Rahul Dravid-The calm charmer

What would Indian cricket team be without "the wall"? The calmness, the tenacity and the true grit displayed by the veteran was definetely worth watching or atleast worth noticing. In every sport one can find people who are bulwarks of the team and still quite alienated from glamour and working more on work rather than publicity. One can find several such person in every area of work. No wonder why india sachin is in news for selling his ferari car on the front page of every daily and the better and significant news eclipsed. Dravid's century in the second innings vicariously suggest why is all we need when performing a majestic task.
If the youth is like dravid, no need to bother. His glowing stature with magnified presence on the field is more terrifying for the opponents. Would really like to salute Rahul dravid for his contribution to Indian Cricket, atleast we need a wall which is more cemented, more strong, more youthful and evergreen.

Shaitan beats Zindagi na milegi doobara-my thinking lens

How does it feel when the same old stuff gets repeated either through people like karan johar's zoya akhtar and everybody of that sort who in this globalised and awakened india display cross culture extravaganza. How cheap is that? When for the first time i heard about ZNMD i was expecting something more which is unseen before with the starlites it has but now after watching the promos i am disappointed. Its the same old stuff where we are taught that this is the last day of your life so maximise on everything, live the moment, do something never done before and the same stuff, with hrithik and katrina adding the glamour quotient in the film. Please show us something new because we already know that, " Zindagi na milegi doobara", and but going to Spain and showcasing exotic landscapes , with the cultural vividity doesnt impress me at all.
The movie i am eagerly waiting for is Shaitan. Something very real, less addressed in indian cinema, about contemporary youth and it has everything i am looking for. Anything which displays emotions in the appropriate way is commendable and that is what i am interested in watching. Its a difficult subject actually to portray but i have high hopes. It is releasing this friday, lets see how it turns up. Just because i want to relate to my inner Shaitan, atleast i will come to know how well it is written and portrayed....
