Emotional Masturbation


Have you ever seen a Movie that just blew you off your feet?

My hands go high as Films have been one of my Greatest Inspirations. When they come with messages, they hit you hard don’t they?

You sometimes come out of the theatre watching a movie, say, which tells you so much about the importance of living your life and, you decide that, from now on, "I am not gonna waste a single moment of your life".
How long does this message stay within you?

How long does the effect of the movie last?  You are so very convinced about some of the messages sometimes, which you try to enact them for at least them for a few hours. But then, the effect decreases and then, you just continue to be who you are earlier.  

There are actors which I have tried to portray. My legends include Russell Crowe from Gladiator, Rock from Faster and a lot more.

I was once asked to give a speech about a movie that was starred once in my neighbourhood. That’s when I first used the term Emotional Masturbation (with some Scornful faces being created on the crowd).  I remember having heard it in One of Carlos’s Books.

Emotional Masturbation signifies the Pleasurable feeling generated within you when you watch movies which match your spirit at the moment. Lovers like to watch all romance Movies and feel all good about their wonderful relationship.

Emotional Masturbation is good to some degrees. It results in a lot of Inspiration on how to lead your life. But a continued dependence on it destroys the message all together neutralises the effect.

Some like to sulk about events which went bad and somehow they feel pleasure over it; say a break up (am naming the most common ones). That’s emotional Masturbation too! A form of emotional Masturbation, which is Very Dangerous!

Emotions in a human being are transient, always remember that. They keep on moving, that's why emotion is named "e-motion".

Emotion should set you in motion, not Masturbation. I don’t know, too much dependence on euphoria kills the whole process.  I just felt like letting this piece of information out.

Thedi Choru - A Translation and a Happy New Year

A very Happy New Year! I thought I'd do a translation of one of my favourite piece of poetry from Mahakavi Bharathiar. If you don’t know about him, there's Wikipedia. This guy has been demonstrating to me greatly, in how the vocabulary you think can greatly impact the way by which you act; in how the vocabulary in which you think, forges new strong behaviour into you. That's the ultimate power of language. Now that many of you will be having hopes, dreams and significant resolutions for the New Year, a more perfect stage can never be asked for. தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று - பல சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி - மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று - பிறர் வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து - நரை கூடிக் கிழப்பருவ மெய்தி - கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும் - பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே - நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ ? நின்னைச் சிலவரங்கள் கேட்பேன் - அவை நேரே இன்றெனக்குத் தருவாய் - என்றன் முன்னைத் தீயவினைப் பயன்கள் - இன்னும் மூளா தழிந்திடுதல் வேண்டும் - இனி என்னைப் புத...

Best Dialogues from V for Vendetta and their meanings and Quotations

“Creedy : Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die? V : Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.” V for Vendetta is one of my favourite movies and I thought I’d put up a collection of good quotes from it. The Quotes are taken from IMDB Memorable Quotes, thanks to IMDB. The glory of an Idea! Evey Hammond : [ voiceover ] Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first-hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the n...

(Updated!) Xolo Q800 – A review with pros and cons

UPDATE: Whatever is written below applies for the Xolo Q800 phones with MTK6589 chipsets. The Q800s with  MTK6589M chipsets may or may not qualify for what is written down here. (I think that the phones which costed less than 12k have the MTK6589M chipsets. ) Android smartphones are everywhere these days. They run the latest operating system and they are all identical. You try out different brands and they all have the same android. At the time of this blog post, it is Jelly bean. So, what makes a smartphone different from another. They all have IPS screens, HD playback, ble... all sorts of common stuff. Difference? Xolo Q800 is a smartphone and here is where the difference is. 1. There are absolutely no bloatware in the device. The device is pure stock Jelly bean. There is one app called Xolo care which just sits silently in the corner helping you to check updates to the operating system and contact customer care. Too bad I don't ...
