Since the release of this movie everyone and anyone is hell bent on expressing their opinions, I thought why should I stay behind?? So here I am..
On the whole, the movie is OK. The real issue is whether the praise and rave reviews that this movie is getting are justified or not!! I think not.
Because there have been so many Hindi movies (and that too good Hindi movies) which also portrayed the so called dark underbelly of India. Satya, Company etc to name a few. Even they showed the slums, the mafia and everything, but did they see at least the Golden Globe?? NO!!! Because the production was completely Indian. But the mere fact that Slumdog had firang backing got it to the golden Globes and now the Oscars!!
This blog is not meant to degrade the efforts put in by the Slumdog team, they have made an excellent attempt and Congratulations to them!! But the real question is why Indian movies never see the Golden Globe? And further more why attach so much importance to these Golden Globe and Oscars??
I guess the notion of impressing the westerners will never die. And its not everybody but a handful few who indulge in this. And again no one can judge whether this is right or not!! To each his own!! Thats what i say!!
Anyway lets hope that we can change the image that the world has of us!!

Peace
The sky is blue
The sun is shining
The rain is gone
And peace is reigning!
Why do we do
The things that we do
But instead, just sit back
And enjoy this mojo!!
Why do terrorists
Want to kill
Loving and being peaceful
Apparently requires more skill!!
Why do politicians
Have to twist everything
With so much chaos
And the outcome as nothing!
Why not just enjoy
The few moments we have here
Instead create havoc
Which is more than we can bear!
So let us all
Learn a lesson
And live peacefully
Forever and Ever!!!

Howdy Fellas!!
Long time no blogging!! so I thought that it is about time I did something interesting in my life ( which is a monotonous rut, mind you!!). Anyway the point being that I am here.
For those who dunno I just graduated. An engineer!! Thank You! I have been getting many gifts! Apparently ppl were surprised that I could do it!! haha..jus kidding.. Thank you all for such sweet gifts!
Apart from the gifts I donn think i have a high point in life right now. TCS has decided to completely ignore us ( for those who dunno, that is where i have been recruited). I am bored to such extent that I gave myself a joining date!!Now now don't u dare judge me!!! [:D]
But all's not completely lost. I still have my German which is sooo much fun. I have made new friends who are completely bonkers btw. We had a welcoming party just the other day for which we had to pay!! Some welcome!![:P]. I think everyone must know a foreign language, its fun!!
BTW saw the movie "Welcome to Sajjanpur". Nice.Liked Shreyas Talpade. Movie has a lot of social messages to belt out. One time watch!! 3 stars from me!! [Sorry could not resist]
Anyway by now we all agree that i am really talking about anything and everything but ppl this is what boredom does to you. I am sure that after this post is published, ppl are gng to leave comments that i enjoy this phase of my life as it wont be coming back again. Ya well i think 4 months is enuf and TCS had better start planning something...or else....... I ll wait some more!!! Chalo ppl gtg...even idle ppl have some things to do!! so ciao!!
Aufwiedersehen!!

If only....
When I am sad
When I am lonely
I think of the past
and wonder 'if only..'
If only I had the courage
to speak my mind
The world today
Would have been a different kind!
If only the sun had shone
pleasantly
It would have put an end
to my misery!
If only life had given
me a second chance
I would have grasped it
and pranced!
Life is cruel
as they say
no amount of begging
mends its way!
So here i am
sad and lonely
wondering about the future
grave and solemnly!

Main Aisi kyun hoon!!
Lately I have been feeling all kinds of emotions!! There is euphoria, der is sadness, joy , jealousy and all that...I dunno why i am feeling what i feel but my guess is that it is because of the fact that my college years are almost over and that i ll be stepping in the real world.
Until now life always had a definite plan laid out for me (or so it seemed!!). Like after FE, SE then TE and so on! (Thankfully went through each phase only once!! :D). Anywho now I am at such a stage where I have absolutely no idea where my life is heading!! Do I want to pursue post graduation?? I dunno!! Do I want to keep working forever?? I dunno!! Do I want to get married?? Umm..NO!! I mean not right now..!! And it seems ppl around me always have known what to do, what they want to be or what they plan to be!! Or maybe they are good at concealing their confusions!! I jus dunno!! I feel we must be given an perfect map as to you should head here after this and stuff like that!! But then it would take away the element of s surprise that comes when u jus dunno where u are heading!!
Prior to giving my GRE I was so damn sure that post graduation was what I wanted the most!! But post GRE I have started thinking whether this is what I really want!!(thanks to someone who could not stop ranting!! :P) I mean to leave this country, this beautiful state, such secure environment!! And for what?? A degree?? which I can easily get over here?? So basically everything boils down to one thing!! I dont know what I am going to do!! LOLssss
Btw I am hoping my parents wld not read this blog because they will be more than willing to kick me out of the house if I raise this dilemma again!! (For those who dont know I have tortured them for the past few months as to what I should do!! poor souls!!) Life is tricky and it is damn sure at its best right now as far as I am concerned!! Anyway lets wait and watch!! Thats my motto!! Kalelach!! haay kay n nhay kaaay!!!!Adios amigos!!

Who will grant them redemption??!!
Hello folks..Today this blog is about those mindless serials that are haunting channels and in turn haunting us!! I was surfing channels and I came across Zee Tv, Sahara and whatever channels they have.. All have serials and all have the same theme running through these serials.. A young petite girl waiting for her dream "dude"!! I mean.. OMG!! And one might even accept the concept because after all one has to get married.. But look at the serial titles...."Main banoo teri dulhan", "Mera sasural", "Mayka" and blah blah.. yeah i had to bear the torture jus to get the serial names!!!
Other than these ridiculous names there are ridiculous plots are well!! Like a "bahu" poisoning a "saas" or what not!! No it is not any serial's plot but they do go to such "drastic" ends!!
Another stupid serial is "Kyunki Saas Bhi kabhi bahu thi".. It was quite ok when it started of..(yeah yeah I used to watch it!!) but now the number of characters has grown to such limit that who is related to whom in what way..there is no chance of knowing!! Also they had "supposedly"killed off Tulsi but now she is back again with another face and now lo..behold!! yes they are bringing the original tulsi to life again!! Boy..Do they fool the Satan or what!! (And Btw i know this much bcoz i did some research and not because i watch the serial!!:D) And the age difference between parents and children is awesome or rather there isn't any!!!
These serials are filled with so much melodrama that u just feel that drinking poison would be fun!! A perfect serial would be something like "Prapanch", a Marathi serial. It was jus awesome. The right amount of drama, emotions and fun!! And the best part is they stopped the serial when it was at its peak. Not like other greedy people who try to cash in on their stupid dramas!!
But seriously it is not entirely their fault. It is equally the fault of people amongst us who watch these stupid serials and try to emulate the actresses!! Get a life people!! Anyway I m quite aware that writing this blog is not going to change anything but it offers me mental satisfaction that cannot be described in words!! Anyway enough bashing for today...Aufwiedersehen!!
