Game Review:Call of Duty: Black Ops

Preplay: Man!! Its here like everyyear.The Call Of Duty games have become annual event like many of our important festivals and even birthdays.We may forget Earth Day but we all remember the date the next CoD will arrive.Amazing that only a CoD has been able to suprceed a CoD from past 4 years in terms of popularity ans sales.lets see what tryarch has to offer in the wake of disruption of our beloved Infinity Ward.



Story: Best one yet.Thrilling,Action packed and keeps you on the edges of your seat throught for about 5-6 hours.Voice acting is Stellar.Sam Worthington is rally amazing as Alex mason.I wont tell nothing..evry twist is important.

Gameplay:Its the great old CoD formula and they have rightly not messes with it.Though they have added some elements first for a CoD game like flying a Chopper,driving a Boat and an amazing Terminator 2 esque bike sequence.Leaning comes back but we have already forgotten using it.Crossbow as a weopan addition is effective and fantastic.



Graphics and Sound: Sound has been CoD's forte and industry legend.graphically the engine has churned out amzing setpieces and is certainly up to date.

CLosing Comments:Go buy it!!!!

9/10

Game Review: Medal of Honor

Pre-play: Its 3 long years since the last Medal of Honor,One of the most succeful FPS franchise ever and among the pathbreakers too but its younger cousin currently owns the FPS genera,EA decided to shun the WW2 era and come into Present day ,but is this too late??

Story: Nothing Special,just as usual a dumb Hero who is supposed to do everything from blowing tucks to taking out bad guys to calling air sport to washing dishes.We play as rabbit and Adams,but the story lacks the punch the Industry toppers offer and the game is too reliant on Scripted Sequences..meh


Gameplay: again nothing new to offer,we get to man a gun on a chopper,ride a ATV and shoot.The game is heavily dependent on bodycount rather than pure shooting thrills.Dissaponting.We have all seen this already,haven't we.





Lasting appeal:MOH is EAss failed attempt to catch MW series,hope the next one is atleast upto its generation.



Score: 7.5/10

for the records,Akshay was the first guy I met in MNNIT and had those silly"I fucked my JEE real bad" conversation :P

again,I don't think I know anebody in "MNNIT" who really can define wat is exciting and wat is interesting ? all r cast out of same mould,some murkier,some brighter,some lighter...but none whom I can say "oh,I knew a guy who was.....or "listen fellas,I m proud to tell that this guy was my batchmate"....or discuss with my school frnds "that I know a guy who is good at something other than nothing...."

Learn to appreciate things bro.If anything ain't right for u,it dosen't mean for everybody else.I hate HP,twilight,LOTR 3,Taylor Swift,Justin Biebber,Henry Fayol but that dosen't mean they suck..if u don't like anything,atleast u can respect others feelings.

Akshay Sharma - OOPS ..! I missed the fun ..! heavy cost for sleeping.. !
let me just paste few "woah" lines.. :P

- ".man u cant take a break and enjoy a weekend" .. (better sleep than a "rajni can't" stuff)
- "i enjoy my life and all the days along with the weekends" (I wonder what you do :P )
- "I don't think I know anebody in "MNNIT" who really can define wat is exciting and wat is interesting" .. ( +1 pandey ... life is really awful)
- "I hate HP,twilight,LOTR 3,Taylor Swift,Justin Biebber,Henry Fayol" .. (haha .!)
- ".(smiling while readin...n typin as well) i got it" (that sounds human . :? )

and the uncencored quote - "Akshay was the first guy I met in MNNIT and had those silly "I fucked my JEE real bad" " . . ;)

and conclusion part,
"(in MNNIT no one got any )" .. really sad. ! :'(
sometimes we are constrained. But I bet , a few guys here DO HAVE .!
not talking abt TT, basktball , or, CS .. its abt hw you approach things .. passionately or lifelessly .

Shame on us!!!!

What is wrong with us,with us I mean we Indians.
I read a short travelogue by great Hindi writer who wrote about strength in belief and respect for one's own country.By not doing anything we hurt our nation but worst of all by criticising what others are doing,hurts The country like some rancid wound.
Come October 3 we have Common Wealth Games,the first one in India.
Brothers,Rome wasn't built in a day,the Organisers are trying as hard as they can to put up a good show,but we and the jaundicised media is hellbent on pulling legs like the "old Indain crab" story and forget adding to the fervor of CWG games ,we are making Important foreign teams to bunk it.We should celbrate these games,rather Delhties are busy booking forighn trips!!! duh!!!

and old sms joke "Sarkari bus pe nahi chadoonga,Sarkari school mein nahi padhoonga,Sarkari aadmi ko kaam nahi saupoonga but Naukari chahiye to sarkari...waah Indian waah".We are responsible with whatever complains we have.And the roots of this problem goes down deep.

Come people its time to unite and rock..lets make the CWG games a success.Forget the corruption or failures,rejoice the successes.Together we can!!

The Loser says,"It may be possible but it is too difficult." When a Winner makes a mistake, he says," I was wrong";
When a Loser makes a mistake, he says," It wasn't my fault." A Winner makes commitments;
A Loser makes promises. Winners have dreams;
Loser have schemes. Winners say," I must do something";

Losers are apart from the team. Winners see the gain;
Losers see the pain. Winners see possibilities;
Losers see problems. Winners believe in win/win; Losers believe for them to win someone has to lose.
Winners see the potential;
Losers see the past. Winners are like a thermostat;
Losers are like thermometers. Winners choose what they say;
Losers say what they choose. Winners use hard arguments but soft words;
Losers use soft arguments but hard words. Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things;
Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values. Winners follow the philosophy of empathy: "Don't do to others what you
would, not want them to do to you";
Losers follow the philosophy, "Do it to others before they do it to you."

Winners make it happen;
Losers let it happen.

Role of Manager in today’s world of globalisation

In today’s world where a rise in dollars price not only affects the NASDAQ but also Nikkei and fall in Euro shakes the Middle eastern Markets, Companies have to be up on their heels and should be lead by Managers who are not only eager to go head but have a vision in their approach. He should be technically adept for every situation.
1.The manager should have prime knowledge of the various dependent economies and currencies in the market. Globalisation has led to concept of free markets. A free-market economy is an economy where all markets within it are unregulated by any parties other than those players in the market. In its purest form the government plays a neutral role in its administration and legislation of economic activity neither limiting nor actively promoting it (for example neither regulating industries let alone owning economic interests nor offering subsidies to businesses let alone protecting them from internal/external market pressures). Such an economy in its most radical form does not exist in developed economies, however efforts made to liberalise an economy or make it "free-er" attempt to limit the role of government in such a way. The theory holds that within an ideal free market, property rights are voluntarily exchanged at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers. By definition, buyers and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's property rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they coerced by a third party (such as by government via transfer payments) and they engage in trade simply because they both consent and believe that what they are getting is worth more than or as much as what they give up. Price is the result of buying and selling decisions en masse as described by the theory of supply and demand. The manager should have an eagles eye on the volatile market and its elements.
2. A Manager should be adept in communicating organizational vision to the employees of the organization. He should ensure that there is effective communication flow in an organization and that there should no misinterpretations taking place.
3. A manager has crucial role to play in decision making process in an organization. He has to decide how to bring and communicate organizational changes. He plays a major role in setting organizational goals. He has to be in close contact with the employees of the organization. He should understand them and motivate them. He should encourage them so that they can perform effectively. He should praise them when they show brilliant performance and on bad performance, he should give them constructive feedback rather than negative feedback. He should provide them online support and coaching.
4. The manager should keep track of the changing perspective, opinions and moods of the market. Courage and vision are the two most important feathers in a mangers cap. Going against the trend or be it changing the path and direction of flow altogether Manager should be post a picture of valour and creativity in front of his team.
As a Case history :The Royal Enfield Motors was struggling to keep pace with the changing market paradigm. A new CEO R Chandra arrived with new vigour and brought out Thunderbird brand of motorcycles that were a instant hit and made a niche market for themselves.
Similarly Food chain Biggies like McDonalds are serving dishes as per the ethic=nicety and culture of the market in which they want foothold.

5. A manager should constantly upgrade his knowledge as well as skills of his staff otherwise he may fall behind in today’s cut throat environment. Vocational workshops, communication skill enhancement, Knowledge relating to changing corporate laws are obligatory.
6. A manager should develop a Independent thinking and should not only be responsible for the decision he takes but should be responsible for its consequences or repercussions . Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality. Independent people who do not have the maturity to think and act interdependently may be good individual producers, but they won't be good leaders or team players. They're not coming from the paradigm of interdependence necessary to succeed in organizational reality.
7. I today’s open market not only the Manager should be eager in expanding into new territories but strengthening foothold in the current markets and increasing the brand value and trust of the Organisation as a whole .Many brands with their constant hard work have cast a spell of trust on the market generally such as leading bike maker Hero Honda or mobile company Nokia. Nokia is a Finnish Company doing great in India and China. They have understood the needs of local public and researched the conditions and succeeded.
8. Not only Managers should be eying foreign markets but always be on guard from advent of foreign players that try to invade your own local markets. That requires great amount of ingenuity as the usual MNC are well prepared for gaining foothold backed by huge amount of capital and workforce as well as alliances.
As a example. the Indian toy market, biggest in the world after china, has been completely taken over by cheap Chinese counterparts. While the Indian companies still pla ced bets on key and spring spirals, Chinese were there with their cheaply priced electronically run toys. Now the market is plagued with sub-quality products.
In other case, Parle Agro is still the market leader in sweet beverages field. Biggies like Coca Cola and Pepsi have brought their products like Juce up,Aquafina but Bisleri,Rasna are still the favourites as they have not only maintained pace with changing tastes but also kept up to level of quality standards.

Something Crossed my frnd's mind

bhag kar jaaun bhi to kah ,
mera waqt tp ek lamhe me thehara hai .
jaha thak kar gir jaana hai nishchit hai,
meri aatma par ek aisa hi pehra hai..
dekh kar jise ho jaati hai,
aankhen bhi meri band
mera khud ka apna bhi,
ek aisa hi chehra hai.|

roshni bhi jahan kho jaati hai,
andhero me mai milkar
mere kal ka eak nishan,
kuch itna hi gehra hain..
onsh ki bunde bhi jahan per,
angaro si tapti hain
mere astitava ke charo taraf,
eak aisa hi ghana kohra hain..

jahan bebasi per meri,
kisi ko thahako ki jaroorat nahi
meri hi ek muskan ne mujhe,
us mukam pe la choda hain..
gujar rahi meri gindagi puri,
ek lamhe se ladte huye.
khud ke hi tukdo ko maine,
na jaane kitani baar joda hain..

fariyaad ko uthate haath mere,
na jaane kyu ruk jaatein hain.
har masoom ke giratein aansoo mai,
mujhe apne gunah nazar aatein hain..
khud se kiye har waade,
andhere mai yun ghul jaate hai.
jaise kagaz par likhe shabd,
sayahi se dhul jaatein hai..

har ugate suraj ki kiran ,
ek intjaar lekar aati hain.
tapti huyi jami par kadmo ke,
kuch aur nishan chhod jaati hain|..
khud ki taraf badte huye,
mere kadam yu mud jaatein hain .
jaise haath se chhute ret ke kanh,
haoyo mai udh jaatein hain..

nishchit hai is kaid se mai ,
khud kabhi aazad na ho payunga .
nahi di dastak kisi ne,
to mar kar bhi mei yahi rah jaayunga..
mera waqt bandha hai tab tak ,
un kadmo ki aahat ke intzaar main.
shayad kisi masoom ki muskaan bankar he,
mai is kaid se muqt ho payunga..

tab tak meri har saans ko,
us shaam ka intzaar hai.
jab shitiz par ek pal ke liye ,
jami aasama se muil jaaye..
ek arse se jami huyi,
yeh partein kuch pighal jaayein.
meri aatma par lage woh ,
shayah nishaan kuch dhuul jaayein......
