Know how to use the internet - #LetsSeeWhatsHappening

Hey fellas, Let's See What's Happening,

What will I be talking about in here on Let's See What's Happening ?
 I will talk about topics like news and other stuff that I feel I must talk about.

Even though I am used to seeing messed up people using the internet in the most wrong ways, this one made me *Facepalm* saying 'how could any human brain work like this ?'.

Twitter is a very powerful and truthfully a very fun filled media. If you use it right, you will get the most out of using the internet. No matter how old you are, what you do for a living, what your interests are, etc, etc, there is always something for you on Twitter. Sadly even if you are bad or stupid there is something for you too. Hurray ! 

One of the few things that annoy me on Twitter is people begging for 'followers' and trying to talk stupid and weird just to get attention. In other words, people who need help are everywhere on twitter. 

One such kind of a fourteen year old named Sarah, just to get attention and followers (which she did) tweeted something thats shown in the below pic, with the word Al Qaeda in it 'as a joke' to the American Airlines' twitter account. 
I am not surprised at the response of AA saying they take these kinda threats seriously and they are reporting it to the FBI. 


There are two reasons why I would respond like this if I was an AA media person, 
1. Choosing to take this as a possible threat and acting according to the book. 
2. Knowing this as one of those twitter "jokes" yet trying to make an example and lesson to prevent future 'Sarah's about not playing with issues like these which causes chaos. 

I am emphasizing on point 2 because there were too many tweets directed to AA asking them not to take everything seriously. These people are worse than Sarah. Yes, you are dumber than an ignorant fourteen year old. I don't even have to explain why.

Guess what, ofcourse there are Sarah's copy cats who are sending tweets like her's to other Airlines on twitter. I don't know what to say to that.



And yeah, Sarah was arrested. What did you expect ?

Apparently she also stated that she is a Demi Lovato fan who wanted to be famous like her and not like Osama Bin Laden.
If you are defending her just because she is 14, just remember how you were when you were 14. Were you this ignorant ?

This issue addresses every wrong thing that is happening around the internet. (Bullying, Abuse, Racism etc termed as "Jokes") As I always say, IGNORANCE IS WORSE THAN STUPIDITY.

Redhongyi - #LetsCLike

Hey fellas, Let's CLike.

What will I be talking about in here on Let's CLike ? 
I will talk about the pics I ‘clicked or liked’.

Today I wanna talk about one of the instagrammers I follow. I am a selectively active instagrammer (I am not sure if thats a term yet. Well it is now). Redhongyi is one of my favorite instagrammer who loves to paint but not with a paintbrush. It might be an usual line but she actually is one of those who has earned the right to use that line.

She paints with all sorts of stuff that are lying around her. Especially with food. Her mom didn't do a great job trying to teach her not to play with food but she made a career out of it. Best career story ever.

She like every artist started small and now painting celebrities' portraits and she has gone big. Recently she did a portrait of Jackie Chan using 60,000 Bamboo Chopsticks for his 60th birthday. How crazy is that ?


I chose to talk about Redhongyi who claims herself as an artist and not a photographer, which is tricky here because you have to have an artistic character to convince yourself as a photographer. But an artist is not a subset of photographer. Every photographer who captures something he/she likes, has to either see in a artistic perspective or set something as an artist.
So ask yourself, are you convinced with yourself as a photographer who just knows about the camera and editing tools.

I have mentioned this before while agreeing to the fact that, everyone can be a photographer. But an artist is what makes a photographer to convince yourself as one. 
I am mentioning 'convincing yourself' repetitively because that is what matters to me. I take pictures to satisfy me and not convince others. I am sure so does most of us.

So, back to Redhongyi. She not only creates art with regular and irregular objects but creates them based on the theme of what has had an effect in her mind currently. For instance, she projects the news that she feels worth sharing, which makes me assume that she sees everything in her own specific ways and speaks in that way too. By now you might have understood that I am very much impressed with her work and her passion.
So go check her page and be amazed.

Midnight Run - #LetsGetEntertained

Hey fellas, Let's Get Entertained.

What will I be talking about in here on Let's Get Entertained ?
I will talk about the Entertainment part of the universe. 

Today I am going way back and gonna talk about the classic movie 'Midnight Run'. Not only because I have to talk about Robert De Niro's movies here but also because I recently watched the movie on TV and it was still like watching it for the first time.

Its a movie about a bounty hunter, an accountant, the FBI, another bounty hunter and ofcourse the Mafia.

Btw I just want to clarify whether do all Italian Mafia names end with an 'O' ? 
Serrano, Kattano, DeVito, Cicero, MARIO ? Just wondering.

One of my favorite movies which I like for its screenplay. According to me a movie with a good screenplay is that, if you write about the story of the movie or narrate the story to someone, its only 1/10th of how the movie is actually being projected. In other words, a movie with a simpler storyline can be made very much more than that by its screenplay. Well, Midnight Run is the best example.

And, Robert De Niro - I don't have to tell you fellas how much of an actor is in proportion with this guy. He wasn't the Jason Stathom in his time with rock hard muscles all around the body but just the fierce grim on his face with ofcourse a hint of cursing would make anyone feel threatened. And here in this movie, the fact that he made us laugh with all those fierce mannerism is beyond what could be explained about him.

The opposite role to De Niro played by Charles Grodin (Duke the accountant) might have been played by Robin Williams, Bruce Willis or even Cher. Well we'll keep to our imagination. But truth be told, Grodin did a great job.

So, if I had to spoil this movie for you, I have to narrate the entire movie. I think thats the most relevant compliment I could lay on this movie.
If you haven't watched it yet, just go watch it.

P.S - If at all someone out there is following my blog 'regularly' I apologize for posting a little late that it should be and my posts might also disappear suddenly cos I am a little busy with work these days. I ll try to keep up. Thanks to blogger app on my phone. 

And today I started using my legal name Saravanan Pitchai Pandiyan, Saravanan being my first name, in all the social media possible. There are many reasons for that. 
1. My first name is the most common name from where I come from. 
2. I don't want to be confused with anyone else, socially or professionally.
3. Ofcourse I will want myself to be able to google my full name in the future and find something interesting.

Amazon Dash - #LetsTalkTech

Hey fellas, Let's Talk Tech.

What will I be talking about in here on Let's Talk Tech ? 
I will talk about Technology and stuff happening around in that part of the universe.

Here is a new gadget for you to buy this year and this device is for you to buy stuff for your house. Remember when you wished if your grocery list app in your phone could place order of all the items on your list ? Now, Amazon developed the app into a hand held device.


In inventory and logistics processes Voice recognition and Barcode scanning methodologies are not new, but now the technologies are in the hands of the consumers. Now thats interesting.

Although this is not totally a new technology in the field of logistics and inventory management, Amazon has quite impressively experimented and brought it to the consumers in a more appreciable manner.

Now that Amazon has amazed almost everyone, no one will make jokes about the amazon drones for a while.
