Mentioned on other blogs

    My blog other than here and my orkut,fb accounts don't find much mention, but it actually was mentioned somewhere else, here is the proof.
       The 3rd one on that list is mine. So what's it?is the question here is the answer,I joined the Atheist blogroll which is like a community for atheists who blog but only one thing that we have do to stay in the community is to write on atheism once in a while, and that is what i like to do. Anyone who writes on atheism can join there, to join click on the atheist blogroll picture on the top right side of my blog and follow the instructions on the page which it leads to.
       And i almost forgot my blog is mentioned on one of my friends blog too, and that is the only place where my blog might ever get mentioned, it's the second one on the list.Bye

Sports movies and criticism on Cricket

     
     Of late i have been watching a few good movies, and Chak De India is one of them,this movie is named as the 12th best sports movie of all time on imdb, and we have 3 of our movies in that list Iqbal and Lagaan are the other 2, while the other two were more art oriented and about cricket,this movie's little less arty and about hockey.This movie is about a coach called Kabir Khan,coach of the women's national hockey team who brings the team from nowhere to victory but his personal hockey carrier was spoiled when he misses to make a penalty goal in a Ind VS Pak match, as soon pak wins, a member of the pak team comes and shakes hand with him in good sportsman spirit but the media takes close-ups of this hand shake and makes it a national issue alleging kabir of match fixing then he leaves his home and disappears for 7 years and then appears on the scene in path breaking style.
     This movie had good music,camera work,acting,story etc.As far as i am concerned i always thought Sharukh was a bad actor and that was because that always he acts in those masala flicks mostly and his KKR team publicity stunts(which actually did negative publicity) and most importantly i have not seen many of his movies earlier and that has changed now but the one thing i don't like about this movie is that there is too much of negativity towards cricket, but lets assess we just won one cricket world cup and in present tense cricket is the only sport here,hockey won most of the golds, in fact india has the highest number of olympic medals in hockey but it still can't find a proper place with peoples interests, why? maybe politics.....It's time people stop blaming cricket and see what's wrong with other sport administrations, cricket did well(the admin's of course) to be decorated in this era but what did other sports do?....
     It's too late for me to rate this movie but i will give a 8.5/10.There are equally good movies Iqbal and Lagaan and as far as i remember india has produced 4 bollywood sports movies and three are in the top 15 ,4th movie is goal(john abraham,bips starrer).One movie called "Sye" it's a masala flick,telegu movie,college oriented and rugby based(would you believe that?) is worth a mention a good movie and "Lee" tamil movie, football based did average it had a bad actor to play the lead that's it as far as i remember ok bye.

A Few Theories


               One theory of atheism says that the cross in christianity is derived from the shape of the stars,so i just observed the night sky on dec 25 and this is how it looked in the east side.

          Ok it may be looking gibberish, let me explain, my artistic skills are not so great so just assume that the black and white background is the night sky and yellow spot's are the important stars. The three small stars in the middle are the "orion belt", which many would be familiar with and the two stars to it's left and right, i am not sure of it's names and the bright star at the bottom is called "sirius". This is the theory, on dec 25 the orion belt will be in straight line with the sirius star and parallel to the other two stars, just joining those stars forms a cross. There is another theory relating this which deals with the birth of christ and the three kings(orion belt) guided by a star(sirius) come to meet the lord who gives them light(it's actually birth of a new year from when the sun starts to rise and days get longer than the nights) and when the phenomenon occurs these stars are in a shape resembling the cross.
         So what i am trying to say is that during the olden days when people wrote about certain special things occurring in nature like these, they wrote it down as stories and as age evolved these stories became myth's and the character's involved became gods.There are many other different theories like this and this one is just a small part of the big delusion. Source for this theory is the zeitgeist documentary.
Of course, this post is written in an atheistic point if view, so any theist(especially christians) may feel offended , so warning don't read if you are a theist and i am not responsible if it hurts your beliefs and feelings.

Few quotes on Sachin



Nice video ,i liked it...

Sachinism



This is very old ad , but i always remember the ecstasy i used to feel whenever i saw it on tv, it was aired during matches and i used to stop whatever i may be doing and run to the tv to watch it, for me this ad is the start of sachinism in me.....like in the ad if sachin bats the world is in an absolute stand still , just as if waiting to be taken to glory and attain salvation by the only Saviour(during those times literally it was only him who played well) and numerous times he made us win games,single handedly.....Proud Sachin fan, my religion sachinism, my god sachin.

Stranger than Fiction

       After we ran amuck out of the theater after watching vettaikaran, we went to the beach station where we found a hotel to eat and slowly our senses came back, then we went to the beach sat there watching the waves and that too in peace, don't know the reason but there were no disturbances like "anne sudal vaangi sapude anne" or "thambi beach ku vande, verkadali vangu pa" no nothing of that sort, all shops were closed and no vendors at all only the normal public,then we went to the citi center and wanted to book tickets for avatar for shows on 29,30 or 31 but booking was open only till 28 and so we asked to come back on friday or so, we returned home from there and it was one and half hour drive by bus.


      After coming home i quickly decided to watch a movie and this was the movie i saw "Stranger than fiction", and a refreshing difference from the movie i saw in the day, the story is of a I.R.S agent by the name of Harold Crick who lives a lone life full of symmetry and calculations upto the point that he even counts the number of brush strokes while brushing and does the same number everyday, suddenly one day he starts hearing a voice in his head that narrates what he does and the that female voice also once states that he has an imminent death awaiting ,he panics and meets a doctor who says that's schizo but he wouldn't listen he meets a literary professor who tries to assess and find what's that voice and in-between harold goes to audit a baker whom he falls in love with and the romance scenes are very well shot where he buys a guitar and sings a song, harold slowly realizes that he is going to die so he just wants to live his life and enjoy it, he want's to buy a guitar and that too which tells about him he finds one not in great shape but a really cool one and karoke's his fav songs and while doing things like that, he finds that a certain women Ms.Eiffel is the voice in his head he finds her phone number and address goes to inform her that she is the voice in his head and asks her how she knows that he was going to die, she says that she's writing a book a tragedy that of the story of the death of a simple person harold, she also finds that as she types the story on her typewriter, the things happen she has already written an abstract of the death but has not typed it yet, harold takes the unprinted book and gives it to the professor who is assessing him, he reads it and tells him that people have to be lucky to get a death of that type,harold very sadly takes the book and reads it fully and gives it back to the author and says he is happy to accept such a death or his life would have no meaning and the story takes a few sudden turns from there that's the story just without the ending i can't write such a beauty i don't deserve writing it nor i can't express such a beautiful ending with my vocabulary and writing skills.
       The imdb link is this, it's rated 7.9 as i write this, but it deserves an clear 8.5 above rating these imdb raters are kind of foolish they don't give movies like this one or "50 first dates", a good rating, overall this one is a must watch, logic once or twice takes a back seat but you would like it anyways just like "The Truman Show" superb movie.I have to mention the graphics used in the movie just excellently done.If i rate it, it's 8.5/10 ,i feel like i am fortunate to watch such movies.Ok bye it's 1:00 already and i need to go to a Christmas party tomo and the 4th odi India vs Sri Lanka match was as good as the movie.
Spoiler Alert: If you have not seen the movie please watch it instead of reading this, i tried my best not to reveal a lot and did a fair job,but don't read it.
