WHAT:
CLAY Wellness Studio, Mumbai in collaboration with Meera Mittal presents
“Movement” - a discovery of your personal dance form.
——————————
What is Movement?
To quote Isadora Duncan, “If I could tell you that, I wouldn’t have to dance
it.” (Isadora Duncan, when asked what one of her dances meant). 
Even so to explore… What is Movement?
In Physics: Physical motion between points in space. The creation of action.
In Music: a self-contained section of a larger work such as a symphony.
In Dance: An expression of ideas or thought, through gesture or transfer of
weight.
Movement is….
….a form of dynamic expression.
….a form of contemporary dance.
….an exploration of one’s unique rhythm and style of dance.
….a form of dance-theater.
….the free play of the body to music.
….for people of all age groups and fitness levels.

About CLAY:
CLAY is the brainchild of fashion designer Anita Dongre.
An enthusiast of good health, fitness and spiritual well being, Anita wanted
to bring to the busy Mumbaiite a wellness center that would offer solutions
to improving lifestyles, from the physical to the emotional. By
converting a beautiful, cozy cottage in the heart of Bandra’s Pali village
into a haven of natural beauty, CLAY’s wooden, earthy interiors, exercise
studio and little green garden make it an inviting and peaceful place
where you can relax and breathe easy.
The CLAY approach to self enhancement touches upon the external as well as
internal. We believe that transformation is total only if the mind and body
are addressed simultaneously.

WHY: (if you’re still reading)
About Contemporary Dance:
Contemporary Dance can be conceived as a new way of thinking about dance
today. A form of expression through movement that processes memory,
experience and imagination. The emphasis of contemporary
dance is on:
+ Originality
+ Innovation
+ Creativity
+ Interdisciplinarity
+ Exciting
Contemporary dance engages with daily concerns, issues and experiences and
offers immense possibilities of integrating technology in dance. Many of the
best contemporary dance performances are a spectacle of
light, sound, digital arts and movement, unleashing creativity to its
zenith. It goes beyond the narrative form of expression and becomes a total
sensorial experience for the audience, a visual poetry of sorts.
Contemporary dance truly represents the globalised ethos of today, thriving
on cultural exchange, breaking barriers of language, and yet projecting a
sense of the unique culture of a region on to a world arena.
Contemporary forms of expression grew in strength since the early part of
the 20 th century in Europe and the US and later spread to all parts of the
world.
Internationally, contemporary dance is the fastest growing art form in
countries like the UK. In India too, it is a niche form of expression that
is finding an increasing number of patrons and audiences.

Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin with the following:
The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I’ve been doing my part.’
P.s I wish someone told him that Budweiser is no longer American, the Belgians own it :))
Both movies are awesome, i would give 4.5/5 to each.
If possible watch them back2back
For reviews check out Wogma or IMDB they are the best.
One simple learning after watching Rock On, I have to get back and find my longlost friends specially a Bawa friend of mine Rushad, last seen working for Jet Airways and hanging around around J49 and my childhood friend Shams Moosa, who moved from Borivli to Yari Rd, cant find them on any social network or search engine,
Rock On.

Good initiative by Govt of India
22-Aug-08
Do action instead of more words…
An important message , Indian government has introduced a new scheme of grievance form submission through online. which is attached below.
Government of India has an online Grievance forum at http://pgportal. gov.in/ Can you imagine this is happening in INDIA ? The govt. wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they face while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc. So use this grievance forum and educate others who don’t know about this facility. This way we can raise our concerns instead of just talking about the ‘ System ‘ in India .Invite your friends to contribute for many such happenings.

Though I have no issues with the same or asking any money, but I do expect a basic courtesy and ethical acknowledgment of the same.

Phoonk Contest - Innovative Stuff
20-Aug-08
Phoonk Contest, originally uploaded by Bombayite.
I think this campaign idea is innovative and really outta da box.
2 Important points among the 25 point Terms & Conditions which seem the most scariest.
Point 14 - Cameras will monitor every move of the contestant. If any contestant shut his/her eyes over 3 seconds duration or covers his/her ears any time inside cinema hall between special show of film, he/she will be treated as disqualified and OMT will not give any prize money to such contestant and contestant shall not claim any prize thereafter.
Point 15 - The film will not have an interval.
In short if the movie is crap and if you close your eyes to pray to your imaginary friend for mercy you are OUT!!
More details on the contest

P.s I wonder why RGV cou;n’t think about this idea for the Epic Sholay remake “RGV ki Aag”

My own Little Investment - Compulink
19-Aug-08
Why I love this company:
• Low Priced Product Company
•Niche Products
•75% discount to IPO Price
•Dividend Paying (5%)
•Book Value higher than CMP
•Real Estate unlocked Value
•Strong Promoters - Vishwas Mahajan, Achyut Godbole
•Microsoft strong partnership
•Valuation: @26 Crore market Cap looks very cheap considering Cash from IPO, Real Estate Value & Zero Debt
Roshan had first introduced this scrip to me a few years ago, kinda participated in the rally from @ 18 to 50 and back to current levels.
The company mentions in its balance sheet that its different from the other Indian IT companies who are more into IT Services and allied stuff, Compulink is a product company, a different ball game.
This is the kinda company that surely seems like good value investment if you are in it for the long haul.
Would love to hear to your views/inputs on the scrip.
