So now we also have the YouTube Video Awards! But I like the idea! The crowns are already given, but the process of voting for five days, seven winners were announced. The making of these movies are interesting stories in themselves. There are some professionally done, while some homemade! People actually took a lot of efforts making them (the comedy category winner is a 2m14sec video, shot on a beach over 4 days). And millions took great efforts in voting! Over to the winners than!

I was looking for a good podcast / video to use in our monthly review meetings. The topic was taking responsibility! Taking responsibility even for things that normally seem out of your control. Being at the source of your actions, and not being limited by the circumstances.
Our people do take responsibility for their actions, but we are facing problems in execution, when it comes to coordinating and integrating with a number of teams - and the clients. I had read about the circle of influence and the circle of concern in Stephen Covey’s 8th Habit, and was looking for some media that could make the whole thing interesting!
Found it via some Google & Yahoo! video searches! It’s a video by Young America, describing the story of Hank. How he performs in school, and how his being popular, but undependable, affects his career.
Ran it in the monthly review meetings today. And I think people liked it!

Alright, so Web 2.0 has been overused now, and you know about what it is. But there is a cool YouTube video that communicates it really well. Found it here, and like him, could not resist posting it up here.

Mayank and VaibhaV told me they saw me on TV. Two other friends too were like: “Hey dude, what were you doing on TV the other day? Taking Yana Gupta’s pictures?”
And I went like: “Oh! Are they still showing that?”
And if television channels were not enough, now even YouTube has it!
I do my guest appearnace at 1 minute 27 seconds in this YouTube video.
And here’s the story about it!
Ashok got passes to a filmy event - “Kambakth Piracy” more than two years ago. The show was organized to fight movie / music piracy, to collect funds for the cause. Me, Ashok, Vaishali, Sachin and two other friends went to the event. I took my camera along, hoping to photograph some stars! I did my bit! And we enjoyed the show.
They telecasted the event two three times in the next few days. People told me we saw you on TV, and you had a camera etc etc. And over time, I even forgot about the whole thing.
But then, last year someone told we saw you with camera on TV. And now people are saying they saw me again. What’s happening?
Video remix!
Looks like they are assembling pieces together from different shows. The video editors are picking up interesting footage from some other program and sticking it in in their program. I never went to the Indian Diva show, but the YouTube video is labeled that. Yana is wearing a red dress in the Indian Diva show, and in the event I attended, she was in pink.
Things happen! I hope they don’t fix me with my camera in some other program!
