Jacked off Knsaber: Just in time for the costume holiday. Here's a 49 minute edit
compressed to 9 minutes. The trick to a fast edit is memorizing pretty
much all of the shortcuts in an application. The 1.5 seconds it takes
to move the mouse to and back from a toolbar, times a few hundred

GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN
Between 1 and 90, a man is like Iran , ruled by nuts.
This
was narrated by an IAF pilot at a Seminar recently on Human
Relations: Venkatesh
Balasubramaniam (who works for IIT) describes how his gesture of booking an
air ticket for his father, his maidenflight,
brought forth a rush of emotions and made him (Venkatesh) realize that how
much we all take for granted when it comes to ourparents. My
parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to
see them off. In fact, my father had nevertravelled
by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the
same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets
on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the ticketsto
him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement
was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time oftravel.
Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we
all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the
baggage check-in and asking for a window seat and waitingrestlessly
for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and
I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these
things. As
they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with
tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as
if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to
him. When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me. But
later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life. As a
child, how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without
understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats, dresses,
toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have catered
to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to
accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they
have done for us? Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always
think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of
donation, we will ensure that we will have to
give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that
our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our
responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed
to see when they were young. It is our responsibility to ensure that they
experience all those and their life is complete. Many
times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered
back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very
polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those
moments. Let us realize that old age is a second childhood
andjust
as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care needs to
be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying thank you to
me, I would
want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do
realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give
the best possible attention to all their wishes. Just
because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything
and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes,
too. Take
care of your parents. THEY ARE PRECIOUS.
