Unsolved Mysteries

Have you ever caught yourself thinking that world is very small for even a single person to breathe properly... or it is too vast to explore even during multiple lifetimes? Have you ever wondered if such thing actually exists that is larger than our imagination?... It being so large that you could literally spend your entire life just to understand only a tiny its portion and yet you will be relieved if you're able to do so. However, in reality you will only put yourself in a more vulnerable situation if you actually try to seek that "knowledge". You'll feel as if you're trapped from everywhere and can't get out of its merciless clutch unless you know the entire truth.

Feeling that did you keep yourself busy fulfilling the tradition just like majority of the people do during their lifetime ignoring their existence. Maybe you've deliberately put them aside before even listening to what others have to say about them. If yes you can look at the situation in this way - without communication and looking back at history the wheel keeps being re-invented.

This time I've got a list of documentaries that you might find intriguing because of their mysticism. I'd recommend you to get some (all if possible) of the following documentaries from your local public library (or wherever available) and watch them in your leisure. Some of them are about the history of mankind. Others are about civilization, religion, culture, and the unique beliefs that are mysterious in several ways which couldn't be explained convincingly even by our modern science. You can analyze the viewpoints presented on these documentaries initiated by various school of thoughts. I personally feel that I always have the option and the freedom to believe in what I'd rather believe in especially when exposed to something that I'm not used to. But there's no harm in considering what others have to share either (especially if the message and intention is positive).

Music Videos Dedicated to Beautiful City, Kathmandu

The following video features photographs of different parts of the city. The background music is performed by one of the legendary Rock musicians - Bob Seger. The song is called "Kathmandu" which appeared in his album titled Beautiful Loser released in 1975.


"What To Do in Kathmandu?" is yet another music video telling a typical Kaliwood/Bollywood style story where the bad guys (guys in black) are after good guys (those in regular clothing running away from the bad guys).

Youtube Launches New Service That Lets You Edit Your Videos Online

I created WebXplorer account on Youtube last week. An hour ago I was fooling around with one of the Nepali music videos, which I finished creating, by adding different soundtrack (Perfect Circle's - The Hollow) as the background music instead of the original. I was thinking of using Youtube Remixer (BETA) tool to do this stuff, but it kept giving me error after error. Therefore I ended up using Microsoft Movie Maker 2.1 which is a free video editing utility that ships with Windows XP service pack. I uploaded the contents, both original as well as remix, to my WebXplorer account on Youtube for you guys to see. Tell me what do you think about it.

Youtube Remixer is actually Adobe Premiere Express Edition. It doesn't have jam packed features. For that you'll probably need Pro tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro Edition. But once it becomes fully operable* it will allow you to create the video like the one I've created using Movie Maker without using any other tool besides your web browser.

Some other sites offering similar kind of video editing service are jaycut.com, jumpcut.com,
motionbox.com, dabble.com, eyespot.com, mojiti.com (Only lets you add annotation to your videos), photobucket.com among dozen others.

I'm a newbie on video editing so please don't expect much from my video.



*Currently the feature of adding external audio to the video isn't available.

I Stumbled Upon a Beautiful Music Video on Youtube

This following song is sang by an artist, Terra Naomi, who became popular in the virtual world in very short period (She joined Youtube just on Feb 23,2006 - although she attained a music school and was musically involved before her youtube career). I believe that she'll soon be famous both online as well as offline. For more of her videos follow this link.

For now enjoy listening to Say it's Possible by Terra.



Lyrics taken from the comment section of her video.

I SEE THE LIGHTS ARE TURNING
AND I LOOK OUTSIDE THE STARS ARE BURNING
THROUGH THIS CHANGING TIME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING WE WANT
IT'S FINE SALVATION WAS JUST A PASSING THOUGHT.

DON'T WAIT ACT NOW
THIS AMAZING OFFER WON'T LAST LONG
IT'S ONLY A CHANCE TO PAVE THE PATH WE'RE ON
I KNOW THERE ARE MORE EXCITING THINGS TO TALK ABOUT
AND IN TIME WE'LL SORT IT OUT

AND THOUGH THEY SAY IT'S POSSIBLE TO ME
I DON'T SEE HOW IT'S PROBABLE
I SEE THE COURSE WE'RE ON
SPINNING FARTHER FROM WHAT I KNOW
I'LL HOLD ON
TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T LET GO
TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T LET GO

AND TRUTH IS SUCH A FUNNY THING
WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE
KEEP ON TELLING ME
THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST
AND WHAT TO BE FRIGHTENED OF
AND ALL THE REST ARE WRONG
THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT US

AND THOUGH THEY SAY IT'S POSSIBLE TO ME
I DON'T SEE HOW IT'S PROBABLE
I SEE THE COURSE WE'RE ON
SPINNING FARTHER FROM WHAT I KNOW
I'LL HOLD ON
TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T LET GO
TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T LET GO

I'M NOT ALRIGHT...

THIS COULD BE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
COMBINE OUR LOVE INTO SOMETHING WONDERFUL
BUT TIMES ARE TOUGH I KNOW
AND THE PULL OF WHAT WE CAN'T GIVE UP TAKES HOLD

(c) Terra Naomi 2006

Update:
She became the most subscribed musical artist on youtube by the end of 2006.
