Reviews

Are you sick and tried of people who compare the skills of talented people in arts, science, technology, sports etc of different generations.It is like comparing apples and oranges. if you read the comparison it is always biased and the winner will be of current generation if the reviewer is much younger and vice verse if the reviewer is older.In my mind i think it is totally unfair to compare anybody irrespective of field and generation.unless the people you are comparing are contemporary people and playing field for both of them is exactly the same.

when people compare Sachin Tendular to Don Bradman, i think of that reviewer to be nuts. Because it is impossible to come to concrete conclusion who is the better player. And when you look at the Sachin with his  contemporary  players.some people still have doubts about he being greatest versus others. if that is the case how can you compare somebody from totally different generation. There will always be so many parameters and attributes which would contribute in favor of these players for that particular generation. So there fore it is  impossible to compare anybody of any skill. Unfortunately people still compare and always come out with a biased conclusions.

Talking about movies, there are different actors and actress of different generation who have acted in  different stories and under different conditions and people. But people still compare here too. it is literally comparing Apples to wood or glass.
when people compare SRK with Amitabh. i do not see any logic. both of them are from different generation and younger generation no matter what like SRK and older people relate the same to Amitabh. And things gets interesting when SRK does the copy of the same movie of Amitabh with better visual and sound effect. which make the reviewer to be biased because he is morphed with the other parameters and attributes. which never existed during Amitabh days.

Same things do emerge when we compare scientists, politicians , artists etc. so it is good not to compare thing which do not have same level playing fields. Other wise you will get a biased opinion.

I see all these comparing people is more to increase the commercial values of a particular person and for marketing purpose. If you release a article about Sachin tendular that he is the greatest cricketer ever just before the Australian series. marketing people think that they could get more commercial and thus more viewership. And same is true when SRK is declared as the best actor ever when his new movie Don 2 gets released across the world.

Bottom line is these reviews are not well thought and it is always biased and intended for commerical purpose. So therefore one should always keep in mind when quoting these reviews as reference points for any kind of conclusion.

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
