The Jorney with Harry Potter... So far

2009-11-28T12:37:00.001+05:30

As far as I can recall, I never entered the magically magnificent world of HARRY POTTER because of the hype, but it was that I just got a copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets from somehere (without knowing that it was the second part). I saw it like fools, without having read the novel or being the part of craze, all I had heard was “Harry Potter” from TV may be, I just didn’t knew who played what or what the heck was going on, most of it went over my head. Even if I couldn’t understand what I was supposed to, I loved the movie and no HP movie till date has been able to break its spell.
Later on, when I got the first part i.e. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, i could finally fill the gaps that the second movie left for me. Since then I jumped in the worldwide club of Harry Potter fanatics, that goes gaga over Harry Potter every time he makes a new move. I couldn’t catch up with the books, because I never saved the money for them and whenever I asked for them in the library, they were always taken by someone else before me.
The first movie in which I flowed along the hype, browsed the net, raised my expectations was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I caught this one also on a VCD. It turned out to be very different from the previous editions; it was darker, deeper (along with the voice-boxes) and confusing (because of the time travel). Amidst all the confusion, I still loved the movie and it turned better and better with multiple viewings.
Since then, I watched every outing of the Harry Potter saga in the theaters.
Cut to: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, before I watched the movie, I could finally get my hands on the novel from the library which turned out to be the first novel I actually “loved” and wished that the celluloid interpretation could be as effective. But alas, another change of director, another change in age and the Emma Watson erotism spoiled the movie. I never found Emma Watson so beautiful (specifically in the Ball scene) ever before, may be because finally, I was of the same age as that of the character she potrayed. And most importantly what spoiled the movie for me was that I had read the novel and that they had gulped many of the scenes I wanted to see. Heard from many that the novels are better than the movies, this one proved that true for me. Apart from Emma Watson, the three tasks, the mad-eye moody moments, the voldemort-Harry duel, it all began with the 4th movie, great scenes but something missing.
But with the 5th movie i.e. The Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, the ultimate degradation of the most magical movie series I had ever seen took place with David Yates playing the captain of the ship, which would enhance the CGI effects of the movie, but would submerge the overall FEEL of the movie. The 4th movie hinted at it , but the 5th movie degraded Harry Potter like never before, it crushed my expectations just like ‘The Bride’ crushes the eye of Elle in Kill Bill 2, it was the first movie in which I could find myself getting bored and my younger brother drowsing. The movie was plain boring in the pre – interval part where there was less ‘CG action’. It was dark, it was gloomy, it was action right at frame1, But just like Dursley had lost its fat and gained height, the movie had lost its charm(which had very little to do with the age of the actors) and gained audience.
The only thing I liked in the movie was the final minutes of the movie, the demolition of the prophecies and the death of Sirius black. Leaving a couple of scenes whose credit goes to the CG department, the movie was equivalent to shit. May be it was expectations, may be it wasn’t, the expectations were mine so I could defend them, but Yates wasn’t mine, he was neither of the screenplay nor of the novel. He was the pimp that made Harry Potter a whore.
Finally, this Friday I got the opportunity to catch the first “first day, first show” of my life as The Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince filled the screen with the first movie title which didn’t alter in hindi. No “Aadhe khoon wala RajKumar”. I had already assassinated my expectations the day I came to know that the movie will be directed by David Yates, but when the trailers trudged the screen of my TV, computer, PMP, a tinge of expectations etched my head again. I was expecting a dark insight into Voldemort’s history as I had known from my cousin and the wicked web of novel spoilers about almost everything; still I hadn’t read the novel except the chapter Lightning Struck Tower in which Dumbledore dies. But whatever I knew, it had created the image of the movie as the darkest of the HP movies, but unexpectedly what it turned out to be was a funny partial teeny-bopper, partial tongue in (opposite sex’s) cheek comedy, which had more smooches than spells and for the first time Dumbledore behaved as ‘tharki buddha’ staring at the girl in the hoarding, collecting magazines and keeping check of Harry’s love interests. May be he wanted to ‘live’ before death.
According to Imdb and my cousin who had read the novel (who was snatching my cell phone at regular intervals in the movie, may be because of the boredom, may be because he had felt that the movie had lost somewhere along with him) they had not only altered the scenes but created new ones which were entirely useless apart from showing what they should have. The most to-be dramatic and intense scenes in the movie looked forced (the intro to horcruxes, whore-cruxes as pronounced by Voldemort, the death of Dumbledore, the funeral etc etc) and didn’t created the impact they ought to create. The only scene in the movie, which I liked, was the zombie one. The 5th movie degraded the FEEL; the 6th not only degraded the FEEL but degraded the scenes also.
Now that I have already read the Deathly Hallows part, in which JK Rowling had herself killed the charm of previous novels, what can I expect from Yates Bhai who will make 2 damn movies on it?
May be I can expect something.
Hope Swine Flu takes care of him!

Youtube Screening Room Favourites

2009-07-18T20:59:00.012+05:30

The first time my eyes fell on YOUTUBE SCREENING ROOM, i thought it was just another compilations of uselles youtube videos thrown in by amateurs, playing with their cams, or hamming up their heads, but fortunately it turned out to be the updated collection of the best videos i have ever seen on youtube or anywhere else,

the best short movies in high quality.

I havent seen so many movies from YTScreening room, but the ones i saw i loved al,ost all of them.

Some of my favourites:

The Scab

One of the movies that made me LOL.

Reach
The best possible way to show try try and try again might not lead to success.

Sebastian Voodoo

What a way to show sacrifice for friendship.

Skeletons in the Closet
Now thats exemplary storytelling with twists and turns.Truly Brillaint.

Spider

pranks and their consequences.A movie based on its tagline and the tagline based on the movie.

Keyboard Scrabble

2009-04-27T03:23:00.001+05:30

KEYBOARD SCRABBLE

Shrieking rotating chairs, shouting assholes, chattering nonsense. A so called computer lab filled with handicap students and non-handicap students or the non handicap students that slide over the ceramic cream color tiles with the wheel chairs with little wheels. The teacher indulged in his sown horrendous duties. Boredom surrounds me. My screwed up mind vibrates. I become the devil and my workshop kick-starts.

The ancient white idiot boxes lie switched off like dormant zombies, waiting to get their asses kicked and get their bodies re-buried.

I see them, they see me and then they see my writometer. I approach them with the pen. Do hell with those 15”/17” CRT, they aren’t my target, I am interested in something that lays lower, THE KEYBOARD.

New and old, black and white keyboards lay in their graves i.e the scrolling drawers. My mind tweaked my hands, and they followed the pen to crack the code.

I inserted the pen tip, under the key to be displaced, and then under the key to be inserted, fast but stealthily. Determination, danger, will, wickedness circled my head as I played with the keys. F1,F2,F3,F4 turned SEXY and F5,F6,F7,F8 changed their sexes to become GIRL.

Not to mention the multiple keyboards I screwed up with the “F” word.

Hell if I can do it, why not you. The most enjoyable thing about the useless Keyboard Scrabble is that it might slaughter your boredom, though it might do the same with you, if the keyboard ain’t yours. But what’s the fun if you do It on your keyboard.

The most suitable gaming parlors for Keyboard Scrabble are school computer labs, cyber cafes, friend’s/foe’s computer when he/she might not be present.

Get ready, start bashing and mashing!

SPECIAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE

2009-04-27T02:43:00.002+05:30

SPECIAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

My computer knows me better than I do… or it just cares for me… It has got some special artificial intelligence that whenever my examination gives a knock, it locks itself in weird ways, cringes my head with its infertility.

It tries everything, every damn’ thing to frustrate me and divert my attention from it to me.

It handles my abuses, spanks and nuisances, but still it continues its Satyagraha and Gandhigiri to force me to immerse myself in the disastrous tree waste i.e. the damned textbooks, so I can atleast pass in the exams.

In 2007, it screwed my head with frequent restarts like it was shivering with malaria, in its case I was the plasmodium.

I tried the non-Gandhian way at the C.P.U (since I suck at hardware messing). I slapped it with variations of forces and velocities, and sometimes it worked, just like a kid beaten by its parent, cries for a minute and then the kid is back to his hell.

Finally I called those S.O.B. computer engineers who show tantrums for a week or two, ignoring calls, handling them and making erratic excuses, as if they have made a deal with telecom companies, so that the moron whose computer turns moron has to shell out the money on telephone calls first and then on those damn bastards.

Now as my half yearly Ist semester exams shrieks are getting nearer and nearer, the Computer is back to haunt me so that I could finally study after wasting a whole lot of months on it.

Now its hanging, crashing, grunting, growling, turning sufi songs into heavy metal. And if that wasn’t enough, it increased the corruption levels by corrupting the windows.

An d now its suffocating along with me. Hope I respect my dear PC’s temporary sacrifices for my better and let that hope rust in some Ghajini rod.

!!! FIRST FAILURE !!!

2009-03-08T17:03:00.000+05:30

Tension trailing down the head, body drenched by sweat, the atrocious chill down the spine- I always thought that the failure would be just like this and much more devastating, but last year I actually experienced the four-lettered worked which starts with ‘F’ but doesn’t end with ‘K’.

My half yearly examinations banged on with the Catastrophic Chemistry taking the lead. The question paper didn’t seem as terrible as I thought it would be, but as my pen trolled across the blank answer sheet. As the time circulated, I reckoned that just like the blank answer sheet, my brain was also blank.
Half-baked answers, otiose cheating attempts and blah blah blah. If those crazy attempts weren’t enough for my crazy head to ‘screw-up’ the puking paper, I began to draw crazy cartoons at the back of the question paper, pierced the eye balls of those cartoons with my pen and passed threads in them, and then tied over a knot around them. Devastating, crazy and true!
…and soon the three hours passed like a whiff of a wind.

Then came the Pathetic Physics, with its evil intentions. The pen was in no mood to wander across the one lined page field, as my head was blank, blanker from the damn’ beginning. No “blahs” to scribble as I ain’t good at notorious numerical and delusional derivations. Sheet by sheet children emptied, I sat still and silent with my hollow head thinking nothing, doing nothing. Was I nuts? Or was the teacher. She allowed me to cheat! Infact she asked me to cheat! , but she did that intelligent thing when the remaining time wasn’t that intelligent. In lieu of giving me the much awaited opportunity earlier, she had been asking me silly questions like “Why aren’t you doing the paper?” and I was retorting in a sillier and eco-friendly way “Just Conserving trees” I replied.
And then came the old n gold(shiny shit) yet not sold M!d@r#h$d Mathematics. Like always he greeted me a much awaited head-ache.

I again tried, tried and tried again,
Alas I came to know that I was just deep-frying my brain!

But by crook fastened with a hook, I somehow managed to shit-up the paper by scribbling over the false and fake marks with someone’s red pen, but still the marks couldn’t cross the border between the pass and fail, so I played with the total marks to cross the border line. Anyhow it worked and it didn’t. I wasn’t pass and I wasn’t fail but landed on the boundary, on the border between the pass and the fail, but the two bloody assholes waited for me there to drag me into the well of wail.
I wasn’t dead, but was I alive???

PAPER- A short movie

2009-01-21T12:18:00.000+05:30

Last year, when my papers got over, on a boring day i decided to do something interesting, though the outcome was boring just like that day, but still i think the video is quite bearable.
So spare your 6 mins. to bear my first attempt.

Made using My Sony DCR-HC46E for recording and Windows Movie Maker for editing errors and terrors (Premiere was giving me format headaches)
Please express your burps!

Its NOT inspired from "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets"

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE / SLUMDOG CROREPATI: REVIEW

2009-01-09T11:37:00.001+05:30

With the news of Slumdog Millionaire's constant winning streak . I got curious to know what the heck's in the movie. And since its releasing on 23^rd Jan and so are my annual papers, I thought when will piracy play its vital role. So I searched it over the net and finally found the English version of it on orkut.

a still from slumdog millionare

Plotty Potty:

Based on Vikas Swarup's novel "Questions and Answers", Slumdog Millionaire is a not-so-ordinary rags to riches story of a boy named Jamal Malik told in a not-so-ordinary way.

Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) participates in Kaun Banega Crorepati ( Indian version of Who Wants to Be A Millionare) to find his childhood love Latika (Freida Pinto) where he is accused of cheating.

The movie starts with Jamal being interrogated by the police about how he knew the answers to all the questions. The movie unfolds as Jamal narrates his sour n' sweet experiences behind every answer.

So is the movie really so good?

Ya b) No c) Not really d) Damn' You

and the answer is… 'c' … Slightly overrated and over-awarded.

And about the acting ?

Fine b) Yuck c) Good d) Brillaint

And the answer is… 'c'

It could have been brilliant.

Though the acting is well ( neither good nor bad) but the movie in English is a little bit undigestible. Plus that Mr. Salim, as he grows not only his English improves but he starts speaking with a lil' bit of brit accent (not even gujarati Patel). Anil Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla were good. Irrfan Khan looked boozed. Latika (Freida Pinto) looked beautiful and acted beautifully.

Kudos to the child artists in the movie, especially the youngest Jamal and his brother Salim.

The movie has got its own flaws (KBC was never telecasted live) but the director Danny Boyle knew how to hide the flaws with his intelligent story-telling.

Soundtrack:

The background score by AR Rahman goes along the mood of the movie (the O Saiyya,Ringa Ringa,Sitar music)

Craziest Scene:

When youngest Jamal jumps in shit to get the autograph of Amitabh Bachchan (the fake one)

Coolest Scene:

Old bollywood style of increasing the age, but I really liked the scene when youngest Jamal tries to steal the food from the train.

Sucking Scene:

The AR Rahman's 'Jai Ho' comes before/along the credits with a damn' dance number (which looked similar to ek challis ki last local's kya hua jo lari chuti… but this one was more weird looking)

When expectations exceed, celestial bodies decrease.

For Slumdog Millionare

Happy New Year

2008 sucked!!!
hope 2009 turns out better!!!

Eleventh Sucks!!!

2008-12-28T10:51:00.000+05:30

ELEVENTH SUCKS BIG TIME!

Why does it always feels like that the previous class rocked, and the current one sucks ( most people say, may be not but hell I say it)

I am in the 11^th grade for more than half a year, and it seems that I am rusting and decaying in the walls of 11^th for more than a lifetime., though my text books and refreshers refuse to agree… some display their dew-fresh untouched pages (they aren’t wet) and some torn apart (I don’t blame myself for testing the effects of gravity on them, in fact damn CBSE and NCERT for the screwed up quality of the books, the books with the hologram)

My perspective towards studying/cramming changed a lot in the past few years. My favorite subjects switched their positions, from Science to S.St to English to IT to nothing.

Even though I have chosen Sciences-Non Medical (forcibly) it is hard for me to digest more than one paragraph at a time.

My most hated and dreaded subject from the last decade used to be Mathematics, until Science took an unexpected turn and absorbed numbers and gave birth to the two new demons in the Science, The Chemistry and The Physics, where the fusion of the numericals and the good old concepts took place.

And now Physics and Chemistry have taken more grim avatars, their books might not be king sized but the reference books that may not enhance your mind but regular lifting and dropping of it may enhance your biceps.

In fact Physics and Chemistry have formed new definitions in my screwed up mind.

Physics: Baat ka Batangarh Banana (Making a mountain out of mole hill).The concepts which were sometimes interesting for me have turned into crappy derivations with triple x’s and y’s v1’s and v2’s and lot of weird greek alphabets that keep on getting add as constants.

Eg: If something falls, according to physics “OMG it can fall! Let’s put some g’s and G’s over it”

Chemistry: If it was fiction it could be much better but alas it’s a collect of false facts and hypothetical bullshittin’ concepts that were given by drunk homo-genius scientists. Chemistry is a whole damn’ branch of lying on lies.

Eg: A dog Is peeing @ a pole , according to chemistry it is pouring some H₂O on Fe

With tremendous increase in the stinkin’ tendencies of Physics and Chemistry, The fear of Maths has reduced somewhat.

LONG DIE P.C.M.

Browsers Without Internet!

2008-09-17T13:56:00.000+05:30

In the last post i mentioned about the browser brawls.
But all these browser brawls are meaningless...crap... if there is no internet connection!

But the browsers have already prepared themsleves for such mess... by giving crap messages...
different but frustrating!

First and Foremost comes the Internet Explorer with "Cannot Find Server"
-right enough!
Firefox vomits "Address not found" - Crap on You! You cant find Google!
Would Firefox get web attacks if it stated "Server Not Found" ?

The least crapped and most relevant message is of Safari.
It doesnt atleast torture the user with useless bullshit!

Opera yells "Could not locate remote server" but in the end gives the same lame bullshit that firefox farted!

Chrome should be beaten the hell out with chrome objects... for not obeying its master!
It bloats "The webpage is not available" to the same google that gave him birth.
It later says that his father has died... or maY have moved to some new place!
Pity on Chrome!

Thanks for tolerating this senseless shit...
If your mind is not full of shit... make sure to click them to enlarge them
because normal eye sight wont allow you to see whats written after the titles

Browser Brawls

2008-09-07T14:18:00.000+05:30

Few months ago it was Mozilla Firefox 3,
few days ago it was Google Chrome, that stole the attention as well as some of the hard disk space of many of the internet users.
As the so called internet "content" is growing... how can the browsers sit back.
With the increasing number of web browsers, the competition is getting fierce, freakin' fierce.
Although the battle/brawl/war (usage) continues to be won by Internet Explorer ( just because it comes preloaded with microsoft windows).
The real winner is of course Firefox, because it is promoted like hell with different widgets, ads supporting.

For Internet Explorer,
I dont hate it, i dont love it, and i dont update it, because in the end i always return to the good old internet explorer 6 because of my years of experience with it.

And Firefox,
I dont understand why the hell people are so affectionate/crazy about it, if security is the concern...i dont damn think so... it gave my a computer a cool present known as spyware...
its adventures are stated here. Also it doesnt block most of the pop up poops...
Well, its not that bad (because i am using it now) because and only because of the so called Add-ons, another reason being the Spell Check, which is a great feature for me as i am the king of the typos and you might have noticed that in many of my posts( if you would have the guts to read them).
And finally the add-ons that make it similar to Opera.

The other browser in the race and in my PC is Safari from Apple.
Its neither my default browser nor the browser which i use frequently, it has got a reason and a good damn' reason.

The reason: to access "good" magazines for free.
Thanks to Labnol for that!!

Google's Chrome is just too new to make its mark... and its just doesnt have so many features as compared to other web browsers.
Its just simple and cool and in beta. (That's what Google is known for simple and cool stuff... and years of keeping it as beta... Orkut is still in beta.)
The damn' things i feel in it are no menu bar... thought it may be their take at innovation...
i think it just a mistake!

And finally the browser which i l♥ve...
Opera
Though its current status is uninstalled, the interface, the speed-dial, the mouse-gestures, the "key" used to save password, the themes according to me simply rock...
whereas the only thing that i hated in it was frequent crashes and slow start up times.
which deserved to be bashed up with rocks.

Finally a browser is a browser.
Features will only get added, the main motive of the browsers is to surf the wide wicked web of internet...
full of crap...

J&K Land Row Cartoon

2008-08-11T11:33:00.000+05:30

If you have got news channels bumming into your homes, then you might have heard about the news reagrding the month long J&K protests regarding the land which was given to/taken away from Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (S.A.S.B)

(The reason why i know about this news is most probably that, i live in Jammu....and the earlier phase of it[ending june] cancelled my holidays to Srinagar.)

I wished to take some snaps of the agitation...the revolts...the protests...

but as a normal middle class camera owner, i care for my camera too.

(Another reason being i just couldnt get the opportunity to see the real "thing" happening)

So i decided why not to make a cartoon over this entire problem

(whatever you call it...for me its free freakin' holidays)

Dont kill me as this is my first political cartoon.

The Meaning:

Well, unfortunately this meaningless cartoon does have a meaning.

1. K stands for Kashmir and J stands for Jammu (Hope you had this much of brain).

2. Big ants stand for the ploiticians... and small for the people, who are ready to sacrifice for the big ants.

3. Thhe center of the cartoon i.e. "S.A.S.B.ahu"

where S.A.S.B stands for Shri Amarnath Shrine Board.

And it also means that differences have been cropped up between Sas (mother-in-law) and Bahu(daughter-in-law), where Sas stands for kashmir as it is bigger in size, dominating and the desicions are going in her favour and Bahu ofcourse is jammu for the opposite reasons.

Hope you got what the cartoon is all about...

please rate and burp out your views about this cartoon.

The Making:

I had made this cartoon on my drawing pad... and made an attempt to capture them via my DCR-HC46E( I dont have a scanner).

Unfortunately the pencil stokes were dull enough to be seen. So i had to get back to Flash5, but i didnt wasted the image that i had captured...

So i redraw it all over again on Flash5( on the image outline).

Then i took its screen shot editted it a little in paint (the little means adding up my links at the top)

And then i though that realistic fire and smoke would be better.

So i popped up Photoshop.

Edited the image via Eye Candy 4000 plugin...(by applying blur, fire and smoke effects)

and here it is, the cartoon is ready to be stared and criticised.

BX off ... Spyware on...

2008-08-08T17:35:00.000+05:30

Finally I could change my blogger theme and got rid of those annoying Bx's...
by manually deleting the widgets. And I got a new 'cool' theme for my blog.
(Please burp out wheather you liked the new theme or not)
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Firefox, the so called most secure browser of the world has always been unlucky to me.Whenever its on my PC, spywares always strikes my computer.
This time the so called so secure browser has done the harm itself by screwing up my computer with 15 f'in spywares, malwares, trojans etc etc... and still it is the most loved, most downloaded, most appreciated browser!.

Thank God, the good old Spybot- Search n' Destroy removed 12 of them...
but still The so called "Smitfraud BS.c" malware is kicking the ass off my computer.
It has eaten up my screensavers, wallpapers...
By giving me a precious wallpaper that i saved as a memory.

iPhone Interactive!!!

2008-07-22T23:26:00.000+05:30

Iphone, which revolutionized the cell phone... the smartphone... the touch screen has finally (ok its a couple of months) jumped into 3G market by launching iPhone 3G.

Some dont have iPhone as they cant afford it... and some because it isnt available in their countries yet (i am the one of them and may be you) and some may not be interested in the iShit at all...

Well I am and that matters...

After offering you my attempts at the "iPhone Experience"

I give you the more detailed and more cool experience (i wished i could be the one who could develop it... but beacuse of lack of HLL knoweledge andlack of time i couldnt)

THE IPHONE INTERACTIVE...

is what may experience almost 20% of handling a iphone...

Try it & TryPhone

Bloody BX and etc. etc.

2008-07-07T21:12:00.000+05:30

Change the theme, remove the ads and other bullshit~
I was actually sick and tired of the theme on my blog for around 9 months( and no my theme didnt gave out a baby)

Then came June, strikes, curfews and finally vacations and curfews and so on...)
When the vacations began i finally decided to finish the god damn' job ( i feared that by changing my template i'll lose all damn' ads and widgets... but later i made up my mind finally... another reason was that no post was kicking my mind.)
Then i searched around the gr8 "G" a.k.a. Google for 3 column templates (free of course) but blah blah blah... didnt liked them at the first sight.

After that bullshit i scrolled through some sort of a blog to look for the "powered by 'XXX'/'XXX' themes."
And then the site popped up, but it was in portuguese, didnt mattered to me because google translator was with me.
Then i downloaded a few templates, looked good, saved them applied them and then deleted them (opinions change~ especially mine).

After that i knocked back at the doors of google to search for some more damn templates and finally i actually liked some of them.
Then i was back at the threshold of blogger to edit html> upload the new template...
and then.........................
wtf... i was welcomed by beautifully brutal BX Codes...

whose BX remained the same but its fathers kept on changing such as BX-shit, BX-crap and BX-whatever and so on...
Help Groups, Help Blog tried every damn service they offered...

May be the "Blogger" is having s good Kumbakarana(6 month) sleep.

After letting them die, I switched to their very own pathetic templates to live on, blog on.

Though i am still waiting to get rid of the bX-Bullshit, i think i need to move on/survive.

And while typing my pain out...i have finally written a 100+ words post!

If anyone knows how to over come those highly poisonous BX-bugs then please burp out(comment) your remedy.

Sarkar Raj: Review

2008-06-10T14:08:00.000+05:30

Sarkar Raj: Review
After spending 100 bucks for the movie ticket and 30 bucks for a Coke i wished that Sarkar Raj
had finally something in store for me... and that it would be better than its previous
installment that i had watched on the original VCD... but it couldnt follow the magic of Sarkar.

So what the heck is the story:::

Starring Amitabh Bachchan as Subash Nagre, Abhishek Bachchan As Shankar Nagre and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Anita Ranjan, Sarkar Raj deals with the political and social scenario of Modern day Maharashtra when a proposal for establishing a power plant in rural Maharashtra is brought by Ash and is approved by Abhi. And the consequences of the approval with some twists, turns, violence
and etc. etc....

Now, doing something crazily sensible...

If Sarkar Raj is a coin, here is its head and tail...

Head:

1) Original Script (hope so)

2) Brilliant Performances

3) Nice Dialogues

Tail:
1) Slow

2) absurd camera angles

3) Useless Rona-Dhona ( I dint understood why the f'in hell Aishwarya was continuosly crying in the movie...)

Since i could only find 3 heads and 3 tails...

so how could the asrology be more or less than that...
stars for Sarkar Raj(Thackrey)

The Results are Out!!!

Thes results of AISSE2008(whatever) are finally out.
And they have shocked as well as surprised everyone, just like me.
I could believe it that i wasnt even a little bit tense for the results the night before them.
Though i waked up all the damn' night (as the next day was a holiday and not the result)
I was Suffering from and Surfing the net late night downloading some movie... and creating an animation to pass my time...
But i couldnt beat the night and finally i slept at six to wake up again at eight to face my most loved thing converting itself to most hated thing while staring at the result that proved the statement "expect the unexpected" TRUE.

Now another shock stroke me as i mistakenly did some uselesss senselees registry change...(actually spybot asked and i answered randomly) just to find out that everytime i switched my computer on i was welcomed by my very own result and when i decided to swirch it off the same result bade me goodbye...
If anyone can help please comment...
till then watch the animation i made the night before the result.

The Gr8 Windows Movie Maker

The Gr8 Windows Movie Maker

If you are a frequent and old reader of Crazyblog (which you would definitely not be), you might have noticed that the quote which I have used in many of my posts…

“The best things in the world are free, or make your pockets free”
However Windows Movie Maker fortunately doesn’t belong to latter category.

What the hell Windows Movie Maker (WMM) is:
As the name suggests, Windows Movie Maker is a cool and free utility that allows you to create movies. You can simply say (you can shut your mouth also) that WMM is a video editing software mostly used for creating nice home video e.g.:- Vacation and stuff like that.

Windows Movie Maker is preinstalled on Windows XP and Vista( may be on 98,2000 too) and the version in Windows XP SP2 is much better than that of SP1 as it has multiple transitions and effects which are sufficient for almost everyone.
You need at least 256 MB of RAM for its “good” working.
(I had tried it a 128 MB also… but it results in frequent crashes and video losses)

If you’ll “try to try it” for a little more that half an hour, you will learn its controls and working without even glancing (if an ex 13 years (now 15) student + blogger could do it then why not you)
And it’s damn’ simpler and easier to use than its rivals.

Now I am writing whatever I am typing teach you, or to persuade you (Note: I am not Microsoft’s or its nerd honcho’s servant to use this not often used utility, but simply because I like this software) to use this not often used utility for non-stereotypical purposes… i.e. video editing of marriages and vacation and shit (stuff word already used) like that.

So what the hell you can do via Windows Movie Maker:

1. Download Songs
2. Make an animation
3. Make a Presentation/ Slideshow

1. Download Songs:
You can download the songs running on your P.C. Via the method I had already mentioned in my
First post.

2. Making an Animation:
This one requires a high patience skill (which I don’t possess)

Now what the heck to do:

1. Draw Pictures (I drew on Paint), you can scan the pictures or do whatever so that they are safely in your hard disk.

2. Import these pics. To Windows Movie Maker, from Movie Tasks > Import pictures.

3. Now do the real work, i.e. drag and drop your pics. In order of appearance In the timeline/storyboard view.

4. Animation without sound is better than bullshit… So to put some sound to your animation…switch to the timeline view and Click the mike. Button (Narrate Timeline) and record your sound while the animation runs… such that the sound runs along with the frames. Or if your throat has withered up… and you don’t want to waste your precious voice for such stuff… or you just don’t have a microphone… then you can import the sound you want to run from Movie Tasks > Import audio or music, and drag it at the Audio/Music in the Timeline View. Be sure to click the sound and reduce/increase its size by dragging it with the red resizers, if your sound is too long for the animation, or your animation is too short for the sound.

5.Now, what the hell;;; save it!!!

P.S. This can be applied to the Stop-motion Videos too.

example:

3. Make a Presentation/ Slideshow:
You can also make a Presentation/Slideshow by importing all the pictures captured by you…
Just like it was done in “Making an Animation”.
But for making better slideshows, I suggest you to apply the video transitions between each picture by:
1.Selecting Video Transitions from the drop down menu at the bar below the menu bar (I always forget its name)

2.And then drag and drop the transitions between the pictures in the small boxes in the Storyboard View.

3.Then simply save your stuff.

In a presentation you will need to write your stuff in paint… and then import the pics.

The best thing about making presentations on it is that you can run your presentations/slideshows on a VCD/DVD player.

example:

There may be many other things which can be done via Windows Movie Maker…
It would be great if you will try these things out (and give the credit to me for teaching you how to do it) but it would be greater if you come up with some more things and burp back.

Get lost and start trying.

Sprite -the Spoofer is back

2008-04-07T18:24:00.000+05:30

Recently while shuffling channels via my tata sky remote control, i paused at something familiarly unfamiliar... and what i paused was some advertisement* resembling over-hyped useless "Pepsi Youngistan" ad*.

And hell it was a crazy ad indeed replacing youngistan with jungleeistan, firangeeisatan, kabrisatan and finally pados.
Then rolled yeh hai hindustan
Finally i came to knew that this ad/commercial was the latest ad from sprite.
And then i tracked down my memory lane... and remembered that few years ago Sprite had spoofed Mountain Dew in a "Peelarious" way.
Though Mountain Dew answered back, but it wasnt as impactful and as humorous as the Sprite's ad.
(Who cares... the ads are there to increase sales not to make people laugh)
Then Sprite came with ridiculous ads, featuring 3d crows and sania(s) (both are the same) but both of them didnt lasted long and didnt left any impact.
(May be even this wont, but i wish to write and i will write)
And a few months ago Sprite brought the truthly boring ad.
(Well i actually hate their slogan or whatever it is... Clear hai...Pyaas Bujaao and stuff like that...
arre pyaas hi bujani hai to saalon pani piyo sprite mein moo marney se ghanta milega)

The spoof war between the similar coloured and similar flavoured cold drinks is not really new...
it often takes place, but nothing doenst really gets out of control as it should have been.
The first ad i saw in which a coldrink was being spoofed was may be of thumsup many years ago.
But i dont understand why its the beverage companies that ofter quarell.
Returning Back...
May be Pepsi will fight back, may be it wont, but what we can do is watch these commercials stroll between our eyes...and those pestiscide drops flow through our stomach.

Though my post wouldnt do any shit, but as soon as news channels like India TV exist... there might be some news for sure popping in their special reports and breaking news.

So watch out and drink in

Spacebar Breakers

2008-03-31T18:45:00.001+05:30

Spacebar the longest key, apart from being used to provide spaces in a word processor, or in ur blog is also targetted by the game makers, and especially gamers.
Though my space bar key, is not broken yet... but i like seeing other people's broken keyboards.
Well not really.
After the arrow keys, w,s,a,d and enter "space bar" is used...
and i am going to mention some games... that require extreme pressing of your space bar key, that may even lead to its breaking.

1.Gully Cricket:
This is an online version of reformed cricket that is often seen in the streets of india( mostly on sundays and curfews).
You can play it just below

even this game, has a point when, you will have to continuosly press the space bar, and keep it hitting...if you keep it hitting you survive and if you dont, your game is over... its just like a local street panga.

see the screen shot:-

____________________________________________________________________

2.GTA San Andreas

Another one in my list of spacebar breakers is GTA San Andreas.

Though the whole game wont break your space bars , but workkout in the gym surely needs pissing off on your space bar keys.

It gives a very little experience of lifting those bloody dumbbells.

Checkout its screenshot below:-

____________________________________________________________________

3. Shrek 2

Though this one is not as popular as GTA but this is more tougher, freakier and tenser...

I am not talking about the whole game Shrek 2, at first sight you'll think it as game of kids...

But later when you reach the "Puss in Boots" level, you will rightly feel the pain.

Satisfy yourself by viewing the screenshot below:-

Beware along with space bar many other keys are at a risk.

____________________________________________________________________

And last but not the least

4. Panja Fight( Arm Wrestling)

This one is something that can kill your arm and spacebar.

This game has real visuals whi will arm wrestle with you.

This one is a must-play game if you want to break your spacebar.

Click the screenshot below to experience the game.
