AAP-Synonym for democracy??

AAP (Aam Aadmi Party), the party which claims to be the people's party and is just about a year old has already shown its power in the Delhi Elections, grabbing 28 seats, thus reaching the second position, throwing the Congress party, one of the powerful parties in India, to the third position..  What exactly has the AAP party done in just one year to grab enough attention??Well, it's a truth that this party has not given any false promises to the people  unlike other parties out there.  There doesn't end the uniqueness of the AAP.  It's latest take on forming a minority government either with BJP or Congress is something which has just been confined to Social Studies text books so far.  Yes!! the true meaning of democracy where the people's voice matters.  Arvind Kejriwal's AAP has given the right to the people of India to express their opinions as to whether they should form a government. This is somethings that us, Indians haven't experienced so far, but have always wished in our minds- "A government for the people, by the people, of the people."  But it's something that we have to wait and watch whether this is just a method used by a start up party to be the superior power or whether it's the sincere effort of a true Indian, who got tired by seeing corruption consuming his motherland. So far, so good!! As they say, "Time would reveal the truth!!"

Secrect behind the Best Start up of the Year 2013, Kejriwals AAP

Beating a strong foundation which has stood tall and strong for years and reaching almost equal to another big team, posing a challenge, is not something to be ignored especially when they turn out be newcomers.  Yes!! we are talking about none other the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) led by Arvind Kejriwal.  Just a year old, AAP has stood unique in its ways promising something new always, unlike other political parties in India.  That's what showed in the Delhi Assembly election results with BJP winning 32 seats, and AAP close to it with 28 seats, beating congress, which was in the third position with just 8 seats.  And of course!! AAP has taught a big lesson that newbies should be taken seriously that you never know when they turn out to be disruptos!!

The truth about animation industry in India.

 

"ANIMATION" industry in India is going through a very tough time. Most of the big animation studios like Crest, Prana, DQ entertainment, Big animation etc. are terminating people in huge numbers dut to the lack of work. Most of the studios have reduced to half or less than half of there original strength. Most of the studios don't have any new projects for future. No one knows when any of them might close down.
But still nobody is telling this to the students who dream of a career in the animation industry that the animation institutes are still projecting a rosy picture of the industry. They are the only people making money with this industry. They charge lakhs of rupees from students, making them dream about working in animation industry and in international companies like Pixar, Dreamworks etc. But in reality, the teaching is so pathetic that the students don't even get selected in Indian studios and with the lack of works, there is no demand for any new people. In fact the people who are working in companies also don't know when they might be thrown out. but still the institutes are throwing around figures and statements like "Indian animation industry needs 100000 people" "Indian animation industry is a mutli-billion dollar industry" and stuff like that.
the truth is that there is no "boom" in industry.
Coming to the salary, one may get Rupees 6000 to 7000 per month, maximum after spending about 1.5-2 Lakh rupees and have to work for long hours. How can one survive with such salaries in metros(like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore etc) where all the studios are situated?
Another thing is that there is no work satisfaction. All the so called animation companies in India are sweatshops for US and Europe companies. The point of the animation education these institutes emphasise is that you can use you "CREATIVITY" "IDEAS" etc. in the way you want but the truth is you creative freedom is limited in the the studios as there are many people involved in the project.

Regarding the placement of the students that the institutes promise, people should really try to find out  how many students among the so called "Placed" students work in an actual "Animation" or "VFX" company.
The truth is that most of the so called "Placed" students work as graphic designers in small companies ranging from digital studios, where there job is just retouching the images of people) to designing pamphlets for coaching classes. and they barely get any salary.
Some of those students who just pass out of the institute are made in faculties in that institute itself. When the person has not worked in the industry how can he teach others about it?

Winamp to bid adieu on 20th December 2013

Photo credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

The year 2013 is nearing its end, so is the media player WINAMP, on December 20, 2013. WINAMP was the most popular player playing mp3 files in the late 90s . Creating skins and downloading and uploading the skin was very popular during the Winamp era. Later, it was updated with the equalizer option which allowed  people to bring in changes to the sound files they played. However, the introduction of online streaming players and many more new players with multitasking limited WINAMP to just a mp3 player even though WINAMP has been updated to use in Android OS. Also, its parent company, Nullsoft, was acquired by AOL in 1999. Shutting down of WINAMP on December 20, 2013 would also include the shutting down of its website http://www.winamp.com/.

Today's Milma tomorrows ENDOSULFAN

Adulteration is common these days and the authorities are not taking necessary actions to prevent it. According to the latest reports, Milma Milk contains reconstituted skimmed milk powder. Milma milk sachets which come with the description "Fresh & Pure" do not contain fresh milk anymore. Therefore, Kerala High Court has asked Milma to remove the description 'Fresh and Pure' from its sachets and to indicate on the packet that it contains skimmed milk powder.  However, it is a fact to ponder upon whether this can really act as a solution to the problem.  Adulteration, if not now, can lead to serious health issues in the future. Such issues have occurred in prior years too. In the 2008 Chinese milk scandal, where higher protein content was reported along with the presence of melamine adulterant in Sanlu infant formula, due to which thousands became ill, and some children died, after consuming the product. Also, in August 2013,botulism-causing bacteria was detected in whey-protein in  milk powder imports from New Zealand. Therefore, we can't really predict whether not taking actions at the right time can make this similar to ENDOSULFAN in future. In order to avoid such incidents from happening in Kerala, it would be better if the authorities took action to ban Milma, so that thousands of lives would be saved.

Kerala Tourism Ad ..COPY CAT ???????

NO, a big NO. The first two creative are created before this ad with lots of Photoshop manipulation but the creative done by Kerala Tourism is just a PHOTOGRAPH and there is no Photoshop image manipulation in that creative. In the first approach lots of people think that its a copy but the real truth is that its a PHOTOGRAPH of Allapuzha backwater and full credits goes the Creative agency of Kerala Tourism, ie Stark Communication, Trivandrum
