Pilla Jamindar .. a good movie

Watched Pilla Zamindar movie today..just sharing my feel about it.

After a longtime , watched a good movie ..values mixed with enough entertainment....dailogues are really good..I liked it technically also in various aspects....I liked the cinematography in parts( though its not great..his passion can be seen in some parts..we should also keep scope in mind)..After a longtime I saw a movie with complete native village backdrop..(before this, the last one I could recall is ownanna kadanna of Teja)..bits of movie songs coming in background according to mood of scene are very funny and make us laugh . Screenplay is normal and locks in it are easily guessable.

Overall its a good native treat..film with values..enough entertainment..no vulagrity..no violence..

Hope more such movies come! All the best to the team of Pilla Jamindar.

Thanks

Widening the scope of sports in India..

Read an article in internet...Sharing it as I felt happy that scope of sports in India is being broadened...

Former Indian cricket skipper Sourav Ganguly who brought revolutionary changes in Indian cricket and laid the foundation for all the reforms being followed now is gung-ho about the inaugural Formula One Indian Grand Prix and feels it will be a big leap in broadening the sports environ in the cricket-crazy nation.

“The cricket crazy nation will get to taste something new and extremely exciting. It has the potential to find its audience in the country, Ganguly said at the Sahara Force India Formula One Team flag raising event. An excited Ganguly said he would be a spectator at the event and was looking forward to watching the likes of "Schumacher (Michael Schumacher), Hamilton (Lewis Hamilton).”

"I have been to a Grand Prix before when I was in Northampton playing for Northamptonshire in 2006. I will be present there on the 30th to witness the epoch-making event. I wish I could sit inside this car (pointing to the Force India car model)," he said.

JA's lecture on Skill development..ways and challenges.

Recently attended a conference on the topic Skills needed in this current competetive world , ways and challenges. It was awesome. Happy to share that I had a privilege of meeting and talking to JA Chowdary ( You might have heard and seen him in news many times..(Co-chairman FICCI ,CEO Tallent spirit, President TiE, President HYSEA,Ex-chairman IEEE, Ex-chairman AMCHAM and trustee of NANDI).I saw in news a long back , a minister saying that with out him Hyderabad would not have had 17 lakh IT jobs..he is such a great tycoon in the industry.

He shared with us many inspisring incidents and his learnings from them ..starting from he going to interviews to ..he getting shocked after he went to do campus interviews... Most inspiring one was his meeting with Steve jobs ..he narrated how Steve jobs thinks , judges and takes decisions etc.

It was attended by many managers, PMPs, business school heads, many renowned corporate trainers who also had their queries on the topic. It was really inspiring and thought provoking.

Thanks

StrengthsFinder 2.0..a good book

Finally finished reading one of the best sellers StrengthsFinder 2.0 :-)....

It's a good book where Tom rath (about whom we all heard as one of best selling authors of last decade and also as a good business consultant) took foward his mentor Clifton's StrengthsFinder book...

It helps us in understanding various personality&attitude related skills by clearly defining and explaining them with examples..there by in avoiding misunderstanding people of such skills..

It helps us in realising our inner strengths there by in realising where we are lacking.

Thanks to servers which were down and less load of work on days which facilitated in completing this :-)

Thanks

Infosys Narayana murthy's comments on IITs

Recently Narayana murthy made some comments about the decreasing quality in IITs..It arose some critisism from people who feel defended by those comments..

Below is the link for reference about his comments..

http://www.indiaeducationreview.com/news/iits-getting-poor-quality-students-narayana-murthy

what's wrong in them..I am in complete support of his comments ..In recent past Kapil Sibal also commented in an interview that 85% of technical students are garbage and 15% are taking country forward.

Recently list of top 200 universties of world is released ..it is unfortunate that not even 1 Indian institute/university is listed in it.

Some people may say that these ratings are biased/partial towards west or fake ratings etc..I agree to little extent..but let me clarify that  these will be calculated considering manythings like..

1. Qualification of Faculty 2. Patents they hold 3. New Technology discovered/invented/transferred

4. Nobel Laureates 5. Publications of the faculty and the impact of the publication whether it was a normal research or a ground breaking research 6. Endowment received 7. Infrastructure of the University

8. Student/Faculty ratio 9. What the students did after graduation.

So its just not about qualitative engineering course..or packages students get..there are lot more..These rankings authenticate Narayana murthy's comments..

Majority of above factors can be improved if Govt allocates good money..I wish Govt takes some constructive measures with proper vision.

Thanks.
