When my friend sought out an explanation the candidate took his resume from interviewer and claimed that he had by mistake brought someone else' resume. He excused himself and never returned.<BR/><BR/>That was the most bizarre thing I have ever heard about an interview. Cheating on phone interviews is certainly not something unheard of. :-)ओंकार (Onkar)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10622132201989097057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-53913525491199121622008-08-08T02:45:00.000-07:002008-08-08T02:45:00.000-07:00Whtever happens ...it all happens for the GUD lady...Whtever happens ...it all happens for the GUD lady .<BR/><BR/>but yes....some of the thoughts can be mapped to mine, few months back .:-))).<BR/><BR/>Its just a passing phase...as u have said at d end .:-)))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823198148751584277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-24262986656020394972008-08-07T20:48:00.000-07:002008-08-07T20:48:00.000-07:00Is the name of the book 'secret' ??Is the name of the book 'secret' ??Ankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548127478425975716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-37633516866430734342008-08-07T11:59:00.000-07:002008-08-07T11:59:00.000-07:00cool, awesome.

Watching many movies, discussing them with like minded people, living in awe of the directors who created them has become normal for me.<BR/>But are they so important?<BR/>To answer this question, I have to delve deep into the idea of watching a movie.<BR/>Why are you watching a movie?<BR/>Could be due to many reasons. You wish to catch up with friends, share those special moments, and you consider movie to be a refreshing ice breaker. Waiting in those long queues, running around for tickets, eating the pop-corn in the intermission, it all is a ritual for you. Apart from this, you would also enjoy the movie and the story in it. Discuss it for a while. Forget about it.<BR/>This is one way of dealing with movies.<BR/>The other way is about a deeper relationship with movies as an art. You don't really care if you watch the movie in a theater or on your computer, with many friends or just alone. You would want to know the story that the director conveys. You want to experience the movie to an extent that you feel to be a part of it. You get transported into the movie, you feel the atmosphere of the movie sink into you everytime you start watching one. It sets your mood for the next 2 hours and you will remember what the director did, what the actors did, and what dialogues were present for a long time to come. This of course will mean that you would be interested in serious movies rather than just superficial ones. But I won't be judgemental and will leave the choice upto you. The important point is that you live the movie.<BR/>It's only when you start going through the emotions of characters on the silver screen and feel a connection with them, that you start liking this experience.<BR/><BR/>Movies are nothing but a medium of learning. It's like a novel but sometimes more powerful - for it packs a punch in just 2 hours. 10 pages in a novel, trying to immerse you into a setting of hot, blistering sun in the middle of a desert; the protagonist trying to undo the evil magic of mirages and desperate for water - This is shown in a span of 2 minutes, thanks to the entire crew of the movie.<BR/>So, are they important. In some ways. Ask yourself, if novels are important. Don't they open up an entire world of knowledge to you? Movies are similar. No different.<BR/>But if you don't watch them, it doesn't mean you are not fun loving. It just means that you would be missing out on a medium of experience.<BR/>As I was taught in incessant rain during my training outbound, what you get after doing something is not learning, it's experience. Learning always comes later and is a latent process.<BR/><BR/>Hope I've given a different perspective to this question of yours.Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034717185458988157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-59024010240459565742008-06-29T01:00:00.000-07:002008-06-29T01:00:00.000-07:00waiting for neo's comment as well!waiting for neo's comment as well!Ranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812846223341924522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-90850124087125337752008-06-29T00:58:00.000-07:002008-06-29T00:58:00.000-07:00Heya!

And if you feel like that at times, either your feel a bit too conscious about yourself or the people whom you were actually , by mistake, which can definitely happen at times, without you knowing it ,might have given you that look. <BR/><BR/>On a general note, people in India are crazy about atleast one of the 2 things - Movies and Sports more specifically cricket.<BR/><BR/>At times most people are fans of both. Hence it just sounds strange that you haven't watched movies.<BR/><BR/>On a personal note, i love movies coz' its a medium of entertainment where it can take you to a different world for those few hours and makes you bond with those characters. Its a medium where different perspectives of great directors(at times not so great directors) are shared. It also, as you pointed out , generally starts with you as you grow up and in Bangalore one of the most favorite pastimes is definitely movies....coz its one of those common things that ppl can easily relate with .......Ranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812846223341924522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-38812837507579539352008-06-18T19:06:00.000-07:002008-06-18T19:06:00.000-07:00will....and be patient :-)will....and be patient :-)Allen Paishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739658876399901738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-85452153386187043202008-06-18T08:00:00.000-07:002008-06-18T08:00:00.000-07:00hey varun, so uploading pics with scribefire works...hey varun, so uploading pics with scribefire works..for proof check this out: http://allenpais.blogspot.com/Ankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548127478425975716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751434918658302247.post-13826986268452806632008-06-17T21:22:00.000-07:002008-06-17T21:22:00.000-07:00heya allen..so the article is not out yet..not sub...heya allen..so the article is not out yet..not submitted either!
