one day people will dig out Taj Mahal and say ...
Wow ... Good construction . This is made of Marble . Good ...
Life has changed a lot . One thing is clear .
We might be far from the Dinosaurs period ,
but not too far from the humans ,
but still we find gaps and doubts of how many places are hidden beneath the land and sea!!
How many civilisation vanished ?!!
How this gap was formed ?
What happened ?
Why even the Mayans who are really the best as claimed in reading the signs of nature
and following calendars which can detect the changes in the nature and the solar system ,
cant find the way to escape their death of the entire civilisation ?

Nature is great . It can create as well as destroy.
It was natures idea to create Mayan like many civilizations and make them live for some time ,
and then destroy them completely !!
Nature dint want us to dig and find it !!
But we did it .
So do the coming civilisations !!
So my thought is , why not the next generation digs out our culture one day
One day even Taj Mahal and other wonders will be digged out !!

If we want to save anything, we first need to truly appreciate it

7 wonders of the world !! If we want to save anything, we first need to truly appreciate it

I have been going through this just like that a striking interest felt in the 7 wonders of the world !
How this is decided !! who decides this ? And stuffs like that !!
This is the website which gives a lot of information on this topic :
http://www.new7wonders.com/en/the_whole_world_of_new7wonders/about_new7wonders/mission_statement_new7wonders_of_nature/

The story goes like this :
Need to thank an Athens Engineer who came up with a list of 7 places in the world which he needs to travel and see ....
that's how this number 7  comes into action !!
Scientifically this number "7" is a great number .
This is according to the scientists, a number of things which a human brain can
remember as the number of things to be kept as remembering .

If we want to save anything, we first need to truly appreciate it!!
Lets check the present 7 wonders of the world
The Pyramid at Chichén Itzá
Christ Redeemer
The Roman Colosseum
The Great Wall of China
The Taj Mahal
Petra
Machu Picchu


and the best part is the there is a new list coming up !!
The 7 wonders of the nature's official declaration is going to happen on 11.11.2011.

Mom's Birthday

May 3rd ....

I know how worse her year was - 2010 . We were together facing the worst days of our family. We still be together for everything . But this is one day in year, where we gift her and wish her .

I usually plan a lot for dear one's birthday . But this time there were no plans .
She lost her wrist watch some days back , and i thought a watch would be the perfect gift for her !

Way back from office bought her one ...
Time was not much left as most of the shops were closing, so i had to rush .


Missing those good old days ....

She was happy .

Happy Birthday Mom....

Now that he is dead........

Finally News Channels have a real BREAKING NEWS !!
"Ravana was killed by Raman"    Oops ... sorry ... thats an old news .

Osama was killed by Obama ... Hey, this sounds cool.
In fact just a letter is different !

World is fighting against Terror !


What happens when the Founder of an institution dies ?
Institution is closed down ?
Well the answer depends on many factors :

But its a sure "NO", when the founder has foreseen his death and planned everything ,
and made sure steps for running the institution even after his death !!

So ... now that he is dead ..... what next ?

Wait a min ....
Well how many times will you kill someone .
Is this an old news again ? :p

Lets hope the struggle for fighting the terror continues ...
Lets save the world .

Long live Peace ....
