Random Thoughts

Damn Social networking sites,from long time i was thinking to write something but earning bread and butter takes a toll and after that FB and TWITTER.I thought why not to post about my updates on social networking.Readers please bear with me . Compilation of my FB/Twitter updates and Movie reviews(short reviews) which i had updated on my Facebook Wall:- SKYFALL Watched Skyfall 007,Fantastic movie.I never liked Daniel Craig as a James bond,reason being as i always remembered suave & stylish Pierce Brosnan who depicted 007 role earlier as real charmer,womanizer and enigmatic secret agent for British secret service -MI6.I never found Daniel craig as a right role for bond but this movie changed my notion,its 3rd film starring craig as bond. Reasons film is good- Movie gives a practical touch and showed bond at last as vulnerable human being,who could miss his targets and makes mistakes.No hi-tech gadgets as exploding pens,lazer watches,exploding chewinggums etc.Song

Mythology: compelling tales filled with Facts & Fictions(Part 1-Introduction)

What this world would be,if there are no stories,tales and fables? I am sure answer is --it will be mundane.There would be no movies or literature in that case,sounds terrible.Mythology gives us insight about past civilizations,people and more importantly an idea which forms the pillar of  consecutive culture which follows it.Every nation is extension of an idea which forms the perspective of any nation.  I abhor calling it mythology because this word itself expresses myth,in Hindi(dewanagri lipi) its called pauranik which comes from ancient literature(purans).Ancient stories from greek gods to pharaohs ;let us know about the way people lived their lives,the magnum opus of  earlier civilization from vikings to pirates and most importantly;let us make assumptions,improving our imagination.Letting us flow into the rich tales from Ramayana,Mahabharata,Ulysses to dead sea scrolls and many other literature from past. Stories which helps us from material to spiritual senses.Invoke in us

Movie Review: Batman- Dark Knight rises

 "Batman:Dark Knight Rises" An epic conclusion to fantastic trilogy.Movies needs HERO to make them work in case of this film more than actor "Christian bale" its director "Christopher Nolan" who made the flicks(trilogy) work. Rarely it happens in world of cinema that director plays much more vital role as compared to actors and Nolan is one among those few wonderful directors.Neither do i want to talk about the great actors(except Joker-Heath ledger and bale) in trilogy as- Gary oldman,Morgan freeman,katie holmes,Michael caine,Anne hathway,Mariot,Joseph,eckheart,Tom hardy etc. as they were the perfect starcast.Its more about series as whole. Well, my post is not spoiler and more than review its about the BATVERSE experience(created by Noaln's films).I am not going to mention ratings,plot or analysis. In nutshell as per me it is between fantastic & super-fantastic,bit short of  expectant spectacle. NOLAN'S BATMAN- Among so many DC-Comics

Mughal Emperor Akbar

Mughal Empire ruled the subcontinent from 1526 to the beginning of the British Raj in 1858.Babur's (1st mughal emperor in India) victory  at panipat in the year 1526 initiated Mughal raj in India.Well this post is not about Mughal history.This post is about Akbar-most sophisticated and successful Mughal Emperor.There are many firsts under his rule; equal respect to different religions, against casteism and most importantly- Akbar not only tolerated religions other than Islam, he encouraged interfaith discussion and debate. After listening to many religious scholars from the prominent religions of his empire (i.e., Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and, to a lesser extent Jainism, Christianity and Judaism) he decided that no one faith was entirely and exclusively true; he developed a syncretic religion which he called Din-i Ilahi, "the Divine Faith" and encouraged his subjects to follow it. It combined elements primarily from Islam and Hinduism, but also from Zor

THE LAST BULLET

Target photo -     Assassin’s phone flashed the message and picture, Prepared to hunt the victim; he readied himself, Carried the gun to shoot and machete to cut the prey, On mission to earn livelihood, Best killer; as he was known among his benefactors, Always elusive and anonymous to his hirers, Makes a deal and always asks motive to kill, Killing was his game to fame, Stalked the gullible to fetch right time to shoot, Got the chance at deserted street to take down the prey, Fired the gun and bullets pierced the ill-fated man’s body, Blood spilling from head to toe, Last bullet still in gun’s barrel, Murderous hand holding the gun, Paced near the body; knelt before the body and wept, Gun pointed by him on his forehead and last bullet smashed his brain, Assassin just killed his brother and followed the path of self-annihilation, Murderer's brother conspired to kill him, As killer's phone  dropped near his idle bloody body , Target Phot

SPEEDING CAR

Adrenaline rushing feeling surfaced upon his whole shacking body, As the engine of his car roared louder than lion, Excitement revved from car to his soul, It seemed to him that he is on journey of awakening, Driver's Will power escalated more than the durability of car's alloy wheel, 5000 cc displacement  coupled with 16 cylinder engine boosted car's speed and his spirit, Speeding car more than 250k/h and drifting perfectly by skilled hands on deadly way, At last science of extra momentum surpassed his proficient driving, Car smashed into peaceful lake and glided on water for few seconds due to pace, Drowned in water that fabulous piece of metal with human body, At last driver is feeling soothing as his morale was peaked, Water in his nostrils didn't made him frightened, Ecstatic to perish along with his red metallic car, Poked by his friend which made him woke, Who was sitting next to him driving a car he was dreaming of.

Journey of a timid

Forbidden graveyard filled with gory obelisks, Walked the fainthearted with just silvery half moon as a guide, Each step towards destination made him shiver, His promise made him tread as vigilante, On land where dead's are buried, Trying to keep foot on track, Closed his eyes and walked in utter darkness, Air was thick and cold was increasing, Inhaling oxygen taking all the might, At last he succeeded and kept his foreboding, Respectfully kept the snook's  ball on grave, Wept for his dog and came back.
