Moments To Remember With The Movies I Saw


I have many memories with the movies that I have seen in my life and I m sure you guys too have many. From childhood till now I quickly connect a movie with the moments connected with it.

            I can’t even remember some of my childhood movie’s names but I remember my brother use to show us every Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and all Chinese action movies no matter how boring they are for us. He even forced us to see those silent movies which were way ahead of our understanding. He used to explain us the story but we use to laugh and have fun seeing his dedication to convince us for those bore slow movies.

The first movie in a hall is always a moment to remember for everyone. I’m sure it’s not only me whose first movie in a theater was "Hum Aapke Hai Kaun". Had a great experience to watch flops with school buddies, first movie with buddies "Chor Machaye Shor" it was fun to watch flops when u have good company. Reasons to watch movies were many, fight with best friend n stress reliever was nearest PVR theater. 

Get together with childhood friends, friend got first job, exams are over, wanna eat pop corns, birthday, break ups, patch ups, farewell, getting bore. What to do after bunk, watch a movie. Friend is on date, inside the hall and we are waiting for her for 3 hrs outside and then return home pretending we had fun watching movie together. The craze of watching DVDs, spending hours and hours in the room watching movie all alone just coz had craze for horror movies and Action movies.  First Late night show that too of a movie like "Mangal Pandey". The hilarious comments that bunch of guys at back seat passed while watching those serious dramas. Cozy scene on screen and friend sitting next to you has wide eyes open with the straw in mouth. Sitting on 3rd seat from corner and the corner seat couple is busy in creating their own moments, who enjoys the movie in that case. Bunk from office and fight with the PVR manager to take care of our laptops. Forgetting keys, cell phones and wallets inside hall. Hiding yourself from neighbors sitting in next row. Hooting in hall n irritating everyone around.

Well I think I should stop here now. Hope you too got few memories back after reading it. If u did then feel free to share your comments.

Who Likes to watch movies with breaks...

 Trend of first on television is now all settled in India. The moment a movie releases it’s been booked by various channels to telecast it first. No wonder a movie released few weeks ago is now on your television. The surprise for me is that people are not interested to watch these movies. I was living in a myth few weeks ago that people like this concept of first on television but since last few experiences I came to know that its not something people prefer.

Watching movie on TV channels is not the trend now. Why? Well one major reason that I heard from my friends is, “who likes to watch movie with breaks “ and without any control of fast forward and rewind. Ok then solution to this is digital TV service providers (like TataSky, Dish TV and IPTV). They provide their own video library or video on demand service which is without any breaks and is in viewer’s control.

Watching movies on laptops is something youth loves nowadays. It’s good to have your own movie collection. In fact some people even have their own video library.Watching movie on 14inch screen and watching same in a theatre are two totally different experiences and have no comparisons with each other.

So Is it worth showing a movie on TV when people are loosing all their interest of watching them?

CWG2010 up bringing New Digital TV Technologies - IPTV

CWG2010 is all set to bring country's biggest sports event on 3rd October 2010. Well the CWG2010 has definitely done a lot of development for Delhi. Lots of new flyovers, bridges, Metro, parking, bus stands etc. have been developed. World's largest Bus Depot was launched a few days back. We all are watching these infrastructural developments in Delhi, but not only the infrastructure has improved but with CWG, television too is getting latest technologies.

DoorDarshan got HD, which means now the experience of watching the games will be double fun as you will be getting high definition digital quality videos. Another big thing that nation will be hearing about is the use of IPTV. Yes! the CWG village will be providing IPTV services to the players along with the luxury rooms. iControl IPTV which is providing IPTV services along with BSNL / MTNL in 22 cities of India is gonna make it possible. They recently updated on Facebook and Twitter about the news that they will be providing IPTV services for the CWG village. For those who are new to the word IPTV can read my earlier blogs on IPTV.


IPTV technology has lots of features making TV viewing experience lot better. iControl provides features like time shift (named CHILL & COOL). CHILL lets its viewers watch all the that was telecasted on TV up to last 7 days while COOL lets the viewers rewind-pause-play LIVE TV. This means players at their free time can watch all that they missed during their matches. It will be a real high tech facility that they will be getting. Though IPTV is already present in lots of European countries and others as well but, in India its still an emerging technology and hence its presence in games up brings the IPTV in digital technologies. Lets hope that after the games India will get a step ahead of DTH and will initiate to go for IPTV.

It's Reality Show Time


Reality show are back on television. Khatron Ke Khiladi x3 (KKKx3) has already started, Bigg boss 4 (BB4) is about to come and this time its gonna have a competition with Kaun Banega Crorepati 4 (KBC4) and Akshay (Akki) is all set to come with his cooking show (Master Chef India).

KKKx3 with Priyanka is rocking at present, though comparing her with Akki was the most expected thing before the show and people now are comparing two. Some say Akki was better so some have a totally different opinion. Natural phenomenon, different people have different taste but, yes TV world has another topic to talk about.

BB4 too has a different host this time and what a difference they are bringing for their show, Salman khan (Sallu) is the new host of BB4 . Yes Ander Maza toh bahar Mazzzedar. I am eagerly waiting for the BB4 and wanna know who will be the participants. Well on one side craze of watching Sallu is there then on other side I also wanna watch the classy kbc4, yes classy b'coz big B is back on KBC and when he is hosting the show the level gets ever higher. His way of greeting and asking questions is loved by all. I read somewhere that both BB4 and KBC4 will be telecasted at same time, sad news for those who are not having time shift TV. I am not gonna miss any of these coz of the IPTVtechnology.

Recent shows like India's Got talent (IGT) too are going well. In first season of IGT Prince dance group won and will be performing for the CWG2010 next month. Having such shows encourages the talents to grow and expand their wings. Well may be that's another reason why KBC is a hit always, coz it too reaches the common people and gives them an opportunity to fulfill their dreams by earning money with their brain/knowledge.

I don't know what is it that attracts me towards Bigg boss but, from season one I simply love this show. Its just like the strategy or virtual games which become an addiction in a gamer's life, once the show starts I try not to miss even the 12am live telecasts. So once the show will start my tweets on twitter (@bmeenu) and comments on FB will get a increase in stream/updates. For me the real reality show season is about to begin - Its Reality show time .
