Into the wild of Alaska..

Image
Recently I was in search of some non-fiction books to read. I have never read any book in that genre and something inside me wanted and I was searching for couple of days and finally found the book called "Into the Wild". Also found out that there was a film adoption in the same name and it was confusing to me whether to watch the movie or to read the book. Ultimately I chose to watch the movie and guess what? The movie was haunting me for a while and started listening to the original soundtracks over and over. Let me explicate about the movie. This is the best and most under-appreciated film. I absolutely loved everything about Into the Wild, most especially Emile Hirsch as Christopher McCandless who is amazing in his performance. This is a poignant, compelling narrative about Chris, an intelligent, intense, and idealistic young man, who cut off all his connections to his sister and parents. Through out his journey he meets lot of people and many of them offered their love a...

Hauntingly Beautiful!!!!

Well recently fell in love with Alexi Murdoch songs. Before going to his songs and performance i have to tell about how his music was introduced to me. Recently came to know about the movie "Away we go" through some blog and certainly it did boost my curiosity. So downloaded and watched the movie. I loved the movie and enjoyed all the scenes indeed. The movie is about two characters Burt and Verona and they are looking for something throughout this movie: a sense of belonging and of home. Expectant parents Burt and Verona travel across the US, trying to find a place to raise their family. Their travels bring them face to face with their friends and family, and force them to contemplate their future as parents. It forces them to view life as adults, possibly for the first time. Also the production adhered to energy-saving and environmentally friendly guidelines throughout its production which is promising. The original soundtrack was done by Alexi Murdoch and from then i sta...

The Great Comeback!!

It’s been months since I last touched my blog, more than six months, I missed blogging but hopefully I am pretty much back now. I had a milestone journey with those days, weeks & months and I am excited to share it all with you! I will make it up with my blog, missed it so much as I missed all of my friends and my family. I guess I've been to preoccupied with work and there has been days when I just couldn't be bothered to log in. With emails, face book, msn, flickr, orkut, photobucket, blogs, there are too many to keep remembering and I get so confused! Anyone has this problem? Well, July 3, 2009 marked my sixth month here in Simi Valley which is very near to Los Angeles and I love it. Plus there was a lot of things happened already. Recently i was at Chicago to meet some of my college friends and yes, it was a hell of fun. Also we went to a place called Mears which is in Michigan and enjoyed the off-Road vehicle drive. That was awesome and we had a very good time there. I...

My Salutes to the Brave Heros!!!

India is again under terror attack and this is the worst attack that we ever had. On a normal working day it started by shooting erratically at people, throwing grenades, these were few of the dreadful acts done by the terrorists. The places which are always full of people and bustled with activity were made targets and people were brutally killed. The army had to fight a fierce a battle in three places to rescue lives of people who are stuck in theses places. Mumbai is not the only city which is calling out loud for some help, it is whole India shouting out loud and there is no one to listen and perhaps reach out. What exactly do we all do, sit back and relax by watching the media whatever it shows us. What are we doing? Are we supposed to be the mute spectators of life forever and ever? Is life all about being coward and maintaining a distance from things which haven’t affected us personally? How will our future generations look back and react to such a situation? What I can think of...
