Castle : The end

You hear it often enough : Go out on a high. Quit while you still got it. Get out before you ruin it. Well somebody really needed to say this to Castle's makers. What started out as a cute, adorable come thrilling crime detective show sure didn't deserve such a tasteless ending. It was one of ABC's good ones. Charming and am-all-about-the-story novelist, not to mention cute as a button too, topped by Hot tough cop with baggage and unstoppable thirst of justice and their earnest lil team. Unlike the other detective shows, The way they approached and solved each crime was almost always relatable to the audience and always managed to tell a story too. Add the spice of the evident attraction between the too and ta da ! you have a winner.

Let's face it, the show's storyline started taking a hit after Beckett's mother's murder was solved. The writers didn't seem to have a clue where to take it anymore. They tried to go the #Mentalist way. They started out by trying shoe Beckett's rise by making her join the FBI, that didn't work out. Then came the angry Captain angle and then Castle just went missing and forgets two months of his life and finally the biggest debacle of them all : LockSat. This was the worst of the plots and personally, half the time I was like screw LockSat, what is it anyway? They slowly tried to build the season towards the exposure of the men behind LockSat : the-know-it-all-spy. But the season was too weak from the very beginning. Heavy reliance on the new characters and nothing new on the plate. But believe me when I say, nothing's worse than its end. If you haven't already watched it, my suggestion would be to stay away and remember Castle for what it represented and not the tragic way it ended.

For those of you miserable lot, who just can't let it go, here's the brief summary of the very last episode :

Becket and Vikram get a lead on LockSat and seek Caleb B, the lawyer's help to break this case wide open. Turns out it was a trap and the Caleb is already dead. Beckett & Castle are almost caught when from out of nowhere comes an old spy-friend of Castle's dad and rescues them and disappears saying that's all the help he can give. The duo decide to head out of the country and lay low as their cover was clearly blown. Predictably, Beckett ends up getting another clue and goes back on her promise to back off. Castle realizes this and tries to join forces, however ends up being kidnapped and tortured by Loksat's hitman. Meanwhile, Old man spy guy develops a conscience and calls Beckette in and decides to help her cause. Loksat revealed himself to a helpless, tortured Castle and guess who that is ? The very old man, who was their savior early on. Turns out there's no story there, just some guy trying to protect his business. He orders him to be killed, while announcing that he is on the way to take out Beckett. Beckett figures out half way through about his motives and has the most insulting and tiniest of fights with him and BAMM!! old man is dead on the floor. Case closed,without any revelations, story or closure for any one. Vikram announces the end of LockSat and we're like, yeah right!

Castle and Beckett goes back to their place while others go for drinks. Castle is still puzzled as of why the old man burned Caleb B's body out in a car when he could do so at his office's incinerator? At that very moment walks in an alive Caleb ! He shoots Castle and Beckett, however she manages to shoot him too. They lay together ,bleeding out. 

There is a tiny epilogue sorta thing : "Seven Years later", Castle and Beckett are happily sitting and sipping tea with a bunch of kids. Looking peaceful and content.

Well there you go, what do make of that?

Deepika Padukone on Her Battle With Depression

This moving interview with India's much loved starlet: Deepika Padukone is very moving and worth a share. Another reason to love this talented young woman. I am sure many people would identify with it and come forward to face the stigma. The statistics are alarming: apparently 36% of India is depressed. The highlight of the discussion is that there is no shame in seeking help, as its just another ailment. Also another point that striked me was that when kept in dark, depressed people can go on living their life with this burden, with hard and harder days and never go on to hit their full potential at all.
 Here's hoping each one of you take something away from this interview and under the transformational change that lifts you to the best version of yourself.

Know Yourself

To some of us answers come easily as things fall into their place and the Jigsaw makes sense soon enough. Others need a tiny nudge to clear the haze in the road and figure out the path to embark on. Its a good thing that there are geeks out there, who're committed to make life easier for others. Myer & Briggs did us a similar favor: "MBTI Test" I always thought of myself us an out and out 'Extrovert' but then started questioning my judgement when I noticed traits contrasting my beliefs. Myer & Briggs have come out with an instrument to classify individuals into 16 personality types based on:

•  Extroversion Vs Introversion
•  Feeling Vs Thinking
•  Perceptive Vs Judging
•  Intuition Vs Sensing

This test not only helps us identify our personality, but also helps us identify the type of career we'd excel in. So if you're confused (as I was) then be sure to check this test out before you start googling Career Counselors near you!

Miracle Child

Yeah I believe. No, I am not a believer in God per se.  I do believe in miracles. The possibility that there is a teeny tiny push/hope on the other side of which we see happiness. People are so very practical, cynical mostly, having a back up plan formulated, an approved plan B. I found it strange, amusing even. Why think of the possibility of your dear idea falling short at all? I push and push till I get it done with original plan alone, sometimes barely by an inch, puffing and sweating,but still! It took quite some time for me to realise that I am the strange one here. It was the matress of luck that saved me from the fall till now, I finally realised. When it run out, I couldnt see where I had ended up. But the touch of the unforgiving cold surface of concrete screamed unmistakeably. Contingency plans are long overdue, I suppose!

Lessons (Part 1)

There are two kinds of people out there: one who logically figure out things and approach the most practical solution and there are those who just refuse to read the memo. Falling in the second category can be a real problem. As you tend to try and work against the odds 4/10 times. You'd be trying to push the boat into the water, had you the big picture, you'd see how hopelessly anchored it is to the shore. Following a rule book and knowing the expected results is healthy, you'd always have an edge( or lose the anchor). I know, we've all heard it before. But really, yeah! You'd know if you'd pay a lil more attention to the traditional sayings you heard while growing up. Don't go poking your nose were it don't belong, meaning? trespassers will be prosecuted! Even if it is for someone's good, don't! Unless of course you are an immediate stake holder. Because you'll be hanged with a consolation dialogue ( something about your heart being in the right place. .) and the show goes on. There is no visible change of course, that stuff doesn't happen real life. Nothing has changed except of course every thing.

Ramblings

Once again that shade touches the surface, 

Once again it targets the abandoned and weak 

Just when the sun was reaching the horizon, 

The clouds come screaming leaving her chances bleak. 

Is it just a stranger passing by 

Or is it a stamp with a permanent hold? 

What does it seek this time from the broken whole? 

Tired, resigned to her fate, 

She begs for the ultimate end 

To be consumed fully 

Or to be left on her own to fend 

Be it the eternal peace of death 

Or the reality of life 

She awaits at the door for a dash of condolence   

the pain seems part and parcel of her existence 

Soon this too shall pass and spring shall bloom once more 

But what use are dark clouds if they don't deliver life to the pheasant, poor? 

Persistence, not alone happiness has charm profound 

Unstable rogue's unraveled tale brings joy to few of those found 

She seeks the end or the very beginning 

With these riddles restless is her very being.

•  "Googol" was the spelling they actually intended, but fate had other ideas. :)
• “I feel lucky” is a unused feature at the google page. However its retained for the 'google experience' on demand.

Dont believe my points? Go Google it!!

iPhone 5 vs HTC One

 Intro
Metal phones are in fashion, and it’s largely down to the popularity of two of the year’s best mobiles – the HTC One and the iPhone 5.
However, aside from being made of the cold, hard, shiny stuff, these are completely different phones. But which is right for you? We’ve compared their vital statistics to help you find out, from what they look like and how they sound to what they're like to use and how fast they can go...
HTC One vs iPhone 5 - Design
HTC One – Aluminium rear and front, plastic side strip, 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3mm, 143g
iPhone 5 – Unibody aluminium shell, 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm, 112g
The HTC One and iPhone 5 are the two highest-profile aluminium phones of the year so far. Metal is in.
However, their looks and feel are quite different. The HTC One is a much larger phone, at around 15mm wider than the iPhone. This will make quite a difference if you have smaller hands.
The HTC One - slim, but not super-slim
Ergonomics are completely different too. The iPhone 5 is a super-slim rectangle that doesn’t shy away from severe edges. The HTC One’s rear is a curved plate of aluminium, giving the phone a much softer feel.
It does leave the HTC significantly thicker than the iPhone 5 – 9.3mm thick against 7.6mm – but the HTC One never feels chunky. Large? Sure, but not chunky.
The sheer size of the HTC One, which makes the 4-inch iPhone 5 look petite, ensures that it’s a fair bit weightier. It’s 31g heavier, but what’s notable here is not how heavy the HTC One feels, but how light the iPhone 5 is. Almost unnervingly so.
The HTC One is the only one of this pair to use any plastic in its construction. There’s a strip of white plastic (or black in the black version) that runs around the phone’s outside edge. It's a bit of a dirt magnet, but doesn't reduce the strength of the body.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Internal Speaker
HTC One – Stereo speakers, front-facing
iPhone 5 – Mono speaker, fires out of bottom of phone
Speakers are an often-neglected part of mobile gadgets – even though they’re used pretty frequently. The iPhone 5 has a decent-quality speaker for its size, offering reasonable treble fidelity for a phone. In standard Apple fashion, there’s a decent baseline experience on offer here.
However, the speaker is still pretty limited. The sound fires from the bottom of the phone, through two grilles that sit to either side of the Lightning port, but the sound comes from a simple mono driver.
Why two grilles for a single speaker? It makes the sound much harder to muffle, which becomes particularly important if you’re playing games or watching a movie – holding the phone in landscape orientation.
The HTC One is a cut above. It uses a pair of user-facing speakers mounted to the front of the phone. They fire through the little dotty grille cut into the area above and below the screen.
This combo offers much better bass, more meaty sound and higher volume than almost any other phone out there at the moment. If anything, we found that the lowest volume was a little too high at times, rather than there not being enough on tap.
The HTC One also has a Beats mode, which tailors the sound for the small speaker, making it sound richer and more refined. It does this (in part) by cutting the mid frequencies, which give small speakers like this an 'ugly' edge.
Of course, it’s still nowhere near good enough to consider a ‘mini hi-fi’ if you want to use your phone as a music source – let’s not get carried away here, folks. For kitchen listening though – especially for podcasts or the radio – it’s great.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Screen
HTC One – 4.7-inch 1080p IPS screen
iPhone 5 – 4-inch 1,136 x 640-pixel IPS screen
A comparison of the screens of the HTC One and iPhone 5 is a case of weighing up similarities and differences. Most obvious of all, the HTC One screen is significantly larger than the iPhone 5’s.
It is 4.7 inches across where the iPhone 5’s is a 4-incher. As we find with so many of this year’s top-end Android phones, the HTC One makes the iPhone 5 seem a bit toy-like in its small size. This instantly makes HTC’s phone better to watch videos on.
Their resolutions are also completely different. The HTC One’s display is one of the most pixel-packed we’ve ever seen. It has a 1080p screen like the Samsung Galaxy S4, but as it’s packed into a smaller space than that 5-inch phone, it’s even sharper. Pixel density is a staggering 469ppi.
We thought the iPhone 5’s 326ppi 1,136 x 640 display was impressive, but HTC takes it to the next level. There is an argument to be made that density beyond the iPhone 5’s is a bit pointless as you can’t tell the difference in sharpness, but the HTC One’s screen is more immediately impressive, for multiple reasons.
Both phones use the same screen type – IPS. This is an excellent panel type for phones, offering great viewing angles, fairly natural colours and decent contrast.
The iPhone 5 and 4S, side-by-side
These are two of our favourite mobile phone screens. But for adding those extra screen inches without any sense of sacrificing sharpness, the HTC One gets our vote.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Storage
HTC One – 32/64GB, non-expandable
iPhone 5 – 16/32/64GB, non-expandable
Over the last few years, HTC has ticked off a few old-school Android fans – it was one of the companies that started cutting out memory card slots from its phones. The HTC One carries on that trend. If you want expandable memory you’ll have to look to the Galaxy S4.
As a seriously high-end phone, HTC has sensibly made 32GB the lowest storage option for the HTC One – slap a few videos on a 16GB phone and you’ll soon find its memory eaten up. There’s also a 64GB version of the HTC One, however it comes at a frankly scary premium. You’re looking at around £700.
iPhones never have, and perhaps never will, offer memory card slots. The iPhone 5 is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB editions. Much like the HTC One, the range tops out at £700 - whic is how much the 64GB model costs SIM-free.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – CPU and Power
HTC One – Quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Krait, 2GB RAM
iPhone 5 – Dual-core 1.2GHz Apple A6, 1GB RAM
Looking at the specs alone, the HTC One appears to be much, much more powerful. It has a quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 CPU using the up-to-date Krait architecture. The iPhone 5 has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with the, admittedly also pretty darn new, Cortex-A15 architecture.
The HTC One has double the RAM, 2GB instead of 1GB.
In theory, the HTC One should squish the iPhone 5 in between its curvy aluminium fingers. It’s not quite so simple, though.
In the Sunspider benchmark, which is roughly a test of how fast a device can render webpages, the iPhone 5 significantly outperforms the HTC One. It completes the test in around 900ms, where it takes the HTC One closer to 1400ms. Much of this is down to software optimisation.
Geekbench, which is a much wider test of a gadget’s performance, shows results closer to those we’d expect to see. The HTC One comes out with 2719 points, the iPhone 5 1612 points.
The HTC One is a more powerful phone, with a generation’s worth of spec upgrades. However, Android's less taut system design and a seeming slight lack of optimisation on HTC’s part seems to hold the HTC One back a tiny bit – the Samsung Galaxy S4 shows stronger performance than the iPhone 5 across the board.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Software
HTC One – Android 4.2 with HTC Sense
iPhone 5 – iOS 6, iOS7 incoming
The HTC One saw HTC debut a brand new version of its long-standing Sense Android interface. And it has a new look.
It’s pared-back and simple – and pretty stylish compared with the older version. BlinkFeed takes centre stage. This is a home screen that shows you recent updates from your favourite websites in a scrolling feed of tiles. The various widgets are also starker and simpler than ever before. It’s a good effort from HTC.
HTC's BlinkFeed
The iPhone 5’s software currently looks more-or-less like it always has. However, that’s all due to change in just a few short months.
iOS 7 gives the iPhone operating system a complete visual overhaul. Some say it looks a bit like Android – some say that’s a bad thing – but it adds a bunch of useful features, including a camera app that has a good deal more to it – such as filters.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Camera
HTC One – 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera with LED flash
iPhone 5 – 8-megapixel camera with LED flash
The iPhone 5 camera was a minor upgrade to its predecessor, the iPhone 4S. It uses a re-worked lens construction that helps the camera fit into the phone’s ultra-slim body. It is a great camera, capable of making some great shots in good lighting.
Periphery features you get with the iPhone 5’s iOS 6 camera app include HDR mode, which melds two exposures to render more detail in any given scene – especially those with tricky lighting – and the panorama mode. The iPhone panorama is particularly impressive, as it captures at full resolution rather than at cut-down quality like many other phones.
An iPhone 5 test shot
The HTC One offers many, many more features, though, and takes a much more dynamic approach to its camera technology. As well as HDR and panorama, the HTC One brings oodles of features and effects, Zoe mode, HDR video and more.
What’s far more notable is how its sensor works. The strategy of the HTC One's UltraPixel tech is to use a sensor roughly the same size as the current top dogs, but to have fewer, larger photo sensor pixels. These are able to harvest more light in the same exposure time as rivals.
An HTC One test shot
The real-life result of this is that the HTC One takes far, far better low-light shots than an iPhone 5. In bright daylight, though, the iPhone 5 will capture far more detail. Four megapixels only get you so far.

HTC One vs iPhone 5 – Verdict
The HTC One is a bolder, more dynamic phone than the iPhone 5. It takes more risks with its camera, software and design than the iPhone – not that Apple’s latest really needed to innovate dramatically to draw a crowd. The HTC is also far better for movie-watching thanks to its much larger screen. If there was ever a phone to tempt Apple fans away from their beloved iPhones, this is it. That Android doesn’t have as good as apps or games selection as iOS ensures the iPhone 5 keeps the lead in some respects, though. By

Nameless

Often in the wake of a pleasant day,
I feel myself drifting away,
Into the wilderness I venture,
Searching for what I wonder?
The pull I feel has to have a source,
As I recount the currents of the unsettling force.

Facing minute chores I frown,
How to get through or drown?
How many chose the easier path,
Than rather stay, fight and adapt?

How to fully cherish the now,
When it slips away without a vow,
Joy and sorrow
Is no ones to actually borrow,
Emotions are pretty illusions,
Another shade in the kaledeoscope of notions.

As I twist, turn and scrape for an answer,
My eye catches the tick-tock of the clock upon the drawer,
What I seek is what I can't keep,
Grab onto it but watch it slip away,
Like sand from between my fingers,
Each granule unique, lost forever.

It is of course the fourth dimension,
The very moment is the direction,
Where it leads is the future,
What it leaves is the past,
Treasure it while it lasts.

So when you feel the tug,
Of the restless bug,
Brush it off with a smile,
As it will be dealt with in its mile.

String of emotions

I have always known myself to be sentimental. On contrary to the belief, that the way you are raised and the environment and people around you define your ways, I have only rebelled. I suspect that man's belief in the other side being greener,is behind it. Born to a Man devoted to serve his country,my childhood is scattered across the nation. Many places,as many schools and a different hub of people every time. Even as a child I knew that these conditions would stimuli any kid to a detached lifestyle and no sense of loss at the parting of the old,but only the jubilant feeling associated with the possibilities laying ahead. Yes, the world is my oyestor and yeah I'll probably make it anywhere. But the same can't be said about the range of my emotions. The sentimental value I hold towards the people and things in my life, is a big part of who I am. Today, a lot is said and less is actually felt. People don't care about their folks and loved ones beyond a certain boundary. A sudden surprise gun shot in the street, and guess how many will try to pull out their loved one out of harms way? You'll find most of them frantically ducking for self preservation. That's just the way things are. Happily ever after ain't forever anymore, but a matter of years or even months. Friendships are short-lived and relationships are meaningless. In such a ambiance, there is little scope for black or white honesty and sentimentality. If you think you know a person,double check if you honestly do? The results can be alarming. I for one, have seen it time and again that trust is over rated.

A date to remember

It's 3 am on a special day. It's the twelfth day, of the twelfth month of 2012. It's extremely rare. You get to witness something like this only once in your lifetime. So am thinking, it ought to mean something right? Isn't it supposed to made count off? I would like to believe so. Yup, that says a lot about the type of person I am. I tend to look for deeper connect. Am kinda obsessed. I look for signs everywhere, which I agree is completely weird for an atheist. You think I have it bad? Well at times I still believe am the one who gets the splash of the very first drop of rain, each time.

So in order to satisfy my persistent need of making something different of the day that today is,I resort to this blog post! (Which no one would probably ever read :-) ) . Writing random thoughts and hoping that I read this for years to come, with a smile on my face and a shake of the head.

Rubbish

Good was white,wrong was black
This was life an age aback
Shades of gray surround her now
Delusion is her mind's mo

Thoughts are either in the past
Or dreaming of the future unseen
Present goes unnoticed
Slipping out like a thief

When will the eye see whats in front?
Instead of what it hopes or dreads?
The undo button on life
Is a much needed invention

Every day she fights to take control
Of what she let astray
She knows much time is lost
But come what may
Lethargy is too big an enemy to keep at bay

Every moment seems a struggle
Every minute another fight
She takes another step
She knows she treading on thin ice

Now or never
She tells herself again
But she can already feel her resolve fading
She'll stand up someday
Whenever that may
But as of now
The shore seems far far away

Matters of the dark

I tell myself again, relax, breathe, sleep! But no! What is it about the night that gets to me? I have often heard and read about how people have a hard time turning a blind eye on their problems, in the light of the day.whilst easily ignoring those pains in the something comfort of the dark. But I obviously don't work that way. My Gran often teases my habits saying they're clocked to some other time zone. I just laugh it off. But the silence of the night screams to me, it speaks volumes! As a child this used to scare me, and for a long time I seriously believed that something was secretly wrong with me. (Oh don't worry,Insanity confirmed) may a nights,a scared little girl stayed awake and cried in bed, begging God to let her fall asleep like the rest of the wonderful snoring people. But alas.

But she learned with time that everything we believe isn't necessarily true and that we can choose what we want to believe in. This was refreshing and conventions and traditions broke. She realized sleep isn't the important thing, peace of mind is.
But Gran still scares me, she insists all this lack of sleep is bound to catch up on, sometime.
For now, all's well.
Dedicated to all the insomniacs out there!!

Eternally damsel in distress

Happiness is what makes life livable. When times are too hard and nights are too cold, one holds onto his cherished moments, like a thirsty man hanging on every drop of water in a merciless desert. Every dark cloud has a silver lining right? But sometimes people dwell too much into the negative. One gets sucked in by the notion that when nothing is going right it's just better to sit and not do anything at all. Just let it be, yeah? Let the events unfold, however they may. One ends up taking a back seat in his own life. It's just like handing over the direction of the movie called "my life" to some random stranger on the street, called "fate". For a while it's a joy ride. Enjoy the pop corn, get tanned maybe.! But the funny thing is, sooner or later U'll end up making a grab for the steering wheel. Will it tamed that easily ? One wonders.

Decisions that where once obvious once after now blurred and screwed up to its very limit. One hesitates as to the most tiniest things and believe me it isn't easy. Imagine a spontaneous person losing it all of a sudden. Turning to people around him for a clue as per how to proceed? The worst thing, is that whichever path he chooses, he wouldn't be satisfied. He'll be snacking on and talking about some confused loser in the neighbourhood and all of a sudden, he'll be like, oh am soo him! It ain't no pretty site.

Love : self destructive sweet pain.

  They say it's the most wonderful emotion in the world. To love and be loved is what every person ultimately needs for a long and healthy life. Often we want different things at different times. As time passes, we lose track of our old desires, but some things never change. And love for her is among those.  

   As a child,she realized she was too arrogant ,too hot headed and stubborn to ever land the Prince charming the fairytales promised the lovely and gentle maidens. And realized dreams will have to do it. But the hope persisted on in some dark corner, patiently.

   As luck would have it, when the opportunity presented itself, it was nothing like the stuff dreams where made off, but she grabbed onto it with both her hands firm. Like the alter ego of every girl, she too believed herself lucky to have found the guy. Days turned to months and months to years and she realized this is changing her life and she threw herself into it wholeheartedly, foolishly believing the forever notion from her dreams. She was radiant with the new found love and eager to dream more. She was living her dream and nothing else mattered.

   When the turn came out of nowhere, she suddenly found herself at the bottom of a ditch that seemed to be never-ending. He was gone. The ruthless monster was onto his new interest and a shiny new toy to showcase to his friends. That's when she started seeing past the delusional fog.

   She desperately tried to hold onto her bearings but couldn't. She cried fowl aloud in a voiceless scream.
   Slowly she's trying to climb over the wall that separates her and the happy people. She tells me she'll date to dream again,i ask her why? Don't fancy another chance at this kinda mess,iwarn her.But why does she still dream of love? Is it just a self destructive strategy or is it sane in some unknown dimension.?

   As she keeps descending down this lane, she can't help but question the very basis of our beliefs. What goes around, comes around sang Justin Timberlake, echoing the popular belief of paying for one's doing. She is yet to wake up to such a fair day. And she can see now that whoever said life isn't fair, knew what he was talking about.

   She really does want to believe in the power of karma. What one sows he should reap right? The girl hopes atLeast this holds and some day in the future, it'll be made even. Everything will be fine then, she says, her eyes staring into the moonless night.

Can someone tell me what this device is?

It looks like a miniature mouse. Has no buttons though. Has a small light inside. When I googled it,it didnt hit anything! I connected to my lap and it auto-installed some kinda driver. But then,nothing!! HELP!!

Lost

Have you ever had a feeling that your not in the moment?  Not fully participial in whatever is going on? Ever had that haze separate you from the rest of the world? Well that is my situation at the moment. I dunno what is going on,time is flying and I feel each grain of sand going down the slope of the hourglass. But am helpless, and i watch it slide away to meet its end. I know its time i got up  and put an end to this. But lethargy is creeping at me up and strong. Its so much easier to give into the darkness. I know I've decisions to make, stuff to figure out, and that am yet to embark on the journey that would change my life. But its like it doesnt even matter. I dunno if anyone would relate to this situation. Shit,i dont even know if its normal. But the point is, that time and again I find myself drifting into this space, where I curl up and lose sense of reality. And even the most pressing issues are damned to hell. I can see people extending their hands,trying to pull me back, but I turn around and walk the other way.

Last time I felt like this,i screwed up a lot of things, including my board exams,ha! now that is something that wont ever go away. I dont wanna do something similar again. But its hard to hold onto reality when its uglier than sewage. My mind's spinning, when did my perfect world turn upside down? In a blink of an eye you lose what you thought you'd always have. And no matter what you do,it ends up being used against you. It sucks completely. Thats when you once again feel the darkness creep up again. Just like Venom creeps on Spiderman, its got a feel good vibe to it and all you have to do is lay back and enjoy the ride. So why not? Who could resist it,huh?

So thats what am doing these days. Its kinda like being under the influence of some drug,but I wouldnt know much about that. Yup,basically slogging it out. But every once in a while i feel like stepping out and putting myself out there. Unfortunately its a short-lived notion. Lets see how long I remain like this, an egg has to crack sooner or later, rite? In this case,probably later though,hmmm.

Taking a Seminar

A seminar is a sequential presentation of a specific predetermined topic, based on quantitative research and study. Its a commonly used term and a concept that has integrated itself to almost all fields a man is engaged in. The most vital step into a good presentation is the choice of topic. This step makes or breaks your seminar presentation.

  A good topic will be one with well defined meaning, decision and analysis. Often topics opted by a huge number of people will be the most apt. A good topic will help the respective person decide his course of action, mode of obtaining information and discussing and concluding.

  If one wants to conduct a seminar successfully then he has to choose a global topic and attract attention of the crowd. Often we speak will about things that actually matter to us.i.e things that we actually love come out brighter and stronger and cause more impact. Therefore one should choose a topic which fascinates them, then his curiosity and deep interest will translate to the audience and invoke steering response. Thus will motivate the audience as well. Motivation is obviously one of the most stimulating advantages of attending a seminar.

   The choice of topic largely depends on the source of information. The topic in question must be popular, with a history of successful presentations in the past. The likely chances of a seminar being success is almost 100% if its had success in the past. If people are willing to pay to attend you're seminar then you know you got what it takes .

  In today's world, time is at premium . People are willing to pay handsomely for easier and guaranteed delivery of relevant information.  So we need to consider this at time of presentation of the seminar.

The topic we decide upon should have a laser beam focus. It should be clear what portion audience your aiming your focus at. You should be clear if your target is a certain age group or a gender etc.this will help you to concentrate more on your presentation and as well as make the whole experience a lot more rewarding. In such scenarios its always advisable to plan aspect wise.

Marketing ones seminars are very important. Various information collection methods are sampling, surveying etc. Also it should be kept in mind that people attend seminars to grab benefits and marketing should be based on this idea.

All in all, seminar its rightly defined by the wikipedia as " a form of  instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization."
