Would Moneyball win Oscar this year?

Trailer:

I’m just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out, it’s bringing me down
I know I’ve got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show

– The last lines of the movie

Brief Review:

7.7 rated on IMDB, 94% fresh (Rotten Tomatoes) with 1,251,544 viewers of just the trailer on Youtube, featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival Moneyball  a biographical sports drama film is an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team’s 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane‘s (the guy who rejected 12.5M offer)  under whose able guidance A’s Team won 20 consecutive games, an American League record.

This film having Brad Pitt as Beane shows how for the first time in history of Baseball player selection and rejection was done on the basis of mathematics and a scientific approach. It also show how this overcomes the struggle of defeating rich clubs/teams which could buy any player so easily. The good thing about the movie it has perfect balance of baseball and other story for non base lovers to like the movie equally.

The movie is inspirational and positive and worth watching for people who dare to dream. Its not just about winning sometimes but enjoying the every moment of the process.

Child Sexual Abuse : Spread the WORD!!!

The Chaotic Soul

Saw this video today on Child Sexual Abuse… this short film was scary and made me cry. The film was directed and put through very well but the theme and the story line was nerve touching. Child Sexual Abuse is no big thing today, everyone is aware of it, but are we doing anything to prevent it? When I say WE I refer to the whole of India… what are we doing in order to avoid or stop Child Sexual Abuse…?

 

It can happen to anyone around us or in our house. Sexual pleasures are difficult to handle by many and when this is the case, it leads to Child Sexual Abuse. People have this myth that saying aloud that you have been raped or someone attempted to rape you is a BLUNDER. It’s not. But not saying it and living with it for the entire life looking at…

Delhi Cyclist–Site Upgrade Proposal

 

 

I have been riding from my childhood.. long rides, short rides, emergency rides, pocket saving rides, competitive rides but you know the best rides have been the recent ones which I did recently with DC. And after having here and there conversations with different DC’s I really feel that being a part of DC is being an honor for all of us. DC’s events have started becoming a culture and color celebration of liFE and sports and adventures and at times also a thing to be envy for, for those who are not members of DC ;p

Lets congratulate and thanks Anuj, Gaurav, Manoj and Raman, the ADMINS for bringing such a nice thing in our life and thanks to all Zehra – tHe eye of DC for clicking n fotoshoping her logo on moments she clicked with her gadgets gave a us visuals to all of us to share with our friends and families and yes thanks to all for being active funny crazy idiotic committed members of DC.

Its time now to reach some new milestones.. . Its time to upgrade our selves on technology n class.. . My focus is on our static website delhicyclists.com

I propose to install WP/Drupal framework on this website and develop an FB App for Facebook and a web robot to sync DC activities on Fb, Google, Twitter.

The Design:

demo.freshface.net/file/rw/wp/

This design has won the best design of era awards recently. I can make sure that Zehra gets a nice GUI to upload her clicks in here and to make them glow in my headache but then Zehra has to promise to use DC logo than her when to the website.. sorry Smile with tongue out

The Features:

All the admins, or the writers elected by the admins shall have official mail ids/login ids on the website and they would have option to write an article on recent ride. (The interface would be similar to what you get on wordpress.. You can use windows live writer or any of your favorite blog writer for updating)

All the members of DC shall get a mail, SMS and a fb msg about every event DC organizes. also the real time changes if any. Also, admins would have to write only at one place, it’s the robot which shall sync Twitter, Fb, Website and the members of DC.

The site shall allow have a forum for discussions.

Everything would be in archives. Thus, like if you want to get your pic of your X trail ride which happened nine backs you would be easily able to catch up.

You would have fb share button on all photos and articles of DC

There would be a complete directory of all the bikes and accessories available in NCR explaining features, assembling tips, user reviews and plus forum for discussion and doubts

There would be how to sections about how to ride, become a pro, diets etc thing etc etc

These are all basics, love to suggest your idea as a comment here on fb

 

That’s it!

 

So what say? Is it time to upgrade ?

Life is what but chaos!!

So is it really like you are always confused about what to wear, what to eat, where subjects to take, what carrier to make.. . Ha ha don’t worry.. . Everybody is .. .

The funda is simple.. . You really don’t need to think that much.. . yah! that’s it.. .

If you really want to enjoy your life, you have to let yourself do what you like the most.. . For example, if you like writing, don’t bother about what people say.. . don’t bother if you can make career out it.. . you know you start adding necessities and responsibilities to your hobby they become less interesting you being less creative.. .  You know I like writing.. .  I write the whole crap out of me.. . I don’t really care if you read.. . I even don’t care how good do I write.. . I write because I like writing.. . I want to write that’s it! If a career has to become out of my hobby, it would automatically.. . All I need to do is just keep writing whenever I feel like.. . seriously

Just image had Sachin being into these thinking crap like “How good I am gonna be as a cricketer? How much I am gonna earn? Till when would I be able to play etc etc seriously do you think he would have been anything? You know he was an idiot. He felt like playing, he kept playing.. . he felt like playing more like for hours and hours he kept doing it.. . And we all know where this idiot is today.. . Even today if you ask him, Sachin bawa when you wanna get retired, he says like idk may be till I feel like playing and my body supports.. . So plan you see.. . All just idiotic feelings.. .

Ok leave Sachin.. . Lets talk about Einstein Uncle.. . Bad in history but I think he was deaf from one year.. . Discarded and said as mental by all.. . He tried making the bulb and failed and failed.. . His life was all failure.. . So you know he never ever worried.. . Because he had nothing to fear about.. . He was living a hell life.. . He studied a lot of books because it interested him not because he wanted to invent a bulb.. . He tried electricity because he use to wonder what would happened when I do this shit.. . And he ended with invention of bulb.. . So you see, no one ever thought what they want to do, they did what they felt like and things happened what had to happen.. .

You don’t feel like going to BPO right? Then you don’t need to go.. . You don’t need to worry.. . All you need to do is what you feel like doing.. . And if in the morning you feel like doing writing but in the evening you feel like doing Art or singing its okie.. Lets things get going.. . You know soulds are very complex.. . Its really hard to understand them.. . Let them do what they want to do.. . They would conclude over some specifics someday.. . So you really don’t need to be wondering or in short being in Chaos!!

p,s,: you soul is nice, intelligent and innovative, all it needs is opportunities and failure before they can end up with something nice Winking smile

India can be great country but then whos gonna make it?

Kiran Bedi can change the world but she is not doing that.. .

I wish to change the world but then I got no listeners no followers no courage no experience.. .

p,s,: future is dark.. . It always was.. . Shall it remain Sad smile

 

The perception of Perfect India

1. Protect Life: There should be free food and shelter (like langar) so that atleast no body has to die starving. Food may taste bad but healthy.

2. Qualitize Life: Basic education should be enforced like compulsion. (People standards has to be increased)

3. Shield the weak: It would be great if there is free public transport for Old and children.

4. Engineer the earth: Architect cities, that there are no traffic jams.

5. Facilitate Sufficient: Their should not be long que for buying tickets / bill payments in places such as Railway Station ever. Their should be enough general bogies, so that poor people can also travel comfortably if not lavishly.

6. Commit for Life: No train should be late ever. Each bus should take every passenger from every stop.

7. Differentiate People: Whom to give preference Rich OBC or Poor Pandit?

The perception of Perfect Government

A perfect government is one which make perfect laws and its possible only when a government is a mixture of all this:

Engineers, MBAs, Doctors, Lawyers, Sportsmen, Writers, Philosophers, Socialist, Leaders etc

But one who get in should actually have done extra ordinary things in their life without the government or daddy support. Afcourse with mix of old and youth but extra ordinary ones only.

Selection of every member into formation of a government party should be no less than entrance exam of Harvard Business School.

 

If all this happens, people like Anna Hazzare etc would not have to go on starvations etc .. .

p,s,: The iron is hot, you want to change the world do it now.. . Stop focusing on just Lokpal.. . Start focusing on the ultimate goal, the perfect India of your dreams, my dreams and a comman mans dream.
