Butterfly, butterflyWhere do you roamWho’s lucky garden,Do you call your home?Butter fly, butterfly,Why won’t you stay?Why are you always,Fluttering away.:P

The two big reasons instances of why it is unlucky is coz from the Bible, it is said that Adam and Eve took the forbidden fruit on a Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus also took place on Friday.

Other instance are:

• The great flood during the time of Noah occurred on a Friday.
• Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since The Canterbury Tales were written in the 14th century.
• Friday was Hangman’s Day in Britain

So, is this why you call Friday a day of bad luck? Meh!

The number 13. A lot of buildings don’t have a 13^th floor. Some airplanes don’t have 13^th row. Like Friday, misfortune ties with the number 13. The story of the Last Supper is that there were 13 people at the Last Supper, and Judas was the 13th person to arrive. There is a superstition, possibly derived from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having 13 people seated at a table will result in the death of one of them.

Other reasons why people think that Friday the 13^th brings bad luck:

• There are 13 months in the pagan lunar calendar
• Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.
• Apollo 13 was launched at 13:13 CST, and its oxygen tank ruptured on April 13, 1970.

According to Wikipedia, The fear of Friday the 13th is called as friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named and triskaideka meaning fear of the number thirteen).

God bless you people!

P.S. Friday the 13th doesn’t scare me!tfrida

Merry Christmas!!

Aren’t we forgetting the true meaning of Christmas? You know … the birth of Santa. — Bart Simpson

I love it when a plane lands and takes off. The feeling is so awesome! Don’t understand why people are worried about it.

Press Release: Metro Brava, a Bangalore-based media and communications company launched their first movie here today. A banner of Metro Brava called Metro Films, under which the movie was produced, aims to make five feature films based on five Indian metropolitan cities.

The Successor: Private & Confidential’ is the first of the five-film concept and revolves around the city of Bangalore. It is an 84-minute English language feature film and India’s first real ‘mockumentary’, which was made with an entire project budget of less than five lakhs. Metro Brava has thus woven a whole new business model along the way, so that others can be encouraged to follow in their footsteps and become part of India’s new wave of media.

Metro Films aims to showcase every city and associated film in a new light for modern Indian audiences. Each of these films will introduce a whole new treatment and concept never before experienced in India.

The Film

The challenge was set – the film was shot in 45 locations in and around Bangalore in seven days for a budget of less than five lakhs, with no script and was completed well within the scheduled time and budget. In order to achieve this, the concept of ‘mainstream mockumentary’ was chosen, which is a fake documentary with commercial elements like action, romance, friendship and comedy included to work more for an Indian audience. Popular Bangalorean personalities including cricketer S. Sreesanth, fashion guru Prasad Bidappa, and swimming ace Shika Tandon among others who played themselves in the film.

The soundtrack of the film is another unique pioneering effort for India with ten artists from all over the world contributing to it.

The movie was launched yesterday at the Hotel Atria. There was a media and bloggers event that took place at 6:30pm. The movie will be screened in all of the Inox theaters in Bangalore.

Just a month after its launch, FunkTees has already received over 10k fans on its Facebook page, which is quite impressive. While I was drafting this post, I compared the number of fans of Myntra, InkFruit and FunkTees on Facebook and surprisingly FunkTees has already overtaken InkFruit! FunkTees are certainly here for some tough competition.

FunkTees overall Alexa traffic rank is 103,829 and traffic rank in India 8,997 which is quite a good number for month-and-a-half old start-up, but needs to improve a lot on its SEO.
