**Casino Royale** - A Prequel , Reboot and Retcon


"Casino Royale" the name reflects the gambling game where gamblers earn more money fooling the players. Casino Royale is the latest Bond movie to be released on 17'Nov. Its being directed by Martin Campbell, who had directed the movies like "Golden Eye", "Vertical Limit", and "Mask of Zorro". Being a big fan of James Bond i am awaiting for this adventurous venture's release. This new venture is coming with lots of changes from the previous bond movies, and first of all new bond is introducing, Daniel Criag'. Looking at the posters im not able to digest Daniel Criag as James Bond. I still prefer to watch Peirce Brosnon as Bond even he is older.

My curiosity towards Bond movies thrown me to search for new information regarding the Casino Royale. I came to know many interesting points about this venture and may be it is the reason that Brosnon asked for more remuneration. The Casino Royale is the First ever novel of James Bond series written by Ian Flemming. Its going to show James bond differently from the previous sequel. Its a bit serious and non-comedic adaptation of Ian Flemings Story.
Title of this post reflects that its a prequel, reboot, and retcon of the Bond movies. Why it is a prequel is that the story will tell us the necissity of born of James Bond which was narrated by Ian Flemming. Its a Retcon (Retroactive Continuity), coz its going to show something different in JamesBond from the older sequel. And its a Reboot, since Pierce Brosnon was retired from Bond Character and New Bond, Daniel Criag, was adopted.
This movie is against terrorism and Criag is about to stop winning a bank in the Casino Royale game which supports the terrorist groups. Lets wait till Nov'17th to watch the new Bond and his (new)Bond girls.
Note: Eon Productions decided to take another Jame Bond venture with Daniel Criag. Could it be expected that Craig fits well into Bond character?

State of Mind, an experience!

After a long gap of more than two months, i am back to blogging. This post is abt my experience of Soft skills session in our training schedule. I enjoyed this session more and particularly the games which we played individually and as a team learnt us many things which we were not aware of. This is what is terms in behavioural science 'hiding due to blindedness'. Many of us feel that a typical puzzle or game can not be solved by myself, without any others help. But we did came to experience physically as its only our perception of being tough. We played games like 'BrainLock', 'Gammat-Jammat', 'Ring Toss', etc.. But all these games are not only involving analytical thinking, but also requires technical fundas which we might have learnt in school days. Particularly when it comes to the BrainLock game, its too difficult to crack it, without the technical clue, the centrifugal force.
While playing these games, my state of mind is sometimes puzzy and sometimes i forcedly kept it to peaceful to solve the puzzle. But its founded that to solve any kind of problem, our state of mind must be peaceful, for getting the better and productive results.
I want to dwell more into this behavioral science to deal with large number of people. Shd anyone help me out there any kind of books or practices u came across?
