an instrument of change

hello on 18th Dec, 2012! i hope u r happy :)

somewhere was an old draft lying in my posts... i'm used to being attached with old things, and just wanted to post this really old one

loads of things done in 2009 end... including last NASA. been gr8 to escape from the freezing cold here. .... and most everywhere els// whats best about new year is that i'm a lil happy. fine, scored only 2nd highest this time and health has been poor [partly due to that extra wisdom tooth growing]. was gr8 to spend time wid family.

coming to movies... they hav served us well, some of them... like 3 idiots... borrowed concept, but the leh scientist idea was cool! its overwhelming how they project youth as happy go lucky, yet headstrong for the right things... has been modified well for the audience, giving it a filmy touch wid oft-repeated dialogues of 'filminess' in the movie itself! at the same time, its good to see the casual students taking friendship seriously and how they help each other in critical times. and i must remark here, aamir khan has really come of age now, as a quality movie maker, acting as an instrument of change. be it lagaan, TZP or 3idiots... he has really proved his mettle... its rightly said that good art (social art like movies) can channeliz the crowd mentality to newer ideas... give us reasons to laugh at and causes to cry for... or die for! witty inputs and pithy remarks woven well into the fabric of serious

importance of sports?

"As a student, I liked to play soccer and basketball, and I also enjoyed trying out the various disciplines within track and field. My focus became long distance running, but I competed occasionally in pole-vaulting. There was a year when I ran five times a week, but my talent was limited; I was occasionally well placed at town-wide events, but never in regional competitions. Still, I have maintained a passion for endurance sports until the present day. When I was around thirty, I met my own personal challenge and finished a few marathons under three hours, and I have completed many long bicycle tours."
We're not talking about Lance Armstrong here... of course, not a pole-vault champion either.
Surprising burst of sports talent from the Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Wolfgang Ketterle, an alumnus of TU-Munich.
i'm totally smitten by the ability of people in Germany to be so gifted in the sciences, yet maintaining passion for living a balanced healthy life through sports and weekend activities!
