MB-MEDIA BYTE !!

Is media responsible for shaping the society as a group and  as an individual?
Think about it? 
The media informs us of what is  happening around us,By feeding us with information which they believe might interest us.
There is so much happening around the world,In our country,State and city.That isn’t reported or becomes a eye rolling headline.
May be because,There would be limited audience,attracted to the news.It’s too good to be shared.
Since we all love to share news that have some spice in it. 
Do you  know what happened last night??
It’s not part of a growth strategy for particular beat in the state,City financially ,Economically,Socially and politically and Technologically.
Media is 
responsible for the outlook we perceive of our neighbouring country and culture.
But,More importantly The way the world perceives us as a country and fellow citizen of the country.
The Power,Withheld with journalist and media houses of telling the truth or what’s the truth happening around by balancing their view and not being biased,should be used in rather neutral way ,the  argument weighting the pros and Cons  should be left to the public to decide what they think.
Rather than harping  on  their own thinking as to what we think must have happened and which we truly believe it was.
Media needs to encourage the expression of Opinions and views one might have towards the freedom of the speech,And being the Voice of the voiceless who are waiting to be heard. 

Valerian -Personal Movie Review!! 


Valerian:The city of a thousand planet .A story adapted from the comic ,valerian and Laureline written by Pierre Christin.The movie directed by Luc Besson who’s last flick was “Lucy “another SCI-Fi story starring Scarlett Johnson was thrilling enough to wonder what’s next and then Valerian comes.

Starring Cara Delevingne who was part of the suicide squad last and Dane Dehaan in  played Harry Osborn in The amazing Spider-Man.

The movie is about an assignment to maintain peace and harmony in human territory assigned by minister of defence.And their race against time.

The music by alxendra desplat the French composer who we all know because of the movies like “Harry Potter “and “Grand Budapest Hotel “to name a few that kept us glued to enjoying the Cinematic experience and same goes with “Valerian “too.The music and effects in 3D and a director who’s last was “Lucy “makes it all in all to go and experience the world on another planet. 

Last but not the least another reason to experience is the Guest appearance of Rihanna and Ethan Hawke.

Wunderland!! 


Miniatur Wunderland, Hamburg The world’s largest Model railway is a tourist attraction, and the highlight for me in my trip to Germany.

Can you imagine a tiny real world, from cities around the world, giving the same feeling of the actual cities.

Last vegas,Night effect would give you the feeling of standing on “the strip” and watching the lighting .

The flight taking off,With the sound effect of the engine and the movement of the airplane going on the runaway ready to take off, would only give you the sense and feeling as if you were there at the airport witnessing the action,These airplanes models had the branding of lufthansa,airberlin ,Emirates and many more airlines on them.The most amazing experience of witnessing the real world around the globe in a tiny space.

Trivia of the wonderland:

nine years and spent £8million

The Celluloid!! 


Are we nearing a time when watching movies at cinema theatres and multiplex won’t be fun any more? The recent movie experience made me question.This though.

Why does One watch a movie at cinema rather than watch a movie at home or television? 

Well,It’s not difficult to answer this one,But for the sole reason of watching a film the way it is without 

An unedited version rather than an edited version suitable for family viewing.This not about censoring some portions of the film.

But,About Censoring the abuse language with a Beep.Why? 

Not,That I enjoy listening to them aloud.But the beep takes away the cinematic experience an film

Offers at cinema theatre,Also if this is the case. Then why not download movies and watch from sites across world,We are only encouraging more piracy and looking at numbers not meeting the expected numbers as fewer audiences would rush to a multiplex to catch the latest release. And would wait for it to be premiered on Television.

If this is the case,There would be soon no HollyWood movies releasing at all at the cinemas as they would not see it as a profitable release.

And in time such as Introducing movie on demands via App for audiences to watch movies they have missed out.

This change itself makes you Question don’t we have any Creative freedom at all ? 

Where are we heading ? 

English/Vinglish


English The language we all know is difficult to learn,English is also known as a phunny language and today even the simplest words are hard to spell correct if the autocorrect isn’t activated in your devices like the mobile fone tablet and Computer
While just browsing online the other day the house helper came up and asked me “Akhil” what’s the spelling of January. I Quickly Responded with J-A-N-U-A-R-Y.

Thought for another moment and repeated yes it’s (J-A-N-U-A-R-Y) 

But,I wasn’t still sure about the spelling as my mind did not check the correct word I Spelled out,So only when I googled I was satisfied yes the spelling was correct.

With each passing day,We are so heavily dependent on our devices that the day isn’t too far when we will google each word and write it down since our vocabulary consists of “U” 

Instead of “You” “v” instead “We” we aren’t moving ahead with our grammar rather moving backwards,going back to those historic days of the past in other words the world would be adapating to Latin English once again. 

Back to the Shakespearean times “Thou shall not pass “in English if it’s not Shakespearean. Technology is making us handicapped and we haven’t realised yet.
