One evening when I was flying kite....

I sit silently looking at my kite

Which is flying above my head in the sky

Far away from the ground, dancing with the wind.

It looks so freedom and independent.

Happily dancing with the blowing wind.

Some time it looks so calm, like they are talking on a serious matter.

Sometime it looks so happy, by flying higher with the blowing wind.

Sometime it looks so angry, rounding its head like wishing to come down.

Sometime when wind stops blowing for a while, it comes down slowly and sad

When wind comes, it flies much higher. Seems they are in love.

Far away from the ground, my kite is dancing with the blowing wind.

But how long they will dance together?

Suddenly the wind stops blowing, wishing not to hurt the kite by blowing onto it.

Unknowing the truth that, it is the pain of resistance of air that makes the kite fly.

When wind stops coming to meet him, when wind stops dancing with him,

My kite came down to ground, it looks so sad and tired.

I collect it and kept in my room,

Thinking, tomorrow again I will go for kite flying.

Where my kite will get a chance to dance with the wind.

But my kite looks so tired, will it fly again?

Real Vs Virtual world

“On a day Sachin hit his 100^th century, Pranab slammed it in, too. He’s saved you Rs 4,500 crore in direct taxes, but taken away 10 times that through indirect taxes, making the Rs 41,440 crore mop-up the largest ever. Excise duty is up across the board, and almost all services – including eating out, mobile bills and AC rail travel (Mamata, take note) – will now cost more “

- THE TIMES OF INDIA, date – march 17, 2012

Today’s newspaper is half occupied by Sachin’s 100 and half by Pranab’s budget. I am not writing neither about Sachin’s accomplishment nor Pranab’s budget, here I am writing about virtual world. After referring to newspaper I went and open internet – some news website, facebook and gmail. I found Sachin and Pranab is not only in newspaper but also in virtual world, they are everywhere and occupied large section of news website, twitter and facebook etc.

Yes it is hot news and it is ought to be. But there is something difference and extra thing you can see in the virtual world that you cannot find in the real world. Because of this, some people come up with the view saying after few years the print media may extinct from our life and it will be killed by the virtual world. ohhh! I didn’t mention what is that extra things I got in virtual world today. I went to website, the same news was updated in the website too, but there is a comment section. That comment section makes the page more attractive to me. I could see the comments and views of the people, though some comments are stupid and some are very informative. Because of this virtual world, the sharing of news is added with sharing of views; in some cases views are more interesting and informative than the news itself. And also in some cases when news is wrong, the commenters give the true information. It seems the world is getting more transparent.

Facebook / social sites are also an interesting place of virtual world; it is like a place for gossiping. But it is beyond gossiping, it is the place where idea and information is shared. There are few groups in facebook where you can see the serious people with serious idea and ideology. You can find few people who keep on sharing the positive message, also people who keep on criticizing the systems and government, different people with different idea and different activity. The interesting thing we can get after thinking is the reason why people do share their ideas and philosophy in facebook. They share information, that is because they want to influence others behaviour (exception cases are there).

Information leads to knowledge and knowledge is the power. How? Oh! I cannot explain you, but believe me knowledge is the power. Our lack of knowledge and information give chances to other to exploit us. Can we consider knowledge as tangible? If we look on the characteristics of knowledge it is intangible because we cannot touch it, see it and feel it. But if we look on its ability and capability we could say it is more of tangible because it brings changes. Every changes takes place is directly or indirectly related to knowledge and information.

Since virtual world is run by knowledge and information never underestimate it, never underestimate the power of facebook and other social sites. Don’t just criticize facebook just because many do fun here. Because knowledge is power and it is shared better in virtual world. But don’t allow it to affect your real life too. Balance it and be a good manager of virtual and real world.

Movie.......................

There are few movies I never tired of watching repeatedly. Because these few movies tell about the life, about the meaning of the life, about those moments that give meaning to someone’s life, and about those tradeoffs that are must for adding meaning to life in a short span of 1 to 2 hour time. More importantly I appreciate the great works and I love to see the great things produce by great people because of their great efforts. Movie is one where we can see the excellence in a very short time, and its excellence is prove by the impact it gives to us on the way we think and the way we feel by triggering the hormones of feel good. The thing I got to know is, every great movie is made perfect because of small moments, small dialogues, and every small beautiful things.

Everyone is busy in celebrating Holi, and I am sitting in front of my laptop watching an already watched movie. And since, I get easily bored with doing routine work, which is more of like doing repeated things; I knew that I will get easily bored if I watch the already seen movie with the same way I had been watching it. Therefore today I just change the way of watching and I enjoyed. It gives me so much pleasure I could not stop myself from sharing it. Actually sharing is also part of the new way of watching the movie.

"Don't ever let anybody tell you they're better than you, Forrest. If god int

ended everybody to be the same, he'd have given us all braces on our legs."

"You know it's funny what a young man recollects? 'Cause I don't remember bein' born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world."

"I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was like an angel."

Young Jenny: "Are you stupid or something?"

Young Forrest: "Mama says, stupid is as stupid does."

"Now, you wouldn't beieve it if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running."

"Now, it used to be I ran to get where I was going. I never thought it would take me anywhere."

"Now for some reason, I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It's not really hard. You just make your bed real neat, and remember to stand up real straight, and always answer every question with "Yes, Drill Seargeant."

Jenny: "Why are you so good to me?"

Forrest: "You're my girl."

Jenny: "I'll always be your girl."

6.

"Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life."

7.

Forrest: "Why are you dying, Mama?"

Mrs. Gump: "It's my time. It's just my time. Oh, now, don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life. Something we're all destined to do. I didn't know it, but I was dentined to be your mama. I did the best I could."

Forrest: "You did good, Mama."

Mrs. Gump: "Well, I happen to believe you make your own destiny. You have to do the best with what God gave you."

Forrest: "What's my destiny, Mama?"

Mrs. Gump: "You're going to have to figure that out for yourself. Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're going to get."

Forrest: "Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them."

Mrs. Gump: "I will miss you, Forrest."

Forrest: "She had got the cancer and died on a Tuesday. I bought her a new hat with little flowers on it. And that's all I have to say about that."

8.

Jenny: "Were you scared in Vietnam?"

Forrest: "Yes. Well, I... I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water like that mountain lake, it was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the deasert, when the sun comes up... I couldn't tell where the heaven stopped and the earth began. It was so beautiful."

Jenny: "I wish I could have been there with you."

Forrest: "You were."

9.

"I don't know if Mama was right or if it... it's Lieutinant Dan. I dan't know... if we each have a... destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze... but I... I think maybe it's both. Maybe both get happening at the same time. But I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need... I won't be far away."

* Now I am sure what i am doing by putting up some clips and quotes from the movie. Actually I was thinking of writing few personal views on every clipping and quotes but i have some important work to finished..
