CSK vs KIXP

What a match it was yesterday in the IPL! I was already excited since Deccan Chargers won over Delhi Daredevils…infact, I thought they were close to loosing when RP Singh dropped the catch for Dinesh Karthik…but when Symonds got him…I knew it was all done! Symo does scare me a little bit but cannot help but admire the way he gets involved in his matches…especially when he’s playing for DC!

WOW…the second match…jithna bolun, uthna kam hai. Frankly, I wanted CSK to win…a southie team after all and I am also really tired of these Bollywood actors (IPL owners) coming along to watch matches with their Bollywood buddies and acting like they own the IPL and the stadium…but when it went into the super over….it didn’t matter to me….I was just glad that it went into the super over! :D:D

Hubby and I were on the edge of our seats. I can only imagine the despair Chennai supporters must have been subjected to after the loss….but it was a great match! Thank God they did not have the silly bowl outs to decide who wins…the one I saw during the first T20 world cups between India and Pakistan. It was a big Joke!!

Anyways, I hope this IPL turns out to be more interesting and exciting…obviously with DC winning it at the end :D:D

I have had a very very busy week…so looking forward to some relaxing time ahead…but will keep updating my blog accordingly :)

Cheerio Pple!

Movie Reviews : Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Lahore, Legion

Lahore Movie Review , bollywood movie Lahore Review

On the whole, LAHORE is a small little gem that takes you by surprise and catches you completely unaware. The finale in the boxing ring itself is worth the price of the ticket and more. I suggest, you make time for this one. Love Sex Aur Dhokha Review

On the whole, LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA is original, innovative and ground-breaking cinema, which will shock and provoke you. The film is definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who swear by stereotypical fares, but for those who yearn for a change. Legion Movie Review

Legion is an amalgamation of pretty much all those films which have explored the concept of a possible apocalypse, although with an extra dose of pathos. 27 minutes ago

Technological Excesses and Psychological Decline

These are the two major trends of modern times. The technological excesses are typified particularly by the excesses in Communications and media. The other area is transportation. The decline, a colossal one, is in the inner quality of man. Let’s see how.

The ubiquitous nature of Internet is the first excess. It has carried an avalanche of information, good or bad, wanted or unwanted, in to every household, enriching and corrupting at the same time.

The TV is again a captivating medium having a stranglehold on humanity, which displays a similar capacity to right or wrong in equal measure. Yesterday was the birth day of a bollywood star, Amir Khan. He was quietly celebrating his 45th birthday at his residence. Nothing unusual?  Moreover Amir is a man who shuns media, refuses to attend award ceremonies and waste his time, and does considerable social work. Enter media. The OB vans are parked outside his residence. Scores of channel personnel enter his house and telecast live the non-event for hours. An embarrassed Amir is talking to kids, cutting the cakes etc.  Amir was obviously bored. So were the viewers. But who is bothered about the subject or the object?  It is the medium which decides.

This is only a recent example of the excesses we are talking about. Media excesses have far outweighed political excesses which the former decry.

It is taking place every day in every sphere of activity where technology is involved, and technology is involved everywhere.  In other words, every form of excess in every form of human activity is made possible by technological abundance from mass production to mass communication. In short Technology is Excess-Enabler, to the detriment of human development. This may sound quite contrary to what we believe, but it is true and would be visible only to historians of the future.

Another typical example is transportation. Choking roads, polluted air etc. The more human disaster is the tendency to be on the road most of the day, whether required or not.

Take another area for instance. The cell phones. It’s foray is unimaginable and nightmarish. The power to communicate is in everybody’s hands only to increase the babble and miscommunications as there is a corresponding decline in content. ‘Cell phone, internet and the car’, is the mantra of the day. A deadly combination called Convergence.

The decline is obvious in human values and the inner content of the human psyche. The power to concentrate, the time to contemplate and the willingness to hear other’s point of view have declined to dismally low levels. The virtues of patience, compassion for the fellow humans have become extinct. Relationships have lost their meaning in this tsunami of technology. Knowledge levels, I mean the true kind and not accumulation of facts, have gone down and understanding is dismal.

To say that everything is in the hands of the individuals, who should decide where to draw the line, is untenable in the backdrop of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy which are still plaguing humanity. Only an escapist or helpless would resort to this argument. To expect the individual, a pawn in the hands of the trends of the times, to stand up, a weak entity to have the strength to fight against such giants is expecting too much from him. Only a few strong leaders could achieve this, that too only in limited areas for shorter time.
