Hey,
There was a fire in a tower in Bangalore,3 streets away from where I work, My dad in Ahmedavad panicked to call and find out if I was fine...As two women had jumped to their death....I panicked to call and find out if my friend who works in that building was fine...while reading streaming twitter posts...of details and people caught in the smoke tweeting and waiting for help....my colleague who was on a phone call with a relative in kerala,said that the entire building was burning, My friend gave an interview to NDTV, which might have been watched by my dad...That's Virality for you,
rapid sharing, quick reactions,

Just as in http://blog.findingada.com/blog/2009/01/05/ada-lovelace-day/
'Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology. Women’s contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines. Whatever she does, whether she is a sysadmin or a tech entrepreneur, a programmer or a designer, developing software or hardware, a tech journalist or a tech consultant, we want to celebrate her achievements.'
However I feel disturbed by this phenomenon, cause it tests your ability to keep attention to what you are doing and I am sceptical of all the exaggeration hosted by mass media....
I loved the idea behind this shared workspace,its also practised in CIS too!

'Film fortunately, as an art form of our times, is an ensemble of many things — “shoes and ships and sealing wax…” (Lewis Carroll). We feel that all these elements add to the richness of the film and many layers and textures. They also help us liberate documentary film from the odious embrace of ‘reality’ and ‘neutrality’.

Poetry has this uncanny ability to take ordinary words and ‘re-present’ them, thereby inviting us to the experience of the word rather than its literal meaning. Poetry thus opens windows to the secret life that these words lead behind our backs. Combining it with music and paintings is electrifying.'
The best training that we have go as self-learning filmmakers is from watching films. Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Aravindan, Mani Kaul, Dziga Vertov — these filmmakers have been a great source of inspiration for us.
