Corruption. Terrorism. Disease. Currency woes. We’ve got it all, and more. We’ve been written off, doomsdayed, delegitimized – but we keep coming back! What is the root of this appetite for adversity, this solid resilience?<br /> <br />It is our nation’s optimism. No matter how much you bring her down, India feels up!<br /> <br />A first of its kind initiative, the #IFeelUp Tweetathon is a 3-day virtual conference, which delights in the irrepressible state of the nation, in spite of its laundry list of issues. Over 72 hours, we’ll be bringing in 400 panelists for non-stop discussion, and that’s where you come in.<br /> <br />We would like to invite you as a panelist for a 30 minute session wherein you can participate from any part of the world.<br /><br />If you're interested, kindly email us your contact information so that we could provide you with more details about the event.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.Please mail us at garima@theviewspaper.net<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Garima Obrah<br />The ViewspaperGarima Obrahhttp://www.theviewspaper.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-63333680348372012142011-07-15T12:15:03.428+05:302011-07-15T12:15:03.428+05:30awesomeawesomeMaking Life Betterhttp://www.mygrahak.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-72279043767629450002011-05-31T01:19:25.260+05:302011-05-31T01:19:25.260+05:30Amir khan copying Rajesh Khanna?

How easily we forget we are so much richer today because of inspired lines that transcended into ingenious originals to have created history. <br /><br />I had written a post on inspired music with a quite the same perspective. <a href="http://litterateuse.wordpress.com/2009/04/05/share-a-tune-inspired-music-in-indian-films/" rel="nofollow">Do read it</a> when you get a chance.litterateusehttp://litterateuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-80519057886275738642011-02-22T22:41:22.110+05:302011-02-22T22:41:22.110+05:30Recycling and reuse are good for the planet, right...Recycling and reuse are good for the planet, right?<br /><br />Even Mozart borrowed ideas from the lesser-remembered Haydn brother. <br /><br />(Also see Georges Polti and his 36 dramatic situations. What film, book, play, epic cannot be derived from those situations?)<br /><br />//A secondary debate that often breaks out every time this topic is raised is about attribution. Were Led Zeppelin wrong in not attributing the original sources for songs like Whole Lotta Love or When the Levee breaks? What about Bob Dylan's own liberal use of classic folk/blues/country structures, lines and sometimes whole verses?kmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040339235134145847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-50325837011761349292011-02-22T15:17:46.989+05:302011-02-22T15:17:46.989+05:30a very very relevant write up,especially in the co...a very very relevant write up,especially in the context of our times !Asadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165754125809740147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-27486448847110358222011-02-22T13:21:43.812+05:302011-02-22T13:21:43.812+05:30Most fantastic, sir.
