A phenomenon happening on twitter!!
Yesterday evening, got to know that someone is creating ripples in the twitter! He has got thousands of followers within the first couple of hours of joining it!
And it is the "Emperor of Cricket" and the ideal ambassador for cricket, and goes by the name- Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar!
Well, it would be like praising the greatness of sun's brightness, but let me tell you that he is the perfect example for not only aspiring cricketers but anyone who wants to achieve something in life!
Its amazing to see how a simple middle class citizen kept chasing his dreams and showing the world what could one achieve with perseverence and passion. And all that without much gimmicky and a cool manner!
Personally I feel he will have the most followers for any Indian, and up there with the most famous celebrities of the world!
Keep going Sachin!
With love.. Anil

"Animators need to act!!"
Coming back to the acting session, the dialogue "Find my angel of demon and kill him!" turned out to be funny..Funny, because it had a completely different kind of reaction from colleagues/friends who were present there!
It was meant to be a serious dialogue where a king dreamt of an angel which is going to kill him and therefore he orders all his ministers to find that angel of death and kill him.
[Similar to King Kansa who killed the elder siblings of Lord Krishna because he was told by a Goddess that he would die in the hands of his own nephew]
Later on, felt that it would have been more funny if the word "laka laka laka laka" from the popular 2007 film Chandramukhi [remake of a malayalam film] had been added to it!, which goes well with the king's order to kill someone who could end his life! "Find my angel of demon and kill him! Laka laka laka laka!"

The Scroll of fun
Recently TRS celebrated its anniversary. what will be the main event in all their celebrations? Singing..Because they are Telan"gaana" Raastra samithi!..So now we also need to bear with KCR n co. as if Himesh Reshammiya isnt enough to break our heads and make all ppl mad!..uhhh..brace yourself for the torture!
Guess what Saakshi channel people will sing to compete with Himesh if he gives a live concert in Cuddapah [pronounced Kadapa]?..."Jagan ka surooooooooor!!" repeated a 1000 times, since they hardly know anything else to sing better! And by the time both their concerts end, they will be very popular among doctors. Why? because people forget everything due to severe brain damage and get admitted to the hospitals ;)
Our scroll sympathizes with all those who would have suffered!!

Raavan music--An interesting and eclectic mix of energy!
The music has an exotic feel to it with A R Rahman's stamp all over, matching with the amazing visuals that we have already seen in it's latest trailers.
Music usually gives us a preview of what to expect in a movie[the general look and feel of the movie rather than the story!] so we can hardly wait for the movie releasing on June 18th!
The first track "Beera" and "Behene De" have that fresh feel to them which keep getting better with every listening!
For now, the music gives us a lot of imagination to guess whats in store from a maestro like Mani Ratnam! His "Bombay" was an amazing take on love and how it wins over everything else in the end. The best movie ever on religious unity of India. Sad that some narrow minded people made an issue out of it.
Raavan though is said to be an inspiration from Ramayan with a twist in the tale!
Just got some of the lyrics[for the favorite songs "beera" and "behene de"] from the net!: Enjoy!

Song : Behene De
Music : A R Rahman
Lyrics : Gulzar
Singers : Karthik & Mohamed Irfan
Are aankh se boond gira koi
Chingari ka tukda jala koi
Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara
Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara
Ghan itna baras ke galne lagoon
Mein paani ke upar tarne lagoon
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Ohhh
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata
Behene de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai
Behene de nadiyaan ki tarah
Shart lagi hai mar jaane ki
Jeena hai toh pyaar mein
Dil kahin bhi ho mera
Jaan rakhi hai yaar mein
Behja behja hai saagar ka kehna
Behja behja hai nadiyaan ko behna
Patte se tapakti boond ki awaaz sunai di thi
Nadiyaan mein tapak aur gum ho ja
Beh gaya beh gaya jo reh gaya reh gaya
Beh gaya beh gaya jo reh gaya reh gaya
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Ohhh
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata
Behene de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai
Behene de nadiyaan ki tarah
Mera pal pal ang ang bhar diya
Tune jaan pe junoon saa kar diya
Mera hai kya jo mein haar du
Jaan teri hai tujh pe vaar du
Doob gaye jo suna hai saare
Tere dere aatey hai
Dil ko chulu mein bechare
Doobkiyan ghante khaate hain
Beh ja behja chal todh kinaare ko
Behja behja dhar le majhdhaare ko
Chingari udha ke raakh se
Ek boond gira ke aankh se
Chalne ka ishaara kar gaya
Kar gaya kar gaya sab bhar gaya bhar gaya
Kar gaya kar gaya sab bhar gaya bhar gaya
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Ohhh
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata
Behene de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai
Behene de nadiyaan ki tarah
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Ohhh
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe
Behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata
Behene de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai
Behene de nadiyaan ki tarah

The Scroll!!--of fun
The other day, KCR called CPM "Communist Party of Muurkhulu!" Probably he didnt realise that people call TRS "Telangana Raastra Somaripothula" Party!!

Disappointed..Not even one of my favorite 3 teams won!
Actually things got reverse!.. Wanted the following standing:
1. DC
2. RCB
3. MI
4. CSK
But it turned the other way round ;)..
Any way, a kind of emptiness is created in the entertainment world after 6 weeks of non stop bombardment with all the glitz, cricket and hype.. The controversy of IPL continues though!
And all the best for all teams for the next edition..

2 new Telugu channels on Sun Direct! Finally got rid of an irritant "Sakshi"
It was a surprise on tuesday, the 20th of April 2010 as TV 5 news and ABN Andhra Jyothi[via DD Direct feed] came on board Sun Direct much earlier than expected.
Also to be noted is the fact that it brings to end the terrible waste called Sakshi tv, which is more of YSJ's "personal secretary" than any meaningfull news channel as it calls itself[and thus cheating people].
News channels need to realize that just calling themselves "HD Ready channel" doesnt give them the respect from the public.
Its like creating an irritating music with empty bottles instead of bringing out the truth with journalism.
Ever since it was launched an year back, it has earned lots of rotten tomatoes from the public and has always been a more of a HD-ready channel hyper-obsessed with following YSR and YSJ now[like "we follow you where ever you go!"]
Take the following instance during a live coverage of YSJ's so called "consoling trip" across AP:
"BREAKING NEWS: YSJ consoling a woman at consoling trip in..."
They have nothing to show than accusing their rivals[especially Ramoji Rao and co.] and glorifying YSJ as the demi-god and born-again-YSR. The above example is just one of the many other instances of its mis-use of power of media.
Even the shameless attack on Reliance by YSJ's supporters in AP has been heavily inspired and aided by its non-stop coverage by creating stories about YSR's death [of course other congress supporting channels also had a small hand in it].
Just by having a mic, a satellite link, a god-father to get unlimited funding, graphic technology imported from abroad and some sympathisers doesnt make a good channel.
Especially in today's world, we have hundreds of channels groping for a space in the TRPs and you need to make an identity for yourself [even if the TRPs may not be impressive] rather than become a laughing stock of many. Getting the trust of the public with impartial, honest coverage of news is the key here, in which Sakshi seems to have failed big time.
Now that this channel is taken off, its good riddance.

ఏం "Maya" చేసావె!!
And yesterday night, looking at the stars above on the terrace of our home, they looked more like the vertices of an polygon object in Maya!
It becomes so easy to imagine everything in 3D, once you understand the basics, the logic and how Maya works.
And when the constellations kept shining in the pitch dark sky above, it seemed like they can be made into 3D objects and animated as well! Like:
The orion constellation, also called Mriga (The Deer)in India, can be made to rotate to create an illusion of a circular camera shot of the hunter!

"Pink Panther-2!"--The mega comedy!!
Steve Martin has that infectious comic appeal that you hardly take focus off his performance every minute of the movie.
He is the soul of the film and Aishwarya doesnt have much to do than go around in her western dress and tell some boring dialogues. Dont know why the media hypes something as trivial as this unattractive role in a hollywood movie.
Talking about Steve Martin's role, he seems to be born for this role! I dont think anyone else has that kind of comic presence or the grace that he brings to the role of a detective.
The first Pink Panther was probably better than this one, but the comedy is superb nonetheless- the story and the plot is slightly inferior to that.
Comercially it may not have been so successfull, but it was enjoyable nevertheless.

The sweet tale of "Wall-E" and "EVE-ah"!
The other day, "WALL-E" premiered on Star Movies.. An amazing piece of animated cinema! Its one of the best animated movies with an engaging storyline and a simple moral embedded in it.
The climax was truly amazing and the whole movie keeps you glued to your seats every minute of the movie. For movies with very few human/animal dialogues like this, it is a challenge to make the body language of the characters perfect! And the hard work of the animators shows in the way WALL-E looks in every scene, and the lovely EVA!
Applauds to them for bringing out the love between two robots in a touching way! Without comparing anyone, Indian films fail to bring out a great narrative with more innovation in the storyline. Exceptions to this are movies like Lagaan, Black, Taare Zameen Par, etc, but we certainly need more of these [and we do have the ability and millions of audiences to appreciate them].
Despite being home to some of the most breath taking locales in the world, the film makers failed to capture India in its whole glory.
In hollywood, every year, we have movies in a wide variety genres like comedy, romance, thriller, sci-fi, action and animation.
If we can watch in awe the beauty of the imaginary pandoras in Avatar, I believe our film makers have the ability to blow us away with the real natural and cultural treasure that we have in India!

Story of a Tea Cup
"There was a time when I was just a dumb lump of red clay. Then one day my master came. He took me, brought me home, rolled and pounded me on a wooden table. Again and again, he poked his fingers into me until finally I yelled out: 'Don't do that! Leave me alone!' But he only smiled and gently said: "Not yet!"
Then, whoommmm! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly spun around and around and around until I lost all my sense of direction: 'Stop it; don't you see that I'm getting sick? Quickly, take me from the spinning wheel!' But the master only nodded in understanding and quietly said: "Not yet!"
Then he placed me carefully into an oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door: 'It is hotter than hell - I'm burning to ashes. Please get me out of here before it is too late.' I could only read his lips as he shook his head from side to side and silently pronounced, "Not yet!"
After I had cooled down he carefully picked me up, looked at me and brushed some dust away. Then he brought the colors! The fumes were horrible! 'Please... you have no mercy! Please, Stop it!' But he only shook his head and said: "Not yet!"
An hour or later he came back and placed a mirror before me and said: "Look at yourself!" And I did.What I saw amazed me. 'That's not me!' I said. 'It is too beautiful...' With a very compassionate voice he spoke: "This is what you are meant to be," and then he explained: "I know it hurt you when I rolled and kneaded you on the table. But if I had not gotten the air out of you, you would have broken. I knew you must have lost all your sense of orientation when I was spinning you. But without this you would never have come into this form. I know the fumes of the colors were intolerable when I painted you all over. But if I had not done that, you would not have had any color in your life."
God is the potter and we are the clay. He will mold us and will expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we will become a perfect piece of His liking.

Don't Interrupt Others or Finish Their Sentences
Don't Interrupt Others or Finish Their Sentences
When you interrupt someone, or finish his or her sentence, you have to keep
track not only of your own thoughts but of those of the person you are
interrupting as well.
This tendency (which, by the way, is extremely common in busy people),
encourages both parties to speed up their speech and their thinking. This,
in turn, makes both people nervous, irritable, and annoyed. It is also the
cause of many arguments, because if there's one thing almost everyone
resents, it's someone who doesn't listen to what they are saying.
Once you begin noticing yourself interrupting other, you'll see that this
tendency is nothing more than an innocent habit that has become invisible to
you. This is good news because it means that all you really have to do is to
begin catching yourself when you forget. Remind yourself (before a
conversation begins, if possible) to be patient and wait. Tell yourself to
allow the other person to finish speaking before you take your turn.
You'll notice, right away, how much the interactions with the people in your
life will improve as a direct result of this simple act. The people you
communicate with will feel much more relaxed around you when they feel heard
and listened to. You'll also notice how much more relaxed you'll feel when
you stop interrupting others. Your heart and pulse rates will slow down, and
you'll begin to enjoy your conversations rather than rush through them.
This is an easy way to become a more relaxed and loving person.
