"2-Good" Movies, I watched recently

From a long time, I was thinking, why our Telugu film makers are still going for routine mass masala movies, when we see some experimental yet good movies from Hindi/Tamil people etc....Well, I think the telugu audience are tuned that way....anyways, I watched a couple of movies recently and felt that our Telugu Movie Makers have changed their style and making a new way...below is my take on those "2 Good" movies.

1. LEADER:

This is a movie which comes under typical political genre. Before, I watched this, I was thinking how Shekar Kammula will handle this kind of a movie that too with a new comer. He did a good job, except for that love story part(as it dilutes the intensity and deviates our mind a bit).

Good:
->Story, as it is very close to today's politics(not sure if one can become a CM as shown, but expecting such a Leader).
->First half is very much gripping, esp, the screenplay is very good.
-> Good acting by all(except the actress who comes in the first half, she irritates you)....though, I felt, Rana could have done better....he did not spoil the character, so good...by the way, his voice is very good.
-> Music is good....I liked the BGM in some of the scenes.

Bad:
->When you are watching a intense scene....all of a sudden a girl(herione in the first half) comes and talks in childish way(dont know how to define this...well,may be, like our telugu anchors talk..hehe)....you dont understand how to react....Also, her diagolgues, add to that. I felt, all the scenes which has girl talking are not well shot.
-> Love Story and one song(aunana kadana) placement - Director has justified this(love story) in the end of the movie. May be a young CM will fall in love but being a CM how can one go daily to the girls place...doing his work from a restaurant....hard to digest..director should have shown it in a different way. Atleast, I felt that.

Overall, its a good watch.


2. Ye Maya Chesave:

Well, I watched this movie after a week of its release and till then many of them watched it and gave "very" different opinions to me. One said its was too good, while other said it was really boring....In general, we dont hear such contrasting opinions from the general public on a movie. Anyways, I thought, after hearing to all those opinions, that this movie might be some thing really different....also, as one of my
favourite directors Gowtham directed it and with some superb songs by AR Rahman this movie created a lot of interest in me. At last, I watched it and felt very good. Its a typical, simple, plain love story.

Good:
-> Direction. Yep, narrating a simple love story(you can see just two characters for 90% of the movie) in a interesting way is what I primarily liked.
-> Music - Songs are Superb....BGM, its damn good....very different.
-> Very good acting ...esp: both the lead actors....Naga Chaitanya and Samantha....they both were very apt(I also watched the tamil version but some how felt Simbu and Trisha were a mismatch for this type of love story..though they acted very good).
-> Dialouges: Very simple(which a love story needs) as per the requirement of the scene(no more , no less)....by the way, the whole movie is narrated by Naga Chaitanya..his voice is very good.
-> Scenes with Krishnudu(comedy in the first half).

Bad:
-> Naga Chaitanya's Dances.....actually, this movie needs no dances but you can find some here and there in the songs...but, he did just OK....
-> Pre-Climax: Could have been a bit fast....though it looks OK as per the situation in the movie, many may feel its bit dragged.

On a whole, Don't expect any mass masala in this movie and I am pretty sure you will like it....its worth a watch.

Eating Fruits - Must read ..

Hi Friends

Its a long one , but please read till the end and it is a good piece of information......
______________

"The disease of trying to please everyone will eat you up. It is better to earn a bad name and live a good life than to earn a good name and live a bad life " Please find below very useful health tips - EATING FRUITS

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair , balding , nervous outburst , and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach..

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice , NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer , heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol , prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON : Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Hope that at least you've read this....
It could save your life !!

Hi Frnz....

This is something new I have learnt today and wanted to share it with you all. I guess most of you(in the USA) have BOA(Bank of America) account and do
online money tranfers regularly....till recently I thought we cannot do online transfers more that 1000$ per day, but, I was wrong, we can do a max of 10,000 per day
If you enroll in SafePass® ....its free.... Yes,that is right. May be some of you might be aware of this already, but,for those who are not, enroll into it and
save a trip to the bank.

Now, I think, you want to tell me.....What a Idea SirJi :)

INTERVIEWS - My Experiences - 1....

I have done many interviews and here are some Do/Don't-do's to follow in an interview .....these are
purely my personal experiences..

Let me start with the phone interviews....

Initial round of interviews(especially in the US) for any position happen over the Phone and below are some Do's/Dont-Do's

Before the call:
1. Try to use a hands free device like the bluetooth, as this will ease you in many ways.So,keep one ready.
2.Just before the call take a deep breath(believe me, this really helps)
3. Keep a glass of water next to you(just to sip in some, when you are listening to the question).....this is clear your throat and kool you a bit.
4. Sing a song out loudly before the call(not when on the call..hehe)....this will clear your throat and will give you some confidence to talk.

During the Interview:
1. Obviously the interviewer will be speaking first...eg: he might mention...like, his name is XXXX
and he has YYYY and ZZZZ with him on the conference....then it will be your turn to speak...this is
very important....;It should be loud and clear with a smile(dont wonder, how can they see your smile..the sound which
comes out while you are smiling and talking is different than talking with a blank space(dont believe it? then,
try it and check yourself)
2. Never pre assume that the inteviewer might be asking only these kinda questions...ofcourse, there might be some
general questions like(tell me about your self etc) but regarding the subject, we should go with open mind.
3. Never read out the answer to the response(from a paper/book etc), as this can be easily recognized by the interviewer.
4. At the end of the call, dont forget to ask few questions....like, where is the project standing right now, what exactly is your expectation
from the candidate you will be hiring for this position..and etc...the intension here is, to make sure the interviewer understand that you are
curious to know about the position and so obviously interested in it.

Adhi matter....next time, I will come up with some personal experiences with Face 2 Face interviews....Stay Tuned :)
