Trip Down Philosophy Lane

Songs:
On the road again - Canned heat
Further up on the road - Eric Clapton



Im on my way to my grandparent's house after a really long time in a car with my relatives and i realize something, Road Trip's are fun! especially when in a car with fast beat songs playing loudly while cruising along an empty scenic highway.
Its not just the relaxation that's impressive, its also the new perspective you gain and the fact that there's finally enough time to think about things which are usually pushed aside in the madness of daily routine

One such thing that i was thinking of today when my relative's were talking about an approaching Hindu festival, Vinayak Chathurthi, faith, and im not talking about religious faith.The artisans

Dark Clouds Of Hope

Songs: Let It Rain -Eric Clapton
          Rainmaker - Iron maiden
       


Its that time of the year again,when clean water is hard to get and stepping into the sun turns into the most arduous task. And at time like this, the sight of dark clouds far from being a sign of doom are the embodiment of joy and hope.

Hope that it will rain soon, hope to smell the mud dripping with the elixir of life,the hope to see the

Sleepy combination!

Novel: The Human Factor
Author: Graham Greene
Songs:  Knocking On Heaven's Door - Guns N' Roses
           Your Decision - Alice in Chains
            Only hope - Switchfoot



I don't know if its just me, but the above combination does not go very well with cloudy skies!
I've barely finished the first 3 chapters of the book and heard these songs among a few others and i'm sleepy!
Make no mistake, the songs are really good slow rock songs. The book is a decent read but starts slow, its the combination that's so soothing, so sleepy.

So anyway, i'm off to catch a nap at midday! cya folks soon!

Imagination drawn!

Comics-"the arrangement of pictures or images and words to narrate a story or dramatize an idea."

Comics have been a means of expression since man started drawing.

In this post, ill mainly be talking about japanese comics (manga), their animated versions aka anime,comic books and comic strips.

People claim that comics are for kids.This, i think, is fundamentally wrong.

A lot of the anime on tv is meant for a young audience.But not all the anime is aired on tv.
Anime usually contains a lot of shounen. This should not be considered a deciding factor because the themes the anime deals with vary widely.

The shows on tv deal with themes which are meant for children to learn from like friendship and loyalty. These are idealistically portrayed and unrealistic but are fun to watch and learn from.The anime that is meant for a more mature audience deals with a lot more than just this, they deal with wars, corruption, murders, Armageddon, pride, arts, love, romance etc

Another thing that is particular to anime, is the humor which is par excellence. The fact that anime are drawn means the expressions are exaggerated to evoke laughter.Morover because they are drawings, everything the writer has in mind can be drawn and represented exactly as the writer intends it making them fun to watch.

Comic strips are mainly aimed at making readers laugh and usually succeed while still getting a point across in 4-16 pictures.
