Amazing movies...

This weekend has been much better than expected..
Got an opportunity to watch some great films-

Madagascar
Aparichitudu
Roja
Bombay
Titanic[though not continuously]

Bombay I think is the best Indian film to be made and there is nothing that comes close to it in terms of sensitivity and the beautiful depiction of human nature, the harsh realities of communalism, politics, etc..Kudos to Mani Ratnam for bringing the movie forward despite opposition from some quarters of society[you all know who]
Kudos also to A.R.Rahman for soul touching music that never leaves you untouched.
Lots of scenes to describe the speciality of this movie. I can keep writing a big book on this movie to describe what is so special about it!!

Roja is a movie of brave women of India, and actually be compared to the story of Saavitri, who brought back her husband's life from the God of death- Yamadharmaraja.
Mani Ratnam excelled in creating the mood of terror, as also the first big break for A.R.Rahman that catapulted him to the league of top composers.

Titanic, as everyone knows is the best movie of all times. This is the first time that Hollywood has dealt with human emotions so deeply and gave it a deft touch. It still amazes me after more than 10 years, like a masterpiece on a canvas. The images linger on for a long time and maybe forever!!

Madagascar is one such movie which may not figure in most of our favourite list, but its a near perfect depiction of friendship, the circumstances that change everyone, all in a laugh riot..

Aparichitudu keeps you engrossed all the time with its strong storyline and excellent fights. A very important message to all the citizens is very well told and executed..Music not much to write about, but the movie is enjoyable nevertheless..

New avenues waiting to be explored!!

New avenues waiting to be explored!!
There is something new to be known daily and achieve success in it..neednt master it, but experience it nevertheless..
So apart from the usual preparation for various certifications, there seems to be something new waiting to happen and learning the same..
Learning about Google Desktop Gadgets and how they work..Someday I can create an application that everyone can say "WOW!!"
No concrete plans for the extended weekend though..just cool off in the room, watching TV :)

Another hurdle crossed!! A perfect icing on the cake for this year..

Yes!!..Ever since I heard the term "ITIL", I wondered what it is about like anyone who doesnt know what it is all about..

And here I am with a successfull certification in ITIL, which basically deals with standards in the IT field[it can be applied to any organisation though]...
Once we understand the concept, it should be possible to clear it for anyone.
This is a perfect icing on a cake called 2007 that redefined my life's goals and already lay the road ahead for 2008...
2008 has a bigger challenge-IBM Tivoli Netcool certification, which is the ultimate dream of any network management professional...
Already feeling the heat of it and started a roadmap for preparation..

For now though, its time for celebration of the impeding new year, thanking everyone who has been behind me in all tough moments throughout this year, and setting new goals....
Bye and good night..need to have a good sleep!!

WOW!! THATS HOW THIS YEAR HAS BEEN...

Got to post after a long time...
Sometimes life brings a moment that we all cherish for a life time..
But this whole year has been a collection of those special moments for me.
Winning awards that I didnt expect,
discovering new friends,
exploring the world around me,
rising like a phoenix from the ashes[missing a chance in Fidelity],
coming out winner[getting into Capgemini, Mumbai],
putting my potential to use[our first project on Google maps],
and yes..celebrating the success TOGETHER at the fag end of this year[capgemini's annual day--Jashn 2007]
This has certainly been an year that has changed everything.
But in life, some dreams take more than a lifetime to get fulfilled, and this isnt a movie either for the show to go on..It has to stop somewhere.
Looking forward to 2008 to discover new challenges which i can smell already.
Tearful adieu to 2007 with this message to it...
"Dear, I ll miss u!! Hope 2008 can take a leaf out of your book.."

New Year, New Dreamz, New Goals!!!

A Rocking Year Started...

This new year 2007 brought with it a lot of challenges, rewards, expectations, and also many new goals to reach..The most interesting part of it is that almost each of it was unexpected..
First is the Web Design 2nd prize at the NIIT Tech Rhapsody fest, which was one of the most happy moments of my life..Itz something special..

Then there was this industrial visit to WebMethods[located in Bangalore], which was exciting and oppurtunity came out of the blue..

Next is completion of my course and leaving NIIT which wasnt so easy to cope with due to many reasons..many emotions are linked to it.

Latest is the offer from CapGemini Mumbai and the subsequent working environment there, which is fantastic.Here the work environment inspires you to work better with flexibility to develop your career all the time..
So looking forward to the future...
