Do We Really Need The 3D TV Now ?

Last 3D movie I saw was Avatar and it was truly a great experience. Watching 3D movie is a bit of struggle for me coz theres no 3D theater in my city and hence have to specially plan for visiting a 3D Theater in neighboring cities. But now 3D televisions are there in the market. I was amazed to hear about the Samsung 3D TV launch in India & was eager to know more about it.

All the craze & excitement died the moment I saw its price. The range starts from Rs 1.3 Lakhs, something that I can't even think about affording. The country like India where a car is worth Rs 1Lakh, selling TV of more than a Lakh is something I feel is not for comman man. And then seeing pros and cons on a TV report I finally concluded that its of no use for me.Leaving the cost, if you still want to buy it, the lack of 3D content in India also makes 3D TV a No.

I read somewhere that “Besides launching its 3D TV, Samsung announced its tie-up with production house DreamWorks Animation for providing 3D content. As part of the tie-up, the company said it will give away 3D version of 'Monsters vs Aliens', an animation movie released last year by Dreamworks, with every 3D television sold.” But I don't think that will be enough for a buyer. One or two 3D movie won't attract customers.

Watching your Non-3D content TV shows on the normal channels ( like Balika Vadhu on Colors) will still be same. You are not gonna see its 3D content, coz there is no 3D content available for all the channels, in fact only a few of Hollywood movies and cartoon movies are there whom you will be enjoying watching on your 3D TV. The channels are slowly moving towards HD contents and I guess providing 3D contents will take a long time.


Third point to note is the 3D glasses, that you will be requiring to wear in order to experience the 3D contents. The users find it odd, wearing their glasses all the time in order to watch their TV. When you purchase a 3DTV, you have to use the same manufacturers 3D glasses to see it. Samsung glasses will not work on Panasonic TVs, as of now it is a proprietary system. Fourth :3D technology works better in a darkened room anyway. So before placing your TV make sure you know that size can fit in the particular location and depending on how much sunlight you get in the room. Just set an environment for your 3DTV in order to enjoy its best.


Bringing 3D TV for now is not a good idea according to me, but once we are done with all these small issues, I am sure we are gonna be another step ahead in the high tech world.

Busy Bee Blogging

Blogging while Working is getting hectic, got so many things to do. And let me tell you that blogging is not just a piece of cake. It takes a lot of time and nowadays I am short of time. In fact I am even missing my IPL matches, though have a solution to that – iControl IPTV, but still blogs have no such solution. Writing need a lot of research & thinking and I guess now I will reduce the frequency of my posts coz I can't compromise with the quality.

Cartoons Aren't Only For Kids Anymore

While writing my previous post I realized that cartoons are no more teaching only kids. They also do have a deep lesson for us, the grown ups. Watching Ratatouille was an experience and learning the lessons from it was another. After realizing that the harsh words of critics are hard to write. And the critic praising a marvelous work, ignoring the other facts is so unacceptable. I now do understand the feelings of both the critic and the creator.
Do you think your kid watching Ratatouille will understand that part? No for him/her the movie is simply a fun movie, at most teaching them that anyone can cook. Kids after seeing the movie might experiment with cooking too. I used to do it, whichever movie I used to watch in my childhood, I use to enter into that character. I remember I saw the bugs life during my school days and all my friends were trying to be Flik (The Ant). We all learned that unity leads to success. I am glad that I am still learning from these cartoon movies.

Kung – Fu – Panda is the best example of a cartoon movie for everyone, its a movie teaching you a lot. Each character in the movie has one or the other management quality. No wonder why my brother had a office self management session. He bought the DVD of the movie for his kids at the time of the movie release and now watched it again to see the part he missed in the session. We were making fun of my brother, but when he narrated the same story with its motivational meanings, we were inspired. The diamond dreamer has explained each character of Kung-Fu-Panda in quite a similar way

Though the list of such masterpieces is long I would still mention few in short. UP asking you to go all out and chase your dreams, its never late. Cars says rushing for our success might tend to miss out on simple pleasures of the life. We should learn to take breaks once in a while and enjoy the simpler things. Finding Nemo simply asking you to explore yourself and let the world know your presence. Its never harmful to go around and learn, you will have few enemies but a lot more friends & well wishers.
Learning from animated movies is not only fun but is really an awesome way of teaching the adults. Organizing some motivational events and showing such movies or short movies really brings a boost for the employees. I personally admire those firms a lot who know how to keep their personnel keep going happily. The zest and the passion to work for the firm can be seen more in such environments where motivation is in the form fun activities like showing cartoon movies, playing strategic games etc.
So next time if your kids are watching cartoon movie better you accompany them and share the lessons learned.

Ratatouille : What Lesson Do We Learn

Watching the toons has always been pleasure. I was watching Ratatouille few days back and simply loved the movie. Must say the animation movies aren't just for kids. Ratatouille had a lot for the critics. My eagerness to know about what the critics felt for this movie brought some sweet & sour results. Though movie was fantastic but the controversial part was about Anton Ego – The critic in the movie.

Richard Corliss had a straight thing to say that "The subtle colors and textures of the food alone make Ratatouille a three-star Michelin evening."

In The New York Times, A.O. Scott views were :

A nearly flawless piece of popular art, as well as one of the most persuasive
portraits of an artist ever committed to film. It provides the kind of deep,
transporting pleasure, at once simple and sophisticated, that movies at their best have always promised.

Roger Ebert just stole my words, he says ;

"This is clearly one of the best of the year's films. Every time an animated film is
successful, you have to read all over again about how animation isn't "just for
children" but "for the whole family," and "even for adults going on their own." No
kidding!"

People ( The critics) admired the animation work, story, but when talking about the Ego's character, most of them disagree with him. Well according to me the movie had a nice script, nice use of words in the dialogues and simply superb quotes, especially of Anton Ego - The critic.

"In many ways the work of us as a critic is very easy. We risk very little. Yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in a grand scheme of things the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so

These last critic comments for the dish "Ratatouille" (cooked by Remy – The Rat) were spellbinding. Simply loved the critic at end. Yes! liked a character rarely liked by others.
