A little insane – I know!!! I would like to think it was the typhoid that scrambled my brains but seriously forgetting my age is well something I’m not THAT surprised by. I found an internetty thing that tells you your age based on your dob. I am so happy!! I am 27 – not 28 like I’ve been telling people.I have not been so happy in a long time.
Hollywood has its genres – romantic comedy, action – but indian movies have just one style BOLLYWOOD. Okay, I might sound like I’m being a downer but actually the movies coming out now are bollywood are great. The cinematography is really amazing both in terms of location, set and in interesting editing techniques. The music is, as always, great.We also demand a lot out of the bollywood plot line – we want to love, laugh, CRY, feel passion, hate and it should end with us feeling happy and satisfied with the emotional journey when we leave the cinema.Anyways, My Name is Khan delivers on all of the above and its a good satisfying cathartic movie. I LOVE Kajol. She is such an amazing actress and even though I find Shahruh Khan such a loveable actor he just isn’t even on the same leauge as her.Probably the only bad thing is that Kajol is so good she should be in serious movies. And that’s one thing that can’t happen in a Bollywood movie – you just can’t get too serious. You can’t have characters that are ambigious, multiple view point or a really a complex analysis of a situation.Or at least not yet. But eventually Bollywood movie watching audiences will get more savvy and sophisticated and demand even more.I’m eating a Haneefia burger now with cottage cheese. So excited!
Good: Biryani and rita eaten even though its one of my least favorite Pakisatni foods.Bad: Urdu play, for Japan, about Hiroshima. Moral of the story? Listen to your mother in law. Also do not sit on the imaginary kid you were holding. It will make people laugh.Good: Enola Gray – London Fields – Martin Amis. I might reconsider this author I love to hate.Bad: Cramps.Good: Connections that hopefully come through. Getting shit done.
I have been recently seeing a lot of examples of crowd sourcing.That is for example:
- Ad copy
- Community project Mostly it seems like its being used for brands as a marketing tool / viral / we are so hip and cutting edge tool.Here are some things I’m will think about regarding crowd sourcing as I drive home tonight:
- What are the key elements that actually make people interested in participating in this? For me personally, I’ve experimented with ConceptFeedback. I guess I like giving my feedback because I feel I know something about effective design. Yet as someone who doesn’t design myself; there isn’t a whole lot to keep me coming back to the site.
I remember Natasha saying once that when she was young her dream was to have an audience that would just listen to whatever she said.I really thought that was cute and funny. I DO not think any real person should actually have that power.Especially when you are going to talk about soap bubbles.Ok – I’m tired and my ability to be coherent is limited.
