Oppenheimer - The Movie review.

- July 22, 2023

Oppenheimer.(The movie) Watched on July 21st,2023at Prasadz IMAX, Hyderabad Cinemas in India are hugely for entertainment and many times the important human moments are traded for crowning glory moments. But for many storytellers cinemas present an excellent opportunity to narrate a perspective that makes us read about history, invest emotionally into the characters that we are transported to that world effortlessly. It takes immense amount of self confidence and meticulous planning to show that world which we do not perceive. That's where Christopher Nolan bhaiyya enters making the quietest moments the loudest ones. He has successfully made a generation read before going to watch his movies and also re-watch it to understand it better He has made some of my favorite films and also the movies I did not want to watch one bit like Tenet. Oppenheimer - This movie is about the most significant invention which changed the course of future wars, meant to stop the great war and put U

I'm back !!

- September 09, 2012

Ahh! The world of bloggers! After a gap of nearly 2 years and 6+ kgs , I'm back!!! Heavier, stronger and kind of wiser to enter the world of blogging again ;) The internet has drastically improved the speeds of communication , information passing , entertainment etc but at the same time it has faded away a few of the basic things we all did well in our 90's and 2000's! Handwriting ( I was so proud of my calligraphic skills where my strokes in cursive writing would be so smooth that those 'curves' would make any Hollywood actress jealous :D ) Now all I can do is choose fonts ( my handwriting variation) to watermark my pictures or write emails or documents which are read by humans and bots. Out of the other things that has advanced to advanced stages of extinction is our attention span! I don't think anyone is willing to read beyond a smart punchline or not more than 140 characters thanks to Twitter ( A person with over 8K tweets and a winner of atlea

- December 30, 2010

So What's happening guys ? I'm still staying alive in the world of blogging with this post(My only post of 2010!!) :D 2010 was rough isn't it?( Earthquakes, floods, violence, Economy) - Still waiting for some things to happen fast for me( or rather have to make it happen!) Almost dying to go to India to visit family and friends. It's been a while and I almost have been dreaming about Hyderabad for the last 6 months. So here are some highlights of 2010. Its been an amazing year for me as a Photographer. Great works concluding as a researcher ( soon..soon to be told..) Learnt a lot of things by experimenting and travelling to many places. Thanks to the wonderful friends( whose phone calls I don't pick up, but still give them the best profile pictures :] ) with whom some great road trips have happened!!

Dear all, (sounds like a E-mail ?? ) This is a reminder that Arvind still blogs and is wide awake in the blogging world ;-) Apart from writing articles, clicking Million Photographs I was leading a group of very motivated individuals in organizing a wonderful event for the Indian Student's Association at ASU which happened this Sep 19th '2009 . It was called Jhankaar - A welcoming party to the new Students who had arrived here @ASU that year. There were lot of thoughts, creative ideas thrown in the air and it needed some meticulous planning, infinitely long email threads and innumerable number of phone calls to make up for a wonderful time 3+ hours and a lifetime of memories. Its attracted over 500 people for the past 3 year and in short says what College Entertainment is all about !! Its been the 2nd time I've danced (yes yes..in one of the most popular dances of the evening where I am the lone guy and surrounded by 6-8 girls ranging from Radha kaise na jale

Randomness ' 08 !

- January 03, 2008

At last I decided to break the jinx and thanks to some randomness and some useful late night conversations that I decided to post this work. This is also a special occasion as it’s a start of a New Year which is always filled with dreams and hopes for making things better. I would like to say a special thanks to Munmun for the needed motivation :-) So here is the idea, someone gives you 5 random words and you make a story out of it. It can be in any order and verb forms can also be considered in place of the word itself. My 5 words were: Admire, Loathe, Road, Search, Girlfriend The writing: ( You can post your compliments in the comments and e-mail your critiques :D ) As children we always admire the stars who win public’s heart with display of their special skills.
