A Leader Is

Bollywood Vs Hollywood

Difference between Bollywood and Hollywood

Entertainment is arguably deemed a necessary psychological need for humans. In the short on time lives of today, one hardly finds time for entertainment. However, Bollywood and Hollywood movies provide an ample scope for some much-craved for entertainment. There is not a vast difference between the movies of both these film industries.

Scale

Hollywood movies are made on a grand scale which includes movies made on multi-million dollar budgets. However the money spent on movies in Bollywood, although huge, stands nowhere in comparison to Hollywood. The huge disparity in the scale of Bollywood and Hollywood can be evident from the fact that the entire earnings of Bollywood in 2006 were just half of the money earned by one major Hollywood studio, Walt Disney. The length of movies is also dissimilar. In Bollywood, movies typically have a 3 hour length although things are not the same any more with the movie time trimmed down to 1 and ½ hours in the latest flicks. Hollywood movies are not more than a three hour duration but Titanic was an exception.

Story

Bollywood is known for a different genre of movies called musicals and melodramas. Hollywood genres are varied but rarely enter the musical genre. Bollywood movies appeal more to thesentimental side of human nature while Hollywood tickles at the adventurous human spirit. Although Hollywood can't be categorized into the science fiction genre only because romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, musicals like Grease and Moulin Rouge and sexy movies like American Pie are also popular in Hollywood.

The stories of Hollywood movies lack songs in general and the screenplay is quite taut. Bollywood draws heavily on songs with them making 20% of the narrative. But, Hollywood seems to be following the trend of including music heavily with movies in eliciting emotions to accompany the direction or in the re-emerging trend of movies like Moulin Rouge.

Earnings

Hollywood is an older film industry having originated prior to before World War 1. Bollywood has later origins of talking movies in 1930's although its first silent movie Raja Harishchandra was produced in 1910 only, three years after Hollywood's most initial shot by D.W. Griffithin 1907. Hollywood is technologically superior to Bollywood. Bollywood has not been able to create technological marvels like Avatar and Titanic. However, the underwater movie Blue can be cited as an exception. Movies in Hollywood also derive their incomes from TV networks, home videos and magazines apart from theatre earnings. Bollywood on the other hand depends largely on theatre revenues only. Bollywood is also credited with driving the major Indian music trends.

Summary

• Personal choice. Since Bollywood movies are being released abroad, more cultures have a chance to view them. Subtitles to ensure a greater audience understanding of dialogue and culture. However, if you are madly in love with the Bollywood song and dance routine, then such movies can woo you. It all depends on your choice. Hollywood movies are dubbed or subtitled as well.
• Stars. Some Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have become household names abroad too. One can have a glimpse of their acting skills when their movies are screened there. However, such stars have also started making appearances in Hollywood movies.Hollywood stars are known and loved world wide.
• Kind of audiences. Bollywood refrains from inclusion of steamy scenes in its movies, often excluding even kissing scenes. If kids are to be taken along to the screening, then clean Bollywood movies are a preferred choice. It also does not have exceptional nudity in its films which make them more coveted by family oriented audiences. Hollywood movie themes often include risqué themes and sexy or violent visual images if not made specifically for very young crowds.

Martial Arts - where did all started

The history of martial arts is a tricky subject. 

You could ask 10 different people from 10 different arts and get 10 different answers. You could also ask

10people from the same art and get 10 different answers. The truth is that we only have a general idea about

when Martial Arts began.

Here is a short look at the history of martial arts after we here at thefightgame. tv compared notes as to what

we have been taught and learned throughout the course of our studies in the arts. This is meant only as a

guideline. We can't guarantee  the accuracy of the information contained here in. It's just a compilation of

what we've been taught.

Definition

Martial arts  is another way saying the "art of combat" or "art of waging of war." In it's infancy, it was used as

a weapon to survive. Kill or be killed. Martial arts can be a set of movements used for offensive or defensive

purposes (called Kata's or forms). It can also be a set of movements used to promote health. It has structure

and every movement has meaning. Then again, the late Bruce Lee taught that one should take the best from

all arts and adapt them to whatever situation one finds oneself in.  By not having structure and preset

movements, one is not limited and confined. But as some have pointed out, therein lies the structure.  

Martial arts has evolved into everything from simple  to complex systems of fighting and health. For

example,  in Kung Fu, some mimic movements from the animal kingdom and adapt them to human fighting.

Other's, like in Tae Kwon Do, use focus techniques to build up "Chi" (Ones Life Force) and use it to generate

powerful strikes. While others, like in Tai-Chi, use it to promote health. The list goes on and on.

The truth of the matter is most martial arts are similar. They all teach similar principles (like the ones

mentioned above), just in different ways. It's like religion. Many different religions but they all have something

in common, they worship some form of deity. The one thing all martial arts have in common is that they

promote self-defense. Hence the reason martial arts is called  the "Art of self-defense" and it just depends on

your personality, your range of movement and your comfort level as to which martial art will work best for

you.

Furthermore, traditional martial arts, as we know them today, has it's roots in religion and philosophy.

Buddhism had a great impact in India and China which impacted Chinese martial arts. Taoism and Buddhism

in Japan led to Zen and all three impacted Japanese Martial Arts.  Moreover,  Chinese and Japanese

philosophers too had an impact  on martial arts. They strived to set a code of ethics and morals to live by.

The Japanese Samurai, for example, had the code of the Bushido.

The Beginning

So where did it all begin?

Well, we've heard martial arts started in China  way back in 1,300 - 1,000 B.C.  

We've also heard martial arts started in Greece with the Romans and wrestling somewhere near 40 B.C.

And yet, there are still others that believe that it started in India somewhere in the first or second century

B.C. and was brought over to China in or around 500 A.D.  

And we've heard it started in Europe around 750 B.C. and that wrestling was the first martial art known as

Pankration.

Still others believe it goes back even further to 2,500 B.C. to the Egyptians, as they had some form of hand

to hand combat.

More than likely, in some form, wrestling was the first martial art. When and where, who knows.

The closest  thing that historians can agree upon is when a martial art started in a particular country.

For example, from what we've been told, most historians believe Kung Fu started around 500 A.D. when a

man named Bodhidharma, who was said to be a monk from India, wandered the plains in search of

enlightenment. He wandered into China and came across a Shaolin Temple where he began to teach his

philosophy to the monks and some exercise skills.  It is there where  Kung Fu had it's beginnings. 

And F.Y.I., Kung Fu is more of a western term as it means "he who possesses skill or ability."  The Chinese

refer to martial arts as Wu Shu.

As you can tell, we here at thefightgame. tv have heard many explanations as to when it all began. All we

know is that we are extremely grateful it has survived and flourished in our times.

Evolution

Martial artists  have adapted that which was used to fight wars of yesteryear into a gift of physical and

mental conditioning for our  times. 

This art, that teaches the ultimate skills for  war, that has been handed down from generation to generation,

has also transformed its practitioners into some of the most mellow, well mannered individuals the world has

ever seen. From the day when a martial artist  was in a kill or be killed situation, it has grown into somewhat

of an oxymoron. That of a peaceful warrior.  He/she would rather walk away from a fight than be in one. 

The greatest victory one can achieve is that which you do not use your physical skills but that which you win

by using your mental skills.

If you are interested in learning more about martial arts history, go down to your local library and check out a

couple of book on the subject. You could also go down to your local martial arts studio and ask an Instructor

for their views. There are also many great documentaries  available on television and video you can view.

Don't be discourage if you come up with many different answers. That's half the fun. Somewhere within all the

theories probably lies the truth.

We here at thefightgame.tv like to think that martial arts started the very first time a human being took a

breathe on this earth. It is the thought of where the next meal will come from. It is the battle to achieve

shelter. It is the struggle to survive.

Martial arts is everywhere. 

We would like to leave you with a quote.  We hope you like it.

"Martial Arts is not about fighting.  It has evolved into an art. The Kung Fu is not the fighting that you are

learning. That is but a small aspect of the art. The Kung Fu is between you and me. The Communication,

The Respect, The Discipline to do that which is most difficult. Therein lies Kung Fu. Therein lies the Martial

Artist."

One Of the Best Singer In the

Birth: August 23rd Birthplace: Trichur, Kerala Profession: Playback Singer, Bollywood. Family: wife Jyoti and two children From the whimsical 'Awarapan Banjarapan' number in Jism to the frisky Ding Dong song in Kucch To Hai, Krishna Kumar Menon or KK (as he is popularly known) has proved he can bring a wide and diverse variety of moods and emotions into his vocals. After graduating from Kirori Mal College DU, KK dabbled with a few "normal" 9 to 5 jobs. He was quick to realise that this was not his "scene." It had to be singing or nothing. His soul was music. Soon, KK began participating in various forums where he could showcase his singing abilities. Be it Quiz Time of 1992 or the Ravi Bajaj fashion show.After a while, it dawned on him that to have a lucrative singing career one had to be in the thick of things--where the action is. That is how KK landed up to the place where the industry really moves--the city of Mumbai. The Mecca of advertising, Mumbai, opened up new vistas for KK. The ad fraternity did not lose time in recognising talent.Krishan Kumar Menon dearly called as Kay Kay was born on 23rd of August at Trichur , Kerala.He did his primary education in Mt Saint Mary , Delhi.Starting out early at school,he went on to win accolades at every annual event. Like any other kid of his generation, growing up meant being surrounded with sound of the times. Pink Floyd, Extreme, Sting, Billy Joel, Guns 'N' Roses, Deep Purple and Jethro Tull were some of his earliest influencers. At different stages, KK took to singing with different bands He was the lead vocalist for three different college bands. He sang Everything from “Everything I Do, I Do It For You ...”to Mr Big’s “Just Take My Heart”. And the rest is history. KK’s charisma worked with the music enthusiasts. However, the road to success has not been a smooth one for this Delhi-based singer who came to Mumbai a few years ago. He started singing on stage when I was two years old. Later, he was part of my college rock band in Delhi after which I started singing jingles.The first few years in Mumbai were frustrating as he drew a blank in all my attempts to break into the filmi circuit. Finally, he got a call to sing a one-minute jingle for Leslie Lewis for UTV which kickstarted his career. Till date KK has recorded in 8 Indian languages. Some of his wellknown and memorable jingles include Monte Carlo, Sunny Bajaj, Asian Paints, Coca Cola, Jumpin’, Yo Frooti, Colgate Gel, CloseUp, Cinthol, Amul Cheese , Pepsi ‘Yeh Dil Mange More’ and many more. And thats what he grew famous for prior to his national Indipop release. Once KK had established himself in the ad circuit, commercial films weren’t far behind. He got lucky breaks with stalwarts like A R Rahman, Gulzar and Shekar Kapur.KK has recorded some breathtaking tracks for films. Title tracks for a few TV serials like Just Mohabbat and Hip Hip Hurray have also been sung by him. KK's forte is pop and rock ballads and is known for his live performances. He genuinely feels that there is a lot of interactive energy that flows when the audience reacts to his music and singing--altogether another "high", so to say. He hopes to do many live concerts in the future with his four member band . His greatest dream of cutting his own album also came true with Pal. It was the result of many months of painstaking effort and studio time. The album was produced by Lezz, who also happens to be KK’s friend, philosopher and guide; and Mehboob penned the lyrics. All the tracks have been sung by KK. Pal is what KK is made of and what he firmly believes in. pal holds a very special place for KK as it was his first album. Released by Sony Music, the album was also the first Indian solo artist debut album from the company. The album was arranged, composed and produced by Lezz (Leslie Lewis) of Colonial Cousins. The lyrics have been written by Mehboob, who has also written lyrics for music directors like A R Rahman. KK is assisted by a band that comprise Karl Peters on bass, Kalyan Baruah on lead guitar and harmonica, Kurt Peters on drums and Rinku Rajput on keyboards. Today, KK is one of the hottest names in the ad world. He has sung over 3,500 jingles including Monte Carlo, TVS Scooty, Amul, Britannia and Pepsi’s Yeh Dil Maange More in a span of four years.Contrary to popular opinion, he finds singing jingles is a major challenge. KK’s dream to sing for a Bollywood movie materialised when Vishal Bharadwaj asked him to sing ' Chhod Aaye Hum Vo Galiyaan'Chod Aaye Hum' in Machis. But what catapulted him into the big league was the wildly popular 'tadap tadap' in HDDCS. “It was one of the biggest hits of my career. When I performed at shows in the US, I always chose this song for the grand finale and it never failed to bring the house down,” reveals this singer who has had no formal training in music. He claims he isn’t part of the jet-set-mustsee brigade ,No discos,no parties. KK loves to chill out in his cosy apartment at Yari Road with wife Jyoti and his two kids. “Jyoti is a pillar of strength and the sunshine factor in my life,” he says. Low-profile he certainly is. And down-to earth too. He still speaks in chaste Malayalam, remembers the sights and sounds of downtown Kerala and believes the best way to draw inspiration for emotions is to look at the poverty and people around us. It’s an attitude that’s certainly paying rich dividends on the work front. Shows, albums and of course, playback singing — it’s all happening for him.

YOGA FOR EYES

YOGA FOR VISION

Although there are many forms of yoga for the eyes, some basic exercises involve the use of fixed points within the field of vision. Sit with good posture including an erect spine. Hold the body relaxed and raise the eyes to a level position. Find a point directly ahead you can see without straining, then lower your eyes and find a comparable point near the floor. These are the points to which you will return as you:

• move your eyes up as far as you can without straining
• and return to the point directly in front of you
• repeating the maneuver four times
• followed by a series of blinks to relax the eyes

Following the same guidelines, bring your eyes down and back four times followed by repetitive, relaxing blinks. 

Repeat this pattern by finding points to your left and right that you may mark either by holding your fingers in the correct position or some straight object like two pencils. Always use four repetitions followed by a series of blinks. 

When you have completed these motions, pick points on the diagonal and move your eyes from the upper right to the lower left and then the upper left to the lower right with the same pattern of four followed by blinking.
