Extempo Topics

We have a lecture called Language Skills to improve our command over English language and improve our vocabulary. Some topics were given, and discuss and it is absolutely amazing how each person perception is distinct and unique from each other. Some topics were as follows:

• On the hot seat with BIG B
• When America sneezes India catches a cold
• Water burns more than fire
• Samosa V/S Pizza
• Bloated Babudom
• Euthanasia should be legalized
• Cloning - Are we encroaching on God's territory?
• Foreign television channels corrupt the Indian youths
• Reality shows - As unreal as white crows
• Women make better managers than others.

The most most interesting topic riveting and intriguing topic is "When America sneezes India catches a cold" which is obviously related to the Sub Prime Crisis. It started with the Lehman Brothers, with 22 banks in America going bankrupt. This slowed economic growth in the U.S and ultimately affecting the imports of U.S. and as all know India's main export partners are UK and U.S which in turn affected the Indian imports. Long story short, the Indian economy is not immune from development/recession in the global economies.

Second one which I would really like to discuss is about Euthanasia, which means mercy killing. Should it be legalized? According to me Yes, it should be. It is better to die once, than dying everyday. Imagine a person lying on bed for 36 years paralyzed and considered "brain-dead" in a hospital alone, yes I'm talking about the woman, Aruna Shanbhag. Most people say it should be up to the suffered person and he/she should decide whether to end their life, but what if the person is in coma or paralyzed and not able to communicate? If it to be legalized the laws have to be very stringent or people can take undue advantage to this.

Next topic will be discussed in next post, anyone wants to share their opinion can surely do so.

TANGLED up in TANGLED

I went for the movie tangled today. Yet another twisted classic bedtime stories and Disney has beautifully pulled it off again, first with movie Princess and the Frog, and now with Tangled!

The whole movie is paisa vasool, the animation, the story, the score, the romance, all the characters (especially Princess Rapunzel's pet chameleon, Pascal and the horse). Those who love to watch animation movies will surely like this movie. Even IMDB has rated it 8.1/10! Here the trailer enjoy!

Happy Republic Day

The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree -Thomas Campbell

Today is Republic Day - 26th of January. This is a remarkable day in Indian history when Constitution of India came into force replacing the Government of India Act 1935. This was possible only to our brave soldiers, to our Amar Jawans.



It's a holiday, I have been getting Republic Day messages, society's are celebrating( I can still hear songs played in the background) flag hoisting, various programes, singing songs of patriotism (Famous Lata Mangeshkar song - Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon) I have been listening to this since morning even on all railway stations! Malls are celebrating Republic Day by decorating Saffron, Green and White balloons all over the place, flat 40% is off today in Globus and even in Max! I went for a movie today, and as you know before the beginning of the movie our National Anthem is played. This time it was different, they have uploaded a video of children who were vocally challenged and they sang the National Anthem in their sign language, it was amazing, the video really touched my heart.

Freedom in Mind
Faith in Words
Pride in our Heart
Memories in our Souls
Lets Salute the Nation on REPUBLIC DAY



TO ALL INDIANS HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!

First Impression is not the Last impression

Your impression means your overall personality which includes your dressing sense, communication, your behavior, your attitude. Many of you must have heard this saying First Impression is the Last impression, or "Lasting Impression". But according to me it's not always applicable to all situations. It really depends on various situations, circumstances and chance.

Situations as in people change, times change and trends change, according to that your individual behavior changes. For instance you met a person, his/her first impression was quite good, really you could have a nice chat with that person. But as you know the person spend time with them you really come to know the little annoying things, habits and flaws of the person that you can absolutely not live it.

Circumstances as in for example you go for an interview, well interviews are exception for this Your First Impression is your Last Impression, right from the moment you enter into the room, within a 10th of second you are judged and a certain impression is created in the minds of the interviewee by the way you walk, your body language, your attire.

By chance I meant that, If a person is unknown to you is meeting you (whether planned or unplanned) for only once in a lifetime. You certainly have to make a impression on that person. Fail to do so your First impression will be the Lasting impression forever.

You can always change your impression by bringing a positive change in your self, if you have committed a mistake, correct it. As people get to know you their impression about yourself keeps on changing as they closely observed how we behave in certain situations. So don't worry if your First Impression is not that good among your colleagues, friends, mentors, you can always change it.
