Cinema Paradiso

This is such a difficult film to describe in words because all of it is heartfelt emotion. This is a movie about the magic of the movies. It manipulates your perception of reality, suspends your disbelief, and ultimately either alter or affirm your view on life. It is the near-perfect blending of direction, acting, script, sound track, and cinematography. Ennio Morriconne's music is charming throughout, always totally in keeping with the images on screen and the intentions of the story.

Perhaps it was with this in mind that Tornatore made his modern masterpiece. Whatever the reason, the result is a beautifully nostalgic, utterly heart wrenching romantic waltz. Cinema Paradiso is almost certainly the most emotionally engaging film about a love of film ever made.

SYnergy

Synergy: The combination of factors which each multiply the effects of the other(s) rather than merely adding to them.

In simple words, synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts. I've always been awestruck by this idea since i came across of it from Stephen Covey - 7 Effective habits, its like the holy grail to perpetual perfection.

It might seem like a very natural thing...there is synergy in every creation of nature...in life. But at the same time if we look into the cutural & socio-economic society there is so much of void, chaos & entropy. We have everything rampant from Capitalism Vs Communism, Democracy Vs Anarchy/Feudalism/Imperialism, Adhocracy Vs Bureaucrazy, Altrusim Vs Egoism, Science Vs Religion, Poverty Vs Aristocracy & the list goes on & on...by generalizing we could broadly classify them as Basic universal problems Vs Cross-sectoral problems.

What could/should/would this world be? If all of us could/should/would have a commom goal or an agenda & allow ourselves to be enpowered by synergy...

DVORAK V/s QWERTY

Here, is an interesting read;

The efficiency experts August Dvorak and William Dealey patented the Dvorak typewriter keyboard on May 12, 1936 (Patent No. 2,040,248) also called as the simplified keyboard. They tried to increase typists' speed by placing the most common letters on the home row and where the stronger fingers of the hands could do most of the work. The QWERTY keyboard, which you're probably using right now, was actually designed to slow typists down. (On old typewriters, speed would cause jammed keys.)
