Some Clips:-

  • George Fernandes Interview by Karan Thapar -- Karan Thapar in his TV programme, Devil Advocate , intrigued George Fernandes over all possible issues. And when Karan Thapar interviews some one, it appears like -- "stupid,.. ANSWER my question". Geroge Fernandes had his great glorious day, when in those days his oratory and administrative role matched best of the country. But then the Jaya Jaitley case, the coffin scam and his constrained relationship with his party members; made him just a symbolic figure of his past. George is now 78, and in the above mentioned interview he appeared unconscious, fighting with himself to utter single words and his health appeared poor. Often Karan had to put letters in his mouth. It did not appear a fair debate. Actually it appeared cruel. A person who was once pitted as possible PM after Vajpayee, who is no Deve Gowda no Lalu, though he could have easily got cool-nice power positions for himself, should not be treated in such manner.

  • RACE -- My brother and sister pressed hard to watch this movie at some multiplex. In 2007 I watched three movies in Cinema Halls -- Saawariya, Welcome and Taare Zameen Par. Movies like Welcome, are some of the best example of worst making of a movie and still becoming a major hit. And Saawariya ... when I told my sister ( Anisha and Nandi ) that its background was great, somewhere somekind of flame appeared! But Saawariya is like a metaphor, where its words got consumed, absorbed in the poet himself. It suffered lack of dialogue with spectator. Now coming back to RACE, I was in no mood to spend my hard earned pennies on such a movie where Bipasha Basu, Sameera Reddy and Katrina Kaif ( she always giggles or smiles, and this is her central acting prowess )are the poster ladies. No doubt, my skepticism turned true when I saw it on my Lappy. The suspense, thrill and the unfaithfulness of the step bothers ( Saif & Akshay Khanna, in the film ) is worth of 17 years old 1st year college student only. Not for me.
It is now almost 10 years since I slept on the roof of my Mama Jee's house, which is in a village, where the cold but soothing breeze kept the soul happy; the bare sky, where the stars were twinkling and playing with your eyes ... where is that peace and the calmness ?

    Awesome post !

    And I totally agree to the Karan Thapar thing...his tiff upper lip bellowing harangues and pelting qustions like his assis on fire...reduces the interviewee to a 'bichara' culprit on the dock..ready to be hanged.

    And you went to watch Race ? No way ! But then I heard it was good...dunno. I aint a multiplex person anyway. Even I am not the one to spend my hard earned buck on a stupid movie.

    Glad to have you back !
    :)

Praying for "love"

Dear Love, I am sitting beside you. I know you are ill for several days. Your health looks miserable and many a times you were not able to respond. I have been busy in my work, and could not take care of yours. I am feeling really bad and guilty for my behavior. I remember those moments when we were talking, laughing and enjoying every moment of our life. Watching your pale face I am feeling sad and disheartened... It was almost two years back when we met. I came to this place ( IIITb ) alone, with none of my old friends with me. No one was here with whom I could talk, share my thoughts and was feeling as if I am in desert. True, it is that there were folks around me, but effectively, even then, life was dry and relentless. In those dark moments I met you. Initially you were unresponsive in many contexts, but gradually I came to know lot of things about you. Believe me, at the very first sight I got enchanted to you. You were the real fashionista, always wearing in black embroideries c...

Is Education becoming too costly ... ?

Thus, I am back to Bangalore . It was (as should be) very nice and refreshing Home going, also the social thinker within me was kept alive (in silent mode) and lot a many social fabrics were unthreading themselves in my imagination. I do not have wide study of Social constructs, neither I have the chance to participate in any relevant discussion, so I am not going to make any assertion, rather it will be a compilation. Of the many a things that touched my mind set during this journey, education was one of them. Particularly the cost of a "good" education can be any thing these days. Also, degrees are easily available for those who have money. This essentially means, you can buy engineering, medical, business management and many other degrees. Dilution of Courses and Examination -- The standard 10 th and 12 th examination ( CBSE ) has become lot easier. I have heard of Sample Papers being distributed among students, in Kendriya Vidyalaya (they conduct pre -exam tests usi...
