The play goes on and the wait continues . . .

Out at 94 :( must have broken billion hearts and made News Channels to do a postmortem of the innings on what exactly went wrong and give 1000 conclusions and predictions on the future and most importantly the 100th ton ! That's how it is and it would be .But the man who has carried a nations hope for the past 20 years would simply go and play  the next game with the same passion and spirit he has done for over 20 years and try to win the game for India.Kudos to the person on handling such pressure.

        Lets not wait for the 100th hundred  .There is a poetry in his stroke play .The  classical cover drives and the straight drives from the master.Experts would say its dangerous to drive on the up.But not for the Master.He does it with ease and grace..It is for the destiny to decide when and  where the destiny's child should get the 100th hundred .Let us  enjoy his stroke play  till then.

                  As the Bombay poet C. P. Surendran wrote: "Batsmen walk out into the middle alone. Not Tendulkar. Every time Tendulkar walks to the crease, a whole nation, tatters and all, marches with him to the battle arena. A pauper people pleading for relief, remission from the lifelong anxiety of being Indian, by joining in spirit their visored saviour."
"
           
This says it all .That defines Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

Lets wait till the moment happens and enjoy and be privileged to watch the legend give joy to his billions of followers.

Change -An insight

I was asked  to write this blog ,since a friend of mine in office wanted me to give my perspective on Change based on  my readings and my thoughts .

One topic where i need to get my well read stuffs from  Manu smiritis ,the philosophy of shankaracharya ,the Geeta and the Bible into action .

" Change is as simple as Complex is ".As someone said Change is so pervasive in our lives that it almost defeats description and analysis.

People change,life changes,but most important thing according to me is not to go behind change but to blend with change,a fact probably well said by Lord Shri Krishna in the Geeta .

Change can be difficult sometimes as goes the line  -It is harder to fight pleasure than to fight emotion.

You lead your life thinking and going for something and life has something else bestowed for you.That's how complex life is and Time can be a game changer.The topic of  "Time" needs a
scientific perspective though ...

Irrespective of change one thing that change cannot impact and it has been proven over centuries is the Value chain and the Principles you have and the Frankness and Truthfulness.Very simple words,needs to be followed to endure the impact of change in one life.

Being adamant,not flexible and having double standards will definitely impact the way "Change" can impact.

Denying Change:

I love this extract from "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy" :

 Whatever one speaks about or thinks about must in some sense exist; if it did not exist then it is nothing, so one would be speaking or thinking about nothing, which would be empty. From this thesis, it is deduced that the existing thing cannot have come into existence, because to say that it could would be to speak of a time when it did not exist.By similar reasoning, existing things are eternal because they cannot go out of existence. It is now a small step to conclude that change is an illusion, on the grounds that a change in a thing implies that there was a time when the thing-as-changed did not exist.However, this argument is not persuasive: the premiss that the non-existent cannot be thought or spoken about is dubious.

So its difficult to Deny Change

To end with  my favorite lines for Life :

We live based on hope and hope that things changes .Every person living does have hope and

"
Hope is Eternal
Change is Inevitable
"
Life As it is continues ...

Always yours ,

Life through Bosch Day -To My Friends through Expressions !


This is to my friends through some famous lines  in the films .Don't know how bad this idea is  ! A try nevertheless.

Been quite a while since i blogged due to Bosch Day preparations .Made good friends and came to know better about friends whom i already knew  in the process.What better way than a blog to express the same without unravelling somethings which ought to remain untold and finally needs to fade away in time.

" THAT DAY MAY NEVER COME " and "They can't handle the truth " .I dont need the Pity here ...  :P

Remember this famous line modified  "We live in a cynical world ,and we work in a business of tough competitors .I love u all ... U guys complete me ".

Some people get angry,some get irritated,some uncomfortable all because they fail to understand ,yes a natural phenomenon,but still remain friends.Probably "THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME " to understand ...

I made friends who "DON'T TAKE SIDES" they just remain friends .And "I am going to make them an offer ,they cant refuse" and remain Friends forever .

"Don't ever let somebody tell you ,You can't do something for them " just do it.I think this applies else where too.Let me not get philosophical here.

and Finally before i run out of ideas ending with

"With Friendship comes Greater Responsibilities"-Need a great deal of straightforwardness and honesty here,these are high valued  words . "Follow it if you Can "


Always yours,
Pavan

Love and Impressions -Jobs Way of Life -Being Human

Talking about Steve Jobs is incomplete without tellling about some incidents that personally impressed me.

Here i  go  with 3 dots  again
...

Steve Jobs quote
"
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life"

A hair stye change ,An accident on friday and a blog on saturday .Its been a mixed week with some mixed responses too.One thing has not changed though "Being Who I Am." .Love what ever you do whether it gives success or failure is immeterial .A path  that Jobs has showed us.

An extract on Jobs from an article in IB times:
By Larry Brilliant, the former director of Google's philanthropic arm:

"defining character of Steve Jobs  isn't his genius, it isn't his talent, it isn't his success. It's his love. That's why crowds came to see him. You could feel that. It sounds ridiculous to talk about love when you are making a gadget..He communicated that love  through bits of steel and plastic"

Amazing what you can do if you have the love and passion .

Talking about impression ,this is what " Being Human " Is all about.

I am speechless here .

This is what  Robert Scoble posted on Facaebook.
"
How this week ends...my two-year-old son, Ryan, brings me an iPad. Wants help getting a video running. He calls it a "byepad." I just hold him, with a tear running down my cheek. He has no idea why
"
This says it all .

A man who made world take notice .

Even Gods wanted Steve Jobs To bring Innovation to Heaven.One Can Never Forget his way of life -ISAD today

            Looks like even Gods up there wanted Steve Jobs to bring innovation in heaven.Feel Like Gods Must be Crazy Today.He taught us  "To live the day as if there is no tomorrow ".

RIP Steve ...  Remember the connecting of 3 dots story .

"A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them"  -This defines Steve Jobs for
me ,a person whom many  will never forget .
                  
 When the whole world from the US President to the common man across the globe is remembering Steve Jobs,we forget that Steve Jobs is way beyond Apple IPADS and I PHONES.He was a revolutionary of our times who gave youngsters like me and millions to live the day as if there is no tomorrow and by the heart .

                         Great people always leave a mark and so did this person.I am ISad today.

 Gone are the days where we dare to think beyond our imagination,and are afraid of failures.Thanks to this man.Who on earth could ever image a founder asked to leave from his own company and still good enough to come back to tell the world who is the BIG Boss.Steve Jobs taught us not to give up in life.

Today I feel like i want to be the IGOD so that i can bring the Jobs back who showed us a way to make people know what they want.

 As a mark of respect  lets never forget this person ,his life ,his contribution and more importantly "To live the day as if there is no tomorrow "and Dare to think beyond our imaginations.

Life without Jobs will never be same again.Miss him for his inspirational stuff.I Mourn

Force-Awsomeness Redefined-Differentiating MEN from the Boys-A movie Review

Climax scene ,2 starts with 8 packs body in an raw intense action scene after John looses his loved
one  .In Back row of PVR cinemas ,guys stand up and clap and i think that says it all.Have seen girls making comments like "what a body he has" when a Hero enters or takes off his shirt ,but this movie is beyond all this .Never seen such reaction before.Not to forget this movie has good mix romance,action and slight drama  too .Full credit to Nishikant Kamat,for taking action film to a different level .
What we forget though is the depiction of romance in the movie.Again its innocent silence romance .Genelia has done a good job.But who is the star of the movie.
The Villain,yes he gives tough competition to John and has done an excellent job .
His attitude is great in the movie.John as usual has done a fairly good job .
Locations chosen and cinematography is breathtaking.

Watch it guys for 3 things-Unadulterated romantic love depiction ,Emotions depicted in a nice manner,and 2 guys involved in a great battle of trying to prove a point over the other.
 Worth watching again .
After getting a new hair style today ,i am getting motivated to hit the gym now :)

Silence Personified-A journey into Era of Romantic Movies -FlashBack

            As the era of Angry young man was coming  to an end came Tezaab and with it 2 stars .Can some one forget the melodious "Keh Do Ke Tum" from the movie Tezaab  though "Ek DO Teen " is more famous.This was a more action oriented romantic film with lot of emotional touch .Here came the era of love stories with sacrifice and the use of silence to convey things beautifully.Lets have a look at this era.The emergence of 3 Khans who still continue to rule the Hindi Film Industry.

           Maine Pyaar Kiya is one such movie .This movie has great  romantic one-liner and it is good to see the sacrifice for love  and the pains and finally the success.These ideas are put in a beautiful way.A film which made Salman Khan the star.It had some great songs.If you compare ,Films have changed and so have the people .This is a fast paced world now.Only few remain the same.

           Coming back to the era then came Mansoor Khan's " Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak "and what it gave us.It gave Indian Industry Aamir Khan .Again in this era the basic theme of the films used to revolve around the concept of love,sacrifice and family drama and some great songs.
           
        All of a sudden came a drastic change.An aggressive,assertive and a touch of negative shade in the  romantic story telling and here came SRK with Baazigar.3 films ,3 Stars .3 people who went on work of different genere of memorable films over the years.

       Somehow the songs of these films still keep humming in our ears.An era of soulful songs continued with films like Saajan  and huge hits like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun ,DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

     These are the films which we have grown up seeing and thanks to all those who made these films in a age we we able to see.
      An era to remember,an era of depicting true  silent romance on Silver Screen  .Yes there were many more huge hits,but these were some movies that comes to my mind.
   Thanks for reading .An era of silence personified ,a flashback.
