Captain Phillips Movie Review

Captain Philips is a film by director Paul Greengrass based on the hostage situation of Captain Richard Philips during the ship hijacking by Somalian pirates in 2009. Tom Hanks played the role of Captain Philips and as always my favourite actor has done justice to his role. The movie starts with Captain Philips’s journey from his home to ship departure land Salaala port. Captain Philips commands the ship Maersk Alabama, travelling from Oman – Kenya, through the danger zone, Somalia. It shows an ordinary start for an ordinary man. Then movie takes us to Somalia and shows how pirates are forced to attack ships. Pirates are played by Somalian actors. Pirate’s leader is Abduwali Muse, played by Barkhad Abdi. It shows the risk and athletic effort taken by pirates, onscreen in a documentary kind of realistic way. At the same time the helplessness of the ship crew to protect themselves without an armed security is also shown in a parallel manner. The Captain takes all pos...

Happiness!!

Happiness!! How many of you are satisfied with your current life? How many if you have anxiety in each moment of your life? For the first question, some time I am satisfied, but sometimes not. What does it mean? I am not satisfied. For the second question, yes I have anxiety and it is ruining my each moment. Human being looks for what he doesn’t have in front of him; Successful man creates whatever he wants from nowhere!   I enjoy the victory like anyone. I dream the victory, before I conquered the victory. I have spent time to dream my success. I have wasted my time to dream and not to prepare to do my job. I am good at doing the work and when any interview comes I was taken it very easily. That ends up ruin my chance to move up the ladder. I don’t blame anyone. I have failed to create an impression when I talk to people. Especially when you are in the management, it is the important thing that how you carry yourself and communicate confidently or pretend confidently. ...

Communication is the key.... repeat it!!

This is the photo of a handsome father and a beautiful daughter on the way back from her school. When my wife posted this photo in FB, my mother in law got confused why her granddaughter was with one of the Malayalam film stars? She got confused my photo with one the young actors in Kerala. Then my father in law clarified it, she has sight problem. Then he was so happy to prove his point to make her use specs. On the first of my daughters school, I made her stand on the cycle and moved slowly to school. She was in mixed feeling. She love travel in cycle with breeze hitting her face. Same time she didn’t want to go school. She was crying and laughing at same time. Throughout the journey I was asking her, where are going? Then I only answered SCHOOL! She was whipping slowly. When dropped her at school, she cried loud. In the next 3 days, she had the same feeling; I continued asking where are we going? Through out the journey.  Then she kept silent, I said SCHOOL! On the fourth da...

An Informal Toastmaster meeting !

Do know what the safest thing we do in Toastmaster meeting is? Yes, the introductory speech by sergeant at arms and setting expectation with at the audience that, please do not talk on sex, religion and politics. After attending various toastmasters meeting I know the benefit of this movement. I have extracted a lot from all toastmasters. I want to give back my learning’s others in a possible way. I decided to run a public speaking session in my office with few people show interest in public speaking. You may wonder now, how I will coach others when I am not good at communication. You are wrong, in toastmasters we won’t teach anyone. We give the platform to learn. I have arranged platform for few people on a Friday night for 30 mins. It was a very informal toastmasters meeting replica. Planned roles and agenda as follows – MC, one Ice breaker, TTM, Evaluation with the theme of the meeting, ‘ first experience’. MC and Ice breaker went well and we moved to TTM. TTM brought very...
