'The Giving Pledge' - For Philanthropists

The Giving Pledge is a campaign to encourage world's wealthiest individuals and families to dedicate the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes. It is not a legal, paper-signed contract but just a commitment. The donation can be either during the course of the lifetime or after the death.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates

This campaign was founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in 2009 and generally it focuses on the billionaires. In 2010, it was made public and since then around 120 billionaires across worldwide has joined this campaign. Few of them committed to donate half of their wealth.

Inglourious Basterds

The film Inglourious Basterds released in 2009 was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Although the film is history-fictional, it deals with two plots of the assassination of Nazi Germany’s political leadership.

Brad Pitt

Tarantino spent a decade writing the film script. He started to write the story in 1998 but he couldn't find a perfect climax to finish it off. He took care of the smallest characters of the movie and shaped the final script very well.

IPC Section 377 in India

Same sex marriage remains illegal in India. IPC Section 377 coveys the same. Indian’s consider same-sex relationships as illegitimate and prefer being very conservative, religious and traditional.

LGBT communities (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender) are also humans and they should be treated with all due respect. They deserve each right as equal as any other human being. Homosexuality may be unnatural, unreal and unsocial but laws are made for the people, by the people. If there is a scope of improvement, it should be appreciated.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired.

The evolution of smartphones is so rapid and advanced in a short span of time. Thanks to Internet and latest technologies. Without these two, smartphones are just a piece of material made up of glass, plastics and weird chips.

Quentin Tarantino: Next flick

Quentin Tarantino, a magical name in the world of modern cinema. An energetic filmmaker, who broke the rule of a traditional film and followed a unique way of filming.

I admire him as a Screenplay writer much more than a Director. His major asset is the narration of non-linear stories being conveyed with impressive characterization. Tarantino lights life to every characters he crafts even if it happen to be a minor one. A true brilliance!
