Ruby Sparks is a must watch. I don't have time to write about it but would like to ask you a question if you have seen the film.

What is the sexiest thing in Ruby Sparks?
- Its not the film. (I agree that its a very good film)
- Its not Calvin.
- Its definitely not Ruby. (Even though she is mind boggling )
- Its not the dog, Scott. (Its just cute)
- Its not the viewer (Do not complicate the question)

Division of Andhra Pradesh

Last couple of days have been emotional for many Telugu speaking people. Telugu is arguably the second largest spoken language in India after Hindi. The state of Telugu people i.e. Andhra Pradesh would be divided into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh (Andhra + Rayalseema). After independence, Sardar Patel unified India into many states, but there was another problem from South India where a man named “Potti Sriramulu” demanded a separate state for Telugu speaking people from the state of Madras. Thus began the formation of Indian states on linguistic basis and Andhra Pradesh being the first one. Irony was about to appear, the doubts over the separate state were cleared on 30th July and the birthday of Jnanpith Awardee “Cingireddy Narayana Reddy” was on 29th July who is well known for his song “Telugu Jaati manadi” which endorses the greater association of Telugu people from all the regions of present Andhra Pradesh.

When Andhra Pradesh was being pushed into backwardness, thanks to the governance of Congress and there was no challenging opposition to counter Congress, NT Rama Rao formed the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), he attracted intellectuals, Anti-Congress and youth, and K.Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was one of the many who joined the TDP, later he would name his son as Rama Rao. Chandra Babu Naidu was at the helm of affairs when he removed KCR as the Transport Minister who would later form a new party by the name Telangana Rashtriya Samithi (TRS) which would fight for the cause of separate state of Telangana.

Dr. Manmohan Singh or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the UPA

Well, as Manmohan Singh & his team has been saying that Inflation would come down since 2009, Congress is about to push the nation into doomsday by Food Security Bill etc... and the left liberals of media perpetuating their own venom - i came up with a solution for the common man of this country. This is the only way in which a hard working middle class man can survive.

Comrade Arvind Kejriwal strikes

Couple of years back, a friend of mine got a call from his Delhi friend “Are you coming to Delhi to participate in the Ant-Corruption Movement?” My friend wasn't sure to go to Delhi or not, I was asked to give my opinion. Going by the draft of Lokpal bill, I wasn't in a position to endorse the bill and at the same time I advised my friend to join the movement as an honest tax payer there was deep sense of frustration and anger on the Congress Government.

Though like many, I didn't support the Lokpal bill but supported the Anti-Corruption movement and truly hoped that this unexpected huge accumulation of different levels of Indian middle class against the unprecedented corruption by Congress government would lead to many positive changes.

The movement was initially ignored by the media due to well-known reasons but later they were compelled to cover it even though some people were Unhappy. The media slaves of dynasty were forced to listen to the voice of the people ignoring the diktats of the dynasty. There, I felt that 90% of the battle is won but it got infiltrated with unwanted elements.

Frustration of a Lazy Coder

Let me put this right away, I am a very lazy coder, slow learner and procrastinator. I am a Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) graduate and working in a multinational software services company with 3.5years of experience.

I have to add more to the introduction and background information, bear with me. People of my age with state syllabus background were introduced to computer programming in our Engineering and like many, I was a bit petrified and I still do get scared, but I have evolved differently in the last 10 years which includes my 4 years of computer engineering, 3.5+ years of software job and 1.5+ years of downloading and watching movies. This is a long post – but have some patience because I am trying to raise important questions here.

It all started with C

In the 1st year of Computer engineering we were introduced to C language. I forgot to mention that I have a bad habit of leaving things in the middle when I don’t comprehend them after reading it 3-4 times and this habit has hit me very hard and almost snatched away my career.

During his visit to Chile, Barack Obama said, "I think it’s important, though, for us, even as we understand our history and gain clarity about our history, that we’re not trapped by our history". NO is a film about the historic plebiscite of 1988 on whether General Pinochet should stay in power for another 8 years and the role played by Television Advertising.

The important things which grew in the last 2 decades are Television and Internet. Both have shown enormous penetration and its influence. In India, both have taken a different path in the course of time. News has important place in both these areas and they have dramatically changed in the past 2 decades. From Arun Shourie's crusade against corruption by coming with a front page headline of "Good Morning Prime Minister" to a news channel doing a fake interview with a Bollywood star in his car asking about his political inclinations and on who is the best Prime Minister candidate in 2009.

Chile is a thin strip country on the west coast of South America. The plebiscite of 1988 is a divided into two groups, YES of General Augusto Pinochet who came to power by a coup and the NO camp who are a formation of several opposition parties who want to bring back democracy. The YES and NO camp would be provided with 15 minutes on Television for 27 days to come with their advertisements. The NO camp approaches a brilliant advertisement creator Rene Saavedra played by Gael García Bernal. Gael García Bernal is one of the very few young actors who travels continents with his talent. Be it with the Mexican film about dogs 'Amores perros', to act like a transgender in Pedro Almodóvar's 'Bad Education' and as a Chilean in 'NO'.

The first scene of the film made me feel that there was something wrong with my eyes but later realized that the whole film was shot with Sony U-matic magnetic tape to get the feel of late 80's. The decision to shoot the film with magnetic tapes had divided the critics but i felt that it was a smart decision and it added the impact which the filmmaker was intending for.
