Death Of Our Old Polariod

Recently we learned Polaroid will stop producing its instant film for their iconic Polaroid cameras. This was inevitable as the company stopped making the instant camera years ago. The hope is someone, somewhere, will acquire the licensing rights to continue producing the instant film. But that likelihood seems slim given today's digital dominance.
Digital photography has its many advantages, but so does Polaroid’s instant photography. Geno Church from Brains on Fire is lamenting the loss of Polaroid instant film. For various marketing projects, Geno uses Polaroid instant film to capture a moment and immediately share that moment with others. Geno writes … “I’m a techy-geek type, but I’ve always liked the instant and open development of the photo. I’ve always thought that a Polaroid captured the moment in an authentic, fun way.”

My point of view:

This can be an example of our point of view towards changing opinion about lifestyle and products. Digital physiology is slowly turning humans into binary code. The slow death of Polaroid might have a story which symbolizes our current virtual society. An instant photo is tangible and real. We have started to choose digital photos which are digital and ephemeral in nature. Our hard drives are consisting millions of photos which we would never convert into real and tangible pictures. It is an orgy of excess. The beauty of photo albums is lost in folders of virtual space. We want to make physical objects or real life existence become obsolete

Truth is not always obvious

There are few movies that make u think about the way world exists. The reality is shown absolutely real in these movies. They tend to change the way we look at things. Each Micheal Moore movie changes the way I perceive this world. I was one of those guys who thought America was the best country in the world till i came across Mr.Double M.

I hate to write reviews about books and movies. But I cannot help falling in the trap of writing this one. I want to describe about sicko and bowling for columbine in few lines. These two movies are based on two motifs which are entwined. Sick people cannot be happy. Unhappy people fight with each other. People who like to fight buy guns to kill. These lines define the central theme of these two movies. If u come across people who tell you that America is the greatest country in the world( And look down upon India and rest of the third world ). Please show them these two movies. They will Shut up......

Note; ( I feel like I am committing a heinous crime by not telling the viewer about the beauty and philosophy of sicko and blowing for columbine. I want the viewer to have the first hand experience. )

hate,hope and love are universal.

THE KINGDOM :The opening shot of the movie shows a Saudi killing
Americans.The news travels to Fbi head quarters Where one of the victims is the husband to an agent. Jamie foxx walks to this agent and whispers something to calm her down.
(In real life )I went to an icl match between India and Pakistan. I saw many Indian supporting Pakistan. I was shocked and happy that we are truly a secular country.But when I observed closely; there was a strong undercurrent. Pakistan team was getting so much support not for their cricketing skills but for their god and religion.The match was not about India and Pakistan. It was god vs god. ( it depends on what religion you belong to choose a god ). I was wondering how this will help creating more hatred among the two religions.How both sides will stereo type each other to death.( each muslim is a traitor and each Hindu hates a Muslim)
It is not surprising that most of the terror activities have their inception in hyderabad.The circle of hate has a strong presence in hearts of its inhabitants.But now it is in full public view.
( back to the movie )The Fbi team goes to Saudi and kills all the culprits involved in killing of americans. In the penultimate scene :they shoot abu hamzaa. Before abu hamzaa dies he whispers something into the ears of his grandson.
In the last scene , one of the fbi men ask Jamie foxx what did he whisper in the ears of the widow to pacify her. In Saudi . A mother asks her son what did his grandfather whisper into his ears before dying

The beauty of the story lies in this moment. Both whispers though world apart mean the same.
"kill them all".
Hate is something very real and dangerous. It speaks a universal language.And it is more closer to home and heart than we can imagine.

Suicide note of an altruistic thiest

Life is short but truth is eternal. The only truth about life is pain. Happiness is nothing but absence of pain.There is no such thing as a happy moment. It is just your mind fooling itself.The absolute reality about this world is pain. Only pain shall set us free.
I hate this world. But i love God.I wish in these last moments to be happy. I have been sad through out my life. I wish god helped me in finding happiness.I prayed everyday to absolve me of the unknown sin. I felt constantly guilty of committing unknown sins of flesh and mind. I tried all my life to think nothing and know nothing except the good book.
I had followed the good book. Each page has made me believe in divinity. God loves the men who sacrifice.God loves the men who bear the burden and pain.The only way to salvation is being selfless.I want to do the ultimate. I want to be absolutely selfless.Mind is a part of self.Body is a part of self.When I annihilate both body and mind I shall attain salvation.
This pain of uncertainty will leave me. I shall be able to experience no longer any pain. May be this is the perfect way for eternal happiness.I never met anyone in my life except my mother. I think to seek love and happiness in this world is selfish.I never committed such selfish acts.No one loves me. But I love god. In his name and for his glory..........
