ലോകം കീഴടക്കിയ 007

ചില കഥാപാത്രങ്ങൾ അവയുടെ സ്രഷ്ടാക്കളായ എഴുത്തുകാരേക്കാൾ പ്രശസ്തി നേടാറുണ്ട്. ഷെർലക് ഹോംസ്, ടാർസൺ, സൂപ്പർ മാൻ,... ലോകം കീഴടക്കിയ ആ വീരന്മാരുടെ നിരയിലാണ് ഇയാൻ ഫ്ലെമിംഗ് സൃഷ്ടിച്ച ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ടിന്റേയും സ്ഥാനം. എന്നാൽ ബോണ്ടിന് മറ്റൊരു പ്രത്യേകത കൂടി ഉണ്ട്, പേരിനേക്കാൾ പ്രസിദ്ധമാണ് ആ ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌ ചാരന്റെ കോഡ് നമ്പർ. 

007 മൂന്നേ മൂന്നു അക്കങ്ങൾ അതു മതി, കഥാപാത്രം ആരെന്നറിയാൻ. എഴുത്തുകാരനെക്കാൾ പ്രസിദ്ധമായ കഥാപാത്രം . കഥാപാത്രത്തേക്കാൾ പ്രസിദ്ധമായ കോഡ്. ഇത് ബോണ്ടിന് മാത്രമേ അവകാശപ്പെടാനാകൂ. 

അക്ഷരങ്ങളെ കടത്തിവെട്ടി അക്കങ്ങൾ മനുഷ്യമനസ് കീഴടക്കിയ അപൂർവ സംഭവം.

പൂജ്യത്തിൽ തുടങ്ങുന്ന ടെലിഫോൺ എസ് ടി ഡി കോഡുകളുടെ വരവിനു എത്രയോ മുൻപാണ്‌ ബോണ്ട്‌ പൂജ്യത്തിൽ തുടങ്ങിയ സംഖ്യയിലൂടെ  ലോകം കീഴടക്കിയത്.

'കാസിനോ റോയലെ 'എന്ന നോവലിൽ തുടങ്ങിയ ബോണ്ടിന്റെ ജയ്ത്രയാത്ര വെള്ളിത്തിരയും കീഴടക്കി.ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ട്‌ നോവലുകൾ ചൂടപ്പം പോലെ വിറ്റഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ട്‌  സിനിമകൾ ബോക്സോഫീസ് റെക്കോർഡുകൾ തിരുത്തി.

"My name is bond...James Bond " എന്ന അടയാള വാക്യം തിയേറ്ററുകളെ ആവേശത്തിന്റെ അലകടലാക്കി. ചീറിപായുന്ന വെടിയുണ്ടകൾ, കാറുകൾ, ചരന്മാരും ചൂതാട്ടക്കാരും കണ്ണികളായ അധോലോകം. ഭീകരന്മാരോട് നേരിട്ട് ഏറ്റുമുട്ടി അവരെ തറ പറ്റിക്കുന്ന അതിമാനുഷനാണ് അയാൾ. ചടുലത, നാടകീയത സാഹസികത, കാറോട്ടങ്ങൾ, തോക്കുകൊണ്ട് തീക്കളികൾ ഇതെല്ലാം ബോണ്ടിനെ പ്രിയങ്കരനാക്കി, അക്ഷരാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ആക്ഷൻ ഹീറോ.

ലോകം ഇന്നോളം കണ്ടിട്ടുള്ള ഡിറ്റക്റ്റീവ് കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളിൽ ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ടിനൊപ്പം ഒരാളേയുള്ളു ഷെർലക് ഹോംസ്. 

സൂക്ഷ്മമായ നിരീക്ഷണവും യുക്തിയുക്തമായ വിസകലനവുമാണ് ഹോംസിന്റെ രീതി. ഫോറൻസിക് ശാസ്ത്രത്തിനു വഴി തെളിക്കാൻ പോലും ഹോംസിന്റെ പരീക്ഷണങ്ങള്ക്കു കഴിഞ്ഞു.

"ഇന്നലെ രാത്രിയിൽ നിങ്ങൾ നായയെ ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചോ ഇൻസ്പെക്ടർ ? "

"അതിനു നായ ഒന്നും ചെയ്തില്ലല്ലോ ?"

"ഒന്നും ചെയ്തില്ല, അതു തന്നെയാണു ഏറ്റവും വിചിത്രം. "

ഈ സൂക്ഷ്മ നിരീക്ഷണവും ബുദ്ധിവൈഭവവുമാണ് ഹോംസിന്റെ പ്രത്യേകത.

വായനക്കാരനെ ഹോംസ് അത്ഭുതപ്പെടുത്തുമ്പോൾ ബോണ്ട്‌ ആവേശം കൊള്ളിച്ചു. ലോകത്തെങ്ങുമുള്ള ചെറുപ്പക്കാരുടെ എക്കാലത്തെയും ഹരമാണ് ബോണ്ട്‌.

1952 ഫെബ്രുവരി 17,പ്രഭാതം, ജമൈക്കയിലെ വസതിയിൽ ഇരിക്കുകയാണ് ഇയാൻ ഫ്ലെമിങ്. മുറ്റത്തിനപ്പുറം ശാന്തഗംഭീരമായ കരീബിയൻ കടൽ. മുറിയിൽ പറന്നു കയറിയ കിളികളുടെ സംഗീതം.

മുന്പിലിരുന്ന ടൈപ്പ് റൈറ്ററിൽ ഫ്ലെമിങ് അടിച്ചു. 'Cent and smoke and sweat hit the taste buds...' 

എന്തോ തൃപ്തിക്കുറവ്, തിരുത്തി, വീണ്ടും തിരുത്തി. ഒടുവിൽ ഫ്ലെമിങ്ങിനു തോന്നിയ വാക്യത്തിന്റെ ആശയം ഇപ്രകാരം ആയിരുന്നു. 

'പുലർച്ചെ മൂന്നു മണിക്ക് കാസിനോയിലെ ഗന്ധവും പുകയും വിയർപ്പും മനംപുരട്ടലുണ്ടാക്കും. '

പിന്നെ ഒരു കുതിപ്പായിരുന്നു. ഒന്നിനു പിറകെ ഒന്നായി വാക്യങ്ങൾ മുറിയാതെ കടന്നു വന്നു  ഒറ്റ ഇരുപ്പിൽ രണ്ടായിരം വാക്കുകൾ ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്തു. സാഹിത്യരചനയിൽ പരിചയമോ പരിശീലനമോ ഇല്ലാതിരുന്നിട്ടും അതു സംഭവിച്ചു. കാരണം മനസ്സിൽ തിങ്ങിക്കിടന്ന സംഭവങ്ങൾക്ക് ഭാഷ നൽകേണ്ട ജോലി മാത്രമേ ഫ്ലെമിഗിനുണ്ടായിരുന്നുള്ളു. 

പിന്നീട് ദിവസവും എഴുതാൻ തുടങ്ങി. പിറ്റേ മാസം 18 ന് അദ്ദേഹം മനസിലെ കഥയുടെ അവസാന വാക്യവും ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്തു ;'ആ നശിച്ചവൻ ഇപ്പോൾ ചത്തു '

ഒരു ത്രില്ലെർ പിറക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. കാസിനോ റോയലെ. അതിലെ നായകനാണ് ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ട്‌.20 ആം
നൂറ്റാണ്ടിൽ നോവലിലും സിനിമയിലും ആസ്വാദകരെ ത്രസിപ്പിച്ച കിടിലൻ സീക്രെട് ഏജന്റ്. അതോടെ ഇയാൻ ഫ്ലെമിങ് എന്ന എഴുത്തുകാരനും പിറന്നു.

ജെയിംസ്‌ ബോണ്ടിന്റെ സാഹസികത ആദ്യം ബ്രിട്ടീഷുകാരുടെ ഭാവനയിൽ ഇടം നേടി. പിന്നീടു ലോകം മുഴുവനും അതേറ്റുവാങ്ങി. 1964 -ൽ ഫ്ലെമിങ്ങ് മരണമടയുമ്പോൾ അദ്ധേഹത്തിന്റെ നാലുകോടി പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ വിറ്റഴിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു.

Interesting Facts About Sleeping

◆ About one-third of our lives are spent sleeping,but very little is really known about.

◆ we sleep in different stages.These range from light sleep to deep sleep,with periods of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) in between , during which we dream.

◆ The connection between REM sleep and dreaming was discovered in 1953 .It usually begins about 90 minutes after falling asleep and occurs in bursts,totalling about two hours a night ,or 20 % of your total sleep time.

◆ Newborn babies can sleep for up to 21 hours out of 24 hours . Children and teenagers need approximately 10 hours of sleep a night,while most adults need only 7-9 hours.Those over 65 need the least of all -six hours.Older people also have less deep sleep and less REM than young people.

◆ Trains have a"dead man's handle",which must be held at all times .If the driver falls asleep and loses his grip,the train stops.

◆ It is claimed that several famous people have existed on polyphasic sleep-short naps of a few minutes-instead of one long period of sleep.These include Leonardo da Vinci and Winston Churchill.Solo round-the-world voyagers such as pilot Steve Fossett and yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur have had to train themselves to survive on cat-naps.

◆ The scientific word for stretching and yawning is pandiculation.

◆ Atleast 30%of adults snore.M any inventors have come up with anti-snoring gadgets to solve the problem.These include mouth or nose devices that alter breathing by blasting the snorers with sound , giving them electric shocks or shaking their beds.

◆ In 1977 Maureen Weston of Peterborough,UK,stayed awake for 449 hours during a rocking chair marathon.She stuffed from hallucinations but was otherwise unharmed.Extreme sleep deprivation can be dangerous and even lead to death.

Happy birthday of most amazing man 😉

Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes! My cup overfloweth with tremendous gratitude and love for each and every one of you! May we have another year of incredible adventures and unimaginable opportunities!

Fare well speech of Sachin Tendulkar

All my friends. Settle down let me talk, I will get more and more emotional (crowd gets louder as he composes himself). My life, between 22 yards for 24 years, it is hard to believe that that wonderful journey has come to an end, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank people who have played an important role in my life. Also, for the first time in my life I am carrying this list, to remember all the names in case I forget someone. I hope you understand. It's getting a little bit difficult to talk but I will manage.

The most important person in my life, and I have missed him a lot since 1999 when he passed away, my father. Without his guidance, I don't think I would have been standing here in front of you. He gave me freedom at the age of 11, and told me that [I should] chase my dreams, but make sure you do not find shortcuts. The path might be difficult but don't give up, and I have simply followed his instructions. Above all, he told me to be a nice human being, which I will continue to do and try my best. Every time I have done something special [and] showed my bat, it was [for] my father.

My mother, I don't know how she dealt with such a naughty child like me. I was not easy to manage. She must be extremely patient. For a mother, the most important thing is that her child remains safe and healthy and fit. That was what she was most bothered and worried about. She took care of me for the last 24 years that I have played for India, but even before that she started praying for me the day I started playing cricket. She just prayed and prayed and I think her prayers and blessings have given me the strength to go out and perform, so a big thank you to my mother for all the sacrifices.

In my school days, for four years, I stayed with my uncle and aunt because my school was quite far from my home, and they treated me like their son. My aunt, after having had a hard day's play, I would be half asleep and she would be feeding me food so I could go again and play tomorrow. I can't forget these moments. I am like their son and I am glad it has continued to be the same way.

My eldest brother, Nitin, and his family, have always encouraged me. My eldest brother doesn't like to talk much, but the one thing he always told me is that whatever you do, I know you will always give it 100%, and that I have full faith and confidence in you. His encouragement meant a lot to me. My sister, Savita, and her family, was no different. The first cricket bat of my life was presented to me by my sister. It was a Kashmir willow bat. But that is where the journey began. She is one of those many who still continue to fast when I bat, so thank you very much.

Ajit, my brother, now what do I talk about him? I don't know. We have lived this dream together. He was the one who sacrificed his career for my cricket. He spotted the spark in me. And it all started from the age of 11 when he took me to Archrekar sir, my coach, and from there on my life changed. You will find this hard to believe but even last night he called to discuss my dismissal, knowing that there was a remote chance of batting again, but just the habit we have developed, the rapport we have developed, since my birth, has continued and it will continue. Maybe when I'm not playing cricket we will still be discussing technique.

Various things we agreed upon, my technique, and so many technical things which I didn't agree with him, we have had arguments and disagreements, but when I look back at all these things in my life, I would have been a lesser cricketer.

The most beautiful thing happened to me in 1990 when I met my wife, Anjali. Those were special years and it has continued and will always continue that way. I know Anjali, being a doctor; there was a wonderful career in front of her. When we decided to have a family, Anjali took the initiative to step back and say that 'you continue with your cricket and I will take the responsibility of the family'.

Without that, I don't think I would have been able to play cricket freely and without stress. Thanks for bearing with all my fuss and all my frustrations, and all sorts of rubbish that I have spoken. Thanks for bearing with me and always staying by my side through all the ups and downs. You are the best partnership I've had in my life.

Then, the two precious diamonds of my life, Sara and Arjun. They have already grown up. My daughter is 16, my son is 14. Time has flown by. I wanted to spend so much time with them on special occasions like their birthdays, their annual days, their sports day, going on holidays, whatever. I have missed out on all those things. Thanks for your understanding. Both of you have been so, so special to me you cannot imagine. I promise you [that] for 14 and 16 years I have not spent enough time with both of you, but the next 16 years or even beyond that, everything is for you.

My in-laws, Anand Mehta and Annabel, both have been so, so supportive [and] loving and caring. I have discussed on various things in life, generally with them, and have taken their advice. You know, it's so important to have a strong family who is always with you and who are guiding you. Before you start clapping, the most important thing they did was allowing me to marry Anjali, so thank you very much.

In the last 24 years that I have played for India I have made new friends, and before that I have had friends from my childhood. They have all had a terrific contribution. As and when I have called them to come and bowl to me at the nets, they have left their work aside to come and help me. Be it joining me on holidays and having discussions with me on cricket, or how I was a little stressed and wanting to find a solution so I can perform better.

All those moments my friends were with me. Even for when I was injured, I would wake up in the morning because I couldn't sleep and thought that my career was over because of injuries, that is when my friends have woken up at 3 o'clock in the morning to drive with me and make me believe that my career was not over. Life would be incomplete without all those friends. Thanks for being there for me.

My cricket career started when I was 11. The turning point of my career was when my brother (Ajit) took me to Achrekar sir. I was extremely delighted to see him up in the stands. Normally he sits in front of the television and he watches all the games that I play. When I was 11/12, those were the days when I used to hop back on his scooter and play a couple of practice matches a day. The first half the innings I would be batting at Shivaji Park, the second half, at some other match in Azad Maidan. He would take me all over Mumbai to make sure I got match practice.

On a lighter note, in the last 29 years, sir has never ever said 'well played' to me because he thought I would get complacent and I would stop working hard. Maybe he can push his luck and wish me now, well done on my career, because there are no more matches, sir, in my life. I will be witnessing cricket, and cricket will always stay in my heart, but you have had an immense contribution in my life, so thank you very much.

My cricket for Mumbai started right here on this ground, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), which is so dear to me. I remember landing from New Zealand at four o'clock in the morning, and turning up for a game here at eight o'clock just because I wanted to be a part of Mumbai cricket, and not that somebody forced me. That was for the love of Mumbai cricket, and thank you very much. The president is here so thank you very much, along with your team, for taking care of me and looking after my cricket.

The dream was obviously to play for India, and that is where my association with BCCI started. BCCI was fantastic, right from my debut they believed in my ability and selecting me into the squad at the age of 16 was a big step, so thanks to all the selectors for having faith in me and the BCCI for giving me the freedom to express myself out in the middle. Things would have been different if you had not been behind me, and I really appreciate your support. Especially when I was injured, you were right with me and making sure that all the treatments were taken care of, and that I got fit and fine and playing [right] back for India.

The journey has been special, the last 24 years, I have played with many senior cricketers, and even before that there were many senior cricketers with whom I watched on television. They inspired me to play cricket, and to play in the right way. Thanks to all those senior cricketers, and unfortunately I have not been able to play with them, but I have high regards for all their achievements and all their contributions.

We see it on the mega-screen, Rahul, Laxman, Sourav, and Anil, who is not here, and my team-mates right here in front me. You are like my family away from home. I have had some wonderful times with you. It is going to be difficult to not be part of the dressing room, sharing those special moments. All the coaches for their guidance, it has been special for me. I know when MS Dhoni presented me the 200th Test match cap on Day One morning. I had a brief message for the team. I would like to repeat that. I just feel that all of us are so, so fortunate and proud to be part of the Indian cricket team and serving the nation.

Knowing all of you guys, I know you will continue to serve the nation in the right spirit and right values. I believe we have been the lucky ones to be chosen by the Almighty to serve this sport. Each generation gets this opportunity to take care of this sport and serve it to the best of our ability. I have full faith in you to continue to serve the nation in the right spirit and to the best of your ability, to bring all the laurels to the country. All the very best.

I would be failing in my duties if I did not thank all the doctors, the physios, the trainers, who have put this difficult body together to go back on the field and be able to play. The amount of injuries that I have had in my career, I don't know how you have managed to keep me fit, but without your special efforts, it would never have happened. The doctors have met me at weird hours. I mean I have called them from Mumbai to Chennai, Mumbai to Delhi, I mean wherever. They have just taken the next flight and left their work and families to be with me, which has allowed me to play. So a big thank you to all three of you for keeping me in good shape.

My dear friend, late Mark Mascarenhas, my first manager. We unfortunately lost him in a car accident in 2001, but he was such a well-wisher of cricket, my cricket, and especially Indian cricket. He was so passionate. He understood what it takes to represent a nation and gave me all the space to go out and express myself, and never pressurised me to do this ad or promotion or whatever the sponsors demanded. He took care of that and today I miss him, so thank you Mark for all your contribution.

My current management team, WSG, for repeating what Mark has done, because when I signed the contract I exactly told them what I want from them, and what it requires to represent me. They have done that and respected that.

Someone who has worked closely with me for 14 years is my manager, Vinod Nayudu. He is more like my family and all the sacrifices, spending time away from his family for my work, has been special, so big thank you to his family as well for giving up so much time for my work with Vinod.

In my school days, when I performed well, the media backed me a lot. They continue to do that till this morning. Thank you so much to the media for supporting and appreciating my performances. It surely had a positive effect on me. Thank you so much to all the photographers as well for those wonderfully captured moments that will stay with me for the rest of my life, so a big thank you to all the photographers.

I know my speech is getting a bit too long (crowd roars with 'noooo'), but this is the last thing I want to say. I want to thank all the people here who have flown in from various parts of the world, and have supported me endlessly, whether I scored a 0 or a 100-plus. Your support was so dear to me and meant a lot to me. Whatever you have done for me.

I know I have met so many guys who have fasted for me, prayed for me, done so much for me. Without that life wouldn't have been like this for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and also say that time has flown by rather quickly, but the memories you have left with me will always be with me forever and ever, especially "Sachin, Sachin" which will reverberate in my ears till I stop breathing. Thank you very much. If I have missed out on saying something, I hope you understand. Goodbye

Ezra -എസ്രാ Review

Is Ezra a horrible?

Director: Jay kk

Written: Jay kk

Staring: Prithviraj Sukumaran
               Priya Anand
Cinematography: Sujith Vaassudev

Running time: 147 minutes

Language:  Malayalam

IMDB Rating: 8.4/10

My Rating: 3.8/5

Ezra is an Indian Malayalam horror thriller film written and directed by Jay K, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. Major filming locations were Fort Kochi and Sri Lanka.Principal photography began in late-June 2016. The music of the film features songs composed separately by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam.

R a n j a n M a t h e w (Prithviraj) and his wife Priya Raghuram (Priya Anand) relocate from Mumbai to Kochi. At Kochi they move into a lovely old villa and Priya keeps herself busy by decorating the villa with handpicked curios.

In that process Priya comes across a strange looking box at the antique shop of Moosaka (Alencier Ley Lopez). With the entry of the box in to the villa, both Priya and Ranan realise that their peaceful existence has gone on to get disturbed. How do they go on to face the situation and overcome it is what Ezra is all about. Jay K and his co-writer Manu Gopal have come up with a novel concept. Jews have been around in India and Kochi for long, yet no one so far has explored the Jewish background and used “Dybbuk” as an element of horror, till Ezra came along.

The film is technically sound. Sujith Vaassudev’s cinematography is an asset; the songs by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam go with the flow. The pace does dip a bit inbetween and the film does not have any jump scary moments as such. And the culmination to the tale is a bit of let-down. But all these do not take away from the fact that the film has a lot of positives going in its favour. Sudev Nair, Vijayaraghavan, Sujith Shankar, Babu Antony and Tovino Thomas play their parts well. Priya Anand makes a confident entry into Malayalam cinema and she compliments Prithviraj well. Prithviraj gets back to form in style with Ezra, as he plays Ranjan Mathew with a lot of maturity.

Ezra certainly a good movie.it is build on a superb storyline.The camera quality was extra ordinary.The film goes through the life of Ranjan.Even though it is categoried as horror,it will not give a horrible effect to us.But the story is a extra ordinary one.The film has little twists and turns.
Any way Ezra make worth your ticket and time.

What is LiFi

What is LiFi ?

LiFi, meaning Light Fidelity,is a term coined by pureLiFi co-founder and CSO, Professor Harald Haas, when he demonstrated LiFi for the first time at a TED talk in 2011,and refers to light based communications technology that delivers a high-speed, bidirectional networked, mobile communications in a similar manner as Wi-Fi. Although Li-Fi can be used to off-load data from existing Wi-Fi networks, implementations may be used to provide capacity for the greater downlink demand such that existing wireless or wired network infrastructure may be used in a complementary fashion.

LiFi is the use of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit information at very high speeds. This is in contrast to established forms of wireless communication such as Wi-Fi which use traditional radio frequency (RF) signals to transmit data.

With LiFi, data is transmitted by modulating the intensity of the light, which is then received by a photo-sensitive detector, and the light signal is demodulated into electronic form. This modulation is performed in such a way that it is not perceptible to the human eye.

LiFi is a category of Optical Wireless Communications (OWC). OWC includes infra-red and ultra-violet communications as well as visible light. However, LiFi is unique in that the same visible light energy used for illumination may also be used for communication.

How fast is LiFi ?

Light Fidelity or Li-Fi is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system running wireless communications travelling at very high speeds. Li-Fi uses common household LED (light emitting diodes) lightbulbs to enable data transfer, boasting speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second.
