Thats how the Winners are Made!


పని వత్తిడి లో ఉండి మైల్ చెక్ చేయడానికే టైం ఉండడం లేకపోయేసరికి
you must read this buddy అని  మెసేజ్
కామెంట్ మోడరేషన్ కే టైం దొరకడం లేదంటే ఈ మేసేజ్లేంటి అని అన్నా చిరాగ్గా 
నువ్వు ఇది చదవాలి ఇది చదవాలి అని మా ఫ్రెండ్ కాల్స్ భరించలేక ఈరోజు చదివాక బాగా నచ్చి షేర్ చేస్తున్నా!
 
loved every part of conversation :)
 
IITian and Rickshaw-wala

           
   This one is delightfully interesting to read.

           
             There were two rickshaw-walas vying for our business, when we wanted to go to Sankat-Mochan temple in Benaras. I agreed to go with the one, who was about 20 years of age, seemed like a regular young rickshaw-wala, but I found something interesting about him. I was not proved wrong.


He wanted Rs 50, we said Rs 30. We settled for Rs 40.


Here are the highlights of the conversation that ensued, while we rode the rickshaw:


             "Aap kahan se aaye hain?"


"Delhi."


            "Bijness, ya kaam karte hain?"


"Naukri karte hain."



            "Kismein?"


"Internet mein."


            "Humara bhi kuch wahin kaam lagwa dijiye."


I just chuckled.


            "Main try kar raha hoon engineering padhne kee. Achchi naukri lag jaayegi tab."


"Achcha?" I asked a little interested.


"Haan, delhi mein Guru Gobind Singh Indraprashta University mein engineering ke liye apply kiya hai. Achchi hai woh university."


"Haan, achchi hai", I agreed.


            "Haan, kal hee maine JEE bhi diya."


"JEE matlab, IIT ka?"


            "Haan, Joint Entrance Examination" he pronounced it perfectly.Just to make it clear to me what JEE stood for. "Mushkil hota hai exam."


            "Haan, 2 saal toh log padhte hee hain uske liye, asaan nahin hai."



            "Delhi mein Akaash coaching institute hain na?"


"Haan, hai."


            "Aapne kya padhai kee?"


"Main engineer hoon, aur phir MBA bhi kiya."


            "Kahan se engineer?"


"IIT Delhi se."


            He swung back, surprised, a little delighted, and smiled. "Ok,


aapke liye Rs 30."


Swati and I laughed.


Swati asked "Padhai kab karte they IIT ke liye?"


            "Bas, rickshaw chalaane ke baad raat mein". Then he added


"Kismein engineering kee aapne?"


"Chemical."


            "Toh aapki Chemistry toh badi strong hogi."


"Nahin, aisa nahin hai."


            He continued "Yeh bataiye....jab Mendeleev ne Periodic Table banaya tha tab kitne elements they usmein?"


Now it was my turn to get surprised. He was quizzing me. I said "Shayad 70-80."


            "No, 63" he said sharply. "Kaunse element kee electronegativity highest hai?"


Swati was laughing, and I didnt try too hard and said "Pata nahin."


"Flourine", he said confidently. Without a break he asked,"Kaunse element kee electron affinity highest hoti hai?"


Now I was laughing too and said "Nahin pata"


            "Chlorine. toh aapka kaunsa subject strong tha?" clearly having

proven that my chemistry wasn't a strong point.


"Physics", I said.


            "Achha, Newton's second law of motion kya hai?"


I thought I knew this one. "F=ma", I said.


            "Physics is not about formula, it is understanding concept!",  he reprimanded me in near perfect English. "Tell me in statement"


I was shocked. Swati continued to laugh.

I said "ok, Newtons second law, er....was...."


            " 'Was' nahin, 'is'!Second law abhi bhi hai!" he snapped at my use of 'was'.


Surely, my physics wasn't impressing him either. "Yaad nahin, I said"


            "Force on an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object", he said it in near perfect English.
"Aapne M.Tech nahin kiya?"


"Nahin, MBA kiya"


            "MBA waale toh sirf paisa kamana chahte hain, kaam nahin karte."


"Nahin, aisa nahin hai, paisa kamaane ke liye kaam karna padta hai."  Didn't think too highly of me apparently anymore.


In a minute we reached our destination. We got off and I told

him that he must and should definitely study more, and that I thought he was sharp as hell. He took only Rs 30, smiled and began to leave. I got my camera out and said "Raju, ek photo leta hoon tumhari". He waved me off, dismissed the idea and rode off before I could say anything more....leaving me feeling high and dry like a spurned lover.

Damn, what a ride that was! India is changing, and changing fast.

         
             And so it goes !!!!!

జిమ్మర జేజేలు !!


సుడిగుండాలకు సైతం సుడి తిప్పించగల సంగీత మహాసాగర మా రాజా గారు అయితే 
అపశృతి ని అరాచకత్వం తో అందలమెక్కించడానికి తయారైన మహా హాహా పురుషుడు జయసూర్య
ఎవడు కొడితే దిమ్మ తిరిగి జిమ్మ పడిపోతుందో వాడే Hans Zimmer 

ఎంత గొప్ప సినిమా అయినా,అంత కంటే గొప్ప నటులు ఉన్నాకూడా సంగీతం అనేది లేకుంటే ఆ  సినిమా పరిస్థితి సచిన్ లేని క్రికెట్, ఫెదరర్ లేని టెన్నిసే !

నాకు ఊహతెలిసి సినిమా చూసి ఏడ్చిన మొదటి సినిమా మాతృదేవోభవ అయితే
మూడో సినిమా మాత్రం Rain Man.
Dustin Hoffman నటన వల్ల  వచ్చిన కన్నీళ్ళేనా అని చిన్నతనం లో అనుకున్నా :))
ఊహ తెలిసాక Zimmer పనితనానికి ఫంకా అయిపోయా!

my All time favorite





how one can forget this

Some of the pics from Hans Studio.. Really Amazing!












"I took the idea of anarchy...and then I thought, what if I could define a character in one note?" - Hans on the sound of The Joker
you must love the men behind him.. one is Nolan and the Zimmer must be other without a doubt!
 
"The great thing about working with Chris Nolan is, when I go, 'maybe I'm going a little too far off the deep end,' he'll push me a little further." 
genius +genius =perfection!
 

Who don't love this ? :))
and this


Finally this :)


It really touches even if you don't have a heart  :) 
Many Happy Returns of the day to the God of Epicness !!
