Slow motion refers to an effect resulting from running film through a camera at faster-than-normal speed and then projecting it at standard speed. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving more slowly. The technical term for slow motion is overcranking which refers to the concept of cranking a handcranked camera at a faster rate than normal.
Never realized that slow motion is a result of faster speed. You might be wondering, what slow motion has to do on my blog?... SLOW MOTION...yes..the same thing happened to me few weeks back. Even though it's a weekend, Saturday is the most busiest day of the week for me, with most of the time spent running around kids classes, and then my own list of tasks to accomplish. Mind had lots of plans to work out, but there was something...something... that was resisting my MIND POWER ...that's none other than MY OWN BODY.
With my husband out of town, sick maid off from work, I was completely exhausted by the end of the day. With so much pain, legs were hard to move...just felt like leaving everything and sit down.....I could feel the effect of slow motion. Thanks to my girls for giving a nice massage..and then cup of tea and crocin to forget the pain. After one hour, pain was gone...but mind was not ready to come out of the comfort zone and tightly tied my body to the sitting sofa.
While mind-body saga continued, eyes were glued to Dance-India-Dance. And to my amusement, there came the slow motion act by croc-roaz....God's sent messenger to lift up my spirit ;-). Truly awesome act...
Hope most of you tried slow motion act at some point in life....if not, try it in front of the mirror before giving a demo to others ;-). And here is Raghav's next and last act on DID (as of Jan 15th 2012...at the time of writing this blog).....
Movies add slow motion effects to elongate the acts...the famous Indian act being hero and heroine running towards each other with stretched arms...showing how much effort is required to give a simple hug ;-). And video umpires in cricket and other sports make people open their mouths until the verdict is out.
Everyone likes slow motion once in awhile.. but not if the entire movie is in slow motion. Slow motion to recharge the body makes wonders..famous examples being Yoga and meditation. But if a healthy body continues slow motion for a longer period of time to avoid work and waste time, it results in laziness. So watch out your slow motions...
Uttarayan is leaving winter behind, to increase day-time by actually slowing down the day light process, to bring more sun light and to bring more consciousness to increase working efficiency, thus speeding up your slow motions. Wish you all a very Happy Makar Sankranti/Pongal!!

Editing this post on 03/12/2012 to add more links to Raghav's slow motion acts....happy to see him back on DID :-). Shared this video on my Facebook wall "Beautiful song...few moments of flute at the beginning reminds me of Ilayaraja compositions...and this boy turning on a stable platform and his slow motion acts are simply speechless!!".
