Documentary: Eat your Enemy

Today, I watched a phenomenal documentary called Eat your Enemy.

I strongly recommend you to watch this, to touch your aggressive, violence and spiritual side.

Ok! Let us put in other way… if you have some interest in calligraphy & Japanese martial arts.

Favorite Dialogue from “Last Tango in Paris”

On 31st of December, I watched this super flick.

And there is a dialogue which Marlon Brando had spoken.. which goes as below

“Holy family.

Church of good citizens.

Say it!

The children are tortured

until they tell their first lie.

The children…

are tortured…

Where the will is broken

by repression.

Where freedom…

..is assassinated.

Freedom is assassinated by egotism.”

Family…

You…
fucking…
family.

Oh, God… Jesus. “

THE KILLING FIELDS (1984) movie’s fast review

The year is 1979, Cambodia’s civil war. The Killing fields.
I found it the most phenomenal & depressing movie
i have ever watched, there is so much..
killing, human emotions, skeletons & bones.
and Awestruck! to see that’s based on real story of news reporter of New York times and his Cambodians guide.
The imagine song at the Climax by John Lennon is the only song that can only bring the real justice for the peace & brotherhood
on the one & only blue planet called earth.

Watching so many movies based on war, there is a point that.. do we human beings love peace. Or we do we become dead tired, after fighting so much…
If that is why… India is known as the peaceful country???

It has seen Asoka, Mahabharata and all…
Anyways, there is one point.. if you dig more.. you will find other civilization resting (human skeleton farms) and
one the top of them the current civilization again fighting for survival & the PEACE.
And some resting in peace :- )

HagaKure – The Book of the Samurai

Hello Everyone,

I been currently reading Hagakure, which I got to first known from
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/09/06/how-to-be-a-samurai-designer/

Smitten by the post, I checked out Ghost Dog. And with the Ghost Dog, I need to have this book also.

So, i would like to share the selected notes from this Special Book!

in the form of captured pics.

Hagakure: The Book Of The Samurai

Here is the Link to the all the caputred pics in set: HagaKure

The Book has been read to 50%, so in the next post.. most probably will be posting rest of the selected photos.

Plus, This is the book i have purchased from flipkart.com

So would like to throw some light on it..

I purchased the book for 375 (INR)

And here is the url

As soon i ordered the book, i got the confirmation call of order.

Just after 10-15 minutes of placing the order online (Dec 6).

And the email having order details info.

Expected time of delivery was 8 business days. But in the actual scenario, they needed additional 2-3 days. Which flipkart has explicitly declared already by the notification (separate email).

Anyways, so far so good.. I got my consignment on Dec 19.

I am happy with there service. And The packaging of the book also.

Good going!

Slide & Audio from my presentation at OSIDays 11

(Posting the immediate feedback)

After the presentation OSI Days 2011:: Catch the 1% in iterative design.

Nobody asked a single question! Audience was silent. As audience had more developers, project managers & only 2-3 designers.

The after effect of this presentation was more of…as asking developers to design. but if they can grab it. They can try that too & Do! It is not about html/css/random language.

It is about The Path. And walking on it. But the path has to be traced.

So, would like to say ‘Welcome to path tracing’.

But for the designers, they can be more KICK Ass & more detail oriented with the theming.

Though one developer(girl) said, “One thing i sure, You are really good at theming. And you can show some more live example..with the code.”

But! aaah! I have to wrap that in 30mins. As per the presentation, was surprised that i wrapped that in 0:28:08

I have also recorded the audio during the presentation. You may check the slide & audio.

I feel that I should present that in more top notch design conferences. As it help you to be more top notch with your front end & theming skills & Talent. Performing beyond the client expectations.

Yeah! thing may suck at some time. I just want to help you, to stay comfortably, not just on your toes. But in relaxed manner.

And over the period of time, will be looking more into path tracing & doing some or little contribution.
