Gandhiji once told me that "Change is the only thing in this universe that doesn't change". Hence i followed his words and changed the old template of my blog. And Here its the Frankly Speaking With Vinod- version 3.0 alpha
Why new template?? Something new always gives novelty and freshness to the ideas. I like to be a Deer in the forest and let this enthusiasm bring new dimension to my life.

A R Rahman-Journey of a lifetime
Wishing A R Rahman, a happy bday and keep mesmerizing us wit his music. Me and My fellow Rahmaniac Vaidyanath have come up wit a poem(in a mix of tamil,english,hindi) on Rahman for his bday. We have used just some movies that rahman sir had composed music .
once Kizhakku Cheemayile, Roja came
and u were a Pudhiya Mugam of music.
Jodi,Iruvar,Duet was a new Sangamam,
Patriotism rose with Vande Mataram,
and left us Between Earth and Heaven.
Bombay Dreams of Dilli and TajMahal,
Rangeela made a soft humble Ratchagan.
Rhythm,Fire,Water Blue
Azhagiya Tamil Magan make audience glue.
While Yuva danced to Taal and Sakkarakati,
your music melted people even in patti thotti.
En Swasakaatre, engalai Kangalal Kaithuseithai.
Sillunu oru Kaadhal in a hot May Maadham,
Kandukondaen Kandukondaen kaettalae paravasam.
When Padayappa was Mr.Romeo,
he was Pavithra's Gentleman,
and became her kaadhalan.
They became Love Birds on Kaadhalar Dhinam,
and said to each other,"Anbe Aaruyire" ,
Dil se story went on to be an Alaipayuthe.
Let Almighty Khawaja mere Khawaja bless,
u'll continue to be The Lord of the Rings.
Ada to Zubeida, Boys to Baba,
say Rahman Tujhe Salaam.
GodFather, we Love you Hamesha.
PS: sentence and writings need not be logically correct.. Excuse me if ur a literary critic. This is chumma for my satisfaction.

Cause and Effect of Andhra Mess
Once when i was brunching at an Andhra Mess, i wondered why all these eatouts are named Mess. That too after some state region names like Chettinaad Mess, Andhra Mess. Now i find it very relevant, given that Andhra is in a Mess. The owner had foreseen this situation and named his eat-out as an indication to outside world. The argument draws an analogy wit some Nostradamus' predictions, as something happens and people relate it to some archaic text of Nostradamus. 9/11 happens and afterward people say Nostradamus had predicted this.Coming back to our Telegana-Andhra problem. Where did it all start?? Why small States??
It all started with Lalit Modi, IPL Chairman who made use of the shorter version of cricket, T20 to good extent to boost his Cricket Admin Career. It was a marriage of cricket wit Entertainment , as always marriage appears successful in the initial few years. Next comes in to-todo-do-to-todo-do-Docomo-Docomomo. Tata Docomo entered the mobile operator market wit a catchy tune and more importantly attractive ads. Their message of "Life can change in secs" reached far and wide. Hence per min rates became to small version of secs. Again small is doin the trick.
Next,come in the film heroines of current age. They believe that their span in the industry is inversely proportional to their costumes. They believe they are child at heart and wear childhood dresses,saving producer's money. Small dresses are successful. Finally, the India's best selling author, Chetan Bhagat had come up with his new book, 2 states. Now if at all new states are formed , he can claim royalty from the politicians for publicizing explicitly their cause.
Given all these factors, no wonder KCR decided to give a new dimension using all his external disturbances caused by Modi, Docomo,heroines(:P) and Chetan. Moreover presence of more states could enable the politicians resurrect their sagging careers and buy one IPL team each. They can say they have brought development in the state after having a team :P

Instant Fame
5 months into Corporate Life, you feel that u've learnt a lot than your 12+4 years of education. you also get a feeling that you kinda do same monotonous work again and again. There are people who are content with the kinda work they do. Others look into different options to make money. For others who wanna succeed in life,what happens next???
Slowly Disappointment creeps in, develops into frustration,desperation, leads to depression. Whole life looks as if its in a chaos,sometimes u say to yourself,"I am a total failure, i've not done anything in life :( " . It is always in your hands to save your life, or to ruin it.But one does consider himself unlucky only in these testing times of your life ,"Why me GOD". No one realises they are lucky after they are provided wit an opportunity.
Once critical observation, i'd come across in my chitchat wit so many of my friends is that , Everyone has a dream of being successful,want themselves to earn a lotta money. But there is a belief that fame and success to be instant. Everyone reads stories about steve jobs , warren buffet, Narayana murthy and watch movies like Guru,Pursuit of Happiness. Every who writes or blogs cannot be a best seller like Chetan Bhagat. Belief that one single idea or spark in your brain can't make you attain success.
I feel like asking them one question. Having watched The Pursuit of Happiness movie, How Chris Gardner focussed, dedicated, goal oriented, hardworking was. Despite all odds in his failure, his postive attitude and optimistic approach had made him successful. Steve Jobs, the CEO of the century , wit so much fame now, was even thrown outta his own company. He'd almost met death due to his cancer. But still every product from apple.inc stuns the world. Fellow mates seem to miss the key factor of hard work in achieving fame. When you believe,after giving 100%,u have met failure, then give 200% percent next time. Understanding success is significant. Fame is just a byproduct of success, with hardwork in input.
No more seromonising, Dont think of fame now, put in 200% efforts in achieving ur goal, may be u'll achieve it in 5 months or even 20 years. That doesnt mean u have failed. Failure is just an experience, use in future problems. Till then, believe in ur work, believe in yourself. Stay hungry,stay foolish. Hope :)
PS:
Few speeches that inspired me,
Steve Job's Stan speech, Chetan Bhagat's Symbiosis speech
