Cellphone Boon or Bane??

When it comes for misuse of Cellphone India will Top the charts!! I have no doubts in that. Here people use it to take pictures of others without their permission. Videos are taken and spread via websites. In the Western countries the Cellphones are used sparingly, you'll never see some one yelling over the phone in a public place, you will never come across some one wedded to his earphones while driving his bike.

The cellphones have taken toll on the phone ethics too! Earlier people used to greet while picking up the call, convey the purpose of call and disconnect the call. Since the call rates too low people have started spending more time over the phone than necessary! When introduced the cellphones were considered as a boon, due to the extensive usage it has turned out to be a bane!

If a person is angry about someone he immediately calls up and starts a heated argument over the phone, it worsens the situation. Whereas if this technology was not available he might not be in the state of mind if he meets in person.

Cellphones were killing people indirectly, you would have heard of a person getting killed cause of using cellphone while driving, while crossing the road etc etc... There were also instances where people committed suicide since their video was published in websites

Of late Cell phones have started killing people directly we are often hearing cell phone explosions and people getting killed.

How do we stay safe?

Go for Branded mobiles

Do not speak while charging

If you are replacing the charger or a battery, go only for branded spares

On top of all, avoid extensive usage!

I wish the newspapers do provide the details exploded mobile like model and brand, it will make both the consumers and the concerned brand more cautious and will help to avoid such accidents!

Endhiran

If you are an A R Rahman Fan or Rajni's fan you would have already heard the songs of the movie Endhiran. Nope, I am not going to rate the Endhiran songs but this is about the Audio release function.

For any movie first important day would be the first day of the shooting, a pooja will be conducted and a VIP would clap and initiate the shooting. Then the routine works like song recordings, shooting, dubbing etc will begin. Once the song recordings are completed the audio companies (sony, rpg...) would release the audio on a particular day and only after that the cassettes or CDs will be available for sale.

To create a hype for the movie the audio companies would arrange a star visit to a famous audio store of the region and first few cassettes CDs would have their autograph. Then comes the movie release and if the movie successfully runs for 100 days and above functions will be organised to recognize the technicians involved and to create more publicity. Of late the Audio release functions have gained importance and are being celebrated grandly.

Sun Pictures have gone one step above others and held the Endhiran audio release function in Malaysia. There was a huge star cast present at the function and there were performances by the stars. Endhiran is already said to be the most expensive movie ever produced in Indian Cinema History. Already there was an unconfirmed news that the crew bought two new expensive cars and demolished them for the shoot! I believe the crew is planning to set a new world record in terms of expenses.

Shankar already has a record in making films a costly affair. The best examples are the songs of the film sivaji (The Boss). He keeps breaking his own records in his successive films! The dressing sense of the stars has become very bad that i was unable to watch the Audio release function with my family and ended up swapping the channel!

Just consider the air fares they would have spent for the event and other expenses of the event, one could complete a movie with the amount spent!

Aston Martin Cars in India!!

Who said India has market place only for low and medium budget cars!! Aston Martin has tied up with Infinity Cars Pvt Ltd - Mumbai, to sell its cars in India. Infinity Cars is currently dealing with BMW cars.

The various models of Aston Martin cars will be available in price ranging between 1.35 to 2.85 crores (ex showroom price). The booking is expected to start in the second week of August. In the beginning 4 models - V8 Vantage, DB9, Rapide and DBS will be available.

Gone are the days when luxury car manufacturers from other countries were hesitant of entering into Indian market. The sales of luxury cars like Benz, BMW has encouraged others to enter into Indian Market. Indian car market is wide that it can accommodate low budget cars like Nano and also luxury cars like BMW, Aston Martin etc...

The market is wide but please don't ask me about the roads! The National highways are best suited for driving but not the traffic clogged roads in the cities and especially Mumbai - where the dealer is located!

Tussle between Amir & SRK

Though there are lot of reasons for a common man to worry about, media has given them one more reason - ongoing tussle between Amir khan and Shah Rukh Khan! The dates of Common Wealth Games are approaching fast and its quite clear that we are not ready yet but Media is worried more about the Stardom.

By the kind of movies that Amir does one can easily say that he is very matured, when we hear his statements about his counterparts we seriously wonder why he had done so. Could it be another publicity stunt.

The reach of the Media is very great now and they have gone to beyond of just Telecasting what had happened, now they make News. Best Example is Tehelka, they went well ahead in Investigative journalism and brought many corruptions into limelight. This is the high time for the Media to undergo change, else they may have to answer the question from the audience "Muje kya farukh padtha?" (why should I be bothered about that?)

Conducting the common wealth games in our country will be a pride for us, but owing to poor preparations if we fail it will turn out to be the biggest defame! I wish the Media turns the full focus on this event for the next few days which may ring a precautionary alarm to avoid such a disaster.
