The Butterfly Effect 5:11 AM

This movie rightly obtains the "R" Rating because of the complex plot it contains. Not every person would understand this movie because as I mostly say, perceptions would vary, hence getting a different understanding of the story altogether. This flavor of this movie is something similar to that of Donnie Darko or Jacob's Ladder – A story with a very complex portal to a simple plot and a beautiful underlying meaning. Here the movie is something about "Trying to repair a morbid past for a pleasant future". The story is very intense and thrilling and keeps you engaged throughout. At times you would find yourself left in the dark (which you would eventually appreciate at the end of the movie). The story would indulge you and take you for a good trip (that’s ofcourse only if you want to get indulged) The ability of the director to materialize the idea is awesome, visually and mentally. Ashton Kutcher acted amazingly well in this movie. The message of the movie was amazing, a child's life is always tender and delicate. Every event has a huge impact at a later point of life.

As beautifully said - "Something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world." Every small thing in life matters.

The Code Geass 11:59 PM

Be it a seriously directed Christopher Nolan or David Cronenberg movie or a Funny Cartoon or Colorful Anime. At the end of the day after relishing the entertainment, there are very serious morals which many of us fail to grasp. The story might bring out a deliberate moral as you watch a movie or series, meanwhile in parallel you must also let your conscience try and grasp the other smaller hints and philosophies in a story. There are various examples to pen down, but as of now I would like to appreciate a beautifully crafted anime series called - Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion.

It is a 50 Episode series split into two seasons. And I recommend that it is a must watch if you like philosophies, excellent planning and strategy. The anime has very good animation and dialogues and it is not suggested for the younger audience. The storyline is very simple - An aristocratic student, The protagonist - Lelouch Vi Britannia is an egoistic genius who tries to create a better world for his dear sister with a powerful ability that he obtains called the "Geass" which enables him to modify the thoughts of any person. Lelouch also tries to balance his school life and his plans of rebellion. The Anti-Hero – Kururugi Suzaku an honest and just soldier also has a very similar life and Aim as Lelouch.

The anime proves a two very strong statements when it comes to removal of corruption and politics -

"You need to get your hands dirty if you need to clean something"
"Solving a problem is always the best if started from the top".


That’s a just a cartoon if you look at it that way but if you realize that today in real life, be it any organization or company or even an educational institution, you can't just set things right by cribbing and complaining about the system standing at the bottom. Gone are the days where problem solving is correlated to the felling of the tree. I’ll share my learning experience - Take an (my) educational institution for example - A place now where students put in loads of their parent's money just for a certificate with education which I would say now has become just a “value added service” in the majority of Colleges today in India. The lecturers and professors in these colleges? Don’t ask, your child can teach you better.

Now how would you solve such a problem? Try to explain to the faculty for not meeting up to their standards? The immediate response you would get – You are a repulsive character. You convince your peers and they decide to help you. You would become a bad element trying to create a rebellious community. Try to explain problems to a higher official; Response: You have crossed the limits as a student. You achieve a great feat; Response: Ignorance. Commit a very small mistake; Response: Exaggerated Punishments, and discernment.

Result: Peers back out and they prefer the best way out by trying to bake beans on both ends. Problem ultimately is not solved. You get to live a life of an outcast. This is with regard to a small educational institution, but when its concerning a Country, you can imagine the intensity.

This Anime series explains how a similar kind of a problem is solved in a fancy environment with a scenario of tyranny and dictatorship. A must watch.

“I destroy worlds, to create worlds” – Lelouch Lamperouge

Blogging after a very long time 1:38 PM

Blogging has always been in the corner of my mind. Its like following a balanced diet for me - Which means that I have the "I-will-begin-tomorrow" Factor.

I was just reading my previous posts and it took me down memory lane as to why I decided to even start writing a blog. It was funny that I was using my own blog for a name-sake marketing purpose. I have always wanted means to express my thoughts in my mind in some way. In fact I end up spending some money buying a fancy Notebook or Pen wanting to write a Diary or a log book from a particular date. But looking into my own basement always helps and this time I found my dusty old Blog. :)

I re-named it as Pr♀♂igy from tæknifræði because it would be a Pandora’s Box rather than just technology and blahs. Something like Dr.Parnassus’ Imaginarium (Oh yes I did like that movie). It might have anything in it. My mind has been cluttered with a lot of things, the posts would be irregular, it might be utter rubbish or it may have some food for thought too. As my perceptions on things differ a lot. Its Up to you to incept.

The journey of life has been a very knowledgeable one for me so far. Knowledgeable, as in not entirely education but also experience, emotions, philosophies and perceptions. But upon looking back as to how life gave me that knowledge always takes me into a never ending loop of “It-would-have-been-better-if-it-was-like-this” situations. At times it makes you wish that if you had the power to manipulate time, you would just correct the one small error you made recently, which in-turn would remind you of a bigger mistake that you made earlier and so on, if the list continues you would end up wishing that you were either a child or an environment when things would so perfect. The story would never be the same for everyone obviously, because that environment would vary and its that environment everyone wants and everyone tries to attain.
At the end of the day what is that environment? It could be a landscape of a beautiful sunset or atop the mountains or post-apocalyptic or just lots of shops without a cashier.
