Music is a very powerful form of expression that has been around for several thousands of years but only for a few decades for me. I used to hear only Bhangras, Dabbankuttus and Hard Metal but recently about 5 years back, I heard a soft melodious song that transferred my liking completely. I heard the song on radio but couldn't catch the name of it.Iwould hum the tune from time to time just so that i wouldn't forget it. It took me a full year for me to find out the song;It was Addicted from Enrique Iglesius..
After that, my taste changed slowly and i incorporated more of soft music into my ipod. I began by becoming a follower of MLTR and Metallica. This change surprised me rather than simply accepting the fact that people change. I had seen people and their tastes change but I felt that this change was too drastic. I started pondering over this completely random thought and I remembered several people's opinions that buzzed through my mind that he had changed and is no longer the person he was or she was like this and like that before blah blah..... From this, I figured that people had a problem coping with change. Is it true that after a change everyone starts to alienate others who had liked the previous you. However, if you are able to delve deeper into the human psychology, you will be able to realize that it is completely natural for one to change.
"Behaviour Change is Permanant and transient at the same time".. Definitely for the simple fact that in order for a person to evolve or in simpler words to grow, he is expected to change. Now how can one say that change is transient; People tend to retain some of their dominant characteristics that make his character;these fundamental characteristics never change and still lie active generally,dormant in certain cases.I related my taste for the fairer kind of music( I call melodies as fairer kind since they are the more sensitive and touching) to be like one of the more transient forms of changes, the changes that change at regular intervals. I developed my taste over scores of compositions from Coldplay,Enrique,ARR,Yuvan, Roxette and Sting etc .
Now too, I listen to new kinds of music, whether it be Hip-hop or Alternate; but the trend is yet to shift. I still like to lie down on my cot , putting on some headphones and listen through the night to those lazy beats.
PS: Thats why my mobile and ipod are always short of charge... I tend to exhaust them often.

Google Knowledge Life Power
It has been only a couple of days, that too a weekend, since i came to office. Yet,It seems like an eternity. I was googling through some articles today and i came across an executive summary of Louis Gerstner's Who says Elephants cant dance? . I had recently heard about the book and wanting to know more about my company,i started off with this summary.
Reading through the pages, I was shocked to see how so less number of pages could hold such great a wisdom. I came to a conclusion from the script that people had been exaggerating a lot. I definitely do not mean Louis here but the people who claim Louis to be a god. Indeed he is one for resurrecting IBM but reading thorough his accounts , you come to a conclusion that he is more human than some of his compatriots and has also been bold enough to open up his fears, focuses and experience with everyone. That was not all that was revealed in this book, there was a deep secret that had been underlying beneath the printed alphabets . This secret known to few, was practiced unknowingly for centuries.
The secret though practiced was not written down to my knowledge... So,remember that you heard it here first.
History has a way of recording events , call it luck, call it chance or call it destiny; It has not always been the most powerful who has been the most successful, it is the lucky ones who have claimed destiny's cup of life... Why do you think monarchs of old used to record their events in stones and rocks. They wanted their records to be passed safely down the generations. It has always been known that knowledge is power .It could very well be that we are revering the world's biggest loser as the mightiest god of all. Chance and destiny allowed this person's events alone to pass the trial of time and reach his successors. We also know that history has a habit of re-inventing itself.The Hero whom you revere today can be dethroned tomorrow. It happens often too.History also metaphorically keeps correcting itself , but for all you know,it could keep getting it wrong.
I know you are all wondering how Louis Gerstner came into this picture. There is only one law and that is "He who makes others know that he knows is He". You could have the biggest gun in the world but unless you blurt it out, no one would know that.. Louis Gerstner was not the reason for the kings to record the events nor was it the reason for them to become a revered god, It was the ever consuming power of communication and chance that had brought them to this position. What i am trying to say is that, a simple human being can become a god if he has destiny written in him.Louis Gerstner may have made it big at IBM but thousands of years down the line, IBM could very well be misinterpreted to be a country or a culture (It is a culture) and although great people have slogged much harder than this fellow, he could very well be the revered one..
Another truly interesting class of people are the politicians. They are the people who effectively utilize the various forms of communications available. Whether it is the jan yatra or blogging, they do it for the people..Could this be the elusive quote Democracy,for the people.... Have you ever wondered why politicians never officially write down their political goals for a term.. By doing so, they commit themselves for it. Aren't we forced to read self-improvement books like Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective people. Shouldn't some of the training be provided to them prior to assuming such powerful influential roles. After all, the image of the country is in the hand of these few people . For this sake alone, I simply love the Jaago re ads . They might be using this sentiment selfishly to promote their product and i totally acknowledge it. Instead of using beautiful women to promote their product, using things which could educate the people is an avenue which is worth it. The Jaago re ads have created a stimulation (using this word coz it actually creates a stimulus whenever you see the ad) that has poked the guilty nerve of every Indian. The Politician ad is exceptionally good because of the powerful message it transmits. After all, nowadays politicians only come up onstage and talk about the positive things that have occurred during their term( adding the effects that would occur naturally.. like in 9 we have successfully reduced birth rate by 0.001% , he himself not contributing to it at all), demeaning the opposition and about what they would do the next term. Why not write it down somewhere official and have people feedback it during the course of their term. An official study can show the effectiveness of the politicians. There are so many management principles that HAD revolutionized the world, but somehow India remains non-aligned in that too . Their life happily spent on public money because their father was a national leader and as if they are worth it, they come up with a book of their life reiterating the facts that have made him a bodyless head.
Louis Gerstner, I salute you for spinning inside me such opinions that i thought i had never had before..Chow !!!

Sony Ericsson W580I
SE has launched a wonderful and trendy mobile for a price of around Rs 10000. The Sony Ericsson W580i has swept the mobile phone market and is the main contender for the MotoRokr E6. The W580i has certain added advantages over the E6 but is out performed in certain functionalities. The E6 was reviewed in my previous posting . The W580i has a wonderful 2MP camera which is quite better than E6, even though it also doesnt have any auto focus.The W580i is also a moddable cellphone. Its already captivating looks can be modified to make it look heavenly and out of the world.
Modding can be done by the use of Phone XS++ or Far Manager wits its SE Flash Plugin. I have personally used the XS++ software and is very easy to use. Beginners are requested to start with the FSK module and then move on to the flashing as the latter one has the capability to brick your cellphone.I will be also writing a post on modding of SE and motorokr cellphones later on.
The W580i has good soung quality and is a true Walkman series phone. The looks score 100%. The phone is a bit on the frailer side, even though it is even stronger than its predecessor, the W580. The phone is really excellent and is worth every penny.
Note: Please Read the Instructions before modding any mobile phone as bricking may occur. I am in no way responsible for any problem in your mobile phone. For more details, visit SE-NSE Forums.

The MotoRokr E6
Motorola released the E6 in its prime Motorokr series. The E6 has outdone its sales expectation and is bidded to be the best phone in its range. Priced at about Rs 10000, the Motorokr E6 is a wonderful buy. The important features are the availability of a large screen with a nice sensitive touch screen. This phone is a pure business phone which has a superb PDF and DOC reading capability that can prove extremely useful for working professionals and students.Apart from this, a premium edition of the E6 involves a stereo bluetooth headset or a snoop device which is both trendy to look at as well as effective for listening to music.
The Motorokr E6 is to be suceeded by the E8 which has wonderful touch sensitive pads and haptics enableed screen,ie,a response is given back ,like a vibration or so, to the user that a key has been pressed. The best thing about the motorokr E6 is the fact that it can be easily modded.The modded phone can then incorporate several new applications and themes that can transform the cellphone to the user's taste.
Now for some more information about the Rokr E6, it is based on Monte vista Linux. The modding can be done through several methods, which are explained effectively and clearly in www.modmymoto.com or www.motorolafans.com..
It has a 2 MP camera which offers high class photos and videos.Its a pity there isnt any auto focus available. The speaker sound and the phone speed can be increased by certain mod packages available. The MotoRokr E6 is a wonderful phone and let us just hope that Motorola comes back to its feet to produce many more phones of such calibre..
