Avatar - Another Masterpeice by James Cameron

At last after such a long gap I m again sitting in front of my laptop to embed some of my thoughts on this new blog. I still remember the day i first watched "Avatar" on my laptop a dvdscr print downloaded from torrents (:D). Wow i enjoyed that movie with all its sci-fi stuff and outer space aliens. Then again, i watched it and then again with my cousins,brothers and i have came to an conclusion that the more i watch it, the more i like it.

   Really great stuff no surprise that Cameron took so many years to produce it. This movie was not just a piece of entertainment for me but also a movie that reignites the flames of my long forgotten dreams. From the beginning i am a great fan of universe, i always thought about the possibilities existing there. What if whole of our universe is just a speck in some other thing like a huge planet like thing having universes like ours in its dust. It fascinates me too just think about it.

   The day i watched avatar closely all of my those thoughts which were lost till now reignited. Again in my hearts depths i can feel that crave to be an astronaut. Wish I could be pursuing aeronautical engineering!!!. But now i am too far from it and to go back in that field i will have to work a lot. I want to work in either field of space or that of defense like in ISRO,HAL,DRDO,NAL. These are one of the world's best research stations. What i hope is that i can contribute in some research to create the space shuttles and vehicles that make these space travel a reality. But let's see what holds in my future.

Hey one thing, did u noticed that kiss between Neytiri and Jake. I cant believe that every species in our universe kisses like we do and other processes of reproduction are same. Somewhat weird for me. It should have happened that they would have joined their Sahelu'es or something else, it  would have been much real.

Another thing that flashed in my mind was its name - Avatar. There is no such name like this in English vocabulary. In fact after some substantive research i  found that it is taken from a Hindi word Avatar which means the descent of a deity from heavens to earth in human form to save people from evils. Now please relate this with the story. In this story we had a avatar of Jake Sully which came in the form of Navi people to Pandora to save them from evils.

   Now, Avatar was having many nice scenes which i would like to share with you but the best scene in my regard was when that space shuttle detaches over that moon and flies into Pandora. Another was when Jake Sully jumps over that river in order to escape from that animal i don't know his name. Another was the view of floating mountains .. Hmmm the Avatar is such an epic that i cant even describe my feelings regarding it in a few pages. I will just say that i will always remember it as an awesome movie having everything from visual effects to story at its best. I am just waiting for that sequel :).

HATS OFF TO JAMES CAMERON

Brain Drain In IITs

IIT (Indian Institute Of Technology) is like the mecca of students of India. As soon as we reach the high school everyone of us is expected to crack IIT-JEE and study there . The IIT's are one of the finest universities in the world having 16 branches all over India. The value of IIT's could be just recognized by the fact that the Parliament of India has declared them as the Institutes of National Importance. All of the best minds of India study in these institutes which are government funded so that the young minds of country don't have to bother about fees. The fees of IITs is about 25000-35000Rs per year which is negligible compared to the resources provided to the students.

Now, the question comes why ? because Indian government thinks that after the students will complete their study, they will repay that amount to the nation by helping in its development. But the statistics say something else. Until 1990, when India was not liberalized, everything was chaos. The situation improved slightly after liberalization but its still a lot of brain drain occurs. The government noticed that a lot of its greatest minds were migrating to developed countries like USA, UK , Australia etc. But the govt. thought OK, its not that bad, they are going to learn further technologies and new concepts which are not available in India.


And we were all happy, yeah our engineers and graduates will learn new advanced stuff and then come back and implement those to help India become developed. But, alas we were wrong. Those graduates found those nations so great that they decided to never come back. They just used our resources and then are now helping those countries. Why? just for few comforts and better life. What about India??? Who cares man!

"Its my life and i have full rights to live it in my way", that's great man but have you ever heard about ethics. Don't you have any responsibilities toward your nation? Just today I was surfing some of finest universities in US like Stanford, MIT, Princeton etc. and i found that major portion of the faculty and students of them were the toppers of IIT's. We say that those institutions are good, the main reason behind that is that faculty and students who migrated from India. Just Imagine for a second the current scenario of India. If all of those had decided to not to remain there forever and come back and be a part of India!!!

            

So what should be done, well its the time govt. should wake up and take some tough decisions.

• First of all we should try to bring our champions back and that is not easy. Those living there are having an awesome lifestyle with all the modern facilities. The time has come when India should improve the lifestyle of its people.

• Second, we should give more incentives and money to them. They are worth that.

• Third, I think should be that there should be law that a person from IIT cannot apply for PR in any country till he has worked at least 5 years for India. This is for the subsidies provided to them by Indian govt.

• Fourth, the parents and family members should never encourage their children about foreign countries. From childhood they should be motivated to work for India.

• Then, in the last i think govt. should encourage some programs and events to lure them back like some events on Brain Drain, patriotic events etc.

I personally think that if it is done then, India can achieve the status of developed rather than developing very soon.
