BREAK THE CODES!

With so many inexplicable expectations in mind, just because I've seen a couple of Dan Brown's works on screen, I started eagerly, this thrilling ride. Cryptography and Network Security had been one of my elective papers at college. Hence the prerequisite knowledge necessary for knowing what the Digital Fortress is all about was already with me. The art of deciphering codes, Cipher processing giants like TRANSLTR, cyber laws, virus filters such as GAUNTLET, kill codes, Anagrams, Backdoors, Rotating Text Patterns, Brute Force Attacks and so much more jargon that could make cryptography, an interesting subject for the readers even if he does plumbing, for a living.             

 The Stratagems employed by the Crypto personnel in breaking codes, bypassing filters, tracing e-mails and the virtual existence of the Paramount peacemaker NSA were all just spot on and beyond question. The operative actions taken during the last minute in order to protect the firewall shields from malicious sources were just phenomenal. Dan brown strikes the right chord again!A perfect read for intellectual techies.Digital Fortress------------------UNBREAKABLE!

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis  Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined.

This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...

ALL FOR NOTHING

  A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course.  Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told.  But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...
