Achieving my childhood dreams (or rather on-my-way)

This video has inspired me in ways I cannot describe. I have my childhood dreams and I want to achieve them desperately. But in the last few years, I have simply let my dreams bury themselves and die a slow death right in front of my eyes. Immensely disappointing and frustrating. 

Bullshit-thinking like its too big a dream or not having financial support didn't help improve my situation. Although some of it may be true it doesn't inspire hope. But all this ends. I will do whatever it takes to achieve my childhood dreams. 

I will list my childhood dreams and do whatever it takes to achieve them.

1. Become an Astronaut- Or to put it realistically experience zero gravity. Let me add here that this dream wan't inspired from the video. I always wanted to be an astronaut. I knew it was not practically possible all along... but hello, Thats why its called a dream people!! Until... I realized that I could experience zero gravity as shown in the video here.

2. Draw cartoons and make an animation movie.

3. Skydiving.

4. Explore the jungles of Amazon in a boat.

5. Make a nature video for Discovery Channel or National Geographic Channel.

6. Perform in a rock-band on stage.

These are humanly achievable dreams. Not some sci-fi fantasy stuff right? Lets see how things go. :)

Pigeons in the air- Cinemagram

Please bear with me because this GIF takes sometime to fully load. :)
It's a GIF I created using an interesting tool called Cinemagram available for iPhones.
The location: This place is called Chintalbasti, which is situated between Khairatabad and Banjara Hills.
All areas I have mentioned above are located in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.

Created with cinemagr.am

There's this place in ChintalBasti where all the pigeons of that area gather for a feast. One shopkeeper daily throws a huge bag full of seeds for them. Really nice of him.

Upon analyzing this situation I realize that the shopkeeper is also intelligently avoiding a huge problem. Pigeon droppings. I have a theory that birds (like all species on earth) never defecate near the same place they eat.

I also intend to prove this theory and have sufficient and unarguable proof to back my claims. I have observed the same behavior in *drum-roll*... HUMANS!!

I really am a genius.

Cloud Atlas is classic

Aaahh finally!! I saw Cloud Atlas! Ever since word came out about the movie I was terribly excited. Desperately waiting for its release.

But when the movie finished and I stepped out of the cinema hall I felt disappointed. Even though the concept was amazing and the way the film-makers wove 6 stories together was mind-boggling, in the end there was still an odd feeling. Something felt missing.

I'm sure I will never know what that odd feeling was but after a few days I realized that I was thinking about the movie more and more and was beginning to like it. Now I'm considering watching it again.

But again, I know that I will be disappointed. Its that recursive effect that the movie creates. Like an endless cycle. And that is what will make this movie a classic. Overtime it will surely become a great movie that everyone will come to appreciate the grand nature of this movie.

I'll make sure all my friends watch this movie too. Not just because it is a mind-boggling film but because of the ideas presented in the movie. Its just pure cinema. Something that we rarely see in Hollywood.

I genuinely bow down to The Wachowski Brothers and Tom Tykwer for making this epic. And I just can't wait to read the book now!
