Paying in peanuts

Many employers pay their employees only peanuts for the work they do. This leads to the good employees job hoping to other companies which pay more. Unless the employer raises the pay package, he would not be able to attract capable people for his job.

This is proof of the saying, "if you pay peanuts, you will only get monkeys to work for you."

Review: The Martian - Book and movie

Martian is a thrilling Sci-Fi movie released in the year 2015. The book titled 'the martian' is by Andy Weir and the movie with the same title is directed by Ridley Scott. The movie lacked the feel of the book as common with most of the movies based on best selling novels. Of course there are some exceptions.

The book really gives the reader a feel that the astronaut is left in mars and by his own, while the movie portrays it as just a short adventure trip. Some of the sections in the book really stress this part where the astronaut looks into the wilderness and realises that he is the only person in a huge planet. Also there are plenty of emotional stuff when he records in his journal to who ever finds the recording that, they should let his parents know that he really struggled to get back to them and didn't give up easy.

Many of the scenes were quite different with the book having more believable adventures like loosing the only communication link with earth as a consequence of a short circuit during welding compared to the space jump attempted in the movie towards the climax. Many of the other adventures in the book are omitted as the movie had to be compressed to 120 minutes.

For those people who are yet to capture the action, I recommend to read the book first, built your imagination and then watch the book. This is the same logic for all book turned movies. This will truly help to  realise that your  imaginations are a degree better and good to feel that the silver screen's.

I am the brand, not what I wear

Many of times we end up buying highly priced materials just because they are branded. A coffee is just 10 rupees in most dining places, but we are willing to offer 60 rupees for it at Cafe Coffee day or Starbucks just because they are branded. A coffee will do good for us if we decide to feel good with it. Just like that, a shirt will clothe us good even if it is not branded. Look at the product, if you find value for money on the product go ahead. Don't use all your money on the product just because u can afford it or just because you want to use that to brand yourself. Remember, you are the brand, not what you wear.
