Waiting for Sekhar kammula's movie...

Till now, I just thought Sekhar Kammula is a very good director. But when I read his profile, I came to know... that he is much dare to dream and confident enough to achieve them inspite of his background...I really got inspired by reading his profile. After reading his profile, I understood money is not a stopper/problem in achieving our dreams...

...and coming to his work, he is really briliant. He looks up the things differntly and thats where his talent lies. I truly want to watch his first film "Dollar dreams" but I couldnt find any source. He has won national award for that movie...

And his two commercial telugu movies..."Anand" and "Godavari" are awesome...
We can see how life goes...small small things which give happiness...sensitive emotions...I am not getting words to explain...Those movies are really fresh and different from normal movies. Songs and Kamalini's performance have added up good flavour to these two movies...It is very much difficult to make these kind of movies than normal formula movies...

"Anand"...oka manchi coffee lanti cinema...

...lives upto it's quotation. It is a movie of showing people of different charcters and behaviours. All the things appear like happening in the next door...It is a combination of smiles, cries, sweet nothings, friendship, love. It is all about people...,life...

"Godavari"...ee vesavi chala challa ga vuntundi...

...It is a beautiful love story...that happens in a pleasant journey on Godavari river from Rajamandry to Badrachalam...Very lively background music makes us enjoy the movie..;Hearing up the thoughts of dog is hilarious... and character of small boy pleases...
"Ramachakkani seethaki" song which is used as background is too good...What a pleasant song it is!!...It is one of my favourites...I never feel bore how many ever times I listen to it.

In the both the movies, the characterization of heroine is excellent...very independent...infact attracts more than hero but not dominating. Listening to songs of both the movies gives immense pleasure...

Sekhar kammula is a proven director with his first film itself... and now his movies became branded... I heard that his next movie is "Happy days" which deals with the college life...
...College life is the best part of anyone's life that can be remembered forever...which adds up lot sweet memories...and I am very excited to watch how Sekhar is going to show it with his kind of presentation...

Awaiting for a good movie which gives feel of life...with enjoyable songs...

In this post, there are words like plesant, feel, emotions, life, love, good, music used many times... and thats what Sekhar Kammula's movie consists of...

He is really a great director and I wish he would continue making movies of good sense... and he would be successful in his life...

I would be always awaiting for his movies...

TV9 vs Etv2

Etv2 and Tv9 exclusive 24 hours telugu news channels...with some intresting programs...These channels can be watched any time as they mostly talk about current hapenings. I just gave a thought which one is better among them...

Special programs:
Tv9 is far better if we look at the special programs it is providing. "Hot Wheels","Buisiness Watch","Close Encounters","Spandinche hrudayam","Entho chinnadi jivitham","30 minuites", "spotlight","insight","evaro okaru epudo apudu","Question of hour", "Lifeline". All these programs are very intresting. "Spandinche hrudayam" program is like doing something for the society. The hearts of people in the program can really sense it. Even Etv2 has some good programs like "sakhi","prathidvani","margadarsi", "Sukhibahava", "Yuvabharath". But all those are little bit passive compared to TV9.

Almost all programs of TV9 are based on current topics and are made very intresting. They are going to come up with another program called "Samskruthi" and I am eager to watch it. Tv9 caption "For a better society" is being justified by its programs.

For Ladies:
I should talk about "sakhi" program in Etv2. It is really wonderful program. I like it a lot. I dont miss it whenever possible. In Tv9, there is one program for ladies i.e. "Naveena" which I hate the most. The approach of that program is like "woman should be treated equal to man". But it doesn't make much sense. They say like this "No one gets shocked if a man smokes. But if a woman smokes, why people magnify it?".Smoking itself is a bad thing and treatment of a woman is different in Indiam culture. I was suprised to hear that topic. They use to give an add on this program which "plays jokes on woman stitching, cooking and watching serials". Woman should grow, adapt into various fields but she can still stitch, cook food. Basic instinct shouldnt be lost. Those things are part of a woman life. Woman should be respected...Thats what I agree with. I just dont like the concept of this program.

If we see the concept of "Sakhi", it covers various things like "cooking", "money management","soft skills","corporate cultures","Gardening","Interiors" etc...

Coverage:
Coming to coverage of news...both the channels are almost same. I observed that Etv2 covers more international news than Tv9.

Presentation:
Presentation of news is more lively in TV9. But the worst thing is it unnecessarily highlights unimportant news which grabs attention of viewers. Presentation is more inclined to get commercial gain and attract viewers in all possible ways. Etv2 is moderate in it. It can make presentation more lively.

"Neralu goralu (ETv2)" and "Crimewatch(Tv9)" dont score any points; "Citylife(ETv2)" and "Entertainment News(TV9)" score equal points.

Totally TV9 is attracting the people regardless of good or bad. Evt2 should give a zippy presentaion to give a good competition to TV9.

Great change...

Great change is that ..... I started learning COOKING


Today morning, I cooked for myself and brought in dabba for lunch...Though it is not delicious, atleast "I can" have it. Hope I continue this. This is big change for me. I started learning cooking which is going to become part of my life. I want to get ease of doing that.

I made tomato+bringal curry.

My target is to learn variety items which are not cooked regularly. Soups,Restaurant items etc.. and make ambrosial food for my people. I know, I have to take many steps to go for that...

Following Ammamma.com

I hate TV serials which involve bringing up all possible and impossible problems and run for years and years...
When I went home last time, I caught up with an add of new serial called 'Ammamma.com' in Maa TV. The title itself led up some interest in my mind. It is really different with two unrelated words... For this generation, both are two different endpoints...

And the fact that title song is written by sirivennala excited me. It starts with "ee daramo pampande vellade aa mabbu daka galipatam" sung by Keeravani. Tune is so nice and picturisation of song is also good. It shows the variations that take place in a woman's life right from her birth...

First episode was good. I am watching it whenever possible...Till now, I liked it. It is little bit slow but natural and matches with reality;hilarious too. Hope it continues like that and wont become a typical daily serial with unusual turning points; tempestuous and depressing scenes;running for generations and generations

Reminiscence of 2 years in wipro

Wipro - My first company...Really I should thank Wipro for giving me first chance. Two years in Wipro went very fast...and July 4rth(2007) was the day which made me to call back last two years and I want to put those here.

First day...came with my father to Madhapur Office; met my classmates after a long gap. I was completely observing everyone and everything in the induction time. It was like coming out of well for me. All new people from different colleges...I had Sireesha with me until we were divided into batches for training. Initially, I felt boring in training... as there was no good company... But it just went on smoothly...There were some intresting people in my batch. I have a habit of categorizing people. Intresting people are those I have some thing to learn from them. After training, assessment...it created some frustation but was an happy ending.
After that, enjoyed few weeks before putting into project. It was bad that Sireesha was in QP. We would have enjoyed lot more if we were at same place.

I was temporarily put into a project for 2 days where I had a nice time with the PM. He was also from krishnaLanka, Vijayawada. So, we had a lot to chat. There was a good kinship in just those 2 days...and only for 2 days.

There happened many things between me and kanak relating us. In induction, we both were asked to give introduction of each other. In assessment, we both got same paper and finally we were into same project. It was so nice with kanak. she is so cool with good attitude. Me, kanak and Bhargav use to go for coffee very often. Initially I was haapy that work was easily understandable and able to do comfortably without any problem...But later I realised that I am not going to gain much from that. The very best thing about the project is the team, people I worked with. It becomes another topic if I write about them. In around 20 months experience in that project, I didnt have any bad instances as well as impressing. It went on flat. There was lot of awaiting to get released from the project...In that 20 months, I might have worked seriously for 12 months. After that project, I was trained for next project for 1 month and it was so nice that I enjoyed as well as gained good knowledge. Currently working in that....

I am growing...

Hey....I am not a complain girl. Infact I have grown enough of 5'7 height. I am gonna talk about positive growth in my attitude...


In last 6 months, I see a lot of change in my attitude and I am very happy for that. I gained lot of confidence.
Earlier I use to have a quote on my desktop "Anything is difficult before it is easy". It is very much true. Once we face anything, next time it becomes very easy. If I look back for which I felt difficult, it looks so silly. Some of the things were really silly. I was in trouble for such silly sthings...it is just because I havent experienced them in the right time. I hadnt taken a chance before for those. But now, I feel so happy when I am going to face any new challenges because I will be gaining experience on one more thing.

I watched an interview of hero Venkatesh where he said "It is very important to grow internally...but people postpone it and after retirement, they think over it. By that time, death will be right a side". When I think of myself in this regard, I feel I am good enough. There has been a lot of improvement... But there are certain things which I need to improve on. Being balanced on recieving comments and compliments; controling emotions on bad or good happenings.


Though I studied in English medium, I didnt get a chance to talk in English. No...I should say "I didnt take a chance to talk in English". We didnt have much complusion that we have to talk in english. There are two things about any language- Learning and Practcing. Learning was done inadvertently during academic period. But practing started only when it became necessary. Keeping learning and practcing a side, I should admit that I use to hesitate to talk in English. But now...it became part of my life. I dont have any kind of hesitations now and also improved a lot. I use to concentrate while talking and try to control myself so that I wont go wrong. I am able to reduce the need of concentration and in coming days, I am sure that I dont have to concentrate at all. The rate of learning is fast. I am still working good enough to Learn and practice English. Blogging helps me a lot in this. This learning will go forever...

Lot more to write...

Goodness in being Happy

In my view, a good person not also makes others happy but also makes himself happy. This is the concept of this post...

Being happy is the ultimate goal of everyone in life. It comes from many sources. When we share love with someone, when we achieve something etc.We feel happiness when something good happens...

But..."Goodness in being happy" is as much true as "Happiness in being good".
We do good in our life...but it is equally important to be happy in our life. You are good enough if you keep yourself happy. Life is very valuable. We should enjoy every moment of it. It is not that we can be happy if we dont have problems. We cannot avoid problems at all. There is no life without problems. Inspite of problems, we should be happy.
If we have any problem, just think practically...what can be done? We think in all possible ways for a solution...If we dont find any, what is the best thing to be done? We have to accept the consequences, and have to ignore the problem...so that we would feel happy for rest of the things and enjoy our life.
Is it not bad to worry about the pains for which there is no solution to avoid it and wasting valuable time/life? Also that effect will be there on our fellow beings/well wishers...

It is good to ignore them at our best.

So...Don't waste time on thinking about pains/worries/upsets...try to forget slowly...and enjoy life...

1)Be satisfied with what you have.

2)Don't compare yourself with others.

These two things will get rid of feelings (like jealousy,envy) which eat up your happiness. It is nothing but being good, right!!.

You can achieve anything only when you are happy...

Be a good person by being happy which in turn makes others happy...

This is what I have been praticing in my life...

Do good and be happy...It makes you perfect...

My life in Software Industry

I have very less experience in Software industry i.e. 20 months. Till now I am very happy in this. May be I havent faced the cons of the industry, great challenges yet and I dont know anything about other industries, I am still positive towards it.

The first thing most people look in their jobs is "Salary"--Money they are being paid and thats the best thing in this industry. Good numbers in the payslip every month keeps the smile. Hikes increase its curve.

Enjoyable weekend...Working people really deserve a 2 day weekend. It is common in other countries...but not in India. Five days of working week runs away very fast and two days of weekend gives an enough break to relax. Thats a good time to cover many things... spending with family/friends, shopping, sleep etc...Those two days keep up feeling that I have a good life.

I see a small India around in the office: People from different states, different cultures work together. It is somehow exiciting. I go for lunch with my friends. Each one is from different state. We have specific and at the same time general topics to chat.

Getting lot of information sitting in chair:
I have full internet access in office and any any silly doubt/topic I get I can get lots of information into my eyes. Not only information...lot of entertainment. I open news, social network sites, blogs, discussion forms. I listen to songs...having coffee...reading some exciting news. But remember it is possible when Iam in free pool or in project which needs less of my mind.

I didnt write about my work here...till now it is very easy.
I know I haven't savour right work yet...Hope I will get it soon and one day I will write unhappily nagging about the industry.

Rakhi review-Telugu movie

Rakhi- With a combition of energitic mass hero Jr.NTR and creative director Krishnavamsi...made people awaited with enthusiasm.

This movie is like filling a predefined template. The template is that a bad thing in society by some bad people--people suffering a lot on that--which irritates the hero in all possible ways--strats killing the people involved in that so that it frightens other people...By this time one can remember films like Bharateedu, Tagore, Apparichitudu, Ganesh etc. In this movie, the bad thing of that template is girls/ladies being suffered on various things like sexual harassments,eve teasing,Dowry cases etc. Hero to start murders, he should be having some flashback in which he goes to some depression which makes him to avenge on that. In this movie for a change, it does nt have a flashback, first half starts happily asusual and ends with hero in depression.

Jr.NTR has a sister(shows lot of love on her), father(Chandra mohan) and girl friend(Ileana). And Charmi is his sister-in-law. NTR and family plan for his sister's marriage with NRI with great difficulties as they have to give them huge dowry. Great difficulty involves NTR leaving ileana and accepting for marriage with Charmi as Charmi's mother gives money(saved for charmi's marriage) for his sister's dowry with a request that he has to marry her daughter. Within this, director shows some instances of girls/ladies suffering in various scenes. After his sister's marriage, they come to know that guy/family is not good and they are making the girl suffer. But still they send her to that family with a sentiment that she has to stay with in-laws (which is not practical/natural these days (though NTR doesnt want)). The in-laws of the girl wanted more dowry. NTR gets 5lakhs by selling his railway job to Sunil who is in bad need of that.Even after taking money, they burn his sister in keorsene. Now one can imagine the reaction of NTR. Out of great depression, he remains silent.

NTR family get bad outcome when they approach court. NTR starts killing the people who are torturing girls/ladies starting with his sister's inlaws. He completes more than 40 murders in 1 day all with petrol. Sushasini, the sincere police officer launched to catch NTR is very bigmouthed. People killed by NTR include minister's son.Minister abuses Sushasini and even kicks her because of his son's death. At that time Suhasini feels that what NTR doing is correct but tries to catch him. NTR after completing killing of his targeted prople, he himself admits to the police. During and due to the murders, NTR gets very much populated in the media especially girls/ladies come to jail to tie a Rakhi to him.Minister wants to take revenge on NTR and plans for a bomb blast at jail and in that Charmi and few girls die. NTR will be taken to minister's house by Sushasini and lets him kill the minister. Then the court scene in which hero justify the cause of killing people, talks about the girls/ladies being suffered and judge(Prakash Raj) gets convinced and decides to argue as a Lawyer behalf of him to rescue him from the punishment. And movie ends with NTR saying "Dont wait/expect for a brother like me.You should be couraguos enough handle the problems" to girls/ladies.

NTR's performance is good showing all his energy in the furious emotional scenes. One can imagine his kind of action with emotions. But his looks are not up to the mark. He has to work on that. Ileana has got a performance oriented role (for a change) as a Journalist, sacrificing her love and she fully proved herself. Her performance is good. Charmi, as a village girl is okay. Dubbed with her own voice doesnt suit much for the village slang. Music by Devi is just okay. "Zara zara" and "Rakhi rakhi" are the highlights.

Taking the movie on a whole it not a that creative output from Krishna Vamsi. But he handled the script well.The message it has given touches ladies well. And this is not a movie for NTR mass fans...This movie is worth watching once. We can feel the message given.
