5 best movies I have ever seen

So this is the list of 5 best movies I have ever seen. The list is in alphabetical order and I hope most of you must have seen almost each movie in the list.

1. Fight Club(1999) 
Directed by David Fincher and starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt this movie serves as a metaphor for the conflict between young generation and the value system of advertising. The character of Tyler Durden is the soul of the movie who is anti -materialist and always ready to give you surprises. With a very unusual story and an unexpected twist in climax, this is a must watch movie.

2. Gladaiator(2000)
Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe this is an epic historical drama film. This movie depicts the life of Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius. This movie is epic in every aspect story, cast ,set everything. The fall and the subsequent rise of Maximus and the struggle he has to face is itself very inspiring. Winners of 5 academy awards and one of the best historic movie I have seen.

3. The Dark Knight(2008)
Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale changed the way people looked upon at superhero movies. Nolan's trilogy is undoubtedly better than all the previous attempt to bring Batman on the screen but the second installment is the best Nolan has achieved in doing so. The movie observes vigilante balancing his life as Batman and Bruce Wayne and his encounter with the maniac   
Joker immortalized by Heath Ledger. 

4.The Shawshank Redemption(1994)
Directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I got know about this movie from one of my friend who advised to watch this movie when I am fully ready for it as I may dislike it. The movie received lukewarm response upon its release( I don't know why?). This movie is a screen adaptation of perseverance and determination. With great characters and a great story,must watch.

5.V for Vendetta(2005)
Directed by James McTeigue set in a near future London, Hugo Weaving portrays V, a bold and charismatic freedom fighter attempting to ignite a revolution. The protagonist wears the mask almost throughout the movie that runs at a slow place but introduces you to ideas you would have never pondered upon.

The Escalator Moment

"The best things in life are unexpected, because there were no expectations." - Eli Khamarov So, it goes like this. I went to the local mall this noon for the pizza. And this mall have escalators( every mall have). But, the escalator is not my concern what caught my attention was a couple. The lady seemed to have never used the escalator and was bit apprehensive about it. And her husband was giving all the logic and the strategies to do so. He himself demonstrated those by going down and coming back. I don't know if the lady overcame her fear( OK, I went for pizza and was really hungry ), but the incident gave a lot of fodder for my brain. Everyone of us being a part of society is expected to follow a certain set of rules. And how we learn these rules. My answer, every moment we spend. Ever since childhood we are told to follow the path that everyone is following get good marks, don't make friends of other religion, get admission in a reputed college,

Surge Pricing in cab aggregation services

The time is 11:30 PM, your favourite band just ended their jamming session and you just now want to go back to your room, sleeping upon one of the best memories of your life. You open the Uber app and see what you have been fearing in the back of your mind. There is surge pricing with a multiplier of 2.5x. ### The rise in the ‘sharing’ or ‘gig’ economy has led to a shift from the traditional work culture with fixed working hours. One prominent example of this ‘gig economy’ is ride-sharing apps like Uber and Ola. Uber helps in connecting riders with the drivers, while setting fare for the ride based on the distance covered and total time taken to complete the trip. In case of high demand, Uber applies a ‘surge’ pricing to its fare which has been controversial since the introduction of feature. As per the Uber website, the surge pricing works in 3 steps: Due to weather conditions, special events or due to rush hour, a higher number of people may request an Uber ride than usual.

How to make the most out of you in 2014?

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." - Johann Von Goethe So, 2013 is going to end soon and yet another new year celebration. and day after day and lo a whole year is passed. Seems familiar huh. Being obsessive about self-help and motivational books ( and a big fan of Robin Sharma), it is like a ritual for me to make resolutions every year. But again who don't :) The problem is that with time these resolution get far from our sight day by day and by the end of February, we cant even remember what we had sought from ourselves. So, here are my suggestions to me and everyone who doesn't want this annual happening to be a reality again in 2014: 1. Make realistic resolution  The problem with having a hard goal is that it requires more determination, stronger will and greater focus. Why take the hard path? So, if you challenge yourself to read 60 novels within a year. Certainly you will fail
