The Village (2004)

Well its not a bad movie for one-time-watch. I happened to guess the movie plot accidentally when I was half through it. I watched this EFC episode few hours before I saw the village.

T.V. is good movie. Good acting, good background score (I love violins), nice build up and okay ending.

Sherpalo Ventures - Guiding entrepreneurs with disruptive ideas and technology to the summit of business success

I found following definitions from above site.. and the text is indeed interesting..

What is disruptive technology?
The term disruptive technology was coined by Clayton M. Christensen to describe a new, possibly lower performance, but less expensive product that addresses an existing market. The disruptive technology starts by gaining a foothold in the low-end, and less demanding, part of the market, then moves up-market through performance improvements, and finally displaces an incumbent's product.
By contrast, a sustaining technology provides improved performance only and, according to Christensen, will almost always be incorporated into the incumbent's product.

Music break part 1...

Optimix of aadat by naveed is the order of day.. If you haven’t already then, download it from http://www.pakmediarevolution.com .. Not all remixes are worht listenign and even few do actual justice with the original song.. However this one is real cool.. I literally stopped listening to aadat after i fell in love with "bikhra hoon mein" but now i have "habit" of aadat ..

Atif aslam is big time looser :).. i love calling him looser.. i don't know why.. but it feels good. :) His cover of junoon song dosti seems like an attempt to get attraction of salman ahmed, in case salman splits with ali azmat.. :) Nice dream though.. I must say atif has a nice voice .. really nice one but only if he don't come in his videos and promise to never put his picture again in his albums then it world would be much better place.

Listen to Atif’s song yaqeen and then listen to junoon song khwaab.. . And tell me what you notice. ;) Nothing, do it again.. You will find how genius is he in identifying a formulae..

Aaroh new song “yaara” is good but still they are not producing any thing close to their excellent song “sawaal”.. yar you people can do better and am eagerly waiting for your second album..

And now the best thing that I have listened to in years.. Rubber band by Rubber band.. They really have nice sense of humor.. Vocals were too good.. At some places better then those who they were mocking.. This is must song for all serious listeners.. (its music break right!!) go to http://www.apniisp.com/pop_songs.html and scroll down to download this song..
