Boyhood

Boyhood have..
A. Not a great story.
B. Too many superstar
C. took 12 years to make
D. Very slow speed.
E. All of above.

Yup, A movie which took 12 long years to make is a real masterpiece. It's because of charm of movie. It's because of passion and compassion director have about film. That's the only reason it's at 58th place in TOP 250 movie list on IMDB in just 5 months of it's release.

Boyhood is movie written and directed by Linklater and acted by Ellar Coltrane. It's released on 11th July 2014 in USA. It has been in many film festivals. Already won 10 awards and nominated for more then 15 category.

We are always fond of people who grew up around us or with us, because we have seen them at different stage of life. For example, our kids, our sibling, our friends whom we know from not only years but sometime decade or more. This type of relationship bring lots of emotions and specially way their thinking and our thinking ideology, talking behaviour changes. It's continuous process but we see it after some time.

Actors have been same for 12 years and that's the heart of story. Boyhood is story of Mason who is 5 years old kid who watch sky, do study and play games with her sibling and he grew up to be 18 year old young cool boy who is studying in college, having a girlfriend and passed through many phases of his life. he is transforming from boy to adult.

It's very very fascinationg to see a cute little boy at starting of movie is cool photographer at end of movie. and it's not with any computer effect or other make up. it's real and that what makes it cool and awesome. This movie doesn't contain any hi-fi things or any other great stories. it's just simple story said in simple words but there are some scenes that make it beautiful.

At some place movie get slow or goes without much motive, but it's all about mason. It's all about his normal life and changes he feel from age 5 to 18.

This movie is must watch for everybody who love simplicity and passion of life. Watch it for mason and those years of life that crafted very very beautifully on screen.

With Love,
Smit

Alvida Orkut

"Oye tujhe pata hai, isme ham sabhi Ke msg pad sakte hai" he said
" matlab tune kisi se Baat ki ho to wo me bhi dekh sakta hu? Sahi hai yr. Ise kahte kya hai?" I asked
"ORKUT" He replied.

This is first time I heard about it from my friend manish Lunja a.k.a. Dada. It was year 2005 and I had goosebumps just to imagine I can read profile of girls and read their messages. Today after 9 long years orkut is going to shutdown. But memories will be there always.

Before ORKUT yahoo messenger was only place for chat. And there were various rooms for chat but most of them are having ID like superstar_245 or cool_girl_4_u and many others. But but both side knows they are fake. And conversation started with "ALS please" and end with. " First u share ALS or bye"

After this orkut comes into picture where you can upload photos,upload status, send scrap, make groups, write testimonials for friends wish birthday to friends. It was just whole new world for youth back then. It was not hit as Facebook or twitter but it was too famous in college students. To be on orkut was cool thing. Send scrap to people and write testimonials was awesome.

There were no smartphone, so cyber cafe was only source for internet and pay 10 or 15 rs per hour ( or 5 rs. Each if you share it with ur friend) was to check if there is any scrap or friend request on ur orkut profile. There had been so many people I interact with on orkut. For example I was very big fan of jay vasavada back then n I send a scrap to him n he replied. That was a moment of joy. Although now a days you can easily tweet or send fb msg to ur fav celebrity. But back then it was great.

There had been groups of Kutch Bhuj and others. Also we had group meeting of many people who are from bhuj on orkut. And we had around 15-20 ppl meet who are from bhuj but not familiar to each other.

As the time pass orkut left its charm. Mass has taken over class. Ppl starts sending spam scraps. And FACEBOOK emerged. Up to 2008-09 it capture over orkut and people migrated to fb n twitter.

Google is going to shutdown orkut today but it will never go away from our heart. Orkut is not only web portal it was a friend for us.

I like to thank all those fellas I had chance to meet n interact on orkut. Some of them are very close friends now.

RIP ORKUT

An Open Letter to Arvind Kejriwal

Dear sir,

28th December 2013, Saturday. I was one of happiest people of India who thought, "Yes now we will change". There are thousands of people came in your swear-in ceremony. You were so simple yet smart and over all, it was "Dream comes true" moment. Sir, you and your team had really struggled lot to achieve that and I must congratulate you for that.But real question is, why I congratulate right now? Answer of this question is reason I am writing this letter to you.

I would like to go back and remind you glimpse of few things, which changed Indian Politics. First of them was, next day to India won cricket world cup in April 2011, there was Dharna by IAC in Jantar Mantar and people across india came there. and that was the first time I and many others like me come to know about you. Anna was face of that Dharna but you were actual brain after that thing. I really admire you for your timing at that time.

It was more fascinating when you did it again. and this time it was more controversial as anna hazzare was taken to jail and then released and it was 13 day high drama happen at Jantar Mantar and whole nation was watching at you as next massiah. If election took place at that day you will surely get 500 out of 543 electoral seats.

After that you seat on fast for lokpal bill and on first day tv channels were interviewing your kids and parents regarding your fast. You had that fast for 10 days and said political fight is only option. And I totally respect that. You have your party in Aam Aadmi Party in November 2012. and Just in one year you became Chief Minister of Delhi and that's why I congratulate and respect you.


But sir, what happen after you become CM? In just time span of several days, you come to know that politicians will not allow you to work. Every BJP and Congress leader was saying why you are not bringing Lokpal in Delhi. and on the day you bring it. They said it's against law and Constitution of India. and you resigned.

Till last few days, I, unlike many other indians, thinking you are different and we should not see you like same glasses we watch to other politicians. but in this few days your tone has changed, Why should not we treat you like Nitish Kumar or Naveen Patnayak or any other politician. Again sir,  There is nothing wrong in what you did as politician but as leader you broke heart of many indians like me.


Fighting against Modi, is really master stroke as politician. but way you behave in gujarat or in bangluru is not like you. Sir you talk about fighting against corruption and make party out of it and then won a election. but when you fight in Loksabha election, you says "Communal Problems are worse then Corruption" This is not what I accept from you.

You came to gujarat and you spend 2 days out of ur 4 days in Kachchh, which is place where I live, People asked you some tough questions and you avoided it as smart politician. and I respect that. but if you want to do that then accept that you are politician who change his colors depend on time.

I know many people told you this, but I am repeating it one more time. That give us just one good thing for why we vote for you in this election? Even if you win, you are not going to make a government. You are also saying that there will be election in next one year if we vote for you. Isn't it better we vote for party which can stay in power for next 5 years, give india stability and growth? and in 2019, you come with all power and master politician. Be our Prime Minister and solve all this problems.


Thank you for your valuable time to read this (if you ever read that)

Regards,

Smit

Book Review: Dork Series

On Twitter, I follow one account of @sidin, His name is Sidin Vadukat and I started following him due to his comments of Cricinfo He always posts funny and insightful tweets. After some months, I realized he is a well known author of Dork Series and I ordered them same day. I read all 3 of them and now like to share my view on those books.


Dork is story written in Diary Format. So It's totally different from story telling where we are having people talking to each other and doing things. Here reader is part of story as a diary. You indulge yourself deeply due to way it's written. Another best thing about this format is it requires you to think about situation and apply your mind to create environment because in this style author can't create a complete scene.


Story of books is based on Robin ‘Einstein' Varghese who completed his MBA from prestigious college and started working in MNC. He is from Kerala. and He think he is smartest person on earth. I will not explain story here as it's situation based comedy. Apart from incidents happen to him, His thinking is very well crafted. Author put his thoughts in such a simple way that we alwyas think "ya I did that thing" or " Ya that fellow was exectly like robin" . This intensity is shown in book.

Book is best seller and there are 3 parts of book and You will thourghly enjoy every part of it.

If you are fond of Office Culture Humour, Just go for it.

Enjoy,

Love

Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana- master card

Prime minister Narendra modi has today innugrated a Jan dhan yojana to nation. A very simple thing in scheme is that each individual should have an account. Which is zero balance. He have debit card and then insurance. This scheme is very simple but let's see how it works from everyone's perspective.

Government prospective :

Government of India (a.k.a. Narendra Modi) has played this trump card in first 100 days of power. Mission behind this is to reach out to poorest people. They were under pressure to give back something early after that huge victory. But his style is different. He focused on this sector because this touches people life most everybody love money and specially easy money. GoI had created illusion of that. This will be indeed path breaking scheme with simple and crucial element like bank account and insurance. Govt machinery supporting bankers completely to make this mission successful.

Bankers view

At first view banks are having disadvantage as they need to work hard n open many new account. But it will be very fruitful and earning even if 50% of account work regularly. Also need to understand that this account bring money in market. Which boost moral n economy of bank. Banks are updating themselves for this to explore new territory of business in village.

People's view

People are happy first that they got something for free. In village ppl get banks which change their living standards high. They will not take no as answer for opening of account.

On 26th January we review it again

Congrats to Ronak Baxi...

This blog is specially to congrats Mr. Ronak Baxi for securing first rank in Kachchh University. I would like to congratulate him on this great achievement.

Frankly speaking, I am not writing this blog for his achievement but this is for his attitude. Being very humble and passionate about learning. He is one of guy you always want to be with. There are some moments in your life which can either make you or break you. and although he never shared with me but I know he had faced many moments like that and everytime he become more and more stronger.

A person should have two qualities to be successful 1 is passion about work and 2 is dedication. and Ronak have both of them. When we watch 3 idiots, we all loved rancho as he always says to bunk college and not to read. but at end of exam, he always stood first. Ronak proved something like that.and we all are proud of that.

One more thing, University Topper is not most important thing Ronak achieved but confidence he will get from this will be very helpful in future endeavour. One more thing before signing off. A request to Ronak is "just be who you are... Be Humble.. Be Happy.. and Enjoy...."

Thank you for making me small part of your great Success..
