Blog!!!

Long before I was tagged by rakesh. I am not sure whether I have the answers for the following, but still will give a try..
What according to you, is a blog?

A blog is an online journal which represents the thoughts and views of an individual. People can blog about their opinions, movie reviews, their frustrations, imaginations, dreams, fears and wishlists and many more…

How did you come to know abt blogging?

Initially when I was a forum member, lots of other members had their own web pages and their own weblogs(blog). I too was interested in creating a web page of my own using yahoo geocities, then a personal site using the same and then the blog using blogspot. I too had become a member of blogger.com. Also I tried to install forums based on phpbb or invision free. Then while searching for similar softwares, found many wordpress blogs. Then with the help of Sreejith who allowed me to share his server space for my blog, I setup this blog. I never planned or dreamt that I would be writing so many posts. But then I think blogging is very addictive like orkutting!

How far has it changed your perception?

It has given me much confidence to interpret and open up my mind. Also I have understood that many people like me have many views and thoughts and opinions which they write down as blog, which they dont express in person.

Are you true to yourself while blogging?

Of course yes.. I don’t know what do you mean by lying… 😛

Any blog you wish to be the author of and why?

As of now I dont have any. I just wish I have more free time for posting more on my blog.

What it has preached you?

Hmm.. Did not get the real meaning… If you mean what have you learnt by blogging, I would say, many people read your blog, say your friends and anonymous and through blogging many people are knowing you without you knowin about them.

Two of your fav. Blogs? And why?

I dont have much favourites….But I have liked Chandni’s blog and the topics..

One of your fav. Post by a fellow blogger?

I have always wanted to do a self-interview type post in blogs…

Any Blog friends! Who are they and why?

Lots!!! Lot of the forum members and online friends from whom I have been inspired to write this blog..

If provided opportunity would you like to meet a fellow blogger? Who? and why?

Hmm… none…. If you meet these pen pals, I am afraid I wont be able to write anymore bcos of the fear that they know me personally by now.. 🙁

Name a blogger, who comments regularly in each post of yours?

I dont think anyone posts that much regularly….

A blog, where you comment regularly?

I dont comment on anyone or anything 😛

How does it feel to be called as a blogger?

Nothing special about it!

🙂

Phew…. Now I’d like to tag Chandni, Sreejith, Deep and Andy…

Bye.. Have a nice time!!! 🙂

Film Review – Black – B, L, A, C, K

Yesterday, I saw the film ‘Black’. I have always been a fan of Sanjay Leela Bansali from ‘Hum Dile De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Devdas’. His direction, the way of portraying the characters, the presentation, the music, the colours…
The three strong characters, Michelle as a girl and as a woman and the teacher portrayed in the shades of black. The frustration of the young girl whose life is always full of darkness…She is blind, deaf and dumb… (Helen Keller??? Ahem.. I dono…) She founds herself a path through that blackness… And with the help of the teacher, she finally becomes a graduate! The man God she finds in that teacher, who maker her feel the meaning of words and reactions, meaning of mother, father, and finally a woman herself…She smells the beauty of life, the success of failure, determination, will power, emotions of love and trust, and the pain of darkness…Also portrayed is the Alzheimer’s disease of the teacher as the film moves towards the climax, where he fails to memorize all the small things. It’s the same state as the small girl, but the only difference is, even in the light, we find ourselves in dark… Man is really nothing without memories though he has all the senses…
The script seems fast in the beginning when we fail to understand how the teacher gets through the small child’s heart. There are no songs in the film and the background music is superb. Overall it is a worth-watch film.
