Batman Fan!

A Jobless Day at Office

As per my previous post this was supposd to be my next post title, but would you mind if I told you that I fooled you? Actually its not that I wanted to, but just that I felt my present state is not right to put a blog post about my work. It needs some sedimentation. Its kindof stirred, not being a guy who has serious loads of experience I doubt if the sedimentation I want will ever occur? Atleast from many others' opinion it will remained stirred forever. Now this reminds me of something, a post I saw somewhere, it was in some way motivating, given the fact that it is good to know that you are not alone. The post read like this,

"Do you know there is an association for people who hate their job??  
..
..
..
Its called 'Everyone'! "

Somehow at this very instant of time it seems to make sense.

Where did we start and we are we at present?
In life, I believe at times it is good to take a break, to pause, to think, to introspect. Ok no more "Gyan" I'm sure you got the idea!

Apart from the more philosophical things, that line makes more sense in the current situation. We started with Batman and now we are lost.

So, it all began when one day in office we had a meeting with the CEO of our company(He is still my CEO!) and that day was very special, it was the day before release of TDKR. people who follow batman would know what it means, for the others, its The Dark Knight Rises. It was one of the most anticipated movies of the decade, I can remember a guy next to me saying that. Just to make my background regarding this topic clear, well I had missed the bus for The Dark Knight. Yes, when the whole world was celebrating Joker and the death of Heath Ledgr, it was nothing but news to me. As a matter of fact, even when all my friends went for TDKR, I skipped it just like that! But it was then that I thought that even I used to be a batman fan once...

Once..

When I was a kid, and yes I am one of those kids in the 90's. I used to have Cartoon Network at home and yes, my childhood was awesome.

Bruce Wayne was an idol for me. It was one of those cartoons I used to love. And yes, I knew who Joker was, so I thought I'd give 'The Dark Knight' a try. Well, I tried and realised that this was one of the movies I had seen bits and pieces of, while randomly surfing through TV channels, in HBO. Trust me when I say, at that time I had no idea who Mr. Nolam, who Mr. Bale is, and so on. But after watching the whole movie I fell in love with it.

And it is one of those wierd traits of my character, I takes me so much of effort to sit and watch a movie, but if I love it, I watch the scenes of the movie, a thousand times and for no specific reason. So it was, in Aug, 2012 'The Dark Knight' I kept on watching the movie everyday without getting bored. But after that month, batman fever in me died down and I stopped as I had more serious issues in life to take care of.

May, 2013.

This again is a period which I do not wish to classify as good or bad. Lets just say that I had time to watch 'The Dark Knight Rises'. Not impressed. Nothing can beat 'The Dark Knight'

Quora is invading our lives. Quora, quora everywhere. Atleast in office where everything is blocked except Linkedin and Quora. Quora is more fun than Linkedin. So I came across this article while randomly surfing Quora about TDKR. It was about some flaws in the movie and all. No, I won't be explaining all the flaws in this post. For that you have Quora.

But maybe to just justify, I can say about one flaw I remember. The robbers at the stock exchange get into the tunnel when it is broad daylight. Then batman comes and when they emerge, its dark everywhere. Maybe the tunnel was 100 miles long. But again you may say, what if there was daylight at 5:30pm and it suddently became dark at 5:45 pm and all, well go check that article out, it had some more explanation.

So now where was I, ya so after I saw that post, I felt that I had not properly seen the full movie, but skipped some scenes and saw it here and there. Finally one fine saturday morning, I sat and watched the full movie, I was impressed. Atleast the part where Bruce gets back to life and the ending where Alfred sees Bruce and Selina having coffee. Nowadays I'm watching scenes where Bruce makes his first appearance. And must say Christian Bale has done a fanatstic job as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Doing this alone wont make me call myself a batman fan, but now I've started watching the old Batman Beyond series even. The one with the new Batman and Bruce Wayne as an old guy. Yea that! In addition to that, I have started watching videos of the game Batman:Arkham City and all, which was kindof boring.

Ok title justified, so I think this article also should come to an abrupt ending.
Take care folks..
And my next post would also be coming soon...carry the necessary armour required for protection!

Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

How Flickr Did It Right

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
