Never give up, even though its not your time.

Last week i went to watch the movie "300". I was so impressed by the way it was presented. Good graphics matching the story and specially in a monochrome frame. But more than those, i was so attracted by the dialogues. Let me quote some of them to which i was attracted most.

1. Be committed to your job
Leonidas: You, what is your profession?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a potter, sir.
Leonidas: And you, Arcadian, what is your profession?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a sculptor.
Leonidas: And you?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a blacksmith.
Leonidas: [Turning towards the Spartans] Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: Harooh! Harooh! Harooh!
Leonidas: See old friend, I brought more soldiers than you did.
2. Never give up, even though its not your time.

Persian Emissary: The thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you! Our arrows will blot out the sun!
Stelios: [grins] Then we will fight in the shade.
3. A good leader always stands by his followers
Xerxes: Imagine what horrible fate awaits my enemies when I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory.
Leonidas: And I would die for any one of mine.
These conversations gives a clear cut idea of Spartans. The way they ever lived. Even though they lost the war, but they were never ready to give up. Till the last breath, they fought like real men.

My money and electronic gadgets

After a long time, i got sometime to work on my blogs. Before blogging, let me thank google for merging all the accounts together. As usual this time also, i forgot my username and password.

I am out of subjects.... Thought for a while to get a subject. Now thinking to write down my electronic gadget craziness. Accidentally yesterday i got into a ipod showroom. The new nano took my breath away. I thought getting one for me.

Then i looked back to know how much i spent on gadgets. In the past 2 years nearly i spent more than one lakh and that too just for the mobile phones. Now i am gonna hit an ipod.

I have used a lot of mobile phones, all most all the manufacturers and i feel the best is Sony Ericsson. The quality of music and the photo, you will never ever get on any other one. Even if you go for NSeries, you will get a 3.2 Mega pixel camera. The same 3.2 with much more functionality you will get from sony ericsson K790i and more models with less price.

Now i am dropping out my new sony ericsson dreams to get a Nano. Hope it wont disappoint me. And as usual i have decided not to spent any more penny on gadgets... Hope this will work at least this time.... Lets see.....
