Vedam - Analysis & Review


The most expected and awaiting movie for me; first time I saw the movie just a little bit ahead from the second half; but second time able to see the full length. overall movie is up to my expectation and it was again a touching story like Krish's debut movie "Gamyam". Many people say "it is experimental" ,"it is a good movie" and "It is challenging" but my feeling is that it is just director's gut feelings and his moral reasons out his life learnings to educate people. The major scenes which moves any of the audience are "Allu arjun trying to rob the money from the old man", "When old man find his money the expressions and the music" and the final scene "When old man pays back the interest amount and patel leaving the kid". Through out the movie I never see Allu arjun, Anushka, Old man or Manchu manoj but just the characters cable raju, Saroja, Ramulu and Vivek(A Typical aspiring rock star) what else as a director krish wants, its purely a directors movie and its a honest success for him.

The noble intention to re-invent the human in all of us by Krish with his "VEDAM" is great. By looking at the trailer it self many wise people predicted the story;  and yes they are correct ! It was a story of five typical different Indians aspiring for different ways in some other way money is the need for most  of them. But I was seriously thinking about Krish; How he manages to score a hit as it is just second movie. Any body by seeing the Anushka in the trailers thinks that movie is fully commercial but krish never gave up his sensitivity to humanism. Prior to the movie release itself people started gossiping about "Vedam"; that the theme behind the movie was terrorism as like "Gamyam" takes theme of Naxalism. But my feeling is "Vedam" is a movie to re-invent the humanism in humans so theme is "Humanism". The patriotism attached to the climax is to high-light the humanism in my feeling. After watching the Prasthanam my only expectation was on "Vedam" and it will be really great if people really watch this movie with true sense of humanism.

Don't know what life lessons impacted krish in his past? the way he pictures the differences between rich and poor in his movies is simply clear and true reflecting the reality. The dialogues about the death people funeral by Allu arjun clarifies the differences between rich and poor.
And many other dialogues are thought provoking ones.
"Perugu vada lo perugu undi kada ani Pulihora lo puli untadaa ??" this dialogue by arjun to Sage(krish was in that role) sound funny but the meaning behind that has so much depth.

"Basti lo pothe ganta lo ettu taaru ; ade akkada chaste rendu rojulu frig lo unchutaaru, manchi gaa chaavalanna dabbu lo puttali ra .."
And coming to songs, all are good Keeravaani surprised me by writing four songs in this movie, and as usual Seetaa rama sastry sirs songs is having so much depth in his lyrics and it is also good.
"Neetho nuvvu kalahisthu
nityam ninu nuvve gelipisthu
samayam pai chirakalam cheragani santakanni pettu "
........

Again hats-off to Sastry sir.

Kudos to krish and his crew.
Special thanks to Allu arjun and Manchu manoj to make it happen ...
P.S : A guest appearance role can have fights, songs and scenes through out the movie and it has impact on climax scene as well. Then what does a real Guest appearance role means. May be manoj did not even tell his name at climax to arjun as his role is guest role.

Review "Of course I love You....Till I Find Someone Better " - Durjoy Datta Maanvi Ahuja

Review 
"Of course I love You....Till I Find Someone Better " - Durjoy Datta Maanvi Ahuja
I think this was around more than 3 months back, I bought  this book in my regular visiting place "Landmark" - a regular place for brain food. That day I was just going through the racks for new arrivals, happened to see this book in the offers table, title "Of course I love You....Till I Find Someone Better "  fascinated me. Quickly saw the price, about author and one random page. Price is just 100 INR, authors are Indians and brief intro about authors was stunning; they were fresh graduates and don't know how I imagined that, the story might be about the authors and which I still believes. And the other main reason made me by this book was my reading of one random page in this book, which talks about the excitement of the author when he sees mutiple comments for his recent post in this blog. Being a blogger no other thought apart from buying it. 
As like many other books started reading this book only when I got into a train after one month of its purchase date. The ugliest truth is that I am able to finish the whole 232 pages is just today.

Coming to the story it is quite simple and well expected story from a guy who was just a fresh mechanical engineering graduate from a metropolitan city college in the year 2008. I felt it was a realistic story and quite acceptable to imagine that it would have happened from a guy like Deb, who is the hero of the story winking. Deb was a student from a Delhi arts college who was below average at studies but above average at finding or making merry. Deb always tries to find the best out of his girl friends and comes to a situation of saturation and finally finds his wanted love. Deb was a blogger during his college days where in which he express himself with out any fear which ultimately helps in building his own/final career for his life as well as finding the way for his most loved girl friend. 
I really enjoyed the last pages of this novel, especially Deb after coming out of his college and finding the real life with out any of his GFs. The twists before the climax were very simple and light kiss which any body can expect at any point of time as like this climax. Though the mix of romance(Narrating Debs adventures behind the tinted car glasses, just on the regular park benches and also in the old college buildings ) added flavor to the title the original portrait of Deb's character was never overlooked which we can understand and agree by reaching the climax of the book. We will find the Deb like guys frequently in us or at least just around us in terms of running behind the beautiful ladies, helping his close friends in making their love success and finally finsing the truth after practical learnings of life and love towards parents etc. May be I missed some kinda things like alcohol, movies, girl friends in deed sex during my graduation and hence I was not able to enjoy the first few chapters of the book.
Finally this is a book which contains at least one coinciding incident from any engineering graduate life starting from his college life to his final career life. Of course I am not an exception there were many coincidences with my life as well. Though the last line of the books says like-
Imagination seldom runs wild, but when it does, you have a book....wave
still I continue to believe that this is some thing which happened between  Durjoy Datta & Maanvi Ahuja. Any way author it self agreed that it is some how his story by mentioning ... "..all most all those who knew me, now knew me better. Nothing more".
Once again congrats and thanks to both of these great authors who shared their happiness with readers.
Imagination is the best way to full fill our dreams, so to enjoy this book don't forget to imagine yourself. But always day dreamingday dreaming is not good so be aware that it is just your imagination.thumbs up

ETV Dhee 3 - 2010


With the re-entry of jonni master I decided to start new post on ETV D3 ...enjoy maadi. here it is ..
ETV D3 Part 1

30 Dec 09
As expected the ETV managemnted respected the viewers opinions and realized the viewers opinions; finally Jani/Johnny master is back with pratap to show. Though there were poor reasons mentioned for his re-entry we are happy to see jani on stage again. He entered stage by dancing for very famous song "Chinnari ponnari kittaya ..." ; He reminded the comments made by his co participant in the last elimination round which are really invalid. Todays show is so bright with lovely Udhaya bhanu's costumes and his entry with the Welcome song ...

Vivek(Satya's) : He danced very regularly with his routine rocking steps , over all its not quite expected from satya master and his contestetnt Vivek for the song from Billa. Lack of formations
Leelavathi(Sujatha's) - Donga Donga Koncham neeru koncham nippu - chandralekha song: Littile mistakes clearly found though the leelas dance is good.
Satya (Raghu's) Bharateeyudu - Tepparilli poyaka chittemma ... Wonderful formations by the supporting dancers. Really the somersault feet done by the Satya is awesome. Neat and clear composition by Raghu and the boys co-ordination helped the dance.
Pooja (Kapil's) : Musugu veyyoddu ..from Khadgam movie - Very very less formations which very simple even we can see any normal dances. When required for a specific formation round they should really show some thing.
Prem Gopal (Sujaths's) : Sivoham song ...its far better than his previous dances.
 31 Dec 09
Aired on 06 Jan 2010 : Mismatch round
chinna (Sudheer's) : jaanavule .. ninne ninne (Desamuduru) ..regular routine and normal steps nothing special and great in sudheers composition. Never expected it from such a expected coregrapher like sudheer. Keerthi; chinna's partner has excelled at het best but not so pleasing performance.
Kaveri (Raghu's) : Adireti dressu .. (Bharateeyudu). Original song rich look has presented in a mass way by presenting dancew of a cleaning girl. Overall I like the expressions of Kaveri and the dance is not bad.
Prem Gopal (Sujata's) : Tribes dancing for rati ti ti  ..(Shivaji ) song was good and good mesmerizing steps by prem. Only problem is that song and dance are not mismatching. Concept like dance fight between two tribes is good with a final punch at the end. simple but perfect performance.
Pooja (Kapil's) : Aha Kanne chilaka(Kalyana Ramudu - Kamal's movie) a funny old song. Dance was average and expressions was poor. tried for some comedy steps, which proved him a normal choreographer. Once the beat changes the dancers got some scope to show their best. It suits for a funny round not for a mismatch round.
Leelavathi (Sujathas's) : Mayadari sinnodu ..(Devadasu-new)Leelavathi was good did her best as like evry time and some movements and formations are simply fabulous. Good song selection for mismatch round, Every body pleased with this performance. 

07 Jan 2010 
Pratap (Jaani's) : Folk song Tirumala thirupathi venkatesa .. was selected danced with some western styles. Perfect mismatch song and dance. Pratap has done very well but due to the boys mistake everybody annoyed with performance.
Rajeswari(Satya's) : Adi go nartanasala song was danced in folk and non western touch, Rajeswari was not up to her mark may be due to her dress and whole performance is not so pleasing. too clumsy dance with many jumps in the movements, not even masters but also viewers are not happy with rajis dance.
Satya (Raghu's): Paataki pranam (Vasu) was chosen to dance in a most funniest manner with poojari getup and postures. It was really a cool performance with neat steps and good choreographer.
Vivek (Satya's) : Takita tadimi (Saagara sangamam) song was chosen with joker getup but its not a clean dance choreography  may be due to the usage of fart concept. Over all I don't like  this performance though the
Haranath reddy (Kapil's) :Mukkala (Premikudu) song was dance by tiger people... :) puli dance for mukkala song is perfect mismatch song and concept was very clear due to perfect show by Hari. I like it compared to all performances.
Climax : Leelavathi won 10K. Red room discussions and final conclusions/judgments eliminated Pooja.

Aired on March 3 2010 :
After a Long time some what I like this episode though we are missing our favorite dancers and choreographers. This is semi final episode which has only Raghu, Sujatha and Satya masters. Sujatha madam did not attend the show due to some reasons and her daughter- Pooja pranced the show. This time the best thing I like in this is there more than two judges , I never like the one man show which is biased always. This time Tarun, Vrinda and Rekha prakash all together are in the judgment panel.
and coming to episode highlights there 2 rounds one is partner round and another master-contestant round. In the partner round vivek has done for one English album along with Pratap I think, I felt their sync is not so good. Raghu master contestant satya has partnered with Prudvi (winner of D2) and danced very cool and cute. Looks like in the D2 semifinals partner round satya has helped prudvi and now the vice versa. And the best performance I felt is by Leelavathi along with Pooja (Sujata daughter). Her confidence levels very high and grace and ease in the dance is awesome. I like her performance. And coming to master contestant round satya master and vivek has not excelled as expected but the Raghu master and satya combination was  wonderful. Though raghu dominated , satya tried his best to his energy levels. But as whole the best dancer of the episode is Leelavathi. She has done really a great job. awesome performance by her in the final performance. I want Raghu to win the title and leelavathi to be in the finals.
This episode videos can be found at here http://www.mctalkies.com/misc/mc-special/12595-dhee-3-3rd-march-grand-finale-with-allu-arjun.html http://www.mctalkies.com/misc/mc-special/12595-dhee-3-3rd-march-grand-finale-with-allu-arjun.html


D2 Fianls Aired on 10 March 2010:
Today's episode is pranced by  Mr. Perfect Allu Arjun. There are three judges Tarun master, Rekha madam and Brinda madam. Finalists Vivke(Satya master's) and Satyanarayana (Raghu master's) contestants had danced wonderfully up to their energy. Results are never expected. But the Winner is Mr satyanarayana. He is awarded D3 title and 10 lacks (1 Million) money. Raghu proved his challenge he has done in the selections time.

Avatar Vs The Ramayana

Director : James Cameron
Producer : 20th Century Fox
Actors   : Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Zo Saldana etc
Date of release : 18 Dec 2009
Budget : $300,000,000

"AVATAR" the most awaiting film for movie lovers , in other ways the long expecting movie from James Cameron(Titanic movie director). As expected James has excelled in his presentation and narration to full fill his thrust for his dream project AVATAR - " A sci-fi epic". His direction values and technical measures surpasses the all other Film directors till today. The single line review for AVATAR is
"A fabulous sci-fi derived from Indian mythology with a perfect blend of high technical values and ground braking visual effects"
adding to this this is the first film in my life in which I have seen people clapping at THE END as like in a live drama. Definitely AVATAR is a film that leaves you speech less if you analyze.

After almost 15 years I watched a 3D movie "AVATAR" which failed to give the best illusion compared to my first 3D movie I saw. The first 3D movie I watched is "CHOTA CHETAN" (Chinnari chetan in Telugu) which I never forget in my life due to the best impressions it had created in my mind. we know how the technology was used to be 15 years back still CC was best in its 3D effects. I felt AVATAR is not having 3D effects in the last 40 mins of the movie or else theater management failed to project properly ; Don't know the reason for the same.

Coming to story line A retired Marine major starts a mission to occupy a new planet called "Pandora" (lush rain forest environment filled with incredible life forms and vast minerals)which is inhabited place for alliance called Na'vi(A 10 feet human resembling personality with added tail, blue colored skin and fluorescent marks on the face ). In his mission to exploit this planet he creates technology with which a human can be part of the Na'vi and understand and explore the new planet and their culture. That they called AVATAR. Jake is also an Ex-marine who is physically challenged and as replacement for his brother he joins this mission and agrees to be in a AVATAR. On his duty in a AVATAR while he is exploring Pandora he fell in love with a lady Na'vi Neytiri and ultimately when Humans are invading the Pandora he realizes he is also part of that and he fights against Marine and finally he succeeds.

The foremost thing intrigued me about this movie is the fact that "James" got inspired by the Indian mythology and especially "The Ramayana" with which he portrayed few characters and story line in AVATAR.Hence my whole perspective went on like this, I'm least fascinated by the ground breaking graphics or CGI but the interesting points for me is to analyze and correlate the AVATAR with our mythology. As far as I'm concerned the AVATAR is a means of God in human body.

  • The concept of AVATAR by which Jake enters in to Na'vis is some thing like "Parakaya pravesam" concept from Indian mythology.
  • The giant dragon sky birds are inspired from "Jataayu pakshi" and "Garkumanthudu" from The Ramayana.
  • The concept of 10 feet human resembling Na'vis are from "Hanuman" and Ape tribe in The Ramayana, which has lot of physical strength and trust in human race.
  • The battle between Na'vi and marine is some thing like battle between Ravana with so many technical resources and Rama with out any such except the strong force of apes tribe along with Hanuma.
  • The huge machine controlled by man is some thing similar to the powerful daemon like "Kumbakarna" in The Ramayana.
  • The whole Na'vis group is some thing like "Vanaras".
  • The blue colored skin is inspired from Rama description in The Ramayana. 

like this there are many more analogies in Indian minds...

The scintillating objects to rejuvenate the Na'vi body are good looking.With beautiful visual effects and also the high definition colors used for Sky birds are also amazing.

P.S :
When we narrate the whole Ramayana / Mahabaratha to an English man, the points to which he gets fascinated if he believes in the story, those unforgettable or impacting points in his mind helps him in writing his own story keeping these points as major assets. That's how James has made this AVATAR film I suspect.

What ever the reasons people are enjoying this great work .... I too...

Channel Name : ETV

Show name : Dhee - 3( D3 )
Caption : Enjoy maadi
Type : Reality Dance show
Anchor : Udaya Bhanu
Show Time : 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM (Wed and Thurs)
Judges : Rekha Prakash

Satya (Vivek & Rajeswari), Kapil (Harinadh reddy & Pooja ), Johnny (Nagesh & Sailu), Raghu (Kaveri & Satya ), Sudheer (Anusha & Chinna ), Sujata ( Leelavathi & Prem Gopal).

D-For Dance what else to say !! amazing entertainer for Andhrites
These days ETV has own the RANK-1 among all telugu entertainment channels and no doubt is continuing it only due to its successful programs. The best program among the list is again ETV's Dhee. Now it's 3rd PART is running.  Due to this successful show the other telugu entertainment channels also brainstormed and came up with their unique dance reality shows to compete the same time which is 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM. One among them is challenge show in Maa TV. Which is good competitor now. Magadheera show in Zee Telugu was not able to with-stand and compete with these shows.

Coming to D3, anchor remained same ; none other than our beloved Udaya bhanu, though her style and josh remained same still she is managing the show with out loosing any audience. And this time the Judge is again Rekha Prakash but she is alone. This is one great flaw I felt as far as I know any reality show definitely need more than one judge as the decision should be a pleasing for all the audience. Due to one judge in this part Im little worried about her over all judgment. If more than two judges are there definitely the scores will be aggregated and final verdict will be good I felt. But undoubtedly Rekha was legend in dance and most of the times he point out the exact things in performances.I hope Rekha will not disappoint us giving a biased decision in the D3 finals at least.

D3 has some repeated and proved participants like Vivek (won second place in D2) , Harinadh reddy (Won D1 Title) and Rajeswari (Best participant in D1). Due to their too much experience their performances are really amazing with out much mistakes. And the new comers are always fresh and their improvement from episode to episode will definitely thrill all audience. Till now the show was going good except the egoistic arguments between the masters. Due to the proved contents in this show its becoming one side show most of the time like Vivek winning all the hearts in each episode. And Haranadh reddy entry in this D3 is a wrong decision I feel, due to his old history all the masters are not ready to encourage him again. And he should have thought before coming, new faces should be given a chance I feel. Due to the proved dancers the fresh faces are not getting good recognition I feel.

This show in the starting stage annoyed little with useless discussion between Masters while candidate selections and in the initial performances. But now it became more professional.  During the candidates selction time it self there was lot of argument in selecting Vivek and Haranadh. I felt new comers with sudheer are doing really good. Some times Satya master is showing his proud and attitude due to his contestants. And I hope Vivek has more chances to win this D3 Title. Let's wait and watch the exciting shows in Queue.

Hall of fame : 
Johnny (Jani/jony): He has choreographed for some best hits in the past which include - Adivi(RGV's), Rechhipo(Nitin), Arya (Takadimi tom), Drona  etc.

Raghu : His best include Arya2 etc
Satya : Many best stage performances.
Sujata: She worked for around 200 movies.
Kapil : Earlier he is master for all these masters in this show.



Date : 03 Nov 2009
This episode is added more curiosity to the audience with elimination round. The introduced red room concept in which all masters will tell their own views to eliminate one person among all. In this episode Johnny master's Sujata got eliminated due to the bad song and her performance.
And the highlight of this episode was extraordinary Pooja's belly dance.
Date : 09 Dec 2009
This episode is expected, good dance performances by masters and contestants. Really evry body tried their best to garnish the show. Especially Raghu master performance is good and I like. I never expected Johnny will that beautiful performance. And the twist in this episode is harinath reddy has own the best dancer award for this episode and got his 10,000 Rupees cheque. There is one funny incident in this episode, Uday bhanu ws asked "are u married ?" by Rekha prakash the beautiful and comedy answer out of Udaya bhanu was "I am not married". Why anchors say all this crap I never know ! She got married and separated due to some family disputes, every thing was shown in news channels some years back.
Date : 10 Dec 2009
This week, Chinna  - Sudheer master's contestant won 10,000 Rupees for his best performance for the song Mr.Perfect from Arya 2 movie. And the performance by Sujata madam and Prem gopal was awesome for the theme "Wear helmet protect you life". For this show johnny master has literally cried remembering his fried who has died in a motor cycle accident. And as usual the performance by Satya master and Rajeswari for some arabic dance theme Johnny master opposed, but due to Rekha madam words he agreed.  Satya and rajeswari performance for arabic dance is below.



Date :  16 Dec 2009 - Partner round (Episode -13)

Today's episode has the only power of Harinadh reddy, remaing all other dances are very routine and normal. the only contestant who gave really a healthy competition is Leelaavathi by his unique performance. I toally enjoyed both Leela and Hari's performance. Raghu's contestant pooja has performed with her partner Nagneese(Not sure about exact name) has performed yaayire..yaayire..from Rangeela movie very nicely. Looks like Nagneese is Raghu's fiance. Over all show is good and today there was some disturbance in satya masters contestant vivek's performance. As expected Johnny master opposed this incident. But I really appreciate the frankness of Johnny master while expressing his gut feelings and pointing out the mistakes he found. Johnny master has pointed two mistakes done by Satya master - one is stopping the performance for simple reason and the second one is his performance was 6 mins which should not exceed 3 min 45 sec. And coming to Leelavthi performance, it is unique of its kind but it also has the same draw back which is exceeding the given time line. Kapil's contestant Harinadh reddy has come with his partner Sekhar(A classical dancer and his coach) and performed for the song Kannulato chuseti ...guruvaa from Jeans movie in lady getup and gave the illusion of a Kuchipudi dance. The highlight of this performance is the introduction of the song which illuminates the mirror between the partners. As whole harinadh reddy is back to form and he has won 10 K money for todays episode.



Dt  17 Dec 09 's promo :(Janny master hating the judge rekha madam and leaving the show)


Date: Dec 17 2009 : Partners round  Episode 14 
Unlimited entertainment, perfect reality dance show Dhee 3 is supers for this episode. This weeks winner was prem gopal with his unique western dance along with his partner Wong. And coming to the high lights of this episode - Monika partnership with rajeswari and the swaroop(D2 Sekhar master contestant) partnership with chinna. They really performed well and coming to the other interesting part is red room discussion and the elimination. Then today's red room discussion revealed that vivek is to be eliminated only due to wrong behavior by satya. Four people proposed Vivek name. Nagesh(johnny's) name was only proposed by Satya. And Sujata madam contestant Leelavati name also proposed by some people and then pooja name by one. But the final elimination was surprising it was for Nagesh (Johnny master). As like every viewer I'm also totally surprised with the rekha madam judgement. As expected johnny master opposed the judgment and he left the show in unexpected way. My feeling is that this week rekha madam judgment was not well explained and I am not happy with this her justification. If she has 100 % rite to judge then Why the fish? there is red room and why the hell ? they are asking master's opinion. 200 % it is not fair. Vivek got 4 votes and Nagesh got only one vote that to there is no proper reason. If rekha madam is only concerned about only performance , they should not introduce the buzzers and they should not ask masters opinion in red room. I felt really pitty when Johnny explained the judgment issue. If really ETV people are properly organizing this show immediately they should give another chance to johnny and they should change the rules from now on and there should be additional judge along with Rekha madam which will not be biased or one person decision and will be normalized decision.  My kind request to ETV  management is to understand the maximum viewers and be in the top position.

Note : Please add your updates about this show in the comments. and write ur feelings about each episode with out any vulgar or un-parliamentary words . Thanks for all your co-operation.

  • Sound sensitivity is low for Nokia users.(Especially those who used to Music versions of symbion phones they feel very less sound as it is a business phone).
  • Battery back up also low when compared with Nokia phones if you did not change the default settings; but if you enable the screen off setting the battery back up was almost doubled. So its good to go for.
  • Input method is bit difficult for the new users of Touch screen.
  • I felt data transfer rate is slow as compared to other mobiles.
  • It has just basic camera(2 MP) with out flash so don't expect very nice pictures in the dark.
  • No built-in FM.

Wonderful book!!! When I finished reading the book “Who moved my cheese?” the only question in my mind is “Who moved my confidence?”… I Was thinking strongly and deeply for an answer..sure I will find it soon .

First of all I should thank my colleague and friend – Mr.______ for suggesting me this nice book. Yesterday day we both were discussing about the drastic changes happening in our current project. Abrupt effects of recession-2009 in the market made many people laugh at themselves and sob in themselves. It’s not only a question to effected people but also to each individual tied to an organization. Is it the recession caused the abrupt changes in our organization?? Not only me, most of us know the recession effect on any organization is just 10 % but the prime reasons are some thing else. Prime reasons may be-“we are just not ready to accept change”. I feel recession is a change which we never think and now one should act according to it. But I surely admit myself one should be ready to accept CHANGE. That’s what we are seeing now.

May be this is my first review on a book! But I just want to share my feelings about this book rather than a mere review. This is really a nice book; that boosts our confidence and make us ready to run with the CHANGE. Author Spencer Jhonson has done great in selecting the character names as “Sniff”, “Scurry”, “Haw” and “Hem”. As the meanings of these character names itself speaks many things. And his way of representing Happiness with cheese is just wonderful. And the greatest part I like is – Spencor gave real picture of human psychology hence he has chosen Haw and hem as little people and sniff and scurry as mice. He presented his best about attitudes of humans and animals or small creatures in world. In the story mice characters and attitudes are better than little people. Once Haw realized the importance of accepting change in life he started learning lessons in his life just by laughing at himself. Haw character’s intention to help his friend Hem about the the lessons he learned when he is in troubles, and writing all those important quotes on the Maze walls is really interesting and makes us think about sharing things to neighbors.

Once Haw started exploring himself the narration of troubles and start accepting changes really inspires us. Unlike the other pure motivational kind of books this book is unique in his way with a little story lines it motivates any. When I started reading this book I felt its like a tale to kids but its more for Young and adults who really need motivation in the critical times.

When Haw found his old friends the way of hello and greetings make reader pleasant and reminds the value of friendship and hence Haw recollects his past time with hem. And the story ends after drafting the whole essence of Haw’s learning in life on a big cheese pie picture.As whole one should read to get motivated him to understand the need for CHANGE and how to move on with CHANGE. I feel “To make our life better we should move with change”

Last but not the least – The discussion between Rachel, Michel...Etc at some old student re union meet , pictures many facts in real life and their examples related to the characters remind us about our character mapping with the story characters. As Michel said in the story discussion “Some times we are not even aware that we are afraid”. So to get rid of this fact at least we should read this book to know the reality in the life.

And some of my favorite lines from the cheese pictures are as follows...
1. If you do not change... You can become extinct
2. When you stop being afraid you feel good.
3. Imaging yourself enjoying new life leads you to it.
4. Noticing small changes early helps adapt to the bigger changes that are to come
The story is so simple but there is so much philosophy involved in it. One need philosophy not only when he is in bad time but also when he need to grow with change. One will definitely relates his character and identifies himself in the cheese moved situations and how he adapted the changes. That’s the best part of this easy readable and small book.
