Online Personal Branding 2

July 21st, 2010 by Ridhima Suri

The Internet is the real deal today. If you are not on the net, there is no way you can get the fullest potential for your business. Look at the number of business profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Orkut, MySpace & other social & professional networking portals. Then look at the number of online stores, online shoppers, and online brands. This phenomenal rise in the use of internet means different things to different people.

For the recruiter

A couple of years back, a recruiter had a limited database of potential job seekers. Now he is surprised to see the range of options available to him on websites like LinkedIn and Yahoo Hot Jobs. While companies create jobs, the recruiters are able to do a great job. More jobs, more business, better economies, get the picture..

For the regular internet user

Inception (2010)

July 19th, 2010 by Ridhima Suri

*This post has mild spoilers-only what you see in promos & my take on the movie*

Is Inception a complex psycho mind thriller? Yes.

Is Inception full of brilliant ideas ? Absolutely yes.

Is Inception likely to keep you engaged ? There is no doubt about it.

Why watch Inception?

That’s a yes too if you want to experience the thrill of watching something unexpected. You will like this movie for a great narrative, excellent cinematography, superb visual effects, and above all-a great idea! The movie is an action thriller to some and a love story to others. For me, it was just a complex mind game and I clenched by fists as I saw the drama unfold. I did not use my phone during the movie. I was not bored. I was simply engaged and felt the ‘almost real’ special effects.

I loved the scenes shot in the snow, the cracking buildings, the zero gravity fight scenes, and the falling car with sleeping people. The mind is so unpredictable-you never know where it wanders. After watching the movie I read tweets, blog posts, and also discussed the movie with my friends. While everyone raved about the movie, there were many twists and turns that remained twisted..:)

I Hate Luv Storys (2010) Review

July 3rd, 2010 by Ridhima Suri

Read to see why you will like or hate I Hate Luv Storys that released yesterday. This post has no spoilers.

If you are planning to watch this Karan Johar flick you may like it for these reasons:

  1. Songs are good.
  2. Imran Khan acts well.
  3. Sonam acts well too. Does not look pretty in all the shots.
  4. There are funny moments-you will laugh-more in the first half.
  5. The concept was  good to start with.

That was the good part. Now the bad part. You will absolutely hate this movie for these reasons:

  1. The concept was good. It was a takeoff on cliche love stories. In the end it was one itself! The movie starts well..has potential..and somewhere down the line everyone goes to sleep.
  2. The length of the movie. They decided to make a movie for 2.5 hours. Then they came up with content.  After the intermission, I wished the movie got over after 10 mins, 20 mins, & 25 mins.

If you have nothing else to do, knock yourself out with this new movie. Overall the movie is a spoof on Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, etc which makes it interesting but there is nothing more..
