Vikram Sarabhai community science center

I went to this place, which I should have visited and used for my education years back. but anyway, it happend today on the last day of year 2006.

the center is just amazing, kids can learn many things hands on. they have labs for each science stream, they have lab for even Mathematics. they astronomy club.

and they have a library where books are just dying. I checked out one book today, it was last checked out in year 1998, and before that 1981. thats how we use such a nice place.

But such places gives me hope, that atleast part of Ahmedabad is doing some good work. In the era of mall, and where people are just shopping shopping, we have some good things going.

There another place called science city, that place is also good place to visit, if you are a kid interested in science, well kids are alway interested in exciting things. here they have science models on display to explain science principles.

Lets hope we get more centers like this, and we can support them financially also.

Best movie of year 2006 "Dor"

Movie Dor directed and written by Nagesh Kukoonoor in my view is the best movie of the year 2006. Because its not a remake of any old movie, its not an unnecessary sequel of any movie nor it is inspired by any hollywood movie. Plain, simple and above all it is very original, made in India movie.

It has beautiful darkness of Himachal and refreshing brightness of Rajsthan dessert. All the artists in the movie have performed extremely well. The direction, the dialogues and the silence in the last scene are just perfect.

We need more movies like this. No kid jumped from the roof after seeing this movie which happened after Krrish (Pathetic movie) and no youth broke his leg after driving bike like Dhoom-2 movie (pathetic movie).

Well Munnabhai part 2 was fantastic, and gave really good message, but anyway.

I will put Dor where we put classics of hindi cinema.

Orkut

I opened my account in Orkut after accidentally came to know that now world is staying in touch with more open medium.

I opened the account for just hack of it, and then realized people have created their smart accounts and scrapping here and there absolutely openly.

I find it absolutely funny when I see some profile over there at orkut. Most of them have written about themselves. They have written about theri passion, and books and movies, food likings.

I wonder when they write whom do they talk to. Why would you like to tell the whole world about yourself. I guess our "friends" know us well enough, and strangers need not to worry about our preferences.

Its funny for me. Even this blog writing, its like I am writing it for myself, and at the back of my mind hoping for some comments from unknown. I think these are ways to satisfy our ego.

But at the end I think its all exciting, and its like broadening your reach, your thoughts. Its like I am more naked now in front of the world. Strangers can find out about where I live and what kind food I would prefer if I visit those strangers.
