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....

Simply Great...

I was ecstatic and so was the whole country. What a victory!!! True grit portrayed by the Indian Cricket Team. People all over were just waiting for this thing to happen. Vadodara, so was every city bursting in celebration. I saw one of the most unforgetable scenes on streets. Right from the kid to the senile everybody were involved into it. Actually there are no words to describe the feeling everybody had after winning the grand finale. Basically reading newspapers is boring but the next day just opened up the vernacular dailies to look at the photos... Gauti played the foundational knock without which it would have been difficult but truly admire dhoni's courage to come up the order and face the challenge head on. People had gone crazy. Initially i thought that people had hardly any gas remained after the Ind/Pak match but i was wrong...

Struggle -truce - struggle debate

After the civil disobedience movement ended in around 1934, there was a ideological war waged between Nehru and Gandhi. Nehru had a different vision for independence i.e. he believed that after any struggle of this sort the immediate goal should be VICTORY. Nehru had his own perceptions about things. Gandhi believed that Masses are not prepared for any more struggle right away, instead they should involve themselves into constructive work and strengthen themselves, energize themselves for the next one. Masses should involve themselves into parliamentary work, education, empowerment and every other constructive activity.

Nehru was completely against it and presented his S-V strategy i.e. struggle-victory while Gandhi completely believed that masses are not prepared for another exhaustive struggle. Gandhi gave the theory of STS i.e. Struggle -Truce- Struggle. Finally Nehru did realised that he was wrong. This incident is very eventful because every person goes through different sorts of struggle many a times in life but what needs to be remembered is that after every struggle whether it gets converted into success or failure there should be time where one should wait, hold and then move with the experience learned. Any person can be in any of these phases either Struggle, Truce or Victory. Sometimes its best to be in that "truce period" where what matters is how much you can hold on to what you have and what you are longing for...

BED EFFECTS(bad effects) of a GOOD FACE...

Liberated libidos,the care a damm attitude, the insatiable sexual appetite, infidel relationships and monotonous lifesyle devoid of thrill and fun are the causes and symptoms of a "BED EFFECTS"(bad effects). What i percieve might be completely wrong but everybody is alone from the very within. The isolated SELF has enormous fantasies, desires and wishes which gets stored in the archives of our unconscious mind, which ultimately gets manifested whenever our REAL SELF gets a chance.

Any cute face approaching a frustrated heart due to plethora of reasons as we all know can end up creating another frustrative relation which ultimately gave us stress. Even in ancient days when vatsyayana had pen down The Kamasutra the desire for the ultimate pleasure was known but maybe the reasons were not the same & its the reasons which we should fear the most. The one thing i regret among the masses of today is the Loss of strength of character which is not found among people. The hypocrisy with which we people live today has reached abysmally low. Again there might be different perceptions aas to what i am writing but i strongly feel its a big viscious cycle we land ourselves into which lays the trap for the forthcoming problems. The only respite is the choices we make in life, that is the right choice in terms of choosing a job, career, lifepartner, and everything else which can ease out things in times of crisis.

Not at all preaching, but i think Life is always beautiful and No conditions apply...Its never too late for the right things you want to do...But i believe that one should keep on taking Risk in life the last thing which would happen is we will fail...thats it...but one should keep on walking, running and rising again...

Anything to everything...

Oscar Wilde once said that "one should be in love every time and if so, one need not marry". Not an axiom in any sense but to be honest there lies some truth in what he said. Whenever i go to a public place and find a couple torn fully separated in every possible way and still living together, sharing the same bed, same lives & same children looks disenchanted in every respect. Basically I think you can love anyone at anytime if you are open to ideas, perspectives and most important without prejudices of thoughts and not person. Life and love both are the most simplest things available if we are at our natural best with complete honesty and unadulterated from within. At the end you just need that one person in the world who can understand what you say and what you dont say. though difficult to find as we all are driven by bounded rationality, as i dont know there must be someone in Brazil who can understand me very well, so it is true for China, Russia, Japan, US and most beautiful country so how can i decide that whatever i perceive is the only thing i can get and nothing else... I dont know but i cannot get that logic...

"Guzarish"---pre-view

What matters the most? Quality or Quantity? Different answers for different for different aspects. Maybe Quantitative quality or Qualitative Quantity? But when it comes to portraying an art form, there cannot be any compromise.

The promos of "Guzarrish" are so enchanting and seductive in every form of art that it requires every form of applause. Its going to be cult of a film without any doubt. Mr Bhansali has once again produced a masterpiece working with one of the most expressive actors of modern indian cinema, Hrithik roshan.Producing an art form of this level where every scene of the movie is so meticulously produced that it questions the bounded limitations the human mind has ever seen.
What needs to be revered the untiring efforts of Ram Gopal Verma in creating a list of movies despite unrevered accolades and Mr Bhansali whose Cult cinemas produces masterpieces whenever he wants it to make. That's Quality over quantity.Definitely not at all questioning any form of art produced by the talented Directors but what finally matters is that one thing in life which matters the most.

Its all about that one thing which matters the most, may it be anything. The moment of innermost revulsion's is the greatest quest which one should strive for. And Guzzarish the way it has been portrayed is worth experiencing rather than just watching it.
the way i see, it does touch every art form and the greatest form of art ever produced is ofcourse Humans---which remains to be discovered...
