QR CODES-----THEY MEAN A LOT-----




I came across these QR codes for the first time while reading a pc suite magazine 4-5 months.
And I was like “
What are these ugly-dotted-weird-squared pictures?
The whole magazine was full of those....and it was saying...”For more links and videos Scan the above QR code”
Then I asked one of my friends that had he ever saw these type of pictures before??..and he said..”Yeah..these are bar-code kind of things that are used by smart phone and IPAD users...”
As I didnt had a smart phone and nor did I own an IPAD....I considered it trivial.

But soon I started noticing these QR codes in a lot of things....Newspapers(TOI),Movie Posters,Under Advertisements and many more...So I started surfing Internet and found that “These QR codes means a lot”---

A Brief History.....

Denso Wave (Member of Toyota) created the Quick Response Code(QR code) back in 1994 to track parts in vehicle manufacturing. Unlike other 2D symbologies,these QR code didn't require a license for there use,which helps in its popularity.
QR code was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. Japan is currently the largest user of QR codes with UK and USA heading in the same direction. 

How They Work???....

The three prominent boxes in the corners of each code indicate the location of the image (So it can be centered by the image parser).Another smaller box in the lower-right aligns the Image. The rest of the blocks indicate the information specific to the international standards (which were approved in 2000) and finally the identifying data contained within the code.










What can they do??.....

QR Codes can have a lot of different types of Data..Here I have listed some of them for your understanding----

1.URLs.....You can embed any URL like http://www.google.com in these QR code..so that anyone can Scan them and can goto that particular URL.

2.Mails....You can embed your email Address in these Codes...like--mail to:amit.kumar.agarwal16@gmail.com..

3.Text and sms...You can embed some Messages or Advertisements into the QR....Which is being used now-a-days in a  lot of Ads and Campaigns..

How to create one of your own?????...

After having so much information about these weird patches.....you must be curious...How could you create one of your own???...

Believe me its damn easy...

1.First go to the website http://qrcode.kaywa.com/....kaywa is a QR generator....There are also a no. of other QR generators like Semapedia and Winksite...I prefer kaywa as it is simple and kool...

2.After it ,Select what information you want to embed in your QR.......URL,Text,Phone no.,SMS....
Enter the data and decide the size(L is the Standard)...

Click Generate and thats all...You have your own QR CODE,,,,,,,











Here I have created one for my blog.....its really amazing.......

HOW TO READ THE QR CODES ???


Now you must be asking yourself...whats the use of creating this??.....How my friends will able to read it and get the information....

Well you are going to need a QR READER......those sites which are providing those QR generators are also providing the Readers....
If you have an android phone or any smart phoone....Just go on to your Phone Browser and log on to:::

You will have your Reader up and running...(Only Smartphones and Devices Has this Option).

BEST TEACHERS IN OUR MOVIES....(Teachers' Day Special)


A Teacher..the word itself comes with respect and honor...

A Teacher is a person who turns our “I CANT”s into “I CAN”s....

One can find a teacher in any form in your mother,your father,your elder brother, neighbour,your school and college professor and many more....

Today is Teachers' Day....So,I thought It would be a great Idea to write something about our Teachers,who always been an Important part of our life,as a tribute for their love and support but in my own Style.

Therefore...Here I have listed down some of the Best Teachers from our Movies (Each Showing One Aspect of a TEACHER) ....who always reminds us our favourite teacher and his lessons..

#5.Raj Aryan in Mohabbatein.....(LOVE)

Played by Shahrukh Khan...This teacher teaches us about love.
He wants us to see the beautiful world outside our books. He tells
us to follow our heart and to do what it says.
I know its very difficult to get a teacher who plays violin and tells
love stories all the time..
But he got his own charms.


#4. Santosh Duggal in Do Dooni Chaar...(HONESTY)  

Played by Rishi Kapoor.....This Character shows us the honesty
and Self control in a teacher's Life.
It shows us how a middle class school teacher balances his life
without corrupting his noble profession.
Moreover it shows us 'The Importance of being a TEACHER' .


#3. Kabir Khan in Chak De India...(PERFECTION)


Played by Shahrukh Khan...This Character shows us the perfection
in a teacher...and to the extent that he can go to bring about that perfection
in his students.
It shows how much a teacher give importance to his pride and
self-respect.


#2. Debraj Sahai in Black...(PERSISTANCE)

Played by Amitabh Bachchan....This Character shows us that
a teacher never ever gives up on his students.

It tells that no matter what it takes he fights till end for making his
students proud of themselves.




#1. Nikumbh Sir in Taare Zameen Par...(UNDERSTANDING)

Played by Aamir Khan...This Character shows how much better a
teacher understands his students. He is right there when you need him.
A teacher truly understands what his students want.
He loves him,care for him and led to his path of success.
This topped my list because he reminds me of my own teachers
who always got my back when I am about to fall.


With this I am concluding my today's post.
This post is all about our Teachers and the love and support, they bring into our life.
Hope you all like it......Thank you.

Please do mention your favourite teacher or share anything about him or our Teachers.

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY......

TEN BEST THEME MUSIC IN MOVIES..!!!!!


A Theme Music or we say it as a background score shines throughout the movie and leaves us forever warmed by its afterglow. So here I want to put before you some of the greatest and the most beautiful theme music that I strongly feels are the most deserving....


#1.The Latika's Theme from the movie Slumdog Millionaire

Composed by our very own the mozart of Madras, Multiple Oscar Winner A.R Rahman....This Theme
Topped my list as it has the ability to move you from the time you start listening to it.
So if you want to give a sad feeling to any of ur video just Add this at the END.



#2.The Famous Harry Potter Theme....

It needs no introduction,,Every time you watch a Harry Potter Movie or even think about it...this tune will come in to your mind.From the first till now each time I hear it....That Mystery kind of feeling gives me goosebumps.


#3.The Udaan Music...


Its a masterpiece by Amit Trivedi.It is more of an inspirational type.This 3 min Piano piece by Felix Hug is Soft, Haunting and is completely different from all Bollywood
themes.If you haven't listen to it...#Strongly Recommended#


#4.The Titanic


Its here by “popular demand”...
No theme list can be completed without this. Composed by tweleve times Academy Award nominated James Horner. It remains as the highest grossing movie soundtrack ever made.
Music like this are made only once....its Eternal.


#5. Veer-Zaara Separation Tune


I just love this movie and its music more than that.
The music is based on old and untouched compositions by the
late Madan Mohan. Life of the movie "Veer-Zaara" is the music in it.It makes you happy,sad and romantic the same time.




#6. Pan's Labyrinth..Theme

Whole Music of the movie is structured around a lullaby and believe me I found it to be the best lullaby ever.Its peaceful and deep.Its a very well made Spanish
film with this music as its soul.It is composed by 



#7.Kal Ho Naa Ho.. SoundTrack

Its another SRK flick. The Music of Kal Ho Naa Ho very well depicts Happiness,Hope,Change And Love.Its all about the Short life of a very happy Man who changes the life of other persons around him.
Composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy,which won them a National Award for it.
The Heart-bit in the End was a Delight.



#8. Pirates of the Caribbean (Series)...Theme

The Movies and Music is all about the most famous Pirate in the World....Capt. Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp). The Theme music of this franchise beautifully captures the
witty and mischievous nature of Sparrow. It is a Contemporary and Pirate Rock-n Rolla Mix.
Fun as well as Intense..




#9. Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa(Will you Cross the skies and come?)

A. R. Rahman again....
I dont know how many of you are acquainted with this 
Telugu movie but this one is my favourite south movie.
And the reason behind this is its electrifying music.I got each and every song of this movie in my playlist.
'Hossana' is the best.


#10.The Classic-Korean Movie


The Classic is what I call is a music Delight. This movie relies heavily on its theme music for expression of emotions. The Song..”I am yours,
you are mine” is played throughout the movie with different instrumental versions.
Its what I call is “Poetic”.


With this I am Concluding this post.I tried my best to present before you the best theme music in the movies that I find soulful.I tried my level best to add versatility in it.
