Apacalypto

I'm against comparing a movie with history/reality otherwise you can't enjoy it. With this in mind, I'm sharing my thought on the movie 'Apacalypto', directed by Mel Gibson.

I see it as another movie of 'The Survival of Fittest' scripted to be happening during the civilization. Mel Gibson has proved to the world that he can make the people watch and understand a movie with knowing the language.

Until the last 30 mins, the movie was moving comparatively slow. Once the chase between the Zero Wolf & Co and Jaguar Paw started, the script moves to the top gear and then it is all about the fittest survives.

The movie takes us to the stone age. The technical aspect of the movie including music, cinematography, costumes, sets etc scores good. Definitely an over dose on vulgarity; the cut head, show the human heart...

A must watch movie for Adults.

Motivation

Human race might not have been survived without being motivated. It actually started from when Eve motivated Adam to eat the 'Apple' and made us to get civilized and grow from age to age.

One of the characteristics of a great leader is to be a good motivator. To motivate others, one has to gain their respect. Being a boss, one can't be relaxed as their actions are directly linked to results. To be a good motivator, one has to

1) be good at Self-motivation.

2) forget that they are a Boss.

3) treat employees with respect.

4) control over the emotions & speak.

5) find a right approach while on crisis.

Still support Reservation System?

I was disturbed by the recent week long violence in Rajasthan. All that was just to include their community in a different caste group just to gain from the current reservation policies on education institutions.

The government tried to be hard initially and has left with no option later as the violence grows big.

The worst part of it was that, after being at the back of all these, the group apologised in public for the violence after reaching a consensus with the government.

Will it erase all the scars it created?

Monopoly in the Metro.

After spending more than 22 years in and around Coimbatore, I have moved to Chennai just for better career opportunities. It is been four years now. Due to the impact of my childhood, my mind used to compare thing in Chennai with that of in Coimbatore. Except entertainment Coimbatore has an edge almost everything like food, climate, neighbourhood, etc.,

Those who have experienced the quality of public transport in Coimbatore (CBE) district will appreciate that as it is far better than the one in Chennai (CHN).

Private players play a major role in providing a better and highly competitive services to win the market and also the hearts of the public. The good thing is that these services are at no extra cost. So, it is Win-Win for all (Government, Public and Service Providers).

Ironically in Chennai, all the public transport (Bus) services are done by the Government. Not just the new comers, even those who are here for a long time feel it different to understand the meaning of Board Colors, M series, etc. Highly quality buses are also available but at a higher cost.

So, it is good to have a private player in the competition but still under government's umbrella.

In Search of Synergy!

Today morning, I saw an youngster carrying a crashed water bottle in search of a dust bin. Though, he didn't find one nearby, he carried along without any frustration. Few of my friends do follow this habit and we encourage others to do so.

Even before the law for compulsory helmet for two wheeler was implemented, most of the youngsters in the city made it a habit to wear it. They knew the value of their life and the importance of producting it.

They don't believe in bank balances. They invest on shares & mutual funds to grow not just their wealth but also the countries infrastructure.

Today's youngsters posses a great vision and wider knowledge on what is the need-of-the-hour for the country. Might act as individual groups. We should bring them all together to have a synergy.
