300 - Prepare for glory!

Had seen the poster of 300 than a month back and decided that it would be a good movie to watch then. It completely slipped my mind until my pals in the area suggested going for it.

Based on Frank Millers Comic, 300 tells the story of King Leonidas leading 300 Spartans against the mighty Persian army numbering well over 100,000 led by the tyrant Xerxes.

If you went expecting an epic, or if you went expecting a movie with a thrilling storyline then you would come away disappointed.

But, if you went expecting pure gore, tales of valor and sacrifice then 300 will not disappoint you at all.

The entire movie was shot in just 60 days, but the editing took over a year and it clearly shows. The graphics in the movie are spectacular and the slow motion scenes really take the cake.

This is one movie you have to watch on the full screen with surround sound.

N'joy the movie..

The Google Master Plan

I’ve come across this interesting movie clip called The Google Master Plan in Youtube quite some time ago. It’s a movie directed and produced by Ozan Halici & Jürgen Mayer for their Bachelors’s Thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, Germany.

The movie basically talks about how Google can use their free services like Google Search and Gmail with their gigantic database for some known, and possibly unknown, purposes. Well, it talks about our privacy as users of Google free services as well. Needless to say, it got me ponder how powerful Google is nowadays.

I’m sure you don’t want to miss this awesome video clip :-


Check out their The Google Master Plan website. There are some different video formats of the movie ready for download too.

Poetic Resignation


The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand; what is my way?
I don't know if I should stay.


To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I don't know if I should stay.


The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I don't know if I should stay.


The money is good, the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, or wait for pay
I don't know if I should stay!


The managers don't know what they talk
The team doesn't know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I don't know if I should stay.


I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I can't keep switching day by day
I don't know if I should stay.


The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
No more will I walk their way,
It's all done, I won't stay.


Thanks & Regards
