<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">I was in Agartala for an outreach session of Wikipedia. Here's a quick wrap around of my visit:</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">My flight landed nearly at 5pm evening, a fine breeze was flowing and there was Nikhil, waiting for me outside. Nikhil & Aveek has been co-ordinating the whole event. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The NIT campus was nearly 45-50mins journey via car (trust me its quite long, but you'll love the natural beauty you get to see even when the sun is falling down). </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_5XJeH88fmM/T3lKcCZ8MxI/AAAAAAAAANk/tI6jExa1fMI/s1600/NIT_Agartala_outreach_3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_5XJeH88fmM/T3lKcCZ8MxI/AAAAAAAAANk/tI6jExa1fMI/s320/NIT_Agartala_outreach_3.JPG" width="320" /></a><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div>The following day comprised of two events primarily, a lecture by Dr. D.Udaya Kumar, asst. Prof, IIT Guwahati<b> </b>(The man behind the Indian currency symbol)<b> </b>follwed by the Wiki workshop. I started off with the basic meaning of the term 'Wiki+pedia' then informed them about the Wikimedia Foundation & its projects. As the presentation moved forward, lots of queries started to pour in. It was nice to see that everyone did little bit of googling on Wikipedia before attending the workshop which made it easier for me to explain. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

I tried to be as clear as possible regarding the copyright vios as they have been an issue through out the India Education project. In the edit session we had lots of fun together editing, though the Wifi connection was troubling us, we managed to do quite a bit of editing. </div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The storyline is damn fast, once you get engrossed, no way you'll want to leave your seat..The film grasps you, holds you, till the very end...
<br />Direction is damn good & honestly no comments on the special effects!!!
<br />Roland Emmerich (the director) does a fine job. He portrays nearly every part of the crisis..
<br />Mind blowing special effects & heart stopping suspense embellishes the film.
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">But, not to miss the humanitarian side.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:85%;">You see, the film also draws our attention to a dark side..
<br />The team leaders gathered here to fight against this calamity didn't let normal people know about the raw fact. Instead whoever came to know of the reality was executed..
<br />I donno why the leaders decided to do so. May be to stop people from panicking..</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:85%;">But KILLING?? & that too at the time like this??
<br />In the movie Oliver Platt addresses these dead people as "<b style="">Enemy of Humanity</b>"!!
<br />I doubt what exactly crossed his mind.
<br />
<br />We also see tickets being sold at a price of <b style="">1 billion Euros</b>. Naturally, it was a luxury only the rich could afford it. No doubt the whole thing was kept top secret. The end was near & all they could think of was money (after all, they are human beings)</span>.

<br />He receives a call from his friend in India, who later became the victim of the rage of nature. In spite of being the first to anticipate this calamity..
<br />
<br />John Cusack plays a wonderful role, from beginning to end.Oliver Platt plays a man with logics. He believes in certain rules & regulations and thus acts accordingly..
<br />But being logical is a part of machine life, not human..</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Being human means to have feelings, to care, to share...
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">So, as a result, like all films, the leaders of different countries finally realize the fact and ordered to open the
<br />doors of that so called 'Noah's Ark' like ship so that more people can be accommodated..

After seeing it, something occurred to me.... This film was all about Las Vegas, the casino world & how people fight to make it to the top. So at the end, the film was all about backstabbing each other.<div><br />After a long 2hrs n 40min of watching I want to share something with you guys...</div><div><br />Is backstabbing a naturally acquired taste of every human being? I mean we all hear people say:<br /><b>“We hate people with two faces!!”</b> and all that stuff.... Even I utter the same lines sometimes. But perhaps at the days end we all end up backstabbing each other...<br />but why? Maybe we don’t know the answer, or maybe we all know...</div><div><br />We all have our feet on a clay field, so we feel uncomfortable whenever attention is drawn to our base. We all have certain drawbacks, no one is perfect. <b>Every human being has certain negativity blended with positivity.</b><br /><br />It is my realisation that, say we meet someone and become good acquaintances. Initially we get attracted to each other, of course seeing certain good characteristics of each other. But as days pass by and we get closer, we come to know each other in a much better way. We realise the other aspects, other shades of that person. We may like it or hate it.<br /><br />If we like it, it’s ok. But what happens if it’s the other way around?<br /><br />The answer is simple. There comes a crack in relationship. It just shatters… We blame each other unreasonably… We think, <b>“Was it the same person I liked???”</b><br /><br />My q is that why can’t we all accept the fact that we all have certain negative aspects and can do nothing about it except trying our best to correct them. Perhaps there is no single person living/dead who doesn’t/didn’t have negative aspects.<br /><br />So, my point is simple, if we could just accept this single fact & cooperate or better to say compromise a bit, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so many cracks in friendship or relationship like we all see around us.<br /><br />I donno whether I am right or wrong. But this is the way I think. What do you think?<br />Feel free to comment…<br
