some useful books on film making

Image
here is a list of three books on film making which are recommended to be pretty useful to the people related to live action cinema. it's a kind of wishlist for me as well. Concepts in Film Theory By: Dudley Andrew Grammar Of The Film Language By: Daniel Arijon Film Directing Shot by Shot By: Steven D. Katz I am trying to buy these books. I have ordered them online through Junglee which is has some king of association with Amazon. what was really funny that Junglee only works like some kind of search engine to find seller online and gives you the links to compare different seller's prices for the searched product. then asks you to go to buy on seller site. thus one order went Pustak.co.in another to amegabooks.com I really hope these seller deliver as they claim.

Arjun the warrior prince is also finally getting released. I had seen it's earlier promo abo...

Spirituality, illustration and Facebook

Image
facebook wall postings are always full of surprises. apart from daily updates of pets, birthdays and show off pics you get see to some anonymous postings which somebody liked from your friends list. topics of these posts can be very different. here, I am just going to talk about the post which are related to spirituality and have very intriguing visual to support it. this one talks about how your palm has point (buttons) to different body parts. if you press these points (acupuncture) 3-5 seconds it helps or soothes the situation.  this illustration is about 7 centres of energy within the human body termed as kundalini. I think this is a self explanatory diagram.  this beautiful illustration tells about a Hindu temple structure and the scientific reasoning behind it. what is visible from the picture is that a temple also has limbs(spaces) like a living being, each one got its place and importance within ...
