Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm - (Four Rhythm Across the Blue)


Gravity is solved, they found a new element which is anti gravitational. They started using them in shoes to enable people to fly. In Japan, this however works only in the four southern islands of the Japanese archipelago for some reason.

Through this advancement, a sport is developed around it called Flying Circus. Rules are simple: fly and reach 4 flying buoys like in baseball, reach a buoy to earn a point. Tapping on the opponent’s back can also earn a point.





Meet Kurashina Asuka: a pink haired airhead who moves to one of the four islands.  



She starts learning how to fly and incidentally she is pulled into the world of flying circus. 

The trainers realize that she is a natural and she revives interest in the sport in her school again.


The new amateur team along with Kurashina starts participating in tournaments and from that point on, its what you expect from any sports movie or anime. Talented but Tainted coach tries to help a rookie team and leads them to victory. And they do win.

Overall the anime is fun to watch and is paced well, so you hardly notice that you're binging it.

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration   As of this writing, I am using Solr 4.8.0 and Nutch 1.8.0 binaries for the integration. Will catch up to later versions as and when my project requires.
