The same day is also celebrated as New year in several other parts of India such as Punjab (Baisakhi), Assam (Bihu), Tulu Nadu region in Karnataka where it is known as Bisu as well as in Tamil Nadu. The festival marks the first day of Malayalam Year and falls in the month of Medam (April – May). Vishu generally falls on April 14 of the Gregorian calendar. This occasion signifies the Sun's transit to the zodiac - Mesha Raasi (first zodiac sign) as per Indian astrological calculations and astronomically represents the vernal equinox. "Vishu" in Sanskrit means "equal". Therefore Vishu is more probably denoting one of the equinox days. Although Vishu (first of Medam) is the astrological new year day of Kerala, the official Malayalam new year falls on the first month of Chingam (August - September). However, 1st of Chingam has no significance either astrologically or astronomically. Chingam is the harvest season in Kerala and southern parts of coastal Karnataka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For Orkut India&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/wp-content/uploads/orkut-india.jpg" width="80" height="80" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-vishu.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjdBzKI5nYs/Sdx2TMqTwaI/AAAAAAAABxw/hP_ssl52Sm0/s400/happy+vishu+animation.gif" width="400" height="300" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

The film, directed by an NRI director, has been having issues for a while now.&lt;br /&gt;Malayalam actor Thilakan, who was supposed to be a part of Dam 999, was made to drop out of it due to his battle with AMMA. However the problem seemed solved when he was replaced by Rajat Kapoor and Thilakan was paid seven lakhs as compensation. Now, the film has hit a standstill again. Actress Tulip Joshi, who was to play the female lead in the movie, walked out of the sets due to some differences between her and the unit. When she decided to come back, members of the FEFKA refused to work with her.&lt;br /&gt;Looks like Dam 999's problems are far from over, doesn't it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-7340471003483738886?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/7340471003483738886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-in-soup.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7340471003483738886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7340471003483738886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-in-soup.html' title='Dam 999 in a soup'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-7007058729783947557</id><published>2010-04-07T12:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T12:32:02.549-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trailer'/><title type='text'>Dam 999 Trailer</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Enjoy Dam 999 Trailer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-movie.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Back to Dam 999 main page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E3LokH-Xc80&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E3LokH-Xc80&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-7007058729783947557?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/7007058729783947557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-trailer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7007058729783947557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7007058729783947557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-trailer.html' title='Dam 999 Trailer'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-4040310852383841426</id><published>2010-04-07T12:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T12:35:01.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Dam 999 Movie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Also Read&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-in-soup.html"&gt;Dam 999 in a soup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/dam-999-trailer.html"&gt;Dam 999 trailer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;DAM 999 an International Movie by the Mariners, directed by Sohan Roy, has started shooting at Alleppey. An emotional thriller, the film is based on the ancient concept of `navarasas’ or the nine human expressions, represented by an assortment of actors from India and Hollywood. Movie also portrays the concepts of Ayurveda as well as lost love in the backdrop of a sound story of a dilapidated colonial dam.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Director's Note&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Dam 999 is an emotional thriller. It is inspired by many real life incidents. Through this film I want to convey the psychological stress every individual experiences by restricting one’s feelings and desires. One cannot go on for long without expressing one’s feelings. Like a pressure mounted DAM, concealed emotions will explode at some point of time. Words are not enough to convey the aftermaths of this outburst. The audience will relate to the symbolic representation of a DAM across everyone’s mind. In a very simple way,&lt;br /&gt;Dam 999 is a story of nine characters and their emotions. The lives of all the nine characters revolve around the central edifice, the pressure mounted DAM.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cast&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rajit Kapur&lt;/i&gt; - This acting maestro dons the role of Executive Engineer. The engineer is the personification of Navarasa as his character assumes the shades of each rasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ashish Vidyarthi&lt;/i&gt; - The national award winning actor Ashish Vidyarthi plays Duari, the antagonist in the movie. Bheebatsa is the rasa of the foe, the rasa that symbolizes disgust and aversion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Linda Arsenio&lt;/i&gt; - The audacious and heroic mood of Veera rasa is portrayed by the character Sandra, a clued-in TV journalist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Joshua Fredric&lt;/i&gt; - He plays Captain Fredrick Brown, a tongue-in-cheek Anglo-Indian mariner, an epitome of Hasya, the rasa of mirth and fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jaala Pickering&lt;/i&gt; - Jaala is Maria in DAM 999, Freddy's invalid sister who is confined to her home. A picture of Bhayanaka rasa, Maria characterizes fear, doom and despair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tulip Josh&lt;/i&gt;i - The sensuous and seductive Tulip Joshi is Raziya, Freddy's wife, in DAM999.

His friends at a comic book store told him that if anyone did become a superhero, they would get their ass kicked. Lizewski fails at his first attempt to fight crime, he is beaten, stabbed, and hit by a car. He convinces paramedics to say nothing of his costume and pretends he was brought in naked. In hospital for several weeks he is left with metal holding his bones together which he says looks like Wolverine. He has also suffered nerve damage which gives him an above average ability to take a beating. When he returns to school his longtime crush, Katie Deauxma, seems more interested in him. His friends explain she thinks he is gay and wants to take care of him. Lizewski goes along with this in an effort to spend time with her. Lizewski remains undeterred by his earlier setback, and ends up intervening in a gang fight outside a diner. Dressed in costume and using two modified night-sticks, he fights off three men. As the fight ends, a man who has been recording the event on his phone, asks Dave who he is, and he replies: "I'm Kick-Ass". The video is posted on the internet and soon becomes an internet phenomenon, making Kick-Ass a star overnight.&lt;br /&gt;As Kick-Ass, Lizewski sets up a MySpace account, so people can contact him for help and is overwhelmed with responses. While spending time with Katie she admits she was being harassed by a lowlife drug dealer, and Lizewski convinces her to ask Kick-Ass for help. He investigates and ends up in an apartment full of violent lowlifes who try to kill him. He is rescued by a costumed, sword-wielding young girl named Hit-Girl, who kills all the attackers and then leaves to join her father, whose alias is Big Daddy. Hit-Girl jumps across the rooftops and tells Kick-Ass to follow her but he is afraid to jump, so they leave without him. Later Kick-Ass is visited at home by Hit-Girl and Big Daddy who have tracked him from his MySpace account. Hit-Girl and Big Daddy inform Kick-Ass that they can work together, and should he need help then he should set his MySpace status to "on vacation" and they will arrange a visit.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile local crime syndicate leader Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) hears of the deaths of many of his men, with many people believing that the new star, Kick-Ass, is responsible. In searching for Kick-Ass, D'Amico kills an impersonator who he believes is actually Kick-Ass. Running out of ideas, his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) offers a new idea. His idea involves him becoming the new superhero Red Mist, and enticing Kick-Ass into meeting him. At first, Red Mist attempts to lead Kick-Ass to a warehouse to be killed. They arrive at the warehouse to find it is on fire, and the men are dead. Red Mist retrieves secret surveillance footage and it is clear that Kick-Ass is not responsible for the attacks. Red Mist asks Kick-Ass to call upon the help of Hit-Girl and Big Daddy, and they arrange to meet at a safe house. Red Mist has led his father's gang right to them. As soon as they arrive, Hit-Girl is sitting on a window ledge and Red Mist shoots her, propelling her out of the window and on to the floor below. Kick-Ass and Big Daddy are captured and taken to a warehouse where the gangsters stage an internet broadcast where they intend to unmask and execute the heroes. Severely beaten and about to be set on fire, the lights are shot out and Hit-Girl starts a gun battle, killing off the villains, but a fire starts and Big Daddy is badly burnt. Before the battle concludes, he ends up dying of his injuries. Kick-Ass tries to convince Hit-Girl to quit but she is determined not to allow the death of her mother and father to be in vain and makes one last assault on the headquarters of Frank D'Amico.&lt;br /&gt;Hit-Girl enters the building D'Amico is situated in and while posing as a lost schoolgirl, quickly disposes of the guards on the ground floor and moves to the elevator (where she suits up). Upon arrival, she quickly disposes of the majority of the guards, but runs out of ammunition and is forced to take cover in D'Amico's kitchen. Not willing to risk their lives with a direct confrontation with Hit-Girl, one of the henchmen grabs a bazooka stolen from Big Daddy's safe house earlier and prepares to fire, just as Kick-Ass shows up from outside the hotel with a jetpack with two Gatling guns, and opens fire on the henchmen (This is the first time Kick-Ass kills someone). After disposing of them, Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl move into D'Amico's office, and two separate fights ensue between Kick-Ass and Red Mist, and Hit-Girl and Frank D'Amico. While Kick-Ass and Red Mist fight until they knock each other out, Hit-Girl is overwhelmed by an older and stronger D'Amico. As D'Amico is about to shoot Hit-Girl, Kick-Ass appears with the bazooka from earlier and blasts D'Amico out the window, where he explodes in mid-air. Red Mist recovers and grabs his father's sword only to discover that Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl are already leaving. They tell each other their names and say goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;Both Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass retire from crime fighting, with Hit-Girl living a normal life and attending the same school as Lizewski. Another wave of superheroes have been inspired by his exploits. Red Mist is shown donning a new mask and swearing vengeance, saying "Wait 'til they get a load of me".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-2243907240908196114?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/2243907240908196114/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/kick-ass-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2243907240908196114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2243907240908196114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/04/kick-ass-storyline.html' title='Kick-Ass Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-1391441085783227835</id><published>2010-03-30T23:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-30T23:29:42.668-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Clash Of The Titans Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 292px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/80/Clashofthetitansremakeposter1.jpg/200px-Clashofthetitansremakeposter1.jpg" border="0" alt="Clash Of The Titans Storyline" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ancient Greek times, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against the gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;MORE DETAILED STORY SOON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-1391441085783227835?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/1391441085783227835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/clash-of-titans-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/1391441085783227835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/1391441085783227835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/clash-of-titans-storyline.html' title='Clash Of The Titans Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-799862091826511216</id><published>2010-03-30T04:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-30T04:12:02.150-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Legion Movie Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 259px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f3/Legion_poster.jpg/200px-Legion_poster.jpg" border="0" alt="Legion Movie Storyline" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Archangel Michael (Bettany) falls to Earth in Los Angeles, cuts off his wings, and raids a police arsenal for a cache of automatic weapons. Confronted by two LAPD officers, one becomes possessed and kills the other. Michael kills the possessed cop and steals his car.&lt;br /&gt;Most of the remainder of the story takes place in a small roadside diner and garage in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Its semi-permanent residents are the diner's owner, Bob Hanson (Quaid), his son Jeep (Black), the short-order cook Percy (Charles S. Dutton) and the waitress, Charlie (Palicki). Charlie is pregnant with an absentee father's child, and Jeep has always loved her, though he is afraid to say so. Also present are a single father on his way to L.A., Kyle (Tyrese Gibson), and an urban married couple, Howard and Sandra Anderson (Jon Tenney and Kate Walsh), and their rebellious teenage daughter, Audrey (Willa Holland), who have been temporarily stranded at the diner after their car has broken down.&lt;br /&gt;Soon after, an old woman arrives and tells Charlie that her baby is going to burn. Enraged, Charlie leaves before the old woman taunts Howard and Sandra, thus setting Howard off into a rage but the old woman bites him in the neck. She climbs up the ceiling and knocks out Bob, though Kyle shoots her with his pistol that he was hiding. Later, they try to hurry Howard away via car though are forced to go back after passing through a fly swarm. When they return later Michael arrives.&lt;br /&gt;God has lost faith in humankind so he sends down his angels to kill all of mankind. First an ice cream van arrives, with the driver being possessed. Then later a large convoy of cars with possessed passengers. They fight them all off though one of them drags Howard away. Later, Sandra finds Howard crucified upside down with many fatal boils, Sandra tries to save him but his boils pop resulting in his death, and the death of Percy, who grabs Sandra to save her. Afterwards, the Archangel Gabriel is sent down by God to kill the inhabitants of the diner, when the other angels fail, as Charlie's baby is deemed to be the saviour of mankind. When Gabriel reaches the diner, Michael gives Jeep the keys to the police cruiser he arrived in, urging them to take it to escape. Gabriel and Michael fight, and Gabriel wins, stabbing Michael through the chest with his mace.&lt;br /&gt;Then he sees the dying Bob, who lights a flame to the diner's gas main, blowing up the diner and destroying the remaining possessed. However, Gabriel survives, and swoops down on the fleeing car. As he tries to reach Charlie, Jeep slams on the brakes, sending the car into a crash that pitches Gabriel out. Gabriel finally corners Jeep, Charlie and her baby in the mountains. He is about to kill them, when Michael appears, fully angelic again. His refusal to give up on mankind, including sacrificing his own life, has convinced God to change His mind and give humanity another chance. At this point, a surprised Gabriel is wounded when Michael runs him through with a blade. Gabriel flies off, leaving Michael and Jeep alone. After a brief conversation, Michael flies off, leaving Jeep to collect Charley and the baby and move on.&lt;br /&gt;The film begins and ends with the same monologue by Charlie: telling how her mother's view of God changed while Charlie was a child, from a loving and merciful God to a stern and unforgiving one. When the young Charlie asked why He had changed, her mother said, "I don't know. Maybe He was just tired of all the bullshit."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) is an intellectual, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) is still alive.

Shrek insists that an ogre as king is a bad idea and that there has to be someone else for the job. Before dying, Harold tells Shrek that there is another heir: his nephew, Arthur Pendragon (Justin Timberlake). Shrek, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) set out to retrieve Arthur. As they're sailing away, Fiona announces to Shrek that she is pregnant. Shrek begins having nightmares about his future children.&lt;br /&gt;The trio journey to Worcestershire Academy, an elite boarding school, where they discover that Arthur ("Artie", as he prefers to be called) is a scrawny 16-year old underachiever picked on by everyone.&lt;br /&gt;At the school pep rally Shrek tells Artie he's going to be king of Far Far Away. Artie is excited until Donkey and Puss inadvertently scare him by talking about the responsibilities of being king while they're sailing home. Panicked, Artie tries to take control of the ship and crashes it on an island where they meet Artie's retired wizard teacher, Merlin (Eric Idle).&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, a vengeful Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) has gone to the Poison Apple tavern, where he encounters fairy tale villains including Captain Hook (Ian McShane), the Evil Queen (Susanne Blakeslee), a Cyclops (Mark Valley), Rumpelstiltskin (Conrad Vernon), Mabel the Ugly Stepsister (talk show host Regis Philbin), the Headless Horseman (Conrad Vernon), Stromboli the Puppet Master (Chris Miller), and an assortment of outlaws, black knights, pirates, malevolent trees, and witches. Although they initially despise Charming, he persuades them to fight for their "happily ever after".&lt;br /&gt;Charming and the other villains invade the kingdom and attack the castle. They capture Gingerbread Man (Conrad Vernon), Pinocchio (Cody Cameron), The Big Bad Wolf (Aron Warner), and The Three Little Pigs (Cameron), Dragon, and Donkey and Dragon's children. Fiona and Lilian (Julie Andrews) try escaping along with Doris the Ugly Stepsister (Larry King), Cinderella (Amy Sedaris), Snow White (Amy Poehler), Sleeping Beauty (Cheri Oteri) and Rapunzel (Maya Rudolph); the ladies are captured when Rapunzel betrays them because she is in love with Charming.&lt;br /&gt;Captain Hook and his pirates track Shrek and company to Merlin's island, where they attempt to capture Shrek and kill the others. Shrek and Artie send the villains running, but not before Hook mentions Charming and the takeover of Far Far Away. Concerned for his wife and future children, Shrek urges Artie to return to the safety of Worcestershire. However, Artie cons Merlin into coming out of retirement long enough to use his magic to send them all to Far Far Away; the spell works, but accidentally causes Puss and Donkey to switch bodies. They find Charming bent on revenge against Shrek for 'stealing' his "happily ever after," and learn that he plans to kill Shrek in a play that night. Charming's men arrive shortly, but Artie tricks the knights into not taking them into custody. They break into the castle during rehearsals for the play. In Charming's dressing room, Shrek menaces Charming but Charming summons his men, who take the four captive.&lt;br /&gt;Charming prepares to kill Artie, believing he's the next king. To save Artie's life, Shrek tells Charming that Artie was just a pawn to take his place as King of Far Far Away. Charming believes Shrek and decides not to kill Artie, who runs away. Donkey and Puss are imprisoned with Fiona and the other ladies, where Fiona grows frustrated with their lack of initiative. Queen Lilian smashes the stone wall of the prison by head butting the walls. While the women launch a rescue mission for Shrek, Donkey and Puss free Gingy, Pinocchio, the wolf and pigs, Dragon, and the Dronkeys. They encounter Artie, and Puss and Donkey explain to him that Shrek lied so Charming wouldn't kill him.&lt;br /&gt;Charming stages a musical theatrical performance in which he rides to rescue Rapunzel in a (fake) tower. The chained Shrek wins the audience's support by ridiculing Charming's acting. Just as Charming is about to kill Shrek, Princess Fiona and her friends, along with Puss, Donkey and the fairy tale characters confront the villains. However, the villains outnumber the heroes and regain control of the situation. Artie arrives and convinces the villains to turn over a new leaf.&lt;br /&gt;Charming, furious at being thwarted, lunges for Artie with his sword. Shrek blocks the blow and Charming lunges at him. He informs Charming that he missed and that he needs to keep looking for his own happily ever after. As Shrek pushes Charming aside, Dragon knocks over Rapunzel's tower. Charming is killed when the tower lands him as he utters his last word (which is "Mommy"). With Charming dead, Shrek tells Artie that the throne is his if he wants it. Artie chooses to become king. While the kingdom celebrates, Merlin restores Puss and Donkey to their proper bodies, accidentally switching their tails. Shrek retires with Fiona to their swamp, becoming the parents of ogre triplets.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-8117981295967779876?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/8117981295967779876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-third-storyline_07.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8117981295967779876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8117981295967779876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-third-storyline_07.html' title='SHREK THE THIRD Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-749324595483333861</id><published>2010-03-07T04:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T04:13:45.894-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>SHREK 2 Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 293px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Shrek_2_Poster.png" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) and Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz) come back from their honeymoon, they find an invitation to a royal ball with Fiona's parents to celebrate their marriage, an event Shrek is reluctant to participate in. Fiona talks him into it, and along with Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), they travel to the kingdom of Far Far Away. They meet Fiona's parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian (voiced by John Cleese and Julie Andrews), who are surprised and repulsed by Fiona's choice of husband (particularly the King himself), since they had arranged that Prince Charming rescue her from the castle but now they see that her husband is an ogre.&lt;br /&gt;At a shared meal, Shrek and Harold get into a heated argument over how Shrek and Fiona will raise their family, and Fiona, disgusted at Shrek and her father's behavior, locks herself away in her room that evening, where she meets her Fairy Godmother (voiced by Jennifer Saunders), who is also surprised at Fiona's new looks. Shrek worries that he has lost his true love, particularly after finding her childhood diary and reading that she was once infatuated with Prince Charming (voiced by Rupert Everett).&lt;br /&gt;King Harold is accosted by the Fairy Godmother and Charming, her son. The two retell the Prince's adventures and how he overcame many obstacles and climbed a high tower in order to rescue Fiona, finding instead a cross-dressing wolf. They reprimand Harold for breaking an old promise that Charming would be able to marry Fiona and demand that he find a way to get rid of Shrek. While Shrek read Fiona's diary and find many words of "Mrs. Fiona Charming", Harold arranges for Shrek and Donkey to join him on a fictitious hunting trip, which really is a trap to lure the two into the hands of an assassin, Puss in Boots (voiced by Antonio Banderas).&lt;br /&gt;When Fiona realizes that Shrek left, she asks her father for help, but he replies that he always wanted the best for her and that she should better think about what is the best for her, too. Puss is unable to defeat Shrek and, revealing that he was paid by Harold, asks to come along as a way to make amends. The three sneak into the Fairy Godmother's potion factory and steal a "Happily Ever After" potion that Shrek believes will restore Fiona's love for him.&lt;br /&gt;Shrek and Donkey both drink the potion and fall into a deep sleep, awakening the next morning to discover its effects: Shrek is now a handsome human, while Donkey has turned into a stallion. In order to make the change permanent, Shrek must kiss Fiona by midnight. He, Donkey, and Puss return to the castle to discover that the potion has also transformed Fiona back into her former, human self. However, the Fairy Godmother, having learned of the potion's theft, intercepts Shrek and sends Charming to pose as him and win her love. At the Fairy Godmother's urging, Shrek leaves the castle, believing that the best way to make Fiona happy is to let her go.&lt;br /&gt;To ensure that Fiona falls in love with Charming, the Fairy Godmother gives Harold a love potion to put into Fiona's tea. But Harold replies that it's not possible to make his daughter fall in love in this way. This exchange is overheard by Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, who are soon arrested by the royal guards and thrown into a dungeon. While the royal ball begins, several of Shrek's friends band together to free the trio and create a gigantic gingerbread man (whose name is Mongo), which breaks through the castle's defenses so Shrek can stop Charming from kissing Fiona, but Mongo is presumably killed when his arms break and he falls into the moat with Gingy devastated. Shrek finds he is too late to stop them; instead of falling in love with Charming, though, Fiona knocks him out with a headbutt. Harold reveals that he never gave Fiona the love potion, whereupon the Fairy Godmother attacks Shrek. In the ensuing melee, a spell from her wand, presumably to kill Shrek, rebounds off Harold's armor, when he commits self-sacrifice to save Shrek, and disintegrates the Fairy Godmother; it also returns Harold to his true form, that of the Frog Prince. Lilian had been the princess who kissed him and turned him into a human.&lt;br /&gt;As the clock strikes midnight, Shrek and Fiona let the potion's effects wear off and they revert to their ogre selves, while Donkey changes back as well. Harold gives his blessing to the marriage and apologizes for his earlier behavior; the party resumes and the credits begin as they sing "Livin' La Vida Loca". They are interrupted by a brief after-party scene in which the Dragon, who had romanced Donkey in the first film, arrives and reveals that they now have several dragon-donkey hybrid, or "Dronkey", babies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-749324595483333861?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/749324595483333861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-2-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/749324595483333861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/749324595483333861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-2-storyline.html' title='SHREK 2 Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-3179737574263424991</id><published>2010-03-07T04:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T04:12:05.562-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>SHREK Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 289px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/39/Shrek.jpg/200px-Shrek.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shrek (Mike Myers), a green ogre that has always enjoyed living in peaceful solitude in his swamp, finds his life disrupted when numerous fairytale beings, including Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs, and Donkey (Eddie Murphy), are forced into the swamp by order of Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), who is obsessed by many things, including having a perfectly clean and normal realm and his short size.&lt;br /&gt;Shrek decides to travel the country to see Farquaad to try to regain his privacy, with Donkey tagging along. Meanwhile, Farquaad tortures the Gingerbread Man into revealing the whereabouts of the remaining fairytale creatures until his guards rush in with an object Farquaad has been searching for: the Magic Mirror. The Mirror tells him that Farquaad technically isn't a king and doesn't become one until he marries a princess. The Mirror gives him three princesses to choose from including Cinderella, Snow White, and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz). Farquaad chooses Fiona and silences the Mirror before he can mention "the little thing that happens at night". The two make it to Farquaad's palace in Duloc, where they find themselves in the midst of a tournament; the winner will have the "privilege" of attempting to rescue Fiona from a castle surrounded by lava and protected by a fire-breathing dragon so that Farquaad may marry her. Shrek and Donkey easily beat the other knights, and Farquaad agrees to remove the fairytale creatures from the swamp if Shrek goes on to rescue Fiona.&lt;br /&gt;Shrek and Donkey travel to the castle and split up to find Fiona. Donkey encounters the dragon and sweet-talks the beast to save himself before discovering that the dragon is female. Dragon takes a liking to Donkey and carries him to her chambers. When Shrek finds Fiona, she is appalled at his lack of romanticism. As they are leaving, Shrek manages to save Donkey, caught in Dragon's tender love, and causing her to become irate, chasing Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey out of the castle. At first, Fiona is thrilled to be rescued but quickly becomes disappointed when she finds out that Shrek is an ogre. The three make their return journey to Farquaad's palace, with Shrek and Fiona finding they have more in common with each other along the way, and falling in love. However, at night, Fiona refuses to camp with them, taking shelter in a nearby cave until morning. Shrek and Donkey stay awake and watch the stars while Shrek informs Donkey that he plans to build a wall around his swamp when he returns. When Donkey persists as to why Shrek would do this, Shrek tells him that everyone judges him before they know him, therefore he is better off alone.&lt;br /&gt;The next night, Fiona takes shelter in a nearby windmill. When Donkey hears strange noises coming from the windmill, he finds Fiona has turned into an ogress. Fiona explains she was cursed as a child and turns into an ogre every night, which is why she was locked away in the castle, and that only a kiss from her true love will return her to her proper form. Shrek, about to confess his feelings for Fiona, overhears part of their conversation, and misinterprets her disgust at her transformation into an "ugly beast" to be disgusted with him. Fiona makes Donkey promise not to tell Shrek about the spell, vowing to do it herself, but when the next morning comes, Shrek has brought Lord Farquaad to Fiona. The two return to the castle, while a hurt Shrek returns to the now-vacated swamp.&lt;br /&gt;Shrek finds that despite his privacy, he is miserable and misses Fiona. Donkey shows up to tell him that Fiona will be getting married shortly, urging Shrek into action to gain Fiona's true love. They are able to travel to Duloc quickly thanks to Dragon, who had escaped her confines and followed Donkey. They interrupt the wedding before Farquaad can kiss Fiona, but not before the sun sets, which causes Fiona to turn into an ogress in front of everyone. While her transformation causes Shrek to fully understand what he overheard at the windmill. Farquaad, disgusted over the change, orders Shrek killed and Fiona imprisoned, but Dragon bursts in and devours Farquaad. Shrek and Fiona admit their love for each other and share a kiss; Fiona is bathed in light as her curse is broken, but is surprised to find that she has remained an ogress. Shrek calms her by assuring her that she is still beautiful. The two of them get married in the swamp and depart on their honeymoon while the rest celebrate by singing "I'm a Believer".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-3179737574263424991?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/3179737574263424991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3179737574263424991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3179737574263424991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/03/shrek-storyline.html' title='SHREK Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-5330589286340367009</id><published>2010-02-11T07:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T05:54:16.298-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Name Is Khan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Name Is Khan - Storyline'/><title type='text'>My Name Is Khan - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-name-is-khan-storyline.html"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 290px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f4/Mynameiskhan.jpg/200px-Mynameiskhan.jpg" border="0" alt="MY NAME IS KHAN" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rizwan Khan (Tanay Chheda) is a Muslim child who grew up with his brother Zakir and his mother (Zarina Wahab) in a middle class family in the Borivali section of Mumbai. Rizwan is different from the other children and no one, including his mother, can understand why. However, he has certain gifts, particularly a special ability to repair any machine that is broken. His difference leads to special tutoring from a reclusive scholar and extra attention from his mother. This attention, however, leads to a heightened level of jealousy from his brother Zakir, who eventually leaves his family for a life in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;Despite this resentment, as an adult Zakir (Jimmy Shergill) sponsors Rizwan (Shah Rukh Khan) to come and live with him in San Francisco. It is at this time that Zakir's psychologist wife, Haseena diagnoses Rizwan as having Asperger's syndrome, a disorder which makes it difficult for people to interact socially. Rizwan also begins to work for Zakir as an herbal salesman and in the process he meets a Hindu woman, Mandira and her young son, Sameer or Sam (Yuvaan Makaar), from a previous marriage. Despite Zakir's hostility to the match, they marry and settle down in the fictional town of Banville, where both Mandira and Samir take Rizwan's last name as their own. They also live next door to the Garrick family. Sam is close with their young son, Reese (Kenton Duty and Michael Arnold) while Mark (Dominic Renda) is a journalist and Sarah (Katie A. Keane) is a friend of Mandira.&lt;br /&gt;The Khans' perfect existence gets disrupted, however, after the September 11 attacks on the twin towers in New York City. Mark goes to cover the war in Afghanistan and dies there. At the same time, the Khan family begins to experience pst 9-11 prejudice in their community and Reese begins to turn against Sam as well. One afternoon, an argument between them turns into a racially motivated schoolyard fight between Sam and a number of older students. Reese tries to stop the fight but is held back and Sam is injured so badly that he dies. A shattered Mandira blames Rizvan for his death stating that Sam "died only because his name was Khan." She then tells Rizwan that she no longer wants him in her life. When he asks her what he has to do to be a part of her life, she tells him that he has to tell the people of the United States, and the President that his name is Khan and that is not a terrorist.&lt;br /&gt;Rizvan thus sets out on a journey that takes him from one US state to another (including Georgia, where he is befriended by Mama Jenny) in order to first meet President George W. Bush and later Barack Obama. During this quest, he is detained and later freed from the San Francisco Airport. Later, in Los Angeles, he prays in a Mosque and overhears violent rhetoric from Faisal Rahman (Arif Zakaria). He reports this to the FBI but there is no response at that moment. Later, while waiting in a crowd to meet President Bush and repeating again and again, "my name is Khan and I am not a terrorist," Rizwan is arrested and placed in a prison by police who misinterpret his statement.&lt;br /&gt;While in the prison he is tortured as a terrorist suspect and meets the psychiatrist Radha (Sheetal Menon) who believes he is innocent. He is later released after a media campaign by two Indian student reporters Raj (Arjun Mathur) and Komal (Sugandha Garg) and Bobby Ahuja (Parvin Dabas) prove his innocence by unearthing his attempts to inform the FBI about Faisal Rahman. After his release, he returns to hurricane-hit Georgia to help Mama Jenny and her son. His efforts attract media attention and numerous Muslims come to help as well. At the same time, Reese confesses to Mandira and reveals the identity of the boys who beat up Sam.&lt;br /&gt;After they are brought to justice, she joins Rizwan in Georgia. At the moment she arrives, Rizwan is stabbed by a follower of Faisal Rahman and is rushed to the hospital. With Mandira's help, he survives and meets President-elect Barack Obama (Christopher B. Duncan) who tells him: "Your name is Khan and you are not a terrorist."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-5330589286340367009?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/5330589286340367009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-name-is-khan-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5330589286340367009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5330589286340367009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-name-is-khan-storyline.html' title='My Name Is Khan - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-6852700125169092887</id><published>2010-02-10T08:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-04-13T06:39:58.297-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Google buzz'/><title type='text'>Introducing Google Buzz</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/introducing-google-buzz.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af140/alanottapilakal/188912-google-buzz_slide1.jpg" width="514" height="420" border="0" alt="Google Buzz" title="Google Buzz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Source: &lt;/b&gt;Google Official Blog&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We've blogged before about our thoughts on the social web, steps we've taken to add social features to our products, and efforts like OpenSocial that propose common tools for building social apps. With more and more communication happening online, the social web has exploded as the primary way to share interesting stuff, tell the world what you're up to in real-time and stay more connected to more people. In today's world of status messages, tweets and update streams, it's increasingly tough to sort through it all, much less engage in meaningful conversations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our belief is that organizing the social information on the web — finding relevance in the noise — has become a large-scale challenge, one that Google's experience in organizing information can help solve. We've recently launched innovations like real-time search and Social Search, and today we're taking another big step with the introduction of a new product, Google Buzz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Buzz is a new way to start conversations about the things you find interesting. It's built right into Gmail, so you don't have to peck out an entirely new set of friends from scratch — it just works. If you think about it, there's always been a big social network underlying Gmail. Buzz brings this network to the surface by automatically setting you up to follow the people you email and chat with the most. We focused on building an easy-to-use sharing experience that richly integrates photos, videos and links, and makes it easy to share publicly or privately (so you don't have to use different tools to share with different audiences). Plus, Buzz integrates tightly with your existing Gmail inbox, so you're sure to see the stuff that matters most as it happens in real time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="500" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yi50KlsCBio&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yi50KlsCBio&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're rolling out Buzz to all Gmail accounts over the next few days, so if you don't see it in your account yet, check back soon. We also plan to make Google Buzz available to businesses and schools using Google Apps, with added features for sharing within organizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On your phone, Google Buzz is much more than just a small screen version of the desktop experience. Mobile devices add an important component to sharing: location. Posts tagged with geographical information have an extra dimension of context — the answer to the question "where were you when you shared this?" can communicate so much. And when viewed in aggregate, the posts about a particular location can paint an extremely rich picture of that place. Check out the Mobile Blog for more info about all of the ways to use Buzz on your phone, from a new mobile web app to a Buzz layer in Google Maps for mobile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="500" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m-kcVDNi6eg&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m-kcVDNi6eg&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've relied on other services' openness in order to build Buzz (you can connect Flickr and Twitter from Buzz in Gmail), and Buzz itself is not designed to be a closed system. Our goal is to make Buzz a fully open and distributed platform for conversations. We're building on a suite of open protocols to create a complete read/write developer API, and we invite developers to join us on Google Code to see what is available today and to learn more about how to participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We really hope you enjoy the experiences we've built within Gmail and for mobile phones. If you want to learn more, visit buzz.google.com. We look forward to continuing to evolve and improve Google Buzz based on your feedback.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-6852700125169092887?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/6852700125169092887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/introducing-google-buzz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6852700125169092887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6852700125169092887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/introducing-google-buzz.html' title='Introducing Google Buzz'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-849125414538424190</id><published>2010-02-07T05:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T05:48:23.504-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>The Property of a Lady movie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 74px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7f/007.svg/230px-007.svg.png" border="0" alt="The Property of a Lady movie" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Bond investigates a Secret Service employee, Maria Freudenstein, who is a double agent about to be paid by her Russian keepers by auctioning a clock crafted by Peter Carl Fabergé at Sotheby's in her name. The Russians have sent the Resident Director of the KGB in London to attend the auction and underbid for the item in order to push the price to the necessary value to pay for her services as a double agent. Bond attends the auction in hopes of spotting this man; after doing so the man is expelled from London as persona non grata. The core of this story - the auctioning of a Fabergé egg at Sotheby's to raise funds - was incorporated into the Octopussy film, with the story's title being uttered in dialogue by Bond. The plot element of a double agent within the Secret Service was later referenced with the character of Miranda Frost in Die Another Day (and Alec Trevelyan, Agent 006 of GoldenEye as well as M's traitorous bodyguard, Craig Mitchell, in 2008's Quantum of Solace). The fate of Maria would be revealed by Fleming in his final novel, The Man With the Golden Gun, even though at the time of the novel's publication, "Property of a Lady" had only received limited release in the Ivory Hammer publication.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-849125414538424190?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/849125414538424190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/property-of-lady-movie.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/849125414538424190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/849125414538424190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/property-of-lady-movie.html' title='The Property of a Lady movie'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-4848675061408542008</id><published>2010-02-07T05:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T05:25:57.410-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>DEAR JOHN ( Movie ) - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 296px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Dear_John_film_poster.jpg/200px-Dear_John_film_poster.jpg" border="0" alt="Dear John movie" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2001, college student Savannah Curtis is on spring break when she meets John Tyree, a young soldier on leave from the Army Special Forces. In a matter of days, Savannah and John fall in love. When John's leave comes to an end, he and Savannah start a long distance relationship through handwritten letters. John believes that year will be his final year of enlistment, but, following the September 11 attacks, is torn between returning home and his sense of duty. John chooses to reenlist, and for the next seven years faces increasingly dangerous missions. Soon, he begins to live almost entirely for Savannah's letters. However, despite their efforts, they find their relationship drifting apart. Finally, Savannah, sad but resigned, sends John a Dear John letter, informing him that she has begun seeing her friend Tim. John is deeply depressed and frustrated. On a mission, he enters a dangerous area and is shot several times by an enemy. He awakes in a hospital, where the doctors and army officials tell him he is being sent home. He is relieved, but afraid about what he will find when he confronts Savannah.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-4848675061408542008?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/4848675061408542008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/dear-john-movie-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4848675061408542008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4848675061408542008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/dear-john-movie-storyline.html' title='DEAR JOHN ( Movie ) - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-6212964976134347245</id><published>2010-02-06T01:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-04-13T06:38:53.673-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/adventures-of-tintin-secret-of-unicorn.html"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 344px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8e/Tintin_cover_-_The_Secret_of_the_Unicorn.jpg/250px-Tintin_cover_-_The_Secret_of_the_Unicorn.jpg" border="0" alt="the secret of the unicorn movie" title="the secret of the unicorn movie" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an amazing epidemic of wallet-snatchings around Brussels. Thomson and Thompson - who, during the course of the story, eventually lose their wallets by the dozens to the thief - look for the culprit at the Old Street Market where they meet Tintin. Tintin buys a boat model of an old ship for Captain Haddock, but, as he does, two men try to haggle it off him. The first is a Mr. Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, and the second is later revealed to be named Barnaby. Sakharine calls on Tintin at his flat later, seeking to convince him -unsuccessfully- to sell his ship, but leaves his card. A little while later, the mainmast is broken by Snowy, and Tintin repairs it.&lt;br /&gt;When the Captain visits Tintin, he sees the ship and reacts with astonishment. Haddock takes Tintin back to his apartment and shows him a portrait of one of his ancestors, Sir Francis Haddock, the captain of a 17th century naval vessel. In its background is the very same ship, called "the Unicorn" (a French ship in the original; in the English translation part of the fleet of Charles II of England, and a Union Flag has been inserted as the flag flown by the Unicorn). When Tintin and the Captain return to Tintin's flat, they find that the model boat has been stolen. Tintin visits Sakharine, accusing him of having stolen it. While he discovers an identical ship in Sakharine's collection, it is evidently a different one, for in this case, the mast has not been broken. The ship carries the letters "UNICORN" on the back as well. When Tintin returns home, he finds that his flat has been ransacked, and while cleaning up he finds a mysterious parchment. He realizes that it must have been hidden within the mainmast broken by Snowy, and subsequently rolled out onto the floor. He guesses that the parchement holds the clue to finding treasure and rushes back to the Captain's flat.&lt;br /&gt;The Captain, meanwhile, has taken out some heirlooms that had belonged to his great ancestor: a cutlass, a hat, and a journal which tells of how in 1676 he defeated the pirates led by Red Rackham. Haddock eagerly reads it out aloud to Tintin, sometimes getting a bit carried away while describing the battle scenes. Tintin himself is so taken in by the story that he does not even bother to take off his raincoat.&lt;br /&gt;The pirate Red Rackham had just stolen some diamonds from a Spanish naval vessel when he engaged Sir Francis Haddock in battle in the West Indies. Although the volleys fired by Sir Francis destroyed Rackham's much smaller ship, the pirates managed to overpower Sir Francis's sailors; all but Sir Francis were either killed or forced to walk the plank. Red Rackham's crew took over the Unicorn, stowing the jewels and treasure on board. While they drunkenly celebrated their victory, Sir Francis slipped out of his bonds, killed Red Rackham in hand-to-hand combat and escaped after igniting a long fuse in the munitions hold. As Sir Francis rowed to the safety of a nearby island, the Unicorn exploded, killing the rest of the pirates.&lt;br /&gt;The boat model which was stolen is just one of three constructed by Sir Francis for his three sons. Each one holds a parchment which, when placed together, will give the treasure's location. Tintin and Haddock then visit Mr. Sakharine, hoping to examine the parchment in his model, but find him unconscious in his apartment and the parchment taken from the model. Sakharine's description of his attacker matches Barnaby. Later on, Barnaby himself approaches Tintin in the street and wishes to talk to him but before he can enter Tintin's flat building, he is suddenly shot from a speeding vehicle. He manages to warn Tintin that "they will kill [Tintin] too" but when Tintin asks who "they" are, Barnaby merely points at a couple of sparrows. Tintin is later kidnapped by the perpetrators of the shooting, the Bird brothers (hence the reason for Barnaby pointing at the sparrows), two unscrupulous antique dealers who believe that he possesses the parchments. They are behind the theft of Tintin's model, having discovered the third parchment and have figured out that they needed all three to decode the clue to the treasure's location.&lt;br /&gt;After being kidnapped by the Bird brothers, Tintin later escapes from Marlinspike Hall, a country estate owned by the Bird brothers. Captain Haddock and Thompson and Thomson arrive to help their friend and they capture one Bird brother while the other, Max, escapes. As their prisoner confesses, Tintin requests their police comrades to put out a police bulletin, which ultimately enables them to capture the fugitive at the national border. The parchments themselves, however, were stolen by a kleptomaniac specializing in wallets (the same pickpocket pursued by Thomson and Thompson, who is eventually cornered with Tintin's help).&lt;br /&gt;By the end of the story, Tintin and Haddock have the parchments, and discover where they will find the treasure, by combining the parchments to read. The sequel, Red Rackham's Treasure, continues the story.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-6212964976134347245?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/6212964976134347245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/adventures-of-tintin-secret-of-unicorn.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6212964976134347245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6212964976134347245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/adventures-of-tintin-secret-of-unicorn.html' title='The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-830781204206171526</id><published>2010-02-05T04:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T04:53:33.994-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>13b - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://haranded.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/13b1.jpg" width="300" height="400" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Manohar, an upwardly mobile middle class Indian, moves into a new apartment - 13B on the 13th floor with his family fulfilling one of his life's biggest dreams. But the family is greeted by a series of small trivial incidents such as milk getting spoiled that could be regarded as inauspicious but are shrugged off by the excited Manohar. The lift in the apartment does not operate for Manohar.&lt;br /&gt;The women in the family get hooked on to a new TV show "Sab Khairiyat" (All's Well). The show is about a family eerily similar to theirs who have also just moved into a new house just like they have. As the serial unfolds, Manohar notices that the incidents that happen in the serial are a reflection of what has happened to Manohar and his family. The serial mirrors Manohar's family life. For example, his sister graduating first-class, his wife getting pregnant and later an abortion. The rest of the family remains oblivious to the similarities and Manohar prefers it that way to avoid panic.&lt;br /&gt;As Manohar fights the uneasy feeling in his mind, things start taking a turn for the worse in the serial. He is now terrified that the same would happen to his family as well. Manohar now wants to know who is behind the making of this serial and what their intentions are. As Manohar explores the mysterious happenings, he unravels a deep and unholy secret.&lt;br /&gt;The house they live in was the house where the whole family of eight were murdered way back in 1977. It was the family of a TV News reader Chitra. On the day of Chitra's engagement an ardent fan(Shriram Shinde in 13B version) of Chitra wants to stop the engagement and he fails in doing so. Disheartened, he commits suicide. After that all members in that family was murdered with a hammer in a single day. The blame rests on the crazy brother in the family as he is seen with the hammer last. The police officer investigating the case also commits suicide by hanging himself in the same house.&lt;br /&gt;Now Manohar and his friend who is a policeman are in the process of unraveling the mystery. Manohar researches the madman Senthil, who apparently goes crazy after seeing the TV show in an asylum. Manohar then meets Senthil who extends a hand for Manohar but drags him inside but his friend Shiva helps him from being dragged, they then met Chitra's former fiance Ramchandar who tries to plead for Senthil's innocence because he got covered in blood while he hugged the bodies, failed in the case.&lt;br /&gt;After researching one night Manohar had a nightmare of the 13B murderer climbing the stairs to kill his family. When Manohar tried to climb the stairs, he always ended up in the 2nd floor and after a few moments he woke up. He then goes to the hall and witnesses the Climax of "Yavarum Nalam" when they were showing the murderer's identity, he sees two hammers, one pointed hammer and a blunt sledge-hammer, then showing Manohar's face as the killer.&lt;br /&gt;Manohar has a fit of insanity and turns to Shiva and Dr. Balu for help. He asks Dr.Balu to send his family to New Delhi. When Dr. Balu leaves the house, Manohar tells Shiva to lock him inside a room. He reckoned that if he is outside he might cause harm to his family without knowing he is doing so. Shiva locks Manohar up, and Manohar sees a sledgehammer outside the house. Manohar remembers that they showed two different hammers and the murder weapon was a pointed hammer. He tells Shiva about his suspicion but Shiva refuses to open the door. Manohar then climbs over Dr.Balu's shelf but falls down, finding a newspaper that had an obituary of Shriram which was posted by Dr.Balu and realises that Shriram is Dr.Balu's brother. Manohar realized that Dr.Balu was the murderer who killed Chitra's family as to avenge his brother's death. He then goes to save his family. Dr.Balu had reached Manohar's house and handed them tickets. As Manohar's wife goes to inform the family, Dr.Balu takes a hammer from the bathroom and goes to the hall, he then 'sees' Chitra, who blames Dr.Balu for the murders of her family and condemns him for killing innocent people. Dr.Balu sees Manohar's family and starts hallucinating, picturing them as the former owners of 13B. He then proceeds to strike Manohar's brother but Manohar arrives just in time to save his family by killing Dr. Balu with the hammer.&lt;br /&gt;The story ends with Manohar living a normal life and receiving a call from Dr. Balu while in the elevator, who says that while the 13B family haunts the T.V., he haunts Manohar's phone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-830781204206171526?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/830781204206171526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/13b-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/830781204206171526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/830781204206171526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/13b-storyline.html' title='13b - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-4449048179340221603</id><published>2010-02-01T08:59:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T09:01:08.348-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/final-fantasy-storyline.html"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5a/Final_fantasy_ver1.jpg/200px-Final_fantasy_ver1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film opens in the year 2065, where a future Earth is infested by Phantoms, alien life forms who upon physical contact with human beings extract, consume and thus seemingly destroy their souls. The remaining humans live in "barrier cities" all over the world and are engaged in an ongoing struggle to free the planet. Two scientists, Aki Ross and her mentor, Dr. Sid, are searching for eight life forms which they believe possess spirits capable, when joined, of defeating the Phantoms. Meanwhile, a general named Hein is determined to use a powerful space cannon to destroy the Phantoms, though Aki and Sid believe the cannon may destroy the Earth.&lt;br /&gt;Aki was infected by a Phantom during one of her experiments, but with the help of the first five spirits, she was able to contain the infection temporarily. Searching for the Sixth Spirit in the ruins of New York City, Aki is cornered by Phantoms, but is rescued by a team led by Gray Edwards who was once romantically involved with Aki.&lt;br /&gt;When they return, Aki and Sid appear before a leadership council along with Gen. Hein where they debate the use of the space cannon. Aki wins more time but only by revealing that she has been infected, convincing Hein that she is being controlled by the Phantoms. He has three men placed with her as she and Gray's squad travel to find the Seventh Spirit. They succeed in finding it, but are attacked by Phantoms in the process and they realize that the Phantoms are attracted to Aki. Hein's men attempt to arrest Aki but in the ensuing struggle and attacks by phantoms, they are killed and their souls are destroyed. Meanwhile Aki's infection worsens and she falls unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;Gray's squad takes Aki to Sid's lab where Sid helps Gray to join Aki's dream. In the dream, they witness a war on an alien planet. The war ends when terrible explosions rip the planet apart and Aki realizes that the Phantoms are the spirits of the dead aliens brought to Earth on a fragment of their planet. They awake as Sid uses the Seventh Spirit to bring the infection back under control.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Hein uses the incident with the Seventh Spirit to gain access to Sid and Aki's personal possessions and sees the images of the aliens in Aki's dream recorder. With this evidence, he has Sid, Aki and Gray's squad arrested.&lt;br /&gt;In an attempt to ensure that the council will give him clearance to fire the space cannon, Gen. Hein takes control of the barrier shielding the city from the Phantoms and lowers it until they start to enter. Though Hein intended that only a few of the Phantoms enter, his plan backfires, as the Phantoms use plasma conduits to invade the entire city.&lt;br /&gt;With the city under an evacuation order, Sid, Aki and Gray's squad are released from detention. They attempt to flee the city but only Sid, Aki and Gray escape with their lives in Aki's spaceship. Sid scans for the Eighth Spirit and finds it at the crater where the fragment of the alien planet collided with the Earth. Meanwhile, Hein escapes as well and, guilt-ridden and suicidal, boards the space cannon where he finally receives authorization to fire it, lying to the surviving council members as to the reason the Phantoms were able to invade the city.&lt;br /&gt;Sid lowers Aki and Gray into the crater in a shielded vehicle so they can locate the Eighth Spirit and combine it with the others. They are about to succeed when Hein fires the space cannon into the crater, not only causing the Phantoms to mutate and grow larger, but causing the Eighth Spirit to disappear.&lt;br /&gt;Aki has another vision of the Phantom home planet where she receives the Eighth Spirit. When she wakes, she and Gray combine it with the other seven and use the shield on their vehicle as a projector for them. When a Phantom touches the shield, it begins a chain reaction which neutralizes all of the Phantoms.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Hein disables the cannon's safety mechanism and fires it again, destroying the cannon and everyone aboard it. The beam hits the Earth's spirit, or Gaia, the existence of which was long a pet theory of Dr. Sid. Gaia is damaged and angered, just as the spirit of the alien planet was damaged and angered when that planet was destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;Aki still has the eight spirits though and, with the vehicle destroyed, Gray sacrifices his own life and soul to transmit them directly to Gaia. Gaia is returned to normal as the destructive energy is beamed back into space. The movie ends with Aki being pulled from the crater holding Gray's body and looking into the newly liberated world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-4449048179340221603?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/4449048179340221603/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/final-fantasy-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4449048179340221603'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4449048179340221603'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/02/final-fantasy-storyline.html' title='Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-8391633079929627238</id><published>2010-01-30T07:32:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T07:33:34.685-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Edge of Darkness - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/edge-of-darkness-storyline.html"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 296px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/Edge_of_Darkness_the_Movie_poster.jpg/200px-Edge_of_Darkness_the_Movie_poster.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a single father and Boston detective who is happy that his 24-year-old daughter, Emma (Bojana Novakovic), has arrived for a visit. A nuclear engineer in training at military contractor Northmoore, the young woman seems to have something on her mind. When she ends up vomiting blood, Thomas knows something isn't right, but as they leave the house to rush to the doctor, a masked man on the street blows her back into the house with a deadly shotgun blast. Shocked, but unable to think of anyone who would want him dead, Thomas sets out to find who's responsible, much to the chagrin of the case's lead detective, Bill Whitehouse (Jay O. Sanders). Thomas begins with Emma's boyfriend, David Burnham (Shawn Roberts), who he's never met but seems quite paranoid about being observed by people who don't want him to talk. With that only raising his suspicion, Thomas digs deeper by going up higher, including meeting with Northmoore CEO Jack Bennett (Danny Huston) and eventually U.S. Senator Pine (Damian Young) who's benefitted from major contributions from that corporation.&lt;br /&gt;As he starts to piece together a growing conspiracy, Thomas must not only contend with Bennett's goons who want him silenced, but also Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone). He's nebulous figured hired by the Feds to clean up the mess, but his allegiance is questionable at best. From that point on, Thomas takes the law into his own hands while determined to bring his daughter's killers to his own brand of justice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-8391633079929627238?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/8391633079929627238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/edge-of-darkness-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8391633079929627238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8391633079929627238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/edge-of-darkness-storyline.html' title='Edge of Darkness -

Along the way he demonstrates uncanny survival and fighting skills, hunting wildlife and swiftly defeating a group of highway bandits who tried to ambush him. Searching for a source of water he arrives in a ramshackle town which was built by and is overseen by Carnegie (Gary Oldman). Carnegie dreams of building more towns and hinges these hopes on finding a certain book. His henchmen scour the desolate landscape daily in search of it.&lt;br /&gt;After shooing away a cat in Carnegie's bar, Eli is set upon by a gang of bikers; Eli kills them all. Realizing that Eli is a literate man like himself Carnegie asks Eli to stay, though it is made clear that the offer is non-negotiable. After Carnegie's blind wife Claudia (Jennifer Beals) gives Eli some food Carnegie asks Claudia's daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) to seduce Eli. Eli turns her down but before they eat he says a prayer. The following day Solara prays with her mother and Carnegie realizes that Eli has a copy of the Bible, the book he has been looking for, as all copies were destroyed after the apocalypse. Eli sneaks out of his room and goes to the store across the street where he asked the Engineer (Tom Waits) to recharge his portable battery. Carnegie attempts to stop Eli, having all his henchmen fire at him, but Eli avoids the gunfire and shoots most of Carnegie's henchmen, even grazing Carnegie's leg. After Eli leaves, Solara follows and tracks him down, hoping she can accompany him on his travels and escape the town. Eli agrees on condition that she take him to the town's water supply. After fulfilling her end of the bargain, Eli traps her there and continues on alone. Solara escapes and soon finds herself set upon by two men. As Solara grapples with the men, Eli suddenly appears and dispatches them with arrows. Eli and Solara continue on until they arrive at a strange house. They stop to investigate and quickly fall into a trap door. The residents Martha (Frances de la Tour) and George (Michael Gambon) appear and invite them in for tea. Eli surmises that they trap, kill, and then eat invaders but before Eli and Solara can leave they are found by Carnegie.&lt;br /&gt;Eli, Solara, Martha, and George hole themselves up inside the house and George reveals a hidden stockpile of powerful weaponry. A shoot-out ensues, leading to the death of some of Carnegie's men as well as George and Martha. Eli and Solara are captured.Carnegie threatens to kill Solara, which brings Eli to hand the Bible over to Carnegie. Carnegie shoots him in the stomach and leaves. While in transit Solara escapes and drives back to help Eli. Carnegie returns to the town as he has the Bible and is low on fuel. Solara picks Eli up and they continue west until they reach the Golden Gate Bridge, then they row over to Alcatraz where they find a group of survivors dedicated to preserving pre-war knowledge. Eli tells the guard that he has a copy of the King James version of the Bible and they are allowed in. Inside they are introduced to Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell), who is the curator of a collection of things from before the apocalypse. Eli is revealed as blind and dictates the Bible from memory to Lombardi, before dying from his wounds. Carnegie has the Engineer open the Bible but is distraught to find that it is in Braille, and his wife refuses to read it to him. His leg has started to go septic and he will die without ever having read the Bible.

This belief has inspired numerous artistic depictions. There is little agreement among Christian denominations in Christian eschatology as to what happens after death and before the Last Judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctrine and iconographic depiction of the "Last Judgment" are drawn from many passages from the apocalyptic sections of the Bible. It appears most directly in The Sheep and the Goats section of the Gospel of Matthew where the judgment is entirely based on help given or refused to "the least of these":[citation needed]&lt;br /&gt;When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and He will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at His right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” ... “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”&lt;br /&gt;Then He will say to those at His left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” ... “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25:31-36, 40-43, 45-46 NRSV)&lt;br /&gt;The doctrine is further supported by passages in Daniel, Isaiah and the Revelation of Saint John the Divine:&lt;br /&gt;And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (Rev 20:11-12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;SOURCES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Christ Pantokrator and the Last Judgement (mosaic, Baptistry of San Giovanni in Florence, c. 1300).&lt;br /&gt;Adherents of millennialism, mostly Protestant Christians, regard the two passages as describing separate events: the "sheep and goats" judgment will determine the final status of those persons alive at the end of the Tribulation, and the "Great White Throne" judgment will be the final condemnation of the unrighteous dead at the end of all time, after the end of the world and before the beginning of the eternal period described in the final two chapters of Revelation.[citation needed]&lt;br /&gt;Also, Matthew 3:10-12:&lt;br /&gt;Even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ‘I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing-floor and will gather his wheat into the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.’&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 13:40-43:&lt;br /&gt;Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!&lt;br /&gt;Luke 12:4-5,49:&lt;br /&gt;‘I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! ... ‘I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-187390652003362767?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/187390652003362767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/judgement-day-is-very-near.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/187390652003362767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/187390652003362767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/judgement-day-is-very-near.html' title='Judgement day is very near'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-9070575319194460520</id><published>2010-01-16T22:50:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T08:35:33.453-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='orkut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pictures'/><title type='text'>Spider man and squirell</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/spider-man-and-squirell.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af140/alanottapilakal/SPIFER-MAN.gif" width="400" height="550" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;

Via television, MI6 and the British military identify several wanted men, including American "techno-terrorist" Henry Gupta (Ricky Jay), who is buying a GPS encoder made by the American military. Despite M's (Judi Dench) insistence that Agent 007 finish his reconnaissance, the British Admiral Roebuck (Geoffrey Palmer) launches a missile attack on the arms bazaar. Bond then discovers there are two Soviet nuclear torpedoes mounted on an L-39 Albatros, the destruction of which poses potential local radioactive contamination. With the missile already in flight and unable to be aborted, Bond hijacks the L-39 jet and flies it away from the arms bazaar, defeating a pursuing L-39 and a hostile co-pilot by ejecting the co-pilot into the other aircraft. Despite the missile destroying most of the terrorists and weaponry, Gupta escapes with the encoder.&lt;br /&gt;Media baron Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce), head of the Carver Media Group Network (CMGN), begins his plans to use the encoder to provoke war between China and the United Kingdom. As the existing Chinese leadership is not receptive to giving Carver Media Group Network exclusive broadcast rights in their country, Carver wants to use a war to eliminate them in favor of politicians more friendly to his plans. Meaconing the GPS signal using the encoder, Gupta sends the frigate HMS Devonshire off-course in the South China Sea, where Carver's stealth ship and its crew plan to steal a number of its missiles[4]. Carver's henchman, Stamper (Götz Otto), sinks the frigate with a sea drill and shoots down a Chinese J-7 fighter jet sent to investigate the British presence, and then the men aboard the stealth ship kill the Devonshire's survivors with Chinese weaponry. Thinking they have been attacked by the Chinese, Admiral Roebuck deploys the British Fleet to recover the frigate, and possibly retaliate, leaving M only forty-eight hours to investigate its sinking.&lt;br /&gt;M sends Bond to investigate Carver after Carver Media releases news with critical details hours before these have become known, and MI6 noticed a spurious signal from one of his CMGN communications satellites when the frigate was sunk. Bond travels to Hamburg and seduces Carver's wife, Paris (Teri Hatcher), an ex-girlfriend; the information she tells Bond helps him sneak into Carver's newspaper headquarters and steal back the GPS encoder. When Carver learns of it, he orders Paris and Bond killed; Paris is killed by Dr. Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli), but Bond escapes in his car. Bond then goes to the South China Sea to investigate the wreck, discovering one of the missiles missing. He and Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), a Chinese spy on the same case, are captured by Stamper and taken to the CMGN Vietnam bureau; they escape and begin collaborating.&lt;br /&gt;They contact the Royal Navy and the Chinese air force to explain what is happening, then find and board Carver's stealth ship in Ha Long Bay to prevent him firing the stolen British cruise missile at Beijing. During the battle, Wai Lin is captured, but Bond captures Gupta to use as his own hostage, but Carver kills Gupta, claiming he has outlived his contract. Bond gets them out of it, by setting off an explosive, damaging part of the ship and exposing it on radar, enabling the Royal Navy to attack it. While Wai Lin heads to disable the engines, Bond leads a large battle to the stolen missile against the crew, and Stamper. Carver is killed by his own sea drill after trying to kill Bond on his own. As Bond begins to start the process of destroying the warhead, Stamper shows that he has Wai Lin hostage. A fight ensues when he tries to drown her. Bond traps him in the missile firing mechanism and leaves him to die, while saving Wai Lin as the stealth ship is destroyed by the missile. Bond and Wai Lin survive amidst the wreckage as HMS Bedford searches for them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-6720490585213148538?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/6720490585213148538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/tommorow-never-dies-storyline.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6720490585213148538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/6720490585213148538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/tommorow-never-dies-storyline.html' title='Tommorow never dies - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-3192347147828320991</id><published>2010-01-15T07:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-15T07:09:25.438-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>Die Another Day - Storyline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/11/007DAD1.jpg/200px-007DAD1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/11/007DAD1.jpg/200px-007DAD1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Bond infiltrates a North Korean military base belonging to Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, and poses as an arms dealer trading African conflict diamonds for weaponry. Bond attempts to assassinate Moon, but has his true identity revealed by Zao, Moon’s assistant, during the transaction when someone transmits Bond's top-secret MI6 personnel file to Zao. A chase results in the disfiguring of Zao’s face and the apparent death of Colonel Moon after Bond runs him off a cliff. Bond is captured and imprisoned by the Colonel’s father, General Moon, and subsequently tortured.&lt;br /&gt;After fourteen months of captivity, Bond is traded for Zao in a prisoner exchange. Bond is informed by M that his 00 status has been suspended. His freedom was a result of the Americans and MI6 believing he was hemorrhaging sensitive information to North Korea during his torture and they wanted to get him back under their control before he was able let out any more information. Bond, knowing that he never revealed any information, instead surmises that someone within MI6 betrayed him, first by revealing his identity to Moon and Zao, and then by revealing the identities of deep-cover operatives who were subsequently assassinated, attributed to his "breaking" under torture. Nonetheless, M explains he is to be transported to the Falkland Islands where he will be detained indefinitely until he is no longer a threat. By intentionally stopping his heart rate, Bond manages to escape his recovery room off the shore of Hong Kong and learns through a Chinese Intelligence contact that Zao is in Havana, Cuba. While in Havana, Bond meets NSA agent Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bond and Jinx meet in Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;Bond follows Zao and Jinx to a gene therapy clinic where patients can have their appearances altered. Jinx is posing as a client to find information on Zao, but Bond finds him first. Zao escapes Bond and Jinx, but leaves evidence of several conflict diamonds bearing the laser signature of British billionaire Gustav Graves. Bond later encounters Graves at a fencing club along with his assistant Miranda Frost, also an undercover MI6 agent. Bond is invited to Iceland for a scientific demonstration after showing Graves one of his diamonds.&lt;br /&gt;At the demonstration in Iceland, Graves unveils a new orbital mirror satellite (dubbed “Icarus”) the ostensible purpose of which is to harness solar energy and focus it to areas of earth to provide day- and year-round sunshine for crop development. Jinx, who is at the ceremony posed as a journalist, infiltrates the command center of the Iceland mansion and locates Zao, who is using the same gene therapy equipment found in Cuba. Bond arrives and rescues Jinx after being captured by the henchman Mr. Kil. After seeing Zao, Bond realizes that Colonel Moon survived their original encounter and is using the technology to assume the identity and appearance of Gustav Graves.&lt;br /&gt;Bond confronts Graves, but Frost arrives to reveal herself as the traitor and the one who exposed Bond in North Korea. Frost has also tampered with Bond’s gun when they slept together the night before. Bond escapes and is pursued by the solar beam of the Icarus satellite, controlled by Moon. Bond escapes and returns to the facility to rescue Jinx, where he is discovered and chased by Zao. Zao dies after Bond tricks him into crashing his car into a flooded portion of the facility and a chandelier subsequently collapses on him. Bond then rescues an unconscious Jinx from drowning when she was trapped in Frost's bedroom and revives her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From left: Gustav Graves, Miranda Frost, Verity, James Bond.&lt;br /&gt;Bond and Jinx then pursue Grave and Frost to the Korean peninsula and end up stowing away on Graves' cargo plane. Graves reveals his true identity to his father, General Moon, and the purpose of the Icarus satellite. He plans to cut a path through the Korean Demilitarized Zone with Concentrated Sun Light, allowing North Korean troops to invade South Korea and reunite the countries through force. General Moon draws a gun to maintain peace, but is then murdered by his son. Bond advances on Graves to stop the attack while Jinx attempts to regain control of the plane. Frost finds and attacks Jinx, but is killed in the fight after being stabbed in the chest. Meanwhile, after the plane is severely damaged from passing through the beam, Bond is able to pull a ripcord from Graves' attached parachute (which draws him closer to the door) and then electrocute him, which sends him flying out the plane, only to be ingested by the engine. Bond and Jinx escape the crashing plane via a helicopter in the cargo hold along with the entire stash of Graves’ diamonds.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-3192347147828320991?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/3192347147828320991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/die-another-day-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3192347147828320991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3192347147828320991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/die-another-day-storyline.html' title='Die Another Day - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-5497210995094299109</id><published>2010-01-15T06:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-15T07:09:16.982-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>Quantum of Solace - Storyline</title><content type='html'>The film continues immediately after the events of Casino Royale with Bond driving from Lake Como to Siena, Italy. With the captured Mr. White in the luggage compartment of his car, Bond is attacked by chasing henchmen. After evading his pursuers, Bond and M interrogate White regarding his organisation, Quantum. M's bodyguard, Mitchell, is revealed as a double agent and a traitor, attacking M and allowing White to escape; Bond chases Mitchell across Siena and kills him. Following a forensic investigation into Mitchell's apartment back in London, Bond heads to Haiti to track down and kill Mitchell's contact, Edmund Slate. In carrying out his objective, Bond learns that Slate was sent to kill Camille Montes at the behest of her lover, Dominic Greene, the chairman of an ecological organization called Greene Planet. While observing her meeting with Greene, Bond learns that Greene is helping the Bolivian general Medrano – who murdered Camille's family – overthrow his government in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of desert.&lt;br /&gt;Greene has Camille escorted away on Medrano's boat to "sweeten" their deal, but Bond rescues her. Bond then follows Greene to a private jet, which flies him to a performance of Tosca at Lake Constance in Bregenz, Austria; en route, CIA agent Gregg Beam strikes a non-interference deal with Greene, overruling the objections of Felix Leiter. Bond infiltrates Quantum's meeting at the opera, and a gunfight ensues in a restaurant. A bodyguard of Guy Haines, an advisor to the British Prime Minister, is killed, and M, assuming Bond is the killer, has his passports and credit cards revoked. Bond travels to Talamone, a small Italian town in Maremma, to reunite with his old ally René Mathis. Though less than happy to see Bond, Mathis is convinced to accompany him to La Paz. They are greeted by Strawberry Fields, an MI6 field operative from the British Consulate, who demands that Bond return to the UK on the next available flight. Bond disobeys and seduces her in their hotel suite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.topnews.in/light/files/jamesbond.jpg" width="200" height="300" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bond meets Camille again at a fund-raiser being held by Greene, and they leave hastily together, but are pulled over by the Bolivian police. Not knowing that their chief was working with Medrano, the policemen had beaten Mathis and put him in the trunk of Bond's car. The police order Bond to open the luggage compartment of his vehicle, revealing a bloodied Mathis. As Bond lifts Mathis out of the vehicle, the policemen open fire and fatally wound Mathis, who dies in Bond's arms. After Bond subdues the police he deposits Mathis's body in a waste container, and takes money from his wallet stating that Mathis wouldn't care. Bond and Camille drive to Greene's intended land acquisition and survey the area in a Douglas DC-3 plane. They are intercepted and shot down by an Aermacchi SF.260 fighter and a Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter. They escape from the crippled plane by parachuting, landing in a sinkhole. While escaping the cave, Bond and Camille discover Quantum is blockading Bolivia's supply of fresh water, normally flowing in subterranean rivers, by damming it to double the price of water. The duo return to La Paz, where Bond meets M and learns Quantum murdered Fields by drowning her naked in crude oil. Believing that Bond has become a threat to both friend and foe, M orders him to disarm and end his activities in Bolivia, but he defies her and escapes.&lt;br /&gt;Bond meets CIA agent Felix Leiter at a local bar, who discloses Greene and Medrano will meet at an eco-hotel in the Bolivian desert. Tipped off by Leiter, Bond evades American special forces attempting to kill him. Bond then sets out to the hotel where Greene and Medrano make the change in the Bolivian leadership. Bond executes the departing Colonel of Police for betraying Mathis, and sets off a chain of explosions in the hotel when a hydrogen fuel tank is hit by an out of control vehicle. Camille kills Medrano, and Bond captures Greene. After interrogating him, he leaves Greene stranded in the middle of the desert with only a can of motor oil as a possible mean to commit suicide. Bond drives Camille to a train station, where they kiss before she departs.&lt;br /&gt;Bond goes to Kazan, Russia, where he confronts Vesper Lynd's former lover, Yusef Kabira. Yusef is a member of Quantum who seduces high-ranking women with valuable connections, getting them to give up government assets as ransom for himself in fake kidnappings where he is supposedly held hostage. He is attempting to do the same with Canadian agent Corinne Veneau, even giving her the same kind of necklace he gave Vesper. Surprising them at Yusef's apartment, Bond tells Corinne about Vesper and advises her to alert her superiors. As Bond is leaving Yusef's apartment he is confronted by M, who is surprised that Bond did not kill Yusef, but rather left him alive for questioning. M reveals that Leiter has been promoted by the CIA, replacing Beam, and that Greene was found in the desert, dead with two bullets in the back of his skull and with motor oil in his stomach. Bond doesn't volunteer any information on Greene, but tells M that she was right about Vesper. M then tells Bond that MI6 needs him back and fully reinstates him as an agent. Bond walks off into the night telling M that he never left. As he leaves, he drops Vesper's necklace in the snow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-5497210995094299109?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/5497210995094299109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/quantum-of-solace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5497210995094299109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5497210995094299109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/quantum-of-solace.html' title='Quantum of Solace - Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-1166876678618426033</id><published>2010-01-15T06:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-15T06:18:25.496-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='travel'/><title type='text'>Eight Wonders of the World</title><content type='html'>The ancient Greeks believed that there were Seven Wonders of the World. These included the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Not surprisingly, they were all located around the Mediterranean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2001, the Swiss-based New7Wonders Foundation launched an initiative to select the New Seven Wonders of the World. Much to the annoyance of Egypt – home to the only surviving remnant from the original Wonders of the Ancient World – the Great Pyramid of Giza was in contention with such 20th century marvels as the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Sydney Opera House in Australia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The results, announced in the summer of 2007, were as follow: the Great Wall of China; Petra, an archaeological site in Jordan; Christ the Redeemer, a statue of Jesus Christ built atop Corcovado Mountain in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro; Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, in Peru; Chichen Itza, a pre-Columbian architectural site in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula; the Roman Colosseum, an amphitheater located in the heart of Rome, Italy; and the Taj Mahal, a mausoleum located in Agra, India, which was built by a Mughal emperor in memory of his favourite wife. The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt was named an “honorary candidate,” bringing the total to eight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continental Airlines has launched an on-line auction, allowing frequent flyers to bid their miles on a premium round-the-world trip, visiting the Eight Wonders of the World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We are pleased to celebrate joining Star Alliance by bringing this unique auction package to our most loyal customers,” says Mark Bergsrud, Continental’s senior vice president of marketing programmes and distribution. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winning bidder and a companion will travel from their hometown to Continental’s Houston, Texas, hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From there, they will travel by business class on Continental and other Star Alliance airlines, making stops at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Rome, Italy; Delhi, India; Cairo, Egypt; Beijing, China; Mexico City, Mexico; and Lima, Peru. They will stay at Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide properties and take private tours of each of the Eight Wonders. Bidding closes on 9 December 2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-1166876678618426033?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/1166876678618426033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/eight-wonders-of-world.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/1166876678618426033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/1166876678618426033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/eight-wonders-of-world.html' title='Eight Wonders of the World'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-3032902750929793191</id><published>2010-01-12T06:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T06:45:48.990-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>Titanic [1997] -StoryLine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_P/0_paintings_titanic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 359px; height: 360px;" src="http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_P/0_paintings_titanic.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic, searching for a necklace set with a valuable blue diamond called the Heart of the Ocean. They believe the diamond is in Caledon "Cal" Hockley's safe, which they recover. They do not find the diamond, but a sketch of a nude woman wearing the diamond. The drawing is dated April 14, 1912, the night the Titanic hit the iceberg. One-hundred-year-old Rose Dawson Calvert (Gloria Stuart) learns of the drawing and contacts Lovett, informing him that she is the woman in the drawing. She and her granddaughter Elizabeth "Lizzy" Calvert (Suzy Amis) visit Lovett and his team on his salvage ship. When asked if she knew the whereabouts of the necklace, Rose recalls her memories aboard the Titanic, revealing that she is Rose DeWitt Bukater, a passenger believed to have died in the sinking.&lt;br /&gt;In 1912, the upper class 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) boards the ship in Southampton, England with her fiancé Caledon "Cal" Hockley (Billy Zane), the son of a Pittsburgh steel tycoon, and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater (Frances Fisher). Both Cal and Ruth stress the importance of Rose's engagement to Cal, since the marriage will mean the eradication of the Dewitt-Bukater debts; while they appear upper-class, Rose and her mother are experiencing severe financial troubles. Distraught and frustrated by her engagement to the controlling Cal and the pressure her mother is putting on her, Rose attempts suicide by jumping from the stern. Before she leaps, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) intervenes. Cal, his friends and the sailors, overhearing Rose's screams, believe Jack attempted to rape her. She explains that Jack saved her life, hiding her suicide attempt by claiming she slipped while trying to see the propellers. Jack supports Rose's story, though Hockley's manservant, former Pinkerton agent Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner), is unconvinced. Jack and Rose develop a tentative friendship. Their bond deepens when they leave a stuffy first-class formal dinner of the rapport-building wealthy for a much livelier gathering in third-class.&lt;br /&gt;Lovejoy informs Cal of Rose's partying, and during breakfast the following morning Cal forbids her to see Jack again. After witnessing a woman encouraging her seven-year-old daughter to behave like a "proper lady" at tea, Rose defies him and meets Jack at the bow of the ship. Rose opens herself up to Jack, sharing a passionate kiss. They go to Rose's stateroom where she asks Jack to sketch her wearing the Heart of the Ocean, an engagement present from Cal. Afterwards, the two run from Lovejoy, going into the ship's cargo hold. They enter William Carter's Renault and have sex in the backseat before moving to the ship's forward well deck. Rose decides she will leave the ship with Jack. After witnessing the ship's collision with an iceberg and overhearing the ship's lookouts discussing how serious it is, Rose tells Jack they should warn her mother and Cal. Cal has discovered Rose's drawing and her taunting note in his safe, so he frames Jack for stealing the Heart of the Ocean by having Lovejoy plant it in Jack's pocket. Jack is arrested, taken down to the Master-at-arms's office and handcuffed to a pipe. Rose runs away from Cal and her mother (who has boarded a lifeboat) to rescue Jack from imprisonment. Rose frees Jack with an axe.&lt;br /&gt;Jack and Rose return to the boat deck. Cal and Jack both want Rose safe, so they persuade her to board a lifeboat, Cal claiming that he has an arrangement that will allow him and Jack to get off safely. After Rose is out of earshot, Cal admits that there is an arrangement, but he will not use it to help Jack. Realizing that she cannot leave Jack, Rose jumps back on the ship and reunites with him at the ship's first-class staircase. Infuriated, Cal takes Lovejoy's pistol and chases Jack and Rose into the flooding first-class dining saloon. When Cal runs out of ammunition, he sarcastically wishes them well, then realizes he left the Heart of the Ocean in Rose's overcoat. Cal abandons Lovejoy and returns to the boat deck, where he boards a lifeboat by pretending to look after an abandoned child. When Jack and Rose return to the top deck, the lifeboats have gone and they take refuge on the now-vertical stern, which washes them into the Atlantic Ocean. Jack and Rose grab hold of a door that only supports one person. Jack remains in the water, clinging to the door. As Rose accepts their fate, Jack assures her that she will live to have a long, happy life. As they await rescue, Jack freezes to death.&lt;br /&gt;When a lifeboat finally returns to the site of the sinking, Rose is thinking of staying put and dying with Jack, but is then inspired by Jack's words and determined to live, blows a whistle taken from a nearby frozen crew member. Rose is taken by the RMS Carpathia to New York, where she gives her name as Rose Dawson. She sees Cal for the last time on Carpathia's deck, looking for her.&lt;br /&gt;Having completed her story, the elderly Rose goes alone to the stern of Lovett's ship and drops the Heart of the Ocean into the water. As she sleeps, around her are pictures of her doing everything she said she would do with Jack throughout her life. The final shot of the film is of young Rose being reunited with Jack at the Grand Staircase of the Titanic, surrounded and applauded by those who perished on the ship; it is deliberately unclear if this is a conscious dream, or if Rose has died in her sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-3032902750929793191?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/3032902750929793191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/titanic-1997-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3032902750929793191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3032902750929793191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/titanic-1997-storyline.html' title='Titanic [1997] -StoryLine'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-7775464491049637537</id><published>2010-01-12T06:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T06:34:34.575-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>Leap Year -StoryLine</title><content type='html'>Anna (Amy Adams) travels to Dublin, Ireland to propose to her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) on February 29, leap day, because according to Irish legend, a woman can propose to her boyfriend on leap year, and he cannot refuse.[2] While mid-flight to Dublin, there is a storm and the plane diverts to Cardiff, Wales. Anna hires a boat to take her to Cork, but the boat is run aground on the Dingle Peninsula. She enlists the help of a surly Irish innkeeper, Declan (Matthew Goode), to taxi her across the country to Dublin to pull off the perfect proposal in time, and begins to question her intentions with Jeremy when she makes a connection with Declan.&lt;br /&gt;When Anna reaches the Dingle Peninsula, Declan at first refuses to drive her to Dublin. Once his inn is threatened with foreclosure the next morning, he agrees to drive for 500 euros. Anna manages to damage her room badly, making the dresser fall, revealing a picture of Declan, a girl, and another man. Declan takes the picture away from her. On their way to Dublin, Declan mistakes Anna's designer Louis Vuitton suitcase to be named Louis. The two set out in Declan's rickety car, but they quickly run into a herd of cows. Anna shoos them away but stepped in cow dung, causeing her to lean against the car, which wheels back into a lake. They reach a train station by foot. While passing time waiting for the train at a nearby castle, Declan asks Anna what she would save if her apartment caught fire, and she is unable to answer. The train comes several hours early, and Anna misses it. The two go to a couples in, where they are forced to say that they are married so they are allowed to stay. During dinner, Anna and Declan are forced to kiss, which causes some confusion for them. That night, they hesitantly sleep in the same bed. The next day they take shelter from a hail storm in a church where a wedding is taking place. At the reception, Declan reveals that he was once engaged, but that his ex-fiance ran off with his best friend, and his family ring, to Dublin.&lt;br /&gt;The next day they arrive, by bus, in Dublin. When Anna reached Jeremy's hotel he proposes to her, and she accepts with hesitation as Declan walks away. At their engagement party, Anna finds out that Jeremy proposed to her in an effort to impress the manager of the ritzy apartment the two were attempting to rent. Dismayed, Anna pulls the fire alarm and watches as Jeremy grabs all the electronics before fleeing. Anna goes back to the Dingle Peninsula, where Declan is successfully running his inn. She asks for a second chance, and Declan leaves. Anna interprets this as rejection, so she goes outside and stands at a cliff over the sea. Declan follows her out and proposes to her with the ring he retrieved from his ex-fiance while in Dublin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-7775464491049637537?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/7775464491049637537/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/leap-year-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7775464491049637537'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7775464491049637537'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/leap-year-storyline.html' title='Leap Year -StoryLine'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-2025110305361112326</id><published>2010-01-12T06:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T06:28:45.166-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>2012 -StoryLine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://northshoremovies.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/2012-movie-poster.jpg" width="300" height="500" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley learns from a colleague in India that neutrinos from a massive solar flare are acting as microwave radiation, causing the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly. Adrian informs White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser and US President Thomas Wilson that this will trigger a catastrophic chain of natural disasters. At the G8 summit in 2010, other heads of state and heads of government are made aware of the situation. They begin a massive, secret project intended to ensure the survival of humanity. Approximately 400,000 people are chosen to board a series of ships (called arks) to be constructed in the Himalayas. The majority of tickets aboard the ships are reserved for heads of state, government officials and selected individuals chosen for their skills, while additional funding for the project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector at the price of 1 billion euros per person.&lt;br /&gt;In 2012, Jackson Curtis is a writer in Los Angeles who works part-time as a limousine driver for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's ex-wife Kate and their children Noah and Lilly live with her boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon Silberman. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a conspiracy theorist living as a hermit and hosting a radio show from the park. Charlie references a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge and a map of the secret ark project. The family returns home as cracks develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and large earthquakes occur in many places along the West Coast. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon when the Earth's Crust Displacement begins and they narrowly escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean.&lt;br /&gt;As millions die in cataclysmic earthquakes worldwide, destroying places such as Rio de Janeiro and the Vatican, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map. After retrieving the map, the group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who stayed behind to broadcast the eruption, is killed in the blast. Learning that the ships are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha. They join the group and secure an Antonov aircraft, fleeing just as Las Vegas is destroyed. Also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson chooses to remain in Washington D.C. to deliver the final State of the Union address. After surviving the fall of the Washington Monument, President Wilson is soon killed by a mega tsunami that sends USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President also dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser takes over as acting president.&lt;br /&gt;Arriving in China in a crash-landing that kills Sasha, the group is spotted by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Yuri and his sons, possessing tickets, are taken to the ships. The Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara, who do not have tickets, are picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk on his way to the arks. They stowaway aboard an ark with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, who has been working on the ark project. A tsunami approaches the site as tens of thousands are still attempting to board the final ark, and a large drill becomes lodged between the gears of the ark's hydraulics chamber, preventing a boarding gate from closing and rendering the ship unable to start its engines. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Gordon, and Tamara are killed, and the flooded ark is set adrift. Jackson and Noah free the drill from the closing mechanism, and the crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest.&lt;br /&gt;When the global floodwater from the tsunamis recedes, satellite data shows that Africa's elevation rose in relation to sea level, and the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu Natal are now the highest on the planet. The scientists are sure that the rest of the land on earth will soon rise above sea level, too. As three arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth from space, showing a drastically modified African continent.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-2025110305361112326?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/2025110305361112326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/2012-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2025110305361112326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2025110305361112326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/2012-storyline.html' title='2012 -StoryLine'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-8580661765748014286</id><published>2010-01-12T06:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T06:18:23.038-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><title type='text'>Funny tricky questions… Test your knowledge!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:georgia, verdana;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q Where was the first potato found?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: In the ground.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;______________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: What comes down but never goes up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: rain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_______________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: If three cats kill three rats in three minutes, how long will it take hundred cats to kill hundred rats?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: three minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;____________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: What can fly but has no wings?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: Time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;____________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: What always goes 2 sleeps wearing its shoes?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Ans: Horse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;____________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: I m like a ribbon, tied by nature, across the sky, what m I?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: Rainbow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_____________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: How would u write nineteen that if one is taken out, then its remains twenty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans: XIX when one is taken out, its remains XX.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Q: There were ten sparrows sitting on a tree.

She expresses her distaste with growing older than her boyfriend Edward Cullen, a vampire who stopped aging physically at 17. Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Edward's adoptive family throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to become overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger that he and his family pose to Bella, Edward ends their relationship, and the Cullens leave Forks, Washington permanently.&lt;br /&gt;Edward's departure leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months. However, when her father, Charlie, wants her to live with her mother in Florida, Bella agrees to spend time with her friends. After seeing a movie with Jessica, Bella sees a group of men on motorcycles. This reminds her of when Edward previously rescued her from an assault, and she sees his image warning her to stay away. Bella discovers that thrill-seeking activities evoke Edward's preserved image. She is also comforted by her deepening friendship with Jacob Black, a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. When Jacob is unable to see Bella for weeks, she discovers that he is a werewolf, an age-old enemy of vampires. Jacob's pack members are on constant patrol for Victoria, a vampire searching to kill Bella due to the death of her mate, leaving Jacob little time to spend with her. Alone again, Bella returns to seeking thrill-inducing activities.&lt;br /&gt;Through a series of miscommunications, Edward believes Bella has killed herself. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, a powerful vampire coven capable of killing him, by exposing himself in the sunlight. Alice, Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, and arrive just in time to stop him. However, the Volturi determine that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. Alice stops them from killing her by sharing her premonition with Aro, a Volturi elder who is able to read thoughts, in which Bella has been transformed. Returning to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he always loved her and only left to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward and Jacob's dismay. Edward gives Bella a choice: either she lets Alice change her after their graduation, or, if Bella agrees to marry him, he will change her himself. However, Jacob reminds Edward of the treaty the Cullens made with the Quileutes: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens never bite a human.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-3814295823754218425?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/3814295823754218425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/twilight-new-moon-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3814295823754218425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/3814295823754218425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/twilight-new-moon-storyline.html' title='Twilight New Moon -Storyline'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-2231445700042201377</id><published>2010-01-09T23:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-09T23:37:48.034-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>3 idiots - StoryLine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a&gt; &lt;img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/Threeidiots2.jpg" width="300" height="500" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three engineering students who share a room in a hostel at the fictional Imperial College of Engineering, one of the best colleges in India. While Farhan and Raju are mediocre students from modest backgrounds who want to lift their families out of poverty, Rancho is a wealthy genius who studies for the sheer joy of it. However, Rancho's passion for knowledge and machine-building rather than exam rankings, conforming to the system and social climbing, incurs the wrath of Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe (ViruS) (Boman Irani). Rancho irritates his lecturers by giving creative and unorthodox answers, and confronts ViruS after fellow student Joy Lobo hangs himself in his dormitory room. Joy had requested an extension on his major project on compassionate grounds—his father had suffered a stroke—but ViruS refused, saying that he himself was completely unmoved by his own son's accidental death after being hit by a train. The professor then proceeded to phone Lobo's ill father and inform him that his son will not be graduating. Rancho denounces the rat-run, dog-eat-dog, mindless rote learning mentality of the institution, blaming it for Lobo's death, after which ViruS hauls his rebellious student and forces him to lecture the other students. Rancho then embarrasses the staff and students by asking them questions about non-existent concepts (Farhanitrate and Prerajulization), prompting them to feverishly search through textbooks trying to find a definition.&lt;br /&gt;Threatened by Rancho's talent and free spirit, ViruS labels him an "idiot" and attempts on a number of occasions to destroy his friendship with Farhan and Raju, warning them and their parents to steer clear of Rancho. In contrast, ViruS’ model student is Chatur Ramalingam or "Silencer", (Omi Vaidya) who sees a high rank at the prestigious college as his ticket to higher social status, corporate power, and therefore wealth. Chatur conforms to the expectations of the system, and works by mindless rote learning, and unethical means of destroying his competition, such as trying to distract his classmates by feeding them pornography magazines. Rancho humiliates Chatur, who is awarded the honour of making a speech at an award ceremony, by inserting obscenities into the text, which has been written by the librarian. Chatur proceeds to mindlessly memorise and read the speech without noticing that anything is amiss, directing frequent vulgar language at ViruS and the federal education minister, much to their horror, and to the students' uproarious laughter.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Rancho also falls in love with ViruS' medical student daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) when he, Raju and Farhan crash her sister's wedding banquet in order to get a free meal. This incident provokes further run-ins with ViruS, but Rancho wins over Pia after first insulting her fiancee Suhas and then demonstrating that Suhas only sees Pia's hand in marriage as a means of furthering his career by marrying into an influential family. Rancho does this by damaging Suhas's expensive material goods, and then confiscating Suhas's gifts to Pia. The latter incident provokes an angry tirade from Suhas towards Pia about how much money she has lost him—he thinks that she was absent-minded and lost the present. After this, the pair fall in love and Pia saves Raju's ill father by administering emergency treatment after he collapses.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the three students continue to anger ViruS, although Rancho continues to come first in every exam, while Chatur is always second, and Farhan and Raju are inevitably in the last two positions. The tensions come to a head when the three friends, who are already drunk, break into ViruS's house at night to see Pia, and then urinate on a door inside the compound before running away when ViruS senses intruders. The next day, ViruS tells Raju that he is being expelled. This devastates Raju, who is afraid that his ill father will die of the shock of his only son being cast aside and being unable to support the family and earn a dowry for his unmarried sister. ViruS sees an opportunity to break Raju's friendship with Rancho by offering to expel the latter instead. Unable to choose between betraying his friend or letting down his family, Raju jumps out of the window and lands on a courtyard, but after extensive care from Pia and his roommates, awakes from a coma.&lt;br /&gt;The experience has changed Farhan and Raju, and they adopt Rancho's outlook. Farhan decides to pursue his love of photography, while Raju is unexpectedly given an interview for a corporate job. He attends in plaster and a wheelchair and gives a series of non-conformal and frank answers. After turning Raju down, the stunned recruitment personnel change their mind and tell Raju to name whatever salary he wants. However, ViruS in unsympathetic and vows to make the final exam as hard as possible so that Raju is unable to graduate. Pia hears him and angrily confronts him, and when ViruS gives the same ruthless reply he gives to his students, she denounces him in the same way that Rancho did over the suicide of Lobo. Pia reveals that Viru's son and her brother was not killed in an accident but committed suicide in front of a train and left a letter because ViruS had forced him to pursue a career in engineering over his love for literature; ViruS always mentioned that he unsympathetically failed his son on the ICE entrance exams over and over to every new intake of ICE students. After this, Pia walks out on the family home, and takes ViruS's spare keys with her. She tells Rancho of the exam, and he and Farhan break into ViruS's office and steals the exam and give it to Raju, who with his new-found attitude, is unconcerned with the prospect of failing, and refuses to cheat and throws the paper away. However, ViruS catches the trio and expels them on the spot. However, they earn a reprieve when Viru's pregnant elder daughter goes into labour at the same time. A heavy storm cuts all power and traffic, and Pia is still in self-imposed exile, so she tells Rancho to deliver the baby in the college common room with the help of a webcam, after Rancho restores power with a self-styled electricity generator that ViruS had earlier mocked. After the baby is apparently stillborn, Rancho resuscitates it. ViruS reconciles with Rancho and his friends and allows them to take their final exams and they graduate. Rancho comes first and is awarded ViruS's pen, which the professor had been keeping for decades before finding a brilliant enough student to gift it to.&lt;br /&gt;Their story is framed as a flashback from the present day, ten years after Chatur vowed revenge on Rancho for embarrassing him at the speech night and promised to become more successful than Rancho a decade later. Having lost contact with Rancho, who disappeared during the graduation party and went into seclusion, Raju and Farhan begin a journey to find him. They are joined by Chatur, now a wealthy and successful businessman, who joins them, brazenly confident that he has surpassed Rancho. Chatur is also looking to seal a deal with a business associate named Phunsukh Wangdu. Chatur sees Wangdu, who has hundreds of patents, as his ticket to further social climbing. When they find Rancho's house, they walk into his father's funeral, and find a completely different Rancho. After accusing the new man of stealing their friend's identity and profiting from his intellect, the host pulls a gun on them, but Farhan and Raju turn the tables by seizing the father's ashes and threatening to flush them down the toilet. The householder capitulates and says that their friend was a destitute servant boy who loved learning, while he, the real Rancho, was a lazy wealthy child who disliked study, so the family agreed to let the servant boy study in Rancho's place instead of labouring. In return, the real Rancho would pocket the qualifications and the benefits thereof, while the impersonator would sever all contact with the world and start a new life. The real Rancho reveals that his impersonator is now a schoolteacher in Ladakh.&lt;br /&gt;Raju and Farhan then find Pia, and take her from her wedding day to Suhas by performing the same tricks with his material possessions, and having Raju turn up to the ceremony disguised as the groom and eloping with Pia in front of the guests. When they arrive in Ladakh, they see a group of enthusiastic ethnic Tibetan children who are motivated by love of knowledge. Pia and the fake Rancho rekindle their love, while Chatur mocks and abuses the schoolteacher before walking away. When his friends ask what his real name is, he reveals that it Phunsukh Wangdu and phones Chatur, who has turned his back, to turn around and meet his business partner. Chatur is horrified and falls to his knees, trying to flatter Phunsukh Wangdu.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-2231445700042201377?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/2231445700042201377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-idiots-storyline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2231445700042201377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/2231445700042201377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-idiots-storyline.html' title='3 idiots - StoryLine'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-5124746340039307534</id><published>2010-01-09T23:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-09T23:11:33.717-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joke'/><title type='text'>When the Game is Fun, the Goals Get Done</title><content type='html'>&lt;a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://desicolours.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/animal%20fun08.jpg" width="300" height="200" border="0" alt="uptown funs"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When I wrote recently about the Top 10 Qualities of Your Next Winning Goal, I never expected to hear so much feedback about quality #1 – FUN. "Goals should be fun?" some of you asked. And, "what's all this talk about a game?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People were both surprised and delighted to see that fun was included, let alone at the top of the list! Goals had always seemed like work, downright drudgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, those reactions were a clear indication that we need to think about work, goals and having fun in different ways. In fact, look at your to do list right now – go ahead – and tell me, how many of the items are things you enjoy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're one of those people who was surprised to see FUN at the top of a list about goals, this is your call to get the fun ball rolling. This is your chance to be a hero, not just in your own life, but to be a changing force in the lives of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are five ways that you can choose FUN:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make your work fun.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're an employee, while it's true that you may not have control over the projects you're working on or the deadlines you have to meet, you DO have control over your mindset. Make it FUN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you're having fun, you're using your strengths and feeling good about yourself and what you're doing. Remember, you were chosen for this job. Your employer saw good things in you. How can you bring those things into your daily work tasks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make mistakes.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mistakes are great, as long as you learn from them. If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking any risks. You're also probably taking yourself and your work way too seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you've got room to experiment, try new things and make mistakes, work automatically becomes more fun. And that's contagious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Become the ambassador of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a culture of fun at your workplace. In one organization I coached, they had a party at the end of every single tracking period. In another company, they held a sales contest with simple prizes and had a big event to acknowledge the winners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what there is to celebrate – one department met a deadline, one individual won an award – bring the whole organization together to have fun and feel connected to that big picture of success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Win the smile Olympics.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't feel like smiling? Smile! Someone didn't smile at you? Smile!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smiling is one of the easiest and simplest ways to keep your spirits up and have an immediate impact on others around you. Smiling relieves stress, eases tension and shifts your mindset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another organization I've worked with renamed their receptionist the Director of First Impressions. Smiling is an important part of her job description. Make it part of yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Add yourself back to the list.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that to do list that didn't have any fun things on it? Now's the time to add those back. And your personal goals might need just as much of a fun makeover as your professional goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you enjoy your family activities more if GETTING there was as much fun as being there? How can you make a game out of keeping everyone on time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you enjoy going to the gym more if you went with a buddy? Listened to your favorite music? Or if you scheduled your visits so that you can watch that "guilty pleasure" TV show while you walk on the treadmill?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-5124746340039307534?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/5124746340039307534/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/when-game-is-fun-goals-get-done.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5124746340039307534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/5124746340039307534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/when-game-is-fun-goals-get-done.html' title='When the Game is Fun, the Goals Get Done'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-603937330928913278</id><published>2010-01-06T07:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T07:18:28.773-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='avatar'/><title type='text'>Avatar - StoryLine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/avatar-storyline.html"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="http://static.reelmovienews.com/images/gallery/avatar-movie-poster_353x529.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 2154, the RDA corporation is mining Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) heads the mining operation, and it employs former marines for security. The corporation intends to exploit Pandora's reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. Pandora is inhabited by the Na’vi, a blue-skinned neolithic species of sapient humanoids with feline characteristics. Physically stronger and taller than humans, the Na'vi live in harmony with Nature, worshiping a mother goddess called Eywa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Humans cannot survive exposure to Pandora’s atmosphere for very long and use oxygen masks. In an attempt to improve relations with the natives, scientists create human-Na’vi hybrids called avatars, controlled by genetically-matched human operators. The scientists also lead schools for the Na'vi to learn English and to interact with the humans. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former marine, becomes a last-minute replacement for his identical twin brother, a recently-murdered scientist trained to be an avatar operator. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), the head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement for his brother, and relegates him to a bodyguard role.&lt;br /&gt;Jake escorts Augustine and biologist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) on an exploratory mission in their avatar forms to make contact with the Na'vi, in order to help establish diplomatic relations to solve the problem of resources and end the constant threat of violence. The group is attacked by a large predator, and Jake becomes separated and lost. Attempting to survive the night in Pandora’s dangerous jungles, he is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), a female Na'vi. Neytiri brings Jake to Hometree, which is inhabited by Neytiri’s clan, the Omaticaya. Mo'at (C. C. H. Pounder), the Na'vi shaman and Neytiri's mother, shows interest in the warrior "Dream-walker" (their term for the Avatars), and instructs her daughter to teach Jake their ways. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), leader of the security forces for RDA, promises Jake his "real legs" back in exchange for intelligence about the natives and what it will take for them to abandon Hometree, which rests above a large deposit of unobtanium.&lt;br /&gt;Over three months, Jake grows close to Neytiri and the Omaticaya and begins preferring the life he lives through the avatar. Jake's attachment erodes his loyalty toward RDA's agenda. He is initiated into the Omaticaya, and he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake's change of loyalty is revealed when he disables a bulldozer's cameras as it destroys the tribe's 'Tree of Voices'. Col. Quaritch disconnects Jake from his avatar and presents Selfridge and Dr. Augustine with a vlog in which Jake admits that his mission is fruitless; the humans have nothing the Omaticaya desire, and they will never abandon Hometree. Selfridge is convinced that negotiations will fail and orders Hometree's destruction.&lt;br /&gt;Augustine argues that the destruction of Hometree could affect the vast bio-botanical neural network that all Pandoran organisms are connected to, and Selfridge gives Jake one hour to convince the Na’vi to leave Hometree. When he reveals his mission to the Omaticaya, Neytiri accuses him of betraying them, resulting in Jake and Augustine's imprisonment. Jake’s time runs out and Quaritch’s forces destroy Hometree, killing Eytucan (Wes Studi), Neytiri's father and clan chief, and many others. Jake and Augustine are disconnected from their avatars and detained for treason along with Norm. Trudy Chacón (Michelle Rodriguez), a security force pilot who is disgusted by the violence, breaks them out. During their escape Quaritch shoots Augustine. With Augustine dying, Jake turns to the Omaticaya for help. To regain their trust he tames the Toruk, a powerful flying beast that only five Na'vi have ever tamed. Jake flies to the Omaticaya, who have gathered at the sacred Tree of Souls, and pleads with Mo'at to heal Augustine. They attempt to transplant her "soul" into her avatar, but her injuries are too severe.&lt;br /&gt;With the assistance of Neytiri and Tsu'Tey (Laz Alonso), the new leader of the Omaticaya, Jake assembles thousands of Na'vi from other clans. Jake prays to Eywa to intercede on behalf of the Na'vi in the coming battle. Quaritch, noting the rapid mobilization of Na'vi clans, convinces Selfridge to authorize a preemptive strike on the Tree of Souls. Because it is a center of Na'vi religion and culture, its destruction would leave the Na'vi too demoralized to resist further human encroachment.&lt;br /&gt;As the humans attack, the Na'vi fight back but suffer heavy casualties, among them Tsu'Tey and Trudy. When the Na'vi are on the verge of defeat, the Pandoran wildlife suddenly attacks the humans, overwhelming them. Neytiri interprets this as Eywa answering Jake's prayer. Jake destroys the main bomber before it can reach the Tree of Souls. Quaritch escapes in an AMP (Amplified Mobility Platform) suit, finds the avatar interface pod where Jake's human body is located and attacks it, exposing Jake to Pandora's atmosphere. Neytiri kills Quaritch and saves Jake, seeing his human form. With the attack repelled, Jake and Neytiri reaffirm their love.&lt;br /&gt;The humans are expelled from Pandora, while Jake and his closest co-workers remain. Jake is seen wearing the insignia of the Omaticaya leader. The film ends with Jake's consciousness being transplanted into his Na'vi avatar and his life continuing as a Na'vi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-603937330928913278?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/603937330928913278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/avatar-storyline.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/603937330928913278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/603937330928913278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/avatar-storyline.html' title='Avatar - StoryLine'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-4120817290566248648</id><published>2009-12-30T09:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-30T09:49:29.532-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joke'/><title type='text'>A Funny Truck Accident</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;THIS IS A VERY FUNNY ACCIDENT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F800c0bXNhQ&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F800c0bXNhQ&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-4120817290566248648?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/4120817290566248648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/funny-truck-accident.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4120817290566248648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/4120817290566248648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/funny-truck-accident.html' title='A Funny Truck Accident'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-3403523058393010145</id><published>2009-12-28T08:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-28T08:32:44.402-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breaking news'/><title type='text'>Gov.

If you've been laid off or your house is being threatened with foreclosure, even a gay home party may seem impossible. You are making a big mistake, because it is in just times such as these that we need our friends the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple years ago, I was in a serious panic about my financial security, my retirement woes, and my seeming inability to do anything at all about them. I was afraid to spend any money at all, and frankly, was so down in the dumps that it would have been a total waste if I had gone partying. But my friends and I came up with a wonderful way to spend New Year's Eve, that cost us very little, was amazingly entertaining, and is now a tradition that we look forward to doing for the rest of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, we are in the last third of our lives, so we had no concerns about kiddies at home, or teenagers out at wild drinking parties, or even on the roads with drunks driving around. What we decided to do is have a pajama party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, don't get nasty, or laugh at us. Think about it. What are the disadvantages of going out on New Year's Eve? Number one would be the huge expense, since all prices for dinners, shows, or hotel packages are usually greatly inflated for the holiday. And if you choose this form of entertainment you also need dressy clothing, accessories, a trip to the beauty shop, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second concern is drinking. At all of these events, it seems that drinking to excess is the major goal, which mean you will feel lousy, both during and after it is over. Driving in that condition is stupid and can be lethal, especially if you live in a cold climate where snow, sleet, and slush will further complicate things. And even if you aren't drunk, there are plenty of them on the road. Of course, you can always have a designated driver, who has a really terrific time pretending it was worth the money to watch you get stinking drunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if you made it through a really nice evening, where both the food and the entertainment were good, you weren't seated at a table with crashing boors, and you managed to sip your wine in moderation, you still have to take your aching feet and exhausted bodies home. This could include waiting in long lines to get a costly taxi, or, finding your car, warming it up, and possibly having to dig it out of the snow...and then facing the long drive home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, the hotel packages are a really good thing in this respect. It is far better to limp up to your room and snuggle into a warm bed at your hotel, sleep as late as you like, and have them serve your breakfast in your room. Pricey, but better than that long, cold drive home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So quit snickering and listen up. What my friends and I do is simply this. In the late afternoon, they show up at my house with pillows, blankets, jammies, a change of clothes, snacks and games. Nobody is on the streets yet, so it is an easy drive. Everything gets dumped in the guest bedroom for the time being, food gets stored, and off we go for an inexpensive dinner BEFORE the streets are packed and they hike up the prices. Jeans and sweats are worn...this is all about comfort and convenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon arriving home, we figure out our nesting arrangements, which are somewhat simple in my home, since I have a guest bedroom, two sofa beds, another couch, and a cot. But if the party got bigger, I would simply tell them to bring sleeping bags. The champagne goes in the frig, snacks are laid out, and then we chat, play cards, dominos, catch phrase, trivial pursuit, or whatever we feel like doing, including television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most interesting aspects of this, is that we have, for years, joked about having trouble staying up until midnight to toast the new year. But last year, we were having such a comfortable, wonderful time that we were up until almost 4:00 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once everyone is awake and hungry, we then make breakfast...usually pancakes or omelets, fruit, and whatever side meat someone contributes. By mid-afternoon we are usually ready to resume our daily lives. All of us agree that we wouldn't change a thing for next year's sleepover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I think of the ways I used to spend New Year's Eve, I realize how empty and sad those parties were. People get drunk and loud, and spend most of their time pretending they are having fun. We have no "morning after" blues, hangovers, or fear of having spent too much. Bonding with old friends is far easier in small, more intimate surroundings. And if you don't wake up in the morning with a headache and guilty feelings over your behavior or wasting money, it is truly a nice start to a better year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-104034085795977334?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/104034085795977334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-years-eve-can-be-fun-even-when.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/104034085795977334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/104034085795977334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-years-eve-can-be-fun-even-when.html' title='New Year&apos;s Eve Can Be Fun Even When Times Are Bad'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-16406671069650939</id><published>2009-12-26T09:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-26T09:38:33.780-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2009'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new year'/><title type='text'>A New Year's Eve Party at Home</title><content type='html'>New Years Eve... A night to say good bye to the old and ring in the new.. For many people it is a night of revelry and fancy festivities. At our home it has always been a night of family and friends gathering together for food and fun. When our children were little, and we were much younger, they hated for us to go out on New Years Eve, even when I bribed them with their favorite babysitter, who I had booked months in advance. When our oldest got to be 6, she told me that she all she wanted for Christmas was for us to stay home on New Year's Eve and have a big New Years Eve party with the kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From that little request, our family began a New Year's Eve tradition that lasted over 10 years. We invited friends over with their children, family with the cousins and began holding our "Ring It and Sing It " New Year's Eve party. No fancy outfits, no costly dinners or expensive parties and no babysitter. That tradition turned out to be one of our family's favorite holiday celebrations. Now that the kids are older and out on their own, I still get melancholy on New Year's Eve as I remember all the fun we had when the house was noisy, chaotic and filled with kids. We would let them decorate the house with New Year's decorations, get hats, balloons and noisemakers. They would make Countdown Cards for the number of kids that would be there each year. If there were 15 of them, at 11:45 as the big clock on the Dick Clark New Years special would countdown, they would each come parading into the main room doing silly dances or cheers, holding their Countdown Number as the clock ticked down. Everyone else would applaud each one and blow their noisemakers! The kids were always each hoping that they would get the #1 card and be the last one before we all crowded around the television to watch the Big Ball in Times Square drop down to officially signal the start of the New Year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes all the adults still gather here but it is not quite the same without all the kids and their enthusiasm to stay up til midnight and enjoy the hoopla of the New Year's countdown. Last year our 2 oldest children asked if they could plan a reprise of our old New Year's Eve parties at the house. Sure enough, they did and it was wonderful and great fun.. perhaps a new tradition is in the making. So if you are contemplating what to do this New Year's Eve.. maybe a family New Year's Eve party at home with family and friends could be an option for your own group.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-16406671069650939?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/16406671069650939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-years-eve-party-at-home.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/16406671069650939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/16406671069650939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-years-eve-party-at-home.html' title='A New Year&apos;s Eve Party at Home'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-8195376924839401546</id><published>2009-12-23T07:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T07:21:41.599-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christmas'/><title type='text'>Five Perfect Sports to Have a Merry Christmas 2009</title><content type='html'>Christmas day, celebrated as a major festival and public holiday in most countries of the world, even in many which are not majority Christian is a very important holiday around the whole world. All levels of people celebrate it in their own way. Every one has his own idea about Christmas, while there are still some people who don't know how to celebrate it. Don't worry about it if you still don't have any idea. Here I will tell you some wonderful ideas to have yourself a merry Christmas 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Party time. It's well-known that Christmas day is also a party time. So you can hold a ball or party at your home and invite your friends to attend. As an saying goes, you're not the last lonely one around the world. There are two many people who are as lonely as you. So have a merry Christmas together. Keep that misery loves company in your mind for ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trip. Christmas day is the optimal season for people who are often occupied with work. Just have a fabulous trip with your friends or families. You can release the body fatigue and breathe natural air during Christmas holidays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video games. People don't have enough time to spend on video games most of the time when they're working. So you can spend your whole Christmas day on playing video games at home. You can take your long-time-no-see console and greet a long-lost feeling relaxed. This is a perfect idea for boys. All boys are video game fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shopping. There will be amount of Christmas promotions every year. Many online stores like to use all kinds of gimmicks to attract customers, such as price-off promotions, discounted promotional tickets, all kinds of cash coupons and vouchers and free-shipping promotions. You can take this chance to have a crazy Christmas shopping. There are many discount goods, such as R4 cards, consoles and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bedtime. If you have a chronic sleep loss, you can get lots of rest during such a long holiday. But I don't think it's an ingenious idea. But frankly speaking, it's very common.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/five-perfect-sports-to-have-merry.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.iresq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/christmas_animated_gifs_28.gif" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;MERRY CHRISTMAS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-8195376924839401546?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/8195376924839401546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/five-perfect-sports-to-have-merry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8195376924839401546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/8195376924839401546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/five-perfect-sports-to-have-merry.html' title='Five Perfect Sports to Have a Merry Christmas 2009'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-7947389150633906514</id><published>2009-12-23T06:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T06:34:28.685-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tiger Woods'/><title type='text'>Hey Leave Tiger Woods Alone - He is Great Human Being</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.worldgolf.com/wg_blog_media/golf-for-beginners/cartoon_tiger_woods.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 344px;" src="http://media.worldgolf.com/wg_blog_media/golf-for-beginners/cartoon_tiger_woods.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;It's amazing how many people don't trust the media in the United States, and I happen to be one of them and I'd like to explain to you why. You don't have to look any further than the attacks on the personal integrity and personal character of Tiger Woods, after he got into a car accident outside his home. The media completely fueled speculation of a cover-up of some type, and that there was more to this story. The reality is that the media loves to burn people down, and their favorite people to burn down are those that they have built up over the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Tiger Woods is not a normal celebrity. He is a superstar of humanity, a winner, and a creative genius and eminent achiever in golf. He has worked tirelessly, competitively, and he deserves everything he's amassed, as well as the notoriety and fame he has achieved. If we as a society allow our media to trash such an excellent human being, then our media is no longer needed. In fact, I became quite disgusted, listening to all the celebrity pundits, and personal branding experts say negative things about one of my personal heroes; Tiger Woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly enough, I was not alone in my summation, and as I talk to all my friends about this issue, they agreed with me; the media needs to leave Tiger alone, he is a great person -period, end of story. I was quite happy to see that the media had done polls of what people had thought about the incident with Tiger Woods, and they all agreed that it was none of the media's business, that they had no right to pry into his personal life, and he wasn't some sort of popularized Hollywood movie star.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This guy has actually achieved something in life and become the best in the world at what he does because he works the hardest, trains the hardest, and focuses the most. It is no wonder that people don't trust the media. They try to sensationalize everything, and make stories out of nothing. Next time you see someone being exploited in the media like this, turn off the TV, and call the news station and tell them of your disapproval, disappointment, and disgust. Until we do that, the media will keep trashing the greatest people amongst us. And that just isn't right. Indeed, I hope you will please consider all this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4653154492977074392-7947389150633906514?l=uptownfuns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/feeds/7947389150633906514/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/hey-leave-tiger-woods-alone-he-is-great.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7947389150633906514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4653154492977074392/posts/default/7947389150633906514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uptownfuns.blogspot.com/2009/12/hey-leave-tiger-woods-alone-he-is-great.html' title='Hey Leave Tiger Woods Alone - He is Great Human Being'/><author><name>ALAN OTTAPLACKAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05095270127843635426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rr0kw0q-lxw/SVo90oF47sI/AAAAAAAAAFY/mn26sCGG_zI/S220/NXT+DON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653154492977074392.post-8994959830194259959</id><published>2009-11-14T08:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T08:20:20.069-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joke'/><title type='text'>Food one-liners</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;The snack bar next door to an atom smasher was called "The Fission Chips."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April Fools Day, a mother put a fire cracker under the pancakes.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.” The teacher asked, ” What if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you ask him”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 2 A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.” Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 3 A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year old After explaining the commandment to “honor” thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?” Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, “Thou shall not kill.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 4 One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, “Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?” Her mother replied, “Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.” The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, “Momma, how come ALL of grandma’s hairs are white?”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 5 The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, he’s a doctor.’ A small voice at the back of the room rang out,”And there’s the teacher, she’s dead. ”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 6 A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, “Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face..” “Yes,” the class said. “Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?” A little fellow shouted, “Cause your feet ain’t empty.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Reason 7 The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.” Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, “Take all you want - God is watching the apples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
