3D... every mainstream Hollywood movie is a 3D wannabe. But why ? Does adding that 3rd dimension on a 2 Dimensional make you more comfortable watching that movie.
Once my Maths tuition teacher, while teaching 3 dimensional geometry, asked us students, what if there was a 4th dimension? And there were living forms in the 1st and 2nd dimension ? You never can give 100 % impossibility with the way new discoveries are being made in our lives. Since we live in the 3 Dimensional world we might not be able to comprehend or a describe what a 4th dimension means even if it exists.
Which brings me to the topic. What if all the ghost stories, the spirits you see, the hallucinations or the images you see in a dream state are that 4th dimension. What if our brain at that moment opens that sensation to perceive a 4th dimension, that has been hidden all that time. Just like a maniac person finding infinite strength from his body during his state mind, what if the mind unlocked that sense for a 4th dimension which we never knew existed. What if the different images that different persons sees are from multiple other dimensions or an interpretation of different perception of different types of unknown dimensions.
People see ghosts, their long lost ones, the feeling that I am not alone in this empty room right now, is that perception for the 4th dimension or a higher one? Although hallucinations and dreams tend to be explained on our inner repressed thoughts or a disorganized manner of thinking, couldn't it be that our mind is telling something about what we never have seen ,that existed right in front of us?
I never intend this topic be made into a argument or a debate..it's just the question.. What if ?
Long Long time since I have blogged.. Studying now to become a Psychiatrist. Life is pretty hectic, running for someone, jumping for someone, getting stressed and frustrated for someone...and ironically that someone are not my patients.
Life as a budding psychiatrist , brings you a lot of stories of people's lives that is the stuff of fiction. It's hardly a surprise here, how much inspired novelists can become if they follow a person's life. Each person has a story to tell, a cause or a reason to live, a perspective you might have never encountered or ever thought of in your wildest dreams. The extent to which we, humans, will go to survive, to bear the burden on our shoulders and still find the strength to take the next step.Even when we want to have everything perfect in our lives, we still can be blind to how imperfect the people around us are and still live with it..
Each day presents with a new experience, telling me the definition of life is much much wider than you know and not just the few words theorists put forward to you..
Wondering where the pic of my first ever post came from?
It's from the video of Mad World by Gary Jules.The song is a cover of the the same title by "Tears for Fears" which was a very prominent band in the 80's, with their International hits "Shout" and "Everybody wants to rule".
The song is slower version made for the soundtrack of the cerebral hit "Donnie Darko". Mad World has gained a resurgence recently after Adam Lambert sang it on American Idol and received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.
Hello everyone, I had started this blog with the intention of posting my thoughts and sharing my passions, likes and dislikes. But my career is at present going like Capt. Jack Sparrow's compass, directionless, but to somewhere.I have reached the point of desperation after numerous failed attempts and experiments to rejuvenate a static career to desired levels. Hoping to get back soon into active netduty in a few months..till then..do take some time to kick someone's ass...
Well, the Tiger Woods issue had been out a long time ago and i know this is blog is a bit post mature, i couldn't help taking a snub at him after I stumbled upon this little piece on the net..
Man, with a 750 Million $ divorce settlement he just got royally screwed i guess. But I think that humongous amount will still not stop people from committing adultery. But the funny thing is how Tiger expected to get away being involved with so many mistresses. Someone was bound to blow the whistle.
One lazy day, sitting and reminiscing childhood memories, i started remembering the songs to which i used to have fun in those days I was born in the early 80's in the Gulf and western music was quite common .It was the era of disco; the era of Boney M's, Abba , Donna Summer. Although pure disco was slowly dying , the aforementioned artists were still popular and pop had just begun to become dominant. It was the time when the King and Queen of Pop , Michael Jackson and Madonna came into prominence to rule the music scene from there on. But Bollywood was still in the disco mood, with Bappi Lahiri and R.D Burman ruling the scene . Bappi was the king of Disco and nobody can forget his " I am a Disco Dancer" which sprung Mithun Chakraborthy to fame as India's answer to John Travolta. People who sang for him, Usha Uthup, Sharon Prabhakar, Alisha Chinoy were synonymous with the female vocals in disco and the late legendary Kishore Kumar had some memorable hits with him. The ever versatile R.D Burman also had some hits in the disco genre most of them with the two legends Kishore Kumar and his wife, Asha Bhonsle And this brings me to the brief period in early 80's , where three people collaborated to bring out hits at that time which were in my view far superior to the composed by the ones which had come at the time , some of them becoming evergreen hits. Those three people were music composer, Biddu and the singer siblings from Pakistan Nazia And Zoheb Hassan Biddu and the Hassan Siblings were based in the UK. Biddu had been known internationally for lifting the careers of many disco singers like Carl Douglas, Tina Charles ,etc. and was also known for the composition of "Kung Fu Fighting" which is still an evergreen song in the dance and club scene. When Actor-Producer Feroz Khan approached Biddu to score the music for his film "Qurbani" , he recommended the Hassan siblings who were introduced to him by a friend. What happened there after is history, with the songs of the film becoming huge hits. Nazia was the main singer in most of the songs. Nobody can forget the sexy Zeenat Aman crooning seductively to "Aap Jaisa Koi" and "Laila O laila"
The siblings later did a pop album with Biddu called Disco Deewane. The album not only laid the foundation for the Indian Pop Scene but become a Mega hit not only in India and Pakistan but Brazil, Russia, Middle east and other parts of South Asia The trio then joined hands for a movie called "Star" and the recordings were released as soundtrack under the movie's name and elsewhere as an album called " Boom Boom". The movie was huge box office failure but the soundtrack became equally popular as Disco Deewane , with songs called "Boom Boom", "Koi Nahin" , "Star" and "Oiee Oiee" becoming chart toppers.The album also had some singles from Zoheb Hassan which became equally popular as Nazia's. The success also made them the first South Asian group to be signed an International Music Label, which was EMI music. Of the siblings ,Nazia Hassan became more famous not only because of her voice but also because of her beauty and she was known to be a lady with a heart of gold. The duo become to be known for their youth, innocence, exuberance and energy which connected with the youth of that time. They later churned a few more albums until Nazia got married and quietly retired to family life .Zoheb started concentrating more on his family business. Nazia's life was later filled with tragedies, her marriage ended in a divorce and she was later diagnosed with Lung Cancer. At the age of 35 in 2000 she succumbed to it leaving behind a legacy. Zoheb later released a an album in her sister's memory and started a charity in her name to help youth in various fields.Nazia is still considered a youth icon in Pakistan. Biddu tried to relive the old hits by brings out some remixes of the hits of Boom Boom and Disco Deewane which did rekindle those old days buit for a brief time. It's hard to see or hear those songs on radio or TV except for "Aap Jaisa Koi" and "Lailo", maybe because they did not hold any clout in Indian Music My childhood memories are filled more with their music than any other bollywood songs of that time. Particularly because my folks were big fans of them. I used to watch their songs regularily particularly of the movie "Star" which had been recorded on VHS at that time. And the song "Koi Nahin " was one of my favourites. Her voice was soothing, lively and had a silken flow which made you not just calm, but happy also.As years passed and times went by with VHS becoming out of the scene, I had almost forgotten this song but it occassionally played in mind on nostalgic days. But now with the advent of information at your fingertips (as Amitabh Bachchan said in the movie Paa- "google se bachke kahan jaoge!!") I was able to learn more about this woman who was a gem in all aspects. And what more, a couple of days back,I was able to relive my nostalgia when found the song Koi Nahin on youtube which i will be posting here for you to enjoy.It's sad there is no such singer of her caliber that could connect with the youth nowadays. I guess God creates such gems in just one piece.
(Psssst..coming to the video...probably I didn't notice it when i was 3-5 year old, but Rati Agnihotri is HOT !!)
