Stereograms
The lastest thing that has caught my imagination is stereograms. These are the illusions that represent a 3D hidden image in a 2D image. While trying some of the eye excercises for computer profession I came across this. Have been practising this for last 2 days. Its fun.

Blood diamond
One of the very good movies that I have watched in recent times. The story is set in sierra leaon. This is a real life story of that country that touches the heart. The movie is very well directed and some excellent performances by the actors.
The country has large deposits of diamond. There exist no proper government control. Most of the parts of the country is controlled by the rebels who smuggle the diamonds to the neighbouring country and make money. These rebels make use of the poor people of the country for mining and are treated in very inhuman conditions. The story is narrated by a english journalist, who wants to expose the state of the country to the western world; a diamond smuggler and a normal civilian of the country, who by luck discovers a big diamond.
This may sound like a normal movie but I particularly like the way its directed which makes you think, are the diamonds really worth buying. Its coz of you so many people die...
There is a mention of India in the movie. They have mentioned India as the place where the smuggled diamonds are polished and mixed with other diamonds. I couldnt understand why India had to be drawn into all this. India is still a good market for diamonds. Maybe its time we stopped buyin diamonds and also all other precious stones...

Dhoom 2
AAAh finally I am watched Dhoom... it took me an entire day to get the tickets of this movie. Right from the morning I was struggling to get the tickets, finally at 7.00 in the evening got the tickets for the second show :D
Dhoom boasts about its star cast as the best in bollywood and its shows. The movie is basically made for Hritik and he performs a wonderful role. Ashwairya and Bipasha are at their best. Abhishek is typically wasted and uday chopra is a joke. The songs which was very good part1 in Dhoom2 you can find only remixes.
The initial part of the movie where hritik jumps onto the train, the sequence is very good even tho I couldnt understand what he was trying to do there ;) the different ways in which he robs was very creative. Right from the start Hritik mania takes over and keeps on the edge of the seat. This was supposed to be a cop-thief story and thats exactly what you get. There are many sequences where you feel that the director has tried to copy some of the hollywood movies like MI2 but at other times its just as funny. The movie has a few good twists and turns which makes you think why the movie doesnt have a proper story. Aishwarya has tried to look very sexy which i dont think suits well to her but the hritik-ash pair looks wonderful. Bipasha is sizzling hot... Overall the movie is very good. Defineatly worth watchin...
