As Wikipedia says, A cult film (also known as a cult movie/picture or a cult classic) is a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans. Usually, cult films have limited but very special, noted appeal. Cult films are often known to be eccentric and do not follow traditional standards of mainstream cinema and usually explore topics not considered in any way mainstream.

Today, I take this opportunity to pick out 5 such awesome cult classics that has a devout fan following & is a pleasure to watch too. It won’t be judicious to compare & rate them and hence i declare that no mathematical algorithm has been followed while listing them down. It’s random. Do grab a DVD and check them out.

Imagine a person looking to buy a car 20 years back. His/her choices were simply limited to either a Maruti 800 or an Ambassador or a Fiat Premier Padmini. A person looking for utility in the city would go for the 800. People looking for space and comfort, the Ambassador and the big family which wanted a mix of both went for the Premier Padmini. Coming to the present, we car buyers have been spoilt for choice. There are multiple options at every single price point and every car manufacturer worth its salt is setting up factories in India.

21000 ATMs running 24×7x365, millions of withdrawals a day and tonnes of paper wasted.

Can’t see the connection? Let me shed some light.

But strangely enough, SBI has not yet joined the Green Revolution. Read more…

Earlier this year I happened to visit my friend Richard in the UK. Richard and I had met in Delhi few years back and gradually realized that we had something in common-a genuine liking for fast cars!

Richards father is an industrialist. And not just any industrialist,a very popular one indeed. And this gave Richard an entire garage of luxury cars to select from. There were the Mercs,the Beamers,the Astons and his dads favorite the Rolls Royce Phantom. Now as little Richard was man enough(as his Dad felt), Daddy wanted to gift his son a new car on his 24th b’day. And guess which car was on the line.Well,a Porsche 911 Turbo(997). Read more…

“We love them & just can’t live without them”

That’s true about Open Source Software.

Open source software are those nifty indispensable free applications that make our life easier. Everyday.

They are developed by organizations, often non-profit, or by a group of passionate developers who believe that users have the right to control their own data. And hell, we respect them in return for empathizing with our emotions.

There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

goes a witty quote by Winston Churchill. For most, just the mere thought of delivering a presentation or speaking in front of an audience scares the living out of them.

People often cite poor comand over a language as an excuse for not being good at presentation skills.

Although I do agree that the former is an important ingredient. Read more…
