Transformers - Dark of the Moon


Its like logic never crossed paths with writers of this film if I were to be ernest.
But then again if they all had Quad core processors in their heads, who would make movies?
There is something oddly captivating about the 'shape-shifty-car-robot-' thingies isn't there? If you are a car fanatic like me, then you would have to like them on principle, but even the doe eyed, curly haired damsels covered their eyes or cupped their mouths when optimus' arm gets dismembered which is a touching moment.
I am still clueless about how all of a sudden everyone remembers that there is something buried on the moon, or why Monsiur Sam cannot get a job, why the seals/army types accomplish in the entire movie, or even what Sams "new british" girlfriends' actual role in the film is besides showing her posterior or running helter skelter to no apparent destination. I can bet that she could have been given "Lord Voldemorts nose" (or the lack of it) and no one would have noticed with the kind of garb shes been given to don throughout the film.
Just like you dont head to macdonalds if you want a diet coke, watch dark of the moon for its effects, and to ogle at Optimus prime's flames paintjob. So if u plan to watch transformers, leave your thinking caps at home, and watch how realistic computer created metal mash-ups can be.

Dhruva v/s "The form"

I, recently having tricked someone into employing me, am going to get paid for my efforts. Hence I find the need to open an account in a bank. I have a wide choice of 2 banks to open an account with, namely HDFC and Axis bank. Excellent. Since I tend to run as far away from any geometrical sounding terms, naturally I shirked away from Axis and went in for the other choice. That is where it all began. How hard can it be to get yourself a silly piece of paper called an “ account opening form ?” Well the answer is Very with a capital V! My poor mum was the first person to have unsuccessfully tried to acquire the said form; she came back flustered not having remembered the name and address of my company. And hence I was personally required to get short leave and get myself a form. Fair enough, I did so at the next opportunity I got. Asked my HR executive where the nearest HDFC bank outlet was and I was on my way. Alas I was informed that the systems in the bank were down and ...

Microlearning!

If you are familiar with the story of David and Goliath, you would probably know that David was tiny while Goliath was a giant. However, David with his slingshot brought down the mighty giant. Moral of the story: A small but effective solution can overcome even a mighty problem.                 Coming swiftly to the point now, I propose that the exact same principal can be applied to adult learning. Micro learning - training broken down into short yet informative bits has proven to be beneficial to the learning needs of the millennials. This concept embraces teaching a concise topic which is then tested or applied immediately afterwards.                 Research suggests that 90% of all information taught in a traditional classroom setting is lost within 12 months!  To counter this, micro Learning rejigs your training progr...
Have the Japs missed out on the quarter litre party in India? I was born in the early 80's, i know, you are probably formulating adjectives like ancient, or  antediluvian and laughing your guts out . However, that apart, in those times a motorbike was simply a means of hauling your 'arse' from Point 'Á' to Point 'B'. We had a wide choice of 4 motorbikes to choose from, viz. Bajaj (made the KB100), TVS-Suzuki(made the AX-100, IND-Suzuki) and Hero Honda (made the CD100 of the fill it, shut it, forget it fame). If you look closely the integer 100 is the HCF. Circa 2016, Indians have woken up to the fact that motorbikes are not simply for getting you from home to office and back. You now see bearded 20 year olds wearing t-shirts with quotes like, four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul. If you see a new motorbike, the first question they ask you is probably how fast does it go as opposed to "kitna deti hai" (whats the average petro...
