GHS, story of a school which regains its glory. One of the best films I have seen in recent days. The last film which made me feel the same way was 3 Idiots. The common thing between these two films - Simplicity & Honesty. What makes a film work. For me, it should connect to you on some level. In a film like GHS, you should initially feel sorry for the state of school, then optimistic as things proceed & finally elated that the school has won. You do feel all these, thanks to an excellent cast & a honest story. Honest because kids do need to play, inkeppudu adatharu. Kids do need hope, that life's good, that its not just ranks, that career ante kevalam Engg or Medicine kadu. All these things connect with you.
Sankranthi ki, I was waiting for this movie to release here in Australia. When I couldn't find the movie here, was highly disappointed. Since many days, I have stopped reading reviews & am relying on my friends in Hyderabad for genuine feedback. One of my friends said "Nuvvu ikkada vundi vunte, kanisam 4 sarlu chuse vadivi, oka 40 mandiki cheppe vadivi". Obviously this statement increased my disappointment, as I had to wait until DVD is out. But for NRI's like me they put this film online for 2$ (very less I felt). So on a sunny afternoon, me & Pratima sat down and watched the film in one go.
Normal ga prathi Telugu cinema ki vankalu pette Pratima, was glued to seat & enjoyed the show immensely. "Aisi honi chahiye Telugu movies" were her exact words. Needless to say, I enjoyed the film to the core. At the end of the film, my admiration to Indraganti's work increased again (it does after every film, right from Grahanam) Tamil Vs Telugu ani discussion vaste, manaki antha pride lede ani chala badha ga vuntundhi. But I feel good to see film makers like Indraganti succeed. True to his literary heritage, his choice of stories is amazing. He adapted Chalam's Doshagunam for Grahanam, a Oscar Wilde play for Ashta Chemma & 'The Men Within' for this film. Hopefully at least a few people would turn to reading after watching his films. I hope he continues to adapt literary works into films. Kadhalu levu, levu ane vallaki ee cinema or Indraganti's films chupinchali. Telugu sahityam or world literature if adapted into films, kadhalu lekapovadam kadu, inni kadhallo ye kadha teeyallo telika kashta padtharu film makers. Will end this post by a line from Sri Sirivennela Sastry.
"Modalettaka munde mugise kadha kade mana ee payanam,
Samaraniki Sye ana galige samsiddhata pere vijayam"
Jaago people, for new cinema. Cheers.

Random Thoughts - 17/09/2010
Lot of introspection these days, as to how I became the person I am ... Dreamy, Careless, Uncertain at times ... Thoughts started at things that influenced me & then moved on to various other factors that contributed to these influences ... But when I started to think about my childhood, the pace at which my thoughts were racing slowed down & I became more calm and sure of my trigger points ... Thats when I realised all my characteristics that I am associated with, I picked up during my school days ... I havent changed much as a person since I left school, at the most may be enhanced a bit of my existing qualities (More of good ones & less of bad ones) ... But every attribute of mine can be traced back to my school days, this I am sure of ...

Crisis is something that should not be wasted ...
Everyone forgets that crisis is built into the system & that there is no growth without innovation & you have no innovation without a crisis.
Every major IT firm has started as a consulting company & went public when it has started to grow. Fine, but I realised there is no innovation in this. So what would be a innovative way of starting & leading a IT consultancy ....
I guess innovation should be clubbed with traditional way of IT practising. Its often misunderstood that innovation is completely different way of doing things. So things like advising businesses that they are free to make choices about the kind of service they want to take, but also advising repurcussions that may cause, bringing in transperancy into operations will be a start.
Lot of companies follow the principle that if in doubt, do nothing & to continue with the way things are being done. This comes from the fact that any considerable change leads to panic. These issues need to be considered.
The other best thing an IT consultancy can do for a company is Co-creation, that goes a step further by inviting enthusiastic customers to partner in the evolution. Its no doubt a longer process, but definitely a healthy one in both short-term & long-term. In addition to this, if we consider forecasting, the most optimistic & pessismstic views of future for the users, we can lead a project innovatively.
So increasing the ability of a company in being transperant, to point out existing glitches and to lead change without panic for a customer, encouraging co-creation & to take into account the most favourable & adverse situations that can occur is a innovation in itself.
These are my views about how a IT project or an IT consultancy has to be carried out as on 17/08/2010. Will come back to this post if I feel, I was an amateur in writing this stuff or if I feel I have a point. So I leave it to my existing & new projects to teach me ...
God Bless ...

Respect your choice, always …
Whenever there is a new movie, which by Indian standards is par beyond explanation, releases like Avatar or Inception, we see a lot of bloggers hitting back on desi film makers that so & so film maker can never make a film like that … It is probably true that Indian film makers have not created much, which was applauded world wide, but that I guess is a combination of many reasons … What we wish to make & what we can make are two entirely different things …
A lot of people/bloggers, start criticizing Indian movie makers immediately after watching Avatar or Inception … If I had a problem with certain movie person, I would stop watching his films, and for me he/she becomes non-existent … Why would I still go to a movie & criticize … A friend of mine recently saw Inception & his praise for Chris Nolan was more like criticizing Karan Johar, Farah Khan etc... It’s fine that you do not appreciate their work, but to say degrading things is more of a reflection of your own thought process …
This short post is my anguish against such reviewers … Internet allows freedom of expression & lets respect that …

Sirivennela Sitaramasastry ...
Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu, naa favourite kavi ..... Naa first feeling is ayana kavi, patala rachayta kadu .....
There will be only a few people whom you find awesome because of their work, attitude, phiosophy, lifestyle, behaviour ... Anni rakalu ga nannu prabhivitam chesina vyakthi Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu ...
As a film buff, I watch all movies, pretty much .. For some movies you feel good, some movies make you think, some movies you just get amused, entertained ... But in all of his songs in various movies, he imparts a knowledge or you feel great for his poetic representation of certain feel ... Intha mandi patalu rase lyricists vundaga, idhi ayanake ela sadhyam ayyindi ... Telugu lo oka lyricist ki fans kachitam ga Sitaramasastry garike ekkuva, atleast ee generation ki ... when I think why, I guess there are many reasons ... chala mandi ki ages nunchi vastuna sampradayalni nachina, nachaka poyina question chese dhairyam vundadu. Sastry garu, I think, was the first one to do that through his songs. To think from the grassroots level on all issues and to question preconceived thoughts and opinions that are blindly followed for ages is one of the most attractive features in his writing.
ayana rase padalu, do serve the purpose of the actual song, but I guess going that mile extra takes the song to enitrely different level ... If you recollect lyrically great songs in last 15-20 years, I am sure most of them will be by Sastry garu ...
I dont think different different emotions ni ayana antha baga varinchina vallu evaraina vunnaru ani ...
Revolution - "Chikkaga chikate kamindani, lokam velli suryunni ra ramani pilavala"
Arrogance - "Sahasam naa padham ... Rajasam naa radham ... sagithe apadam sadhyama ...."
Consiousness - "galivatu gamananiki kali bata deniki, gurre chatu mandaki, nee gyana bodha deniki "
Philosophy - "Prapancham neelo vunadani cheppe daka a nijam telusukova"
Lullaby - "kunuka raka butta bomma gubulugundani, vanamu lechi vaddakochi nidra puchanni"
Devotion - Tika maka song from Srianjineyam, "Sriramachandruni kovello kaidu chesi, rakasi ravannuni gundello koluvu chesi" ... "aa ramagadha nuvvu rasukunnade kada, tagu dari nedu chupananda" ...
First love - "Merupu ni tolichinukuni kalagalipi chudalani, evariki anipinchina chudachu naa cheliya ni"
"kalanu vadili lellanu ani kamina merupu edho, cheppava kanu replake basha osthe"
Anni patalu vini, vati tarkanni ardham chesukune praytnam taravata, famous director Krishnavamsi oka interview lo cheppinattu "Oka rushi, shapa vashattu manashula madhya tirugutunara" ani anipistundi ...
Naaku nachina two lines tho I will end the post ...
"dari dhati orakalu vese ye nadhi kaina telisinda, tanalo ee oravadi penchina toli chinuku edhi ante"
"kontha kalam nela kocham athidi layi vundi vellaka, kotalaina kompalaina evi sthirasthi kadu ga"
Happy Birthday Sitaramasastry Garu .. May God bless you with many more lines ..

YSR ....... May his soul rest in peace .......
Andhra lost a leader .... Leader in true sense ..... Congress ki purva vaibhavanni techina leader .... Have to see what future holds for state .....
Life can be so unpredictable, but we still plan for years to come ...... Whatever you want to do in future, do a small part of it today ........ idanta taluchukunte, oka cinema dialogue gurthuvachindi ......
Aaj ek hasi aur baant loon .....
Aaj ek dua aur maang loon ......
Aaj ek zindagi aur jee loon ..... Kya patha Kal ho na ho ......
Disaster jariginanduku every Andhrite badha paduthunte, maa colleague "Nuvvu TDP abhimanivi kada, how do you feel " ani adigadu ..... akkada TDP, Congress enduku vachindo ...... athani meeda vunna abhiprayam poorthi ga poyindi ...... okka mata entha difference testundo ee incident valla telsindi, I will be careful with my words after this experience .........
Life is going on smoothly ..... Living alone kabatti, there is a lot of time to read ..... Currently reading Vamsi's "Maa Pasalapudi Kadhalu" ....... Whenever I read a story from the book, I feel myself being in ramachandrapuram for a moment (Its my birth place, turpu godavari jilla) ..... chala pleasant ga, haayi ga vuntundi ...... its acting like a stress buster after a busy day of work .... I wonder if its the same feel for all the readers ..... I think so, because the book sold more than 5000 copies .......... Internet age lo its definitely a huge success ..........
Congrats to Prakash Raj for National award ..... Deserving actor ...... Kanjivaram cinema chudaledu kani, I watched "Iddaru" recently ........ Nijamga MGR, Karunanidhi ilane vundevaremo annantha ga chesaru lead actors iddaru ...... I dont know much about Tamilnadu politics kani, character matrame kanapadindi ani naa udhesam ..... Another mention is the small bit Prakash Raj played in recently released Josh ....... Just by acting, oka sadness ni create cheyadam was amazing .......
Thats it for now ..... Bye folks .... Keep having fun ......
