Poll: Who is your hero?

2006-10-05T13:44:00.000+05:30

Hero - A being of great strength and courage celebrated for bold exploits and often worshipped as a God. Someone who represents the epitome of goodness, nobility and hope in present day culture.

So today's poll question is - Who is your hero?

If you don't have a personal hero, now might be a good time to find one. Think of someone who has characteristics that you admire or wish you had. Your hero may be real, fictional, dead or alive. And to make things less complicated, you can choose more than one hero.

Ramayana Re-Born

2006-09-13T15:33:00.000+05:30

There has been a lot of hype about this new comic, and I can't wait to get my hands on the first issue.

Here's a brief intro:

In an age of desolation and darkness when the world is dying from the curse that men inflicted upon themselves, a great epic shall take place once again. The spawn of the final destruction that decimated earth wills to carve the world to his own soulless image; he is Ravan the master of the half living race of Asuras. His armies marches across the world invading one land after another and poisoning the earth with his vile mechanoids. But there is hope still and it lies in Ayodhya, the last vestige of the race of humans, a gleaming city that boasts the finest of warriors – Kshatriyas. But even Ayodhya has been infected by the evil that spreads across the world like a contagion, and the prime victim is Rama, the first born of the Maharaj or chief councilor of Ayodhya.

By treachery Rama is exiled from his land, but in the course of his travels he finds out the true meaning to his existence: he has to become the scourge of the Asuras and the protector of the daughter of earth. Thus begins Rama's journey across the kingdoms, lands and continents, the quest to retrieve the soul of the planet and cleansing of the world of a malevolent darkness that threatens to engulf it.

Main Characters

Rama

The eldest son of the chief councilor of the great land of Ayodhya (the human’s lone surviving city on Earth), the blue-skinned Rama is born to a warrior code that he’s seemingly never destined to live up to. But when his father dispatches him to a remote outpost that is the subject to a surprise demon attack, Rama’s journey from ad hoc soldier to ultimate warrior begins. But when Rama’s personal code of ethics and morals is challenged, he turns defiant and, then, aloof. Now years later, with the dark forces wantonly wreaking havoc on the remains of the earth, Rama bears the burden of beingits savior. Only he’s not interested. Until Seeta…

Lakshman

Rama's younger brother, Lakshman is a defiant, impulsive, and reckless fighter that longs for the glory of being a war hero. But when war finds Lakshman and his older brother, Lakshman discovers it's not all it's cracked up to be. Now forced to embark on a journey and a mission with Rama who he can't see eye to eye with, Lakshman must reconcile a frontier not defined by the coded morals of the Kshatriya warrior kind and find relevance in a world that seemingly offers little.

Ravan

During the great ‘Mahavinaash', the World War that decimated the earth and its ecosystem, a massive force was unleashed and birthed a being that was the result of an amalgamation of men's most violent weaponry and awry nano-technology all grafted onto a cloned human soul. Unleashed in his fetus stage, eventually his cocoon broke and an entity feeding only on malevolence and death began to emerge. Initially his behavior was erratic, based on instinct, but then with age he started learning.He learned about the new world, the varied species around him that themselves were undergoing a renewed stage of evolution in adapting to their obliterated environment. He learned about his own powers including a strange phenomenon called techno-magic that made him almost invulnerable and able to spread influence in his surroundings. And then he started experimenting and mating with various creatures, spawning his brood. In his own image he created a lethal and monstrous race, the Asuras, which thrived on death and destruction. He is known as Ravan, the dark lord of the savage Asura demons.

This is the first public opinion poll on my blog. I am a little car crazy and I wanted to know:

If you have the oppurtunity to own any car, which car would it be and what color?

I have been listening to a lot of his songs these days. So I thought of making a mock album cover for Kanye's next album, which will be releasing later this year. Hope you like it Mr. West.

In 2006, West is nominated for 8 awards, tied for the most with Mariah Carey and West's own protege, John Legend. His nominations include:
* Album of the Year, for Late Registration
* Record of the Year, for "Gold Digger" (ft. Jamie Foxx)
* Best Rap Album, for Late Registration
* Best Rap Solo Performance
* Best R&B Song, for "Unbreakable"
* Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, for "Heard 'Em Say" (ft. Adam Levine) (Great Song this!)
* Best Rap Song, for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" (from Late Registration)

Inspiration: Pirelli Calendar 2006

2006-01-12T00:25:00.000+05:30

For over a period of more than 30 years the Pirelli Calendars have shaken the media world with their audacity, innovation and spectacular imagery. The Calendar was very much a product of the cultural revolution which inspired a new sensuality, a new appreciation of the female form and, above all, an urgent need to break taboos.

Kobe Scores 62

2005-12-22T19:20:00.000+05:30

Note: There will always be posts that do not conform to the general rule of my blog. Some posts may deviate from the original theme. This post is one of those exceptions.

Tuesday night at the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant scored 62 points, a career-high, and that too in only three quarters!

It makes me sad because I couldn't catch the game live. The reason: EspnStar Sports felt that Cricket Classics was a more important broadcast at the time. But nevermind that, why am I cribbing about EspnStar Sports, I should be happy now. Atleast I'm able to watch EspnStar at home. Pune cable-wallahs are useless.
Anyway, back to Kobe. A few stats, Kobe bhaisaab scored 15 points in the first quarter, 17 in the second, and a franchise-record 30 in the third before getting back on the bench for good with the Lakers leading 95-61. They were playing Dallas. 15+17+30 = 62! He was beating the Mavs single-handedly. Also, I wonder why the Mavs are still wearing those ugly away jerseys. Kobe is the next player to reach 60 points since Phili's Allen Iverson, who scored 60 points against the Orlando Magic last February (I think).
Now, I eagerly await Saturday for this week's NBA Action. No better way to start the Holiday season.

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
