Creative Zen Few Months Later…

An Update:

You might have known(hopefully) that I have bought Creative Zen just few months back and here I am now to give an update on it. In this post I will tell you how well it works, the sound quality, problems and issues, usefulness.

Creative Zen looks perfect even after 2 months, no problems of color-greying, no problems with buttons. The size of the image is very suitable to watch movies and videos for a long time continuously.  The matte finish at the back is a useful thing because it keeps you away from slipping your Zen player. Overall, I still believe that Zen is a very attractive player.

Performance:After using it for few months, I can say that it works without any problems and smoothly. Sound quality is very good, Bass is good when enabled. Videos play very well, and it would be a treat to watch a movie on your Zen player.

Good Points:

1. Never did I experience any problem while watching a movie. The movie watching experience is very good. I’ve watched many movies for hours and enjoyed the experience. Just now, I have seen Hot Fuzz, and the movie played gorgeously.

2. The Sound Quality is awesome, really very good. At the volume of 20-21 you will have high noise that you won’t require to increase any more volume. Actually 17 volume is loud enough.

3. Photos look good. There is also a recording feature which works fine, I have already recorded few things and they sound very good.

4. Realiability is good, Interface is good. The player is very reliable, it plays everything fine, never did crash in middle of something, is fast to respond, and if at all any problems occur one can always reset it. Once I used a faulty USB cable and my player didn’t turn on, so I’ve reset and it was fine and working again.

Problems:

1. The Radio reception is average. After few months of usage, I can say that Radio reception is noisy for some stations. This maybe because my house is an apartment where Radio Signals do not get received properly.

2. The Earphones given are not good at all. The earphones do not produce good quality sound and bass. You need a new pair of earphones. My iPod earphones work very well.

3. For EQ settings in the middle of a song, you need to go all the way to main menu and from there you need to go to system–>audio settings–>EQ to change the EQ settings.

Final Verdict after few months of usage: 4/5, a very good player.

some of the pics for you guys:

Audio Interface

I put a plastic tape around my screen to protect it, hence my player might look not so good, but in reality the Zen looks very good.

Sorry for the bad image quality guys, the pictures were taken using my Webcam.

I’m signing off

Cheers

Auto Show 2009

Recently I have been to Auto Show being organized in the city of Hyderabad. Although I agree that I am by no means a Car Enthusiast(or freak). I don’t even have much idea about the car models and their features, about which so many of my friends talk for hours and hours leaving me a mute spectator. Of course, I have favorite cars, I like Mini Cooper, while many of friends scoop out weird car names and models which I virtually have no idea about. Some say Lamborghini Gallardo(spells right?), some others say Murcielago, some others say more wierd names which sound like a curse word.

So, considering my reputation of a car know-nothing person, I had no intention of attending this goddamn show. But one of my friends had come to my house and with his power of persuasion made me agree to attend the show.The show took place at Madhapur, in a place called Hitex. Once we reached Hitex, we were escorted in a Bus to the building where this Auto show took place.

The room where the show was put up was very vast, it was like a mini stadium, it was centrally air conditioned(thank God!). The minute I entered the room, its ambience took me by surprise and I was enjoying myself. There were many stall of various car manufacturers with few of their models on showcase. One of the first stalls we were attracted to was Mercedes, although there was a barrier which prevented us from going and touching those Mercedes cars, we were yet thrilled to see the cars which looked alienish(new word invented by me) and perfect.

Before I talk anymore, let me show the pics:

Mercedes

Another Mercedes

yours truly

Vintage Beauty

The Land Cruiser, the king of the Jungle.

Age Old Wonder

BMW

There were many other stalls, Audi, Nissan, Toyota, Maruti, etc etc. But including all those photos would make this blogpost very lengthy, so I didn’t include those photos. If anyone is interested in those photos you can contact me and I will upload them later.

The show was very good, right there at the top considering that it is the first Auto show in the city of Hyderabad. I enjoyed exploring the cars and analyzing their design, features etc. I had one complain though, the food was pretty damn costly, with a small sandwich costing 70 Rs! And they won’t even allow outside food. Everything else is good and worth the money.

I spent nearly two and half hours there, and the experience was good.

The Invention of Lying

Hello

I am an addict, not a drug addict to rouse your suspicions, I am an Internet addict. The term “Internet addict” is bad enough to qualify me for the most irresponsible person of the year award. But what to do? I have few others things to do besides sitting in front of a computer and force my fingers to press the keyboard. What do I do when I spend my time on computer? I browse through different favorite websites.

You might ask me which website I visit the most. The answer to this question is IMDB(Internet Movie Database). As I have always proclaimed, I am the no 1 movie freak in the whole world(just kidding). But, I like to read about movies, actors, reviews, trivia, goofs etc and IMDB provides me with all I need and more. Especially I like reading Biographies of Movie Artists and their Trivia. You might actually find them very very funny and interesting.

You people might be shouting at me or cursing me for writing the rubbish in above two paragraphs, but believe me every post needs an introduction. Now coming to the title of the post. Invention of Lying? You might think that the title is pathetically meaningless. But, you might change your opinion after reading the below lines.

Invention of Lying is a movie which I came across in IMDB. It’s not yet released. The story of the movie is:

“A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain”

I felt that the concept of this movie is very innovative and thought provoking. The movie must be fun. We all lie and we lie again by saying that we have not lied. And this cycle of lie has repeated so many times and will repeat again, only we can change it with a truth. Don’t fear to say truth, even if the truth is that you are the biggest sucker in the whole world or a cousin of the Superman who wears underpants over trousers and roams in the night looking for retards.

Anyways

Cheers

p.s: Excuse me for showing some signs of rude language. You know, I was made like that.

Super Duper Hero

Hello,

This blog post has no purpose. It is written for the sake of writing and not for the sake of putting something into your mind. Wait a minute, ah! Actually I have got a purpose now. This purpose is going to tickle you pink. Few days ago I was browsing through this cyber galaxy and came across a video. This video racked my brains but I also had a big laugh, for this video is one of the most funny things I have ever seen. So go ahead and watch it.

In this video Captain Vijayakanth, the premium Superstar of south Indian cinema performs as usual great feats which are  impossible to normal human beings and he performs it with panache. Who says Matrix is not possible to make on a cheap budget? Who says human beings have any physical limitations? Captain Vijaykanth with his nerve cracking stunts is going to prove everyone wrong…

The Kite Runner

Hello,

There has been a pause in my blog for some time now. The pause is not intended, but circumstantial. After many days I am here again to write something rubbish and pose it off as a masterpiece.  Actually, I write when I get something to write, and this time I’ve got one thing to write, one film actually–Kite Runner.

I have had an oppurtunity to read “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini, but did not utilize it as the book seemed outside my zone of interest. Few days ago, I was browsing through the TV, and there was this film showing “The Kite Runner”, and the film appealed to me visually and thematically so much that I started watching it. The movie is about a boy, rather you can say its about two boys from Afghanistan. Amir and Hassan are two friends, very good friends at that. As children they were great buddies, who used to spend their time learning stories, watching movies and flying kites. Amir is a rich boy with not-so-daring kind of attitude, he gives up easily and is defended by Hassan. Hassan works in Amir’s house along with his father. Hassan is a person who never gives up, standing up for what he believes is right. Amir starts to avoid Hassan after some time because of some reasons  and hatches a plan to send him away from his home. And Hassan’s father not bearing the insult of Amir goes away from the house with his family.

Then there is this war in Afghanistan when Soviets tear apart the land with their visible tyranny. Amir then is transported to US by his father, there he lives happily, marries and then one day he receives a call from Pakistan. The caller asks him to come visit his dad’s friend in Pakistan whose health was declining. He goes to Pakistan only to find out from his father’s friend that Hassan is killed and left him a letter. The letter  of Hassan asks Amir for a better future for his(Hassan’s) son. Then Amir travels to the Talibanised Afghanistan to get the boy and adventure ensues. And for  the rest of the story you should watch on the screen or read the book.

The movie is very deep. The characters are very rich in dimensions and look very believable. The cinematography is awesome. There was never a moment I felt like turning my eyes away from the screen.

P.S: I have changed my opinion about this book, I now have much respect for the book and Khaled Hosseini as its author.

Results Declared. All Clear.

Hi Pals,

Yeah I have got the results of my Final year, so what? I cleared all my subjects and got pretty good marks too. Although, I am that sort of person who thinks that marks does not matter nor even concept, what matters is whether we have passed or not, so that we can go on doing what we like doing –Nothing.I know, its a big drag to even write this blog post, but I have lots of free time and I thought maybe I should write something because I have nothing better to do.

In this Blog post, I would like to reveal about the Entire Education  system in general and Engineering in particular. I know its an uncool thing to do, some might even call me “nerd”, but you have to understand that I have been involved with this education system and “JNTU” particularly for 4 years now and now its time to talk about this f#cki… Freaking JNTU.

First of all I don’t know where to start from. Ok, lets start with the education system in India. Education system in India is like a Circus, you pay the money or you give bribes and teachers will entertain you like buffoons. School education is a tad better than Higher Education. In Higher education things become compliacted because usually teachers(or lecturers) act like they know everything but in reality they know nothing, copying points from text book and teaching the same thing again in the class. When you ask them doubts they become furious and complain that we weren’t attentive in class enough. And when you give them Give-me-a-break-you-don’t-know-anything-sucker kind of looks they ask us to meet afterwards in staff room to clarify the doubts. The syllabus is usually crammed with many topics without any relevance to the understanding level of a student. For example, Engineering 3rd year CSE has a topic which is usually studied in PG or in even further education. What can we conclude from this? Education system wants everyone to be an Einstein, no play, no rest, just study and become a retarded mental scientist.

Now, let’s talk about JNTU. The most dumb thing in the world would be JNTU and even dumber thing would be to predict marks in a JNTU exam. JNTU exam evaluation is bigger and more thrilling than Sikkim Bumper Lottery, not even James Bond would break the code which JNTU evaluators follow. People who come out of the exam hall disappointed and with a crying face usually shine in the exams and outdo students who have spent ages preparing for exams. Sometimes, the most unexpected person becomes a topper, and a state ranker could linger somewhere at the bottom of the class ranks. People who were doubtful of passing the exams have many times been given a passing gift from JNTU and people who were confident of passing the exam have received a call to supplemetary.

Would you believe me when I say that JNTU has changed many people in my class drastically? It has literally made people maniacs. Some people who studied well in the first year had lost hope on exams and developed into strange characters. While, some punks who would never study were so shocked initially to get good marks that they have developed deep love for studying and now plan to write a book “How to prepare for JNTU exams”. It has made me personally Lazy, indifferent and somewhat cautious. I would like to say to JNTU “You guys at JNTU are worse than a monkey snatching an icecream from a small child.”

I have more to write on the atrocities of JNTU, but I have written enough.

All’s Well That Ends Well.

Cheers

Worst Five Movies I’ve Watched- By Me

You might have watched a movie and exclaimed “Wow! What a movie!”, then think about it for a few days and mark it on your favorite movie list. When someone asks you “What movie would you recommend me?”, then you would give movies from your favorite list.

But, sometimes you might watch a movie and during watching it you could feel like jumping out from the balcony and scream “What the F##k!”. I have seen those kind of movies and I am sure you have too. I will give my “Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Seen”…..

 

5th Place: Takkari Donga

Not Quite Mosagallaku Mosagadu

 

This movie made it to the list for its sheer purposelessness. Wow “Purposelessness”, a big word, but the word spells true when it comes to this movie. This movie had no aim, it seems it was made for nothing. Visually, this movie is good, the music is good, the actress is beautiful too, then what might be the problem? The movie itself is the biggest problem. Watching the whole movie in one stretch is very difficult to say the least. It’s made  as boring as it can be, and it might achieve Guiness World Record for this achievement.

Plot: Raja (Mahesh Babu) is a small-time outlaw, whose daring antics land him the accidental job of designated bodyguard to Bhuvana (Lisa Ray). Bhuvana is being chased by an gang led by Shaka (Rahul Dey), who are after a map leading to a hidden diamond mine. Nicely shot, otherwise standard action fare – and interesting experience for anyone who’s never heard that India once had a wild wild west. More likely though that fans of Bipasha Basu and Lisa Ray will be thrilled at this film, where they more than fulfill their roles as showpieces

Analysis: This movie can bore anyone to death. 

 

4th Place:Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage

Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage

Hrithik Roshan is a very good actor and most of us would agree that, but his choice of films was totally insane until Koi Mil Gaya. Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage is an epitome of bad choice of film. There is nothing but to say about this movie, it is a love story between a boy and girl and the girls family is against it. It was a disaster no-movie.

I am a big fan of Hrithik Roshan and I could not bear watch an actor of such a calibre to act in this piece of s#it. But thank God, Hrithik is doing great films these days.

Analysis: A confused movie.

 

3rd Place: Jaani Dushman

 

Our Jaani Dushman?

I don’t know who got this brilliant idea, but it sucked really big time. The movie was a Multistarrer. When cast like Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Amrish Puri etc work in a film then what can we expect but a blockbuster? I don’t know how Akshay Kumar accepted this movie, maybe he was out of his minds, or maybe he wanted to quit Film Industry, whatever might be the reason, this movie definitely was the most ridiculous piece of crap that anyone can ever think of, act in or even see.

Sonu Nigam acted like a mental-patient-cum-aspiring-actor,  his expressions were wrong, his acting was unoriginal, and his screen presence unbearable. How on the hell did this fellow think he could act?

Plot of Jaani Dushman: Diyva and Karan Saxena are in love and plan to marry, after Karan goes to London for some business opportunity. Karan has a younger step-brother, Vivek Saxena who he looks after him as though he were his own brother. Divya and Vivek hang out with quite a few young people of their own age, Atul, Vijay, Prem,Ashok, Nita, Rashmi, Niki, and Priti, just to name a few. Two male members try to sexually molest Divya, and get a sound thrashing from Karan. After apologizing, these two members decide to avenge their beating and humiliation. After entrapping Divya, they sexually molest her to such an extent that Divya attempts to kill herself. Unknown to Divya, she was the lover of Kapil a snake with magical powers, in a previous life. Their love life was shattered by an angry sage who cursed them with separation until the 21st century. Divya, who was called Vasundhara in her previous life, dies after this curse, and is reborn as Divya. Now seeing Divya dying, Kapil swears to avenge her death by killing them one by one. Divya does die, but her spirit has survived and joins Kapil to avenge her humiliation and death, not against the two members, but against all the male members. Soon death visits the friends one by one, and no one can stop the killing. Until one fine day Karan returns from London only to find that Divya is no more alive and that his brother is wanted by Divya and Kapil in connection with Divya’s murder but Karan assure to everyone that anyone who touches his brother will not remain alive. And that he will die but keep up his promise.

Analysis: If you want to spend your evening in bad mood then this movie is for you! 

2nd Place: Palanati Brahmanaidu

Palanati Brahmanaidu

What can I say about this movie? My mind fills with regret and despair thinking of this movie. The story is just an excuse to showcase the magical tendencies that Balakrishna possesses, moving trains, furniture and much more just by chanting a small mantra.Don’t ask me how these supernatural stuff came into a movie meant to be modern realistic film. The songs add to the class of the movie. Filled with heavy dialogs and brainwashing action, this movie is a masterpiece for retarded people of all age. 

Plot

SSS Bhavani Prasad (Bala Krishna) lives in Karampudi. Sruthi, a girl who is going to get engaged to an NRI (Pruthvi), falls in love with Bhavani Prasad. When their marriage is about to happen, a lady called Siva Nageswari (Sonali Bendre) enter the premises of hall and shoots at Bhavani Prasad.

The rest of the story is all about why Siva Nageswari shoots Bhavani Prasad and the consequences that follow. This movie then turns into epic-action-romantic-thriller of sorts and rest is history.

Analysis: Words cannot describe the emotions one goes through after watching this movie. Symptoms may range from short term memory loss to permanent madness. Believe me, I want to write more about this movie, but I just cannot dare to…

 

NOW, IT’S TIME FOR THE #1 WORST MOVIE

1st Place: MAHARADHI

On 01 Feb 2007 there occurred an incident which changed the lives of many people for ever, and never again would the life of a cinegoer be the same again, this incident was the release of the movie “Maharadhi”. Audience in theatre trembled with fear, smashed their heads on the ground and fainted. All over Andhra Pradesh never was this spectacle observed before. Unfortunately, I watched this movie within a week of its release, and I came out of theatre blank headed and losing all sense of taste. Beware friends! This movie is highly injurious to health. 

The movie looks as if made by a 3rd grader, maybe 3rd grader would make a better movie if the comittment is good. Coming from the director of movies like Basha etc, this movie seemed like a worthy movie to watch, but I was proved wrong the moment the movie started. Nothing, believe me, absolutely nothing is good in this movie and I can swear it. The acting was disastrous to say the least. Balakrishna’s acting was a nightmare. Balakrishna’s character had two shades in this movie, while in the first half he is a music teacher and in second half he is an unemployed egoistic street fighter. The expressions, the look etc of these characters is dismal. We actually feel disgust watching the way Balakrishna portrayed the role of music teacher and street fighter.  In a scene where there is a transition from one character to another, Balakrishna overacts and makes this scene a mockery. nuff said…

Plot:

Balu (Balakrishna) is a singer working in the college owned by Chaudhuri (Naresh). He acts as if he is very dedicated to Chaudhuri but joins a competing college run by Jayaprada. There he works as a dance coach with another identity: Kishna. Chaudhuri’s daughter (Meera Jasmine) returns home after finishing her education. Jayaprada wants to beat Chaudhui’s college in competition. Jayaprada asks Krishna to get Meera Jasmine to learn dance in her college. Krishna, who is also Balu, plays a love game. He seduces Meera Jasmine as Krishna with his charm and as Balu he prompts Meera to love Krishna.

Things become so intense that finally Chaudhury comes to know about his daughter’s love affair. He is incensed that his daughter has fallen in love with his rival’s dance master. But Meera Jasmine is firm in her love. So the hapless father goes to meet his rival Jayaprada. 

Then surprise and a small flashback # 1: Naresh and Jayapada were husband and wife once. To protect their daughter’s interest they both confront dance master Krishna. Surprise # 2: Krishna who is also Balu has done all this purposely. The reason: flashback # 2 that forms the entire second half of the movie.

Analysis: If you ever want to torture someone then there can be no better way than showing them Maharadhi. This is the most stupidest movie with the most idiotic performances ever…

So these were my top 5 worst movies. 

Cheers

 

Creative Zen Review

 

Hi Pals, I have had a taste for movies than for music for some time now. And I enjoy watching movies, videos more on the go. So when I had the opportunity to buy something, the first thing that cropped up in my mind was a PMP: Portable Media Player. After much investigation I finally bought Creative Zen. And now, before you all I would like to share my experiences with this device. 

Creative Zen, is a Portable Media Player from the leaders in digital entertainment Creative. The player is typically a credit card size, and weighs very less. It has a 2.5 inch screen capable of producing 16.7 million colors at 320 x 240 resolution.There are panel of buttons on the right side of the player, and these buttons are comfortable to work with. The player has audio port, USB port, ON/OFF button on the side. It also has a SD card slot for including SD cards. On the whole the player looks solid, with classy looks. It is available in Black color, and even a Pink variant is available.

I have to say that the player looks more beautiful in real than in pictures. So I would give high points for design and look. Ofcourse, the packaging is bad, it comes in a cardboard box, inside the cardboard box there is a plastic packaging in which Zen is present. I really expected a device of such credentials to come in a nicer package. But who the heck cares about packaging? So let’s move on. We get a pair of headphones(these are not nice), a USB wire for charging, some manuals. We need to buy extra accessories for Zen to protect the screen from scratches. 

Now coming to the features of Zen. There are so many features that you feel very proud to own a Zen. There is Music, Video, Photos, Radio, Contacts Manager, and much more. The most interesting feature is SD card exapansion which adds new dimension to the player. But the contents of SD card cannot be integrated into playlists. Overall, Zen scored 10/10 when it comes to features. 

The quality of Music is really good. But the headphones given are bad, so you need to buy new headphones. I am currently using my iPod headphones. The video is stunning. The screen is really the greatest advantage of Zen, 2.5 inch screen looks and produces gorgeous. We can adjust brightness of the screen. Photos look great on the screen. However there is this problem with Radio reception, Radio reception is average and sometimes we cannot receive the stations properly. But, leaving Radio aside, everything is top notch and a perfect feast for all audiophiles. 

 We get one year warranty. I had read that there were some hang up problems with Zen, and after using the device myself, I can proclaim that it works very well, and until now it has not even showed slightest hint of a problem.

I have enjoyed much with my Zen and I am very satisfied with the device. I would recommend it to everyone who want great device at good price. It is presently being sold for 5200 rs.

Another iPod Won.

Hello Friends(I assume that millions are reading my blog)

Today I am very happy to announce that I have won another iPod. I have won this in Nivea Silver Protect challenge. One day my friends commented(after winning the first iPod) that I am earning sitting at home, so I took their words seriously and gave it a thought, and decided to try my luck on online contests and stuff. So I started working out in computer, trying various contests and earnestly hoping that I can once again win something and proclaim to my dad that I am not “wasting” my time on net.  Luckily, I was taken to the Nivea contest(by fate) and by fate again have won this iPod.

Initially I had thought that this time it might be iPod Nano. And I was especially enthralled with myself, and believed that I had bewitched the whole of Internet community to give me prizes of worth. But later I got an email saying that what I won was actually an iPod Shuffle, although disappointed initially, I was cheerful and myself again after sometime. Isn’t it a good thing to win an iPod shuffle for just playing some game and completing it?

As a quote by a certain anonymous goes “It is all about winning”. I have won and oh god I am glad I did! And I express my greatest gratitude and love to the Nivea India group and take an oath that I would certainly use Nivea. I am now waiting for my iPod to reach me and I believe the gift would take 3-5 days to reach me.

Friends, by reading my rubbish blog with some what boring topics you might have developed an opinion of me that I am very greedy person. Although I can’t deny that it is completely wrong, still I ask you not to spend your time trying to earn free money. I only play these contests because I have no other thing to do as I have my holidays. You might do well to remember that this is just for fun and I have no intention of making this my livelihood. 

 

come on babies, come to Papa!

 I would have liked to end this post abruptly as I don’t feel like writing more than what I have written. I would like to add few more sentences to make this blog post look big(so others might assume that I have great knowledge of English which I naturally do not have). I am thinking of buying a Portable Video player, and mostly inclined on buying Creative Zen( See the pic below).

 

Rated 3rd best Flash based PVP by PC World

So Guys I’m signing off.

Cheers.

The Anime Connection

Few days ago I had a notion that cartoons are good but they can never compete with mainstream cinema. Well, I changed my notion a few days later. I had seen cartoons(oh gosh! Sorry they are animes) like Beyblade, Pokemon etc. While Pokemon was a big yawn, Beyblade did capture my imagination. Soon I’ve become a big fan of Beyblade and was watching it on T.V. regularly. Beyblade was really fun and engaging. In Beyblade I liked the characters of Kai and Tyson much. These characters were really likeable. But  after sometime Beyblade series ended and my interest in Japanese Anime also faded with it.

 

Beyblade Anime

I had watched another anime called “Dragonballz” sometimes, although it was good, sometimes I was frustated with it. I was frustated because during any fight scene the good guys and bad guys spent most of the time talking(or yelling)  to each other rather than fighting. But later I discovered that Dragonballz was really was a good anime, with great fight scenes except the problem with it I stated above. Actually, Dragonballz was/is an international blockbuster series of anime that has become a cult of sorts. It’s a legend now.

The Legendary Dragonball Characters

My brother was watching a cartoon called as “Naruto” on the cartoon network. Few days I ignored it, but later was keen on knowing who really was the main character of the series.  I saw a character in it who had black hair and was really cool, and thought that he must be the main character, the chatacter “Naruto”. But  to my dismay I found that he wasn’t Naruto, Naruto was a Blonde haired loser(at least he seemed to me like that at first) always yelling unreasonable words. After seeing the main character I thought that this anime series was no good and decided not to watch it. Later while I was watching T.V., my other brother kept the “Naruto” anime and I was forced to watch it. I enjoyed that episode so much that I could not believe that this anime was so good, and so decided to watch it. 

 

Naruto Anime

My friend said that he had episodes of Naruto, so I bought the episodes from him. I watched few episodes, and I was soon watching it from morning till evening continuously, this anime was too addicting man(so very good). I finished 180+ episodes within few days. The character “Naruto” was too good, and I became a big fan of that character. He was really the coolest character that I ever saw. He was funny, courageous, and would never give up. You will too like him very much if you watch the anime.

 

Naruto Uzumaki, The Hyperactive Knuckle headed Ninja.

The Fights, the music, action, story, characters etc were so extraordinary. By the time the season 1 of Naruto was ending I was convinced that Anime can really be as good as movies(or maybe better). Thereafter, I watched some more animes like Fullmetal Alchemist, One piece etc. Be sure to check out animes, Naruto is a special recommendation, but beware you might get addicted to them.

 

Hi, I am Naruto.

See you people.

Cheers.
