Social Network- Facebook

After a very long time , a movie that inspired my thoughts to start my blogging . The Social Network based on the life story of Mark Zuckerberg the Co-founder of facebook. It means there was another guy "Savarin" was part of facebook,.

The words uttered by Mark's girl friend , struck him like a hammer to prove that he is not a jerk. He creates a network page within Harvard University , to rate girls initially under the name facemash.com. It received 22000 hits within a single day. The Harvard server crashed due to heavy traffic.

He faces an enquiry under the disciplinary committee , criticizing his actions on hacking the server , unauthorized sharing of pictures and of course crashing the server. Marks reply was the spot light " I apologize to any women at Harvard as they think they were insulted but i expect recognition from the computer department , since i was able to spot the loop holes in your securit system".

Next marks the entry of Cameron and Taylor (twins)two graduates of the Harvard school , who really came with the idea of developing a Harvard network exclusively to Harvard students. Then Mark realized that his web page facemash was visited by 22000 people not because of finding girls but they could find the girls whom they know and lost in touch. So he came tried to develop a social page where all information is made available to all.

He developed the page with a initial investment of $1000 and later 18000$ for promoting the site . When the popularity raised , cameron and taylor sued him for stealign his idea. Within 6 months facebook had 1 million members , and went public issue . Savarin was sabotaged by "Seaun parker"- founder of napster . Mark's life had intelligent twists and turns filled with betrayal , greed , intelligence , glamour and all the adjectives one can think of.

There is nothing big to talk about the making of the movie since the life of Mark was too dominating to notice that.Finally , Mark settelled all the issues by payig 65 million dollars to the twins and his close friend was settled with an undisclosed amount and he later went on to become the youngest billionaire who is valued at $25 billion.

After watching the movie , one could find similarity in attitude of Mark and Dirubhai (Guru) the difference is the nature of the industry they both excelled in. May be they have same ideology in business

Terrified ,Horrified,Petrified on OCT 27

The week that wasn't as expected , a series of unfortunate events and life threatening incidents all fell on the same day .Oh My God ! when small thing go out of way it leads to chain of events which i am unable to decipher the real meaning of such occurrences thus proving the butterfly theory .All the events are inter linked just like the ecosystem to maintain its balance .

The entire incident was narrated by mom , when we had a small chat during dinner. Around 8.30 AM ,there was huge bang at the door step with a hue and cry of a lady. My brother rushed to open the door ,she cried for help that her cylinder started leaking while she was cleaning the kitchen .In an attempt to close and the valve and remove cylinder hose to shift the stove to a new place , the metal valve at the cylinder mouth started leaking with a huge noise. My bother was in fix unable to react to the situation.

All the residents were informed one intelligent person switched off the main supply to entire building to avert any fire accidents by electric spark . Later all the people rushed outside for safety ,the cylinder stopped its hissing noise only after it got emptied itself. The smell of LPG reached the neighboring houses, all rushed to the flats for the cause of he smell.The aroma was so strong it created head ache and nausea to all the residents.

The major disappointing factor was the non availability of the Fire service or Gas supplier to the rescue. Why the bloody hell they are appointed with no use to the public . And the resident who was provided with a unchecked cylinder was not ready to file a police complaint .What a stupid society and its selfishness to shy away from problems that really needs to be addressed.

This tortured my mind for almost an hour , where i started thinking about the severity of the incident and how every single daily routine work averted the mishap and saved almost 15 lives in the same day . The neighbor used to practice yoga around 7 Am by lighting a agarabathi in front of God and his wife yet to start cooking . In my home my mom used cook before 8 AM so that she can pack lunch bags for me and my brother . Nobody switched on any electrical gadgets at that time .There are no chain smokers in our colony . The possibility of external fire is almost nill when the incident happened . This prevented a major headlines in Ambattur region.

Though I might sound like an atheist or cynical towards GOD , but finally i thanked HIM for the blessings he has showered on us and saved our colony residents. Still this incident keeps knocking my head and makes me restless..
