What they do in the turbulent times?
This video is developed by Gesture Graphics & Development for Mr. Thomas G Reed. Mr. Thomas is organizing an event at HiWay Theater for the citizens of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania ( America) on 23rd May, 2009.
Story of Gesture Graphics & Development: We are looking for strategic and traditional investors
Dear friends,
Let me introduce my company to you. Our company’s name is “ Gesture Graphics & Development”. We are into developing animated and other kind of graphics. Though, we develop all kind of graphics like logo, mascot, illustrations, cartoons and comics, our main focus in on developing interesting and eye-catching animated contents for movies, TV, internet, mobiles and CD/ DVDs.
We started this venture called www.gesturegraphics.com before 3 years. It was a team of just two individuals. One was obviously myself, a computer science graduate with experience in films, TV and of course IT. While I worked on dealings with clients and marketing of our company on web , Kanika Mishra; a Masters in Fine Arts and a trained animator became in charge of arts, graphics and animation department. She is solely responsible for all animation work on our website and her work generated great reviews and feedback from prestigious organizations in all over the world.
At that time, we were looking for some platform where we could express our creativity, talent and enthusiasm. Help came from some of our dear friends who introduced us to some clients and soon we started taking small steps to our big dream. We just had a second hand computer at that time but we had this irrepressible spirit to touch the sky.
We developed a simple logo and a home made website. Our aim was to give our clients this feeling of serious professionalism and commitment in our approach and I think that our logo conveyed that message beautifully to the buyers.
Our tag line “Realize your imagination” represents our commitment towards a project and confidence in our abilities. I believe that our buyer realized that we are serious and honest and soon we became one of the top providers on a leading website.
Once we reached in the top five list among thousand of providers in “ Graphic Design & Multimedia” category, we knew that we have proved ourselves and this is time to move forward to next level.
In this process, we gave our website and logo a new look. The earlier logo had a soft tone and an intensity to make or break, our new logo tells a story of reassurance and have a relaxed and confident look.
We have completed hundreds of successful project with positive feedback and reviews and our clients have many good things to say about ourselves. I will humbly request you to have a look on those remarks. Our purpose to write these remarks at this space is to show our commitment through the point of view of our clients.
We turned to Gesture Graphics in India, for our flash work on the children’s series, and found a wonder in Kanika. Kanika is fast, always willing to please, and her work is a delight for all to view. Many blessings came our way in meeting Kanika. We will be working with her for years to come.
-Ms. Joan M Symonds, Marmalade Sky Publishing, Portland, Maine
Gestures Graphics were great. They were always responsive and communicative, especially as we tweaked the animations to fit our requirements. We spent a lot of more, I am sure much more than expected, getting the last animation to suit our requirements and Kanika at Gesture Graphics was patient and accommodating throughout. We wholeheartedly enjoyed working with Gesture Graphics and will definitely do so again in the future.
- Ms. Barbara Pratt, High Tech Leadership Inc, Ponte Vedra Beach.
I highly recommend this vendor. The work was superb and communication throughout the project was above and beyond expectations. They took the project and performed amazingly. Delivery of project was exactly on schedule!!! I give them my full endorsement. I couldn’t be happier with their service and professional attitude. Kanika’’s skills as an artist and her professional view of our needs was very helpful as we entered this project with general ideas which she took and turned into a very professional presentation!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
- Mr. Noam Samson, CEO Cellforce.com.
Excellent job. We highly recommend this provider. They went above and beyond the project scope and did not ask for extra fee.

Gulaal: Indian movies on the move…
Last week I saw this movie called Gulaal directed by Anurag Kashyap. Most of the actors in the movie are not a very recognizable face but when it comes to performance, they can beat any mainstream hero. “Wow!”
I generally do not like dark and very very realistic movies as they generally leave their viewers frustrated and most of them are made to prove the caliber of a prize winning director. A simplicity of story –telling is generally missing in so called great movies but Gulaal is an exception. It’s out an out an entertaining movie without any compromise in it’s realistic approach. This is what called the great talent and Anurag Kashyap definitely deserves a lot of accolades for his work.
I hope that time has come when Yash Chopras, Subhash Ghais and Karan Johars will take a note of this change in Indian cinema and stop making mess in the name of movies which are generally very high in budget and very low when it comes to contents. We are really tired of these so called superstars with mediocre acting abilities. It’s really a relief to watch great performances of almost unknown actors in Gulaal.
Anybody who has ever been a part of north Indian states knows that characters like “Ransa” and “Bhati” in the movie are as real as they could be. And what a remarkable performance from Kay kay Menon! I remember him working in a small role in a Ravi Rai’s serial “Teacher”. Those were his struggling days and now he is getting his due for his hard work and patience.
Not to forget the performance from Mahi Gill. In my personal opinion, her “ Chak- Mak” song is far better than Aishwarya’s “Kajra re”. Mahi successfully portrayed the pain and glamour in his performance while Kajra –re was all about the plastic smiles. And where was Piyush Mishra till now? He is the most talented and original music composer and I am listening his songs again and again. God bless him!!!
Well done, Anurag Kashyap. My best wishes for you and your team of performers in Gulaal.
No lesson learnt from terror attacks : These Indian politicians will never change
We were expecting a change in the working style of our politicians after these terror attacks. But these politicians will never learn. Congress took four days to decide about a new chief minister in Maharashtra after Vilasrao’s resignation. They were looking for a candidate with whom they can balance the caste equation in Maharashtra. High command do not want to loose any points in caste politics of Maharashtra.
God !!! When Indian politics will move over from caste and religion?
Can we ever have political leaders like our business leaders?
Can we ever see people like Azim Premji, Narayan Murthi, A P J Kalam Azad or Ratan Tata as our politicians?
FUTURE PRIME MINISTER IN INDIAN DREAMS
Please check what magazine forbes says in their latest edition…
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/forbes-chooses-its-obama-for-india-ratan-tata/79734-19.html
I am sure that both terrorists and Indian politicians do not want to see a united India. We can see how BJP and congress leaders became united to curb the campaign of united India and sent a circular to news channels that they should behave ( according to politician’s requirements).
I saw this debate on NDTV where Muslim leaders are saying it loud and clear that they want all the terrorists to be punished severely. One of them even gave advice to attack Pakistan but our UPA leaders want to show themselves a pro-minority government and they even defend ultimate punishment for terrorist who attacked Indian parliament. These leaders should be ashamed of themselves.
The fact is that all of these leaders from Gandhis to Advani and from Thakreys to Lalu and Mulayam Yadavs do not want to see us united. They want to divide us in “Hindus and Muslims”, ” North Indians and Marathi Maanus”, ”Rich and poor or “ forward and backward”. This is their very game plan and this gives them access to our votes without any hard work. If we become an united nation, we will ask for progress, prosperity, roads, health, security and other facilities which is demand of every Indian. These lazy leaders who live as parasites can not do that much hard work so they search for a ” short-cut”. For example Raj Thakrey made himself a popular politician within three month by raising some meaningless issues. Not to forget how BJP became a BIG party after raising issue of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya or Congress which is delaying punishment to Afzal Guru just to ensure minority votes. I don’t understand how can they insult Indian Muslims like that?
As an Indian , I have firm faith in our Indian culture and I vow to not get into any trap like Noth Indian v/s Marthi Maanus or Hindu v/s Muslim laid by these selfish, mean and good for nothing politicians.
I just read the statement of one BJP show-piece who understand himself a leader called Shatrughan Sinha and it enraged me. He used very mean words for the Mumbaikars who showed their gratitude and concern for nation.
Don’t discriminate in mourning the dead: Shatrughan Sinha
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Patna/Dont_discriminate_in_mourning_the_dead_Shatrughan/articleshow/3805048.cms
As in true political style, he again tried to divide us between rich and poor OR North Indian v/s Marathi. How can this person play politics when we face such a tragedy.
Why these Indian politicians can not digest it when Indians get united for a cause???
From Sumit Kumar Srivastava, UK
That’s where lie complete political reform….
Lot of problem lies here with multi party system.
I think, there should be law, if a regional party wins around 20% seats in five states then only they can contest central Govt. election. Similarly if a party leads 20% cities at the corporation level in a state then only they can contest state Govt. election.
There should be some type of restriction in entering the politics.

Terror Attack on Mumbai: Let’s salute our Heroes and throw all politicians in dustbin
Terror Attack on Mumbai: Let’s salute our Heroes and throw all politicians in dustbin
It is very usual to read and write something after such incidents but as an Indian I can see a distinct difference in the feelings of fellow Indians after this biggest terror attack on India.
There is one common feeling in us that WE INDIANS DO NOT WANT TO HEAR and SEE THESE POLITICIANS ANYMORE. THEY ARE COMPLETE WASTE and INDIAN PUBLIC CAN DO FAR BETTER WITHOUT THESE BLOOD SUCKERS WHO LIVE, TRAVEL AND ENJOY ON HARD EARNED MONEY OF PUBLIC(yes, we pay for their high class life style and extra ordainary living as taxes ).
We lost our brave police officers like Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kampte, Vijay Salasakar and others because these politicians are failed to develop a system against terrorism. How could we expect them to survive when they were carrying just a revolver to fight highly trained terrorist who are equipped with AK-47 and loads of grenade. They were true sons of India and they respond with whatever they had when nation called for them.
The bravery of our commandos and policemen is exceptional. Their sacrifice made us understand that what is the meaning of a true Indian. Suddenly, all politicians seem to have forgotten all those fake issues which they used for years to make us a chunk of vote bank.
Suddenly we see an united India against one common enemy and that enemy is politics of this country and incompetence of these politicians. I love Mr. Alyque Padmsee’s comments that any of our ministers is not able to do a simple daily job and he would not hire any of them even as his secretary.
Advani and BJP are no more talking of Sadhvi Prgya Thakur, Congress is not talking about Nuclear deal and so called progress ( which never reached to common man) anymore. The citizens of Mumbai and India in no mood to give any attention to distracting and meaningless campaigns of Raj Thakrey and other leaders.. Indians have seen their Heroes and now they know whom they can trust at the time of crisis. Some political outfits who very conveniently use “Sena” ( Army) as suffix in their name should know now that a true army fights against an enemy of country and not their own brothers.
We again salute all our heroes in NSG ( Martyrs Sandeep Unnikrishnana and Gajendra Singh), Navy (Marcos) commandos and Mumbai police force. Let us not forget the announcers at CST station who saved many lives by continuously announcing about the terror attack until terrorist killed them. Thanks to Mr.Tukaram Omble, the brave policeman who grabbed the AK-47 of terrorist to save other’s lives. Mr. Omble didn’t leave that coward terrorist until all bullets were pumped in his stomach I may not be knowing many names but we salute all of them who saved us.
We thank them from our hearts for saving our lives and this city Mumbai which is pride of every Indian.
Addition from Sumit Kumar Srivastava, Software Consultant from UK
I feel angered, disillusioned and sad today. They have made mockery out of the political system. Current leadership (Central and State) is not fit to lead this country even for a day there time seems to be over. Alternative is also not very encouraging and I am sure they will also not bring about many changes, but again we don’t have any choice.
Let us congratulate NDTV for their initiative to bring Indians under one roof. It’s important to put pressure on the political class, they are mare public servants and they should work in the interest of public. Masses can not be taken granted, they should work in the interest of public/country not in the interest of their vote bank.
War with terrorism has to be fought on two fronts.
Internally
1. Overhauling our own intelligence agencies, police forces, decentralization of NSG.
2. Equip them with best infrastructure and modern technology.
3. Not any kind of political interference in their counter terrorism operations for example neither Laloo and Mulayam’s thought on Batala House encounter nor BJP’s protection to Sadhvi Pragya.
4. Bring the stringent anti terrorism law to execute the terrorist within a year if the ample evidence of found against him.
5. Special courts for the terrorism acts to fast track the cases.
Externally
1. Prepare the case against the Pakistan and go out on all international forums against them
2. Provide the evidence not only to them but to the international media
3. Send the envoy to all the major countries including China and put forward our case and intelligence against Pakistan.
4. Give the time line to Pakistan to act. If they not then threaten them with the ultimate action.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Shame on Lalu , Mulyam and Amar Singh who made mockery of martyrdom of Inspector Sharma to appease muslim votes. I just read comment of a Maulana that politicians who think that they can get Muslim votes by not condemming terrorism and Pakistan are fools. Every Muslim is an Indian first and there should not be any vote plotics on such sensitive issues. Similarly Mr. L K Advani and Mr. Narendra Modi should feel ashamed for supporting Sadhvi Prgya Thakur. How long these leaders want to make fool of us? Enough is Enough. It is ironical that last month when all police force in Mumbai was busy in controlling Raj Thakrey’s SENA, terrorists must be planning their next move to blow the Mumbai .
Do we Indians really have time and energy to waste in these petty issues? We must know it very well after these terror attacks that there are forces who have only one aim and that is to destroy India and Indians completely. The bullets from their AK-47 will never ask the person if he is North Indian or South Indian or Marathi or Bengali or Muslim or Christian? If we can not stay together we will be destroyed together.
Indian citizens want their safety, strong economy, health, education, progress and prosperity and if these leaders are not able , they must quit. Do they have any shame?
And yes, you are right Sumit, we must congratulate NDTV. They are just great and I am proud as an Indian on this News Channel. I just saw the story of Zillu Yadav, the 52 years YOUNG from Railway Police Force. He fought bravely with his 303 gun and gave these coward terrorists a hard time. Move over all action heroes… Here comes a real hero – Zillu Yadav.
I again salute all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for our safety.
Vande Matram.
And Shame on these corrupt politicians who provided our police force with cheapest quality bullet-proof jackets. If terrorists are the killers, these leaders are equally responsible.
SHAME…. SHAME…. SHAME…..

Asaram Ashram, Kalyug 5000 and other controversies related to him- 2
This post is concluding part of my earlier post about Asaram Bapu. Lot of his followers is asking my why did I leave him. Here, I will tell you my story. Please visit the link below to see my earlier post on same subject and related comments.
My earlier post about Asaram disturbed ardent followers of him and I understand and respect their feelings. I would like to clarify that my purpose was not to hurt anybody’s sentimets and I wrote this personal blog just about my own experiences. If others are having a good experience with him and they are enjoying his company, I do not tell them to follow my views.
I also want to tell these followers if you consider him and his son as God then why you become restless when you read one or two article against him? Your Guru has lacks of followers and if one of them like me do not agree with you, take it easy , my friend! I hope that these are not your most hidden insecurities.
As the time changes , everything changes. Rule of Jungle is not allowed anymore in this world so show me some patience and tolerance as I do in my writhing. Give rest to your conspiracy theories, there is no money , no foreign hand behind my article. As one follower said this article is all about my frustation. True friend, this is all about the frustration of the years, efforts and energy I wasted.
The fact is that I was also like you few years back and it was hard for me to hear the criticism of Asaram but I never choose to respond in violent manner as you people do.
Somebody cursed me that these are my bad deeds in past who forced me to leave Asaram but I do not want to talk about what I do not know. I am a man with brains which God has given to me as precious gift. How long I could ignore what I see and hear? Sorry friends, I am not as good Guru Bhakt ( great disciple) as you. I already read in Ramkrishna Paramhans’s book that if you choose a wrong Guru, you should be ready to bear all his deeds.
OK, I would like to share with you what incidents forced me to leave Asaram as my Guru.
During listening to his discourse about some incidents, I felt it many times that what he , his son and other are talking is not true as I already had my own studies of scriptures and books. For example this one incident Mr. Kuldeep Bhardwaj wrote in comments of earlier post. He wrote that Vivekanada once drank spit, saliva, sputum of Ramkrishna Pramhansa to prove his devotion (Guru Bhakti). This is no true . I have read “Ramkrishna Leelamrita” and “Ramkrisna Leela Prasang” , ” Vivekanada Literature” and other books related to his life not once but at least 50 times. I have never gone through an incident like this while reading these books. This is blatant lie. Vivekanda was most logical and strong willed person of his time, he always had freedom to speak freely in front of Ramkrishna and was never afraid to speak his mind even if it means to contradict his guru. But Ramkrshna never threatened him that it will be bad if you open your mouth in front of his guru. The fact is that when “Ramkrishna” was on his death-bed, Vivekanda doubted him if he really is the supreme soul. Ramkrishna immediately looked into his eyes and told him that he should not doubt. ” One who came as Ram and Krishna before, comes as “Ramkrishna” this time. And this is not by the logic of Vedant.”
My friend the purpose of a Guru is to clear doubts of his disciples. If somebody says that do not doubt on what you see and hear and if you are doing so, you are insulting your analyzing and logical power which is given to you by GOD.
I request you to read some of Ramkrisna- Vivekanada stories published from Ramkrishna Mission to know more about their Guru- disciple relationship.
Yeah, when we are talking about Ramkrishna Mission , I would like to speak one more doubt which troubled me for years as Asaram disciple.
When Vivekanada became successful and got an opportunity to do something good for this world, he created an organization and named it ” Ramkrishna Mission”. Asaram insists his followers to worship theirs Guru ( Himself ) but he never built an Ashram on the name of his guru ” Shri Lilashah Mahraj ji”. All his Ashrams are called ”Asaram Ashram” not ” Leela Shah Maharaj Ashram” .
In fact, I got a chance to visit the Ashram of ” Leelashah Mahraj” . This Ashram is in Nainital near Hanumangarhi Neeb Karori Baba’s Ashram. I saw that Master Leelashah’s ashram was in pathetic condition.
I do not want to comment further.
One more reason for my doubt was told to me by his ardent follower at my local place who donated his precious land to Asaram. I also contributed in his efforts with my articles in daily newspaper “Dainik Jagran” but when the Ashram was built with money donated by followers, poor fellow was kicked out from there. He told me that he was threatened by the Ashram’s manager that he should not be seen nearby the Ashram. The follower who had considered him as his God once was shattered. If you want, I will give you the name of person and place for further clarification.
Last blow on my faith was posters of not so classic movie I saw in my city in year 2004. The movie was called ” Kalyug 5000″ and Bapu was there on the posters with the words, ” Everybody should see this movie”.
I thought what the hell ???? ” What my Greatest God, my Guru, Absolute soul and Greatest truth is endorsing a C grade movie? Enough is enough. I quit, Guruji”
When I read the story of great saints like Shrdi Sai Baba, Swami Samarth, Ramkrishna, I realize that they all lived a simple life with least facilities. Their fame spread like the smell of beautiful flower which is a natural process. It was never an organized movement like we see here.
In one of his Meditation camp in Ahemdabad in !997, he declared that he is even bigger than any incarnation because he is absolute soul. I wonder if he can make this claim so confidently after deaths of innocent children in his own Ashram. Where was his powers when his own followers and their children were having threat on their lives?
( I again clarify that this post is all about my personal experiences and beliefs. If one choose to disagree, I understand but filthy , abusive and threatening laguage is simply not allowed)
Serial murders in Asaram Ashram and controversies related to him !!! Confession of a ex- disciple…..
I am proud to be an Indian. I am proud because I know the fact that India is a land of sacred saints and have a great cultural and spiritual heritage. India is a country who discovered some of the basic mathematical, scientific and medical facts thousand years ago and told the world the meaning of society and culture. This land is birthplace of many philosophies and spiritual teachings.
But yes, I also understand that being proud on something which happened thousand years back and facing the fact of today is two distinctly different issues. Blind faith and empty proud lead one to destruction and India need to see the reality of today. We can not hide behind our faith and run away from truth. Truth is God, even greater than God and truth must prevail on cost of anything.
Chhindwara shuts down over deaths in Asaram’s school
Here I want to tell you a story of an ex- disciple of Asaram. It has nothing to do with mysterious deaths of children in his Ashram but still an eye- opener. Let’s hear it in his own words……
I became a formal disciple of Asaram in December, 1995. I can say that I was always spiritually curious and I do not give Asaram credit to awaken this spirituality in me. Before meeting him, I had thoroughly read about the lives and teachings of great saints like Neeb Karori Baba, Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekanda, Swami Sivananda , Sai Baba and Swami Samarth.
My spritual urge was looking for someone whom I can see, meet or listen on physical level and Asaram was a complete package for people like me.
In fact, I was a quite ripe fruit who fell in the lap of Asaram after listening to his spiritual discourse which I found was a good combination of teachings of all the saints whom I already read. I thought that I also found my Guru in Asaram at physical level. This decision changed the course of my life and I wasted some important years of my life. I feel that I am lucky one who lost trust in his teaching in few years and re-structured my life once again but I wonder for his followers who never want to see beyond his teachings.
I am great fan of books written by Swami Vivekanad and Paramhansa Yoganand and feel fortunate to get a chance to go through the books of these great teachers. Though Asaram always seems to speak about God and his existence but he manipulates these teachings to propagate his own persona and make people to believe only in his Guru which he is himself.
Asaram says that this whole world and all relations are nothing but illusion. So what a disciple should do? He should join his Guru’s ashram and start doing services for his Guru.
True, this is something from Vedas. But the fact is that this truth which is called knowledge of ”Vedanta” is not for everyone. The great saint ” Ramkrishna Paramhansa” selected only 16 disciples to give them the knowledge of Vedanta. These disciples renounced the world and accepted the path of God and we can see how these disciples spread his teaching all over the world. Asaram go to every city and speak about the “Vedanta knowledge” to lacks of his followers. But none of them has become a ”Swami Vivekanada”.
But yes, his own son has been graduated to call himself God. Is one not enough ???
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=uj_qx_vOWB4
I would also like to tell you what Paramhansa Yoganand ji said in this regard, ” The world and spiritualism both are important. This is duty of every human being to strike a balance between his/her worldly duties and quest of God. If you ignore one for another Mahahmaya ( the great Goddess who run this world) will punish you.
Paramhansa Yogananda Ji
Asaram’s other teaching is that Guru is greater than God so it’s ok if you worship the Guru and forget the rest. Never have a doubt on your Guru and just do not argue if he says something.
On the contrary, Ramkrishna Parmhans never tried to curb the analyzing power of their disciples and he always encouraged them to develop their own personality. He always told his disciples to keep an eye on the activities of your Guru. You must know that if his a true Guru or fake one. When Vivekanada asked Ramkrishna the question if he had ever seen the God. He replied ,” Yes and I can also show the God to you.” and He did.
How many Asaram’s disciples has seen the God ??? I didn’t. I am not sure about Asaram and others.
Asaram does not give importance to formal education and says that everybody should learn about the God.
True, but again this is not a fact for worldly people. The most of the today’s world facilities we are enjoying are result of this formal medical, technical and other worldly education. Sant Asaram and others Guru in the same league didn’t waste their time in formal education but they extensively use today’s technology for weaving their web.
Asaram says that sexual desires are door of hell. Even husband and wife should stay away from each other so they can save their magnetism and aura.
Our Vedas says that dharam, arth, kaam, moksha ( spiritualism, money, sex and salvation) are four important duties of every man in this world. I accept that a saint should stay away from money and women but worldly people make their world around them. These are the inspiration and reason for progress of world.
This world is also made by God. The fact is that all great saints leave a wave of great selfless work behind them to make this world a better place. Running away from this wold is no solution to anybody.
I learned the truth hard way. Life is gift from God , we must respect it.
Neeb Karori Baba
