Akira kurosawa's Dreams

Dreams stands as perhaps the biggest and most painful vanity project ever put to film. A dead soldier refuses to believe he is dead. Japanese nuclear plants explode and make Mt. Fuji appear to be erupting. A fox gets married in a magical forest. And in one of the most inexplicable ten minutes of celluloid ever released to the public, Martin Scorsese plays an English-speaking Vincent Van Gogh. He meets Kurosawa's alter-ego, who then traipses through life-size Van Gogh paintings before being surrounded by superimposed crows. A philosophical take on various issues that daunt humanity,Akira Kurosawa's Dreams is indeed magical. A well crafted movie that can truly find its place amongst the best of the lot.

The Student’s Prayer
Don’t impose on me what you know,
I want to explore the unknown
And be the source of my own discoveries.
Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.
The world of your truth can be my limitation;
Your wisdom my negation.
Don’t instruct me; let’s walk together.
Let my richness begin where yours ends.
Show me so that I can stand
On your shoulders.
Reveal yourself so that I can be
Something different.
You believe that every human being
Can love and create.
I understand, then, your fear
When I ask you to live according to your wisdom.
You will not know who I am
By listening to yourself.
Don’t instruct me; let me be.
Your failure is that I be identical to you.”
Umberto Maturana

The Red Wheel Barrow-William Carlos Williams
The perfect night out
Mysore which happens to be just about 150 kilometres from Bangalore is a frequent destination for many Banglorians to travel to. If you're driving and are zooming your way ahead, Maddur coffee day is one place where you can take a break and get some quality rest.Went for a night biking trip to the ccd located in Maddur on the way to Mysore.Its highly recommended for all of you having the adrenalin rush. This CCD is located 70 kms from Bangalore and is a hot spot for all those who pass by. This twenty four hour cafe is placed right in front of the Indra-Dhanush hotel and is a convenient place to catch a quick bite. As always this cafe coffee day is more popular among the teenagers. You get all the usual coffee, drinks and food but the cost is a bit more than that in Bangalore. The service is just as warm and the whole place is a comfortable retreat from travel and a perfect place for a weekend biking..
