The Dark Knight Rises - Reasons to not watch it - (Grapes are sour)

The Dark Knight Rises - Reasons to not watch it.

1. Because you liked the movie Dark Knight so much that, you  think watching this will ruin it for you.
2. Because you were a lazy bum who wasted his/her  weekend 
3. Because you already know the climax . This one is good!
4. Month end. Lets see the movie in the first week.
5. You did not see Inception till it was finally out on DVD and you want to continue this fine tradition.
6. You think 4 stars in Times of India is actually just two after all even Ready (Salman Khan one) gets fours stars.

When less is more.

Image : Is from the internet. Do not have any rights for the same.

Possibility is a wonderful word. As Oscar Pistorious runs, he symbolizes what hard word potential and a leap of faith can achieve. All this requires money of course, but it requires something more. It requires a attitude of making the best of what you have.

What I call as to less is more. We are so negative in our approach that we don't realize as to how many possibilities we miss. Let us be humble but thirsty for glory. Lets be inspired, lets do more. 

Blink -

Book Review: What I learnt in Blink.

We think out in stress situations and take decisions quickly, we use out instinct, our gut feeling and that takes care of multiple of situations and creates opportunities for us to expand our decision making in the right direction. We have no logic for it. No explanation for it. But we just know it.  And we are correct in our instincts.

But we can go wrong. We can fall for our biases. So while we take care of decisions biases are to be watched.

You take Blink decisions when you have too much information. Too much critical inputs coming in. You need experience for this. You need practice for this and you need teamwork for this.

You take normal thought out decisions when you have a single judgement to make. You think it over and weigh the pros and cons.

Sounds contradictory. But it does work.
