Multiple Personality .... Disorder????

One of my all time favorite movies is this Tamil movie by name "Anniyan" (a.k.a "Aparichitudu" in Telugu and "Aparichit" in hindi.. In case, u don't know these languages.. Don't worry I'll tell wat's so special abt this movie ;-) )... I dunno how many times I've seen this movie. Everytime I see this movie, it brings on a new dimension......

So what's this movie all about, that makes me blog about??? There's this portrayal of a condition known as Multiple Personality Disorder , a.k.a MPD..... Yes, u are right, the same condition which is mentioned in Sidney Sheldon's "Tell me your dreams" ,which is a brilliant book...

In case u haven't see this movie, here's the brief outline.....
The movie's about a meek person by name "Ambi", who can't stand the carelessness of people and feels bad that he can't make any difference to the society. Without his knowledge, he transforms into "Anniyan", who punishes the people, who are careless... The story is all about the protogoanist's brush with the law machinery and the movie ends brilliantly, one of the best I've seen....

After seeing this movie umpteen times, it just occurred to me, that this condition is prevalent among every person... Interesting .. ain't it?? First thing, people will vehemontly deny this...Let me prove that this exists.... Just read on!!!

There are many personalities within a single person, a humorous personality, an angry soul (something like our very own angry young man ;-) ), a romantic personality and many others... It can be seen that every person has his/her own mood changes... Now isn't that something like a personality change .... People do have fantasies .. isn't that wanting to turn into some other personality, which they are unable to.....

Let me take a test subject....

As usual, our friendly neighbourhood Software Engineer... somehow, I just can't do without dragging in Software Engineers :-P.. Before u jump to conclusions, Let me re-iterate that I'm also a Software Engineer :D.....
Early morning, this guy is lazy as a sloth .... During the day, he's a professional, talking and behaving like a well-groomed individual.. Catch him with a close friend, he is as humorous as Drew Carrey.... When he's speaking with his parents or someone from his family, he as quiet as a mouse... When with his girl-friend or wife, he is as romantic as Romeo.. When drunk, he's more unpredictable than a monkey.....
Wow!!! isn't this a multiple personality????

I can quote many examples like this... When friends go out on a road trip, where a lot of booze flows and they do get drunk and go crazy.... When the same people go out with their folks the very same evening,they seem like some body else..... Isn't this strange??? The only difference between MPD and this syndrome is that, people are very much aware of changes in their personality ...... Is this voluntary or involuntary??

So what's your personality today???

Music in Metalhead's eyes.. oops!! ears

Guess who's back in the blogosphere?? Yes, it's the average dude with the mix 'n' match of random thoughts.... If u haven't guessed the person yet, then u need to scoll to the top of this post ;-).... Yep, it's me :-D

What is Music?? How will a person define music??? Some might say soothing sound..... some strange out-of-the-world person would categorise the sound of chainsaw cutting wood as music as well.... Looks like people can debate on this topic forever. It's said that Humans are social animals... I would go further ahead and say that humans are also musical animals.... I don't think there are people who live without listening to music. In fact, it has been proved scientifically that plants also listen to music....

Hey, why am I posting some random information about music? This is just a prelude to my post. It's said in English Grammar that a good passage consists of an Introduction, Body and a conclusion... So here I am, trying my best to follow this... Oops!!! this is another distraction.... Let's come back to the topic....As the title says, I'll talking about my perception on various music genres.

Please note that this is my personal opinion and I'm not trying to impose my views on any of the readers....

Classical Music : A person needs to be classy to understand this type of music. This is the foundation to all the music being created. In fact, when a person learns music, he / she has to learn classical music. There are no 2 ways abt it. In fact, most of the successful Indian singers are accomplished classical musicians.. Now that's food for thought....

Pop : I'm not a huge fan of pop...Let's not talk abt it... I include remixes alongwith this genre... My view is that I'll listen to pop.. in case if it's the only music left in the universe.. I like a few tracks here and there... but those are far and few.....

Hiphop and Rap : I like the videos... Who doesn't like them :-P... But music-wise, some are very good and some are ok-ish... As long as u don't get offended by lyrics of most of the tracks.. I don't think many people will dislike this genre of music...

Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal and any music that's heavy ;-) : I guess my profile name gives away my preference.... :D.... Yes, I love rock music.. Many people perceive it to be only noise.. Believe me, if u haven't listened to rock, u have missed something in life.. So, what are u waiting for??? My all time favorite rock band is METALLICA.

Indian movies' music scene is sort of a cocktail of different genres of music... It combines every possible genre of music, that too in a single track.... That's what makes this music scene unique... My favorite songs are those which have a touch of classical and Rock music.. which makes the numbers less than others....

There's no rights or wrongs in a person's taste for music... and I believe that no music is bad.. it's only that an individual likes or dislikes a particular type of music..... There are a few things about a person, which should not be criticised and preference for music is one among them....

So, what are u waiting for?? Go grab ur Music Player or something and put on some music.. After all, there is no background score in real life ;-)....
