At the Crossroads

Winner all the way!!!

If i were to describe Mani Ratnam's latest flick in one word,it would be "AMAZING".I thoroughly enjoyed it.I have always loved watching ManiRatnam movies.They are not jus sensible and entertaining but also tugs at your heart strings,leaves behind a long-lasting impression. For someone like Abhishek Bachan,it must have been the biggest break of his life.I have never quite considered Abhishek a good actor , he simply cannot act for nuts.Besides acting,an actor should also be good at various other
things,expression,dance...He certainly lacks the versatility of his father and his contemporaries.Nevertheless,he has done a decent job and desereves to be appreciated.

The rest of the cast has done a great job,Ash,Mithun and Madhavan.Vidya Balan is wasted and her presence is highly unneeded,all shez gotta do is move around on a wheel-chair and deliver some extremely meaningless dialogues and lock lips with maddy.

Its based on the life of Late DhiruBhai Ambani,and it provides an insight of the life of a man whose passion to make it big in life was beyond anything.The supposedly 5 mins speech that Guru delivers towards the end is a little drag and highly unwarranted and also makes very little sense,why does he have to bring in Bapu and what was he trying? justifying his position or stating that some amount of corruption is acceptable,and also the one abt begging to the world bank for money to lay roads.Something went badly amiss toward the end and it ended on a low note.

All in all a good movie and definitely worth a watch.Highly inspiring as well..Considering the fact that my hit counter is increasing at a good pace,i have decided to blog regularly and i plan to put some real interesting stuff :p

Till then
Ciao

Things that keep me occupied

Of late work keeps me extremely busy. Understandably,it isnt great fun to spend 13 hours a day doing something you absolutely dont like.But it has its own advantages,good pay and lotta respect from neighbours.I recieved a free edition of one of Kushwant Singh's work.Its about the men and women in his life,or perhaps the people who matter the most to him.Apparently,lotta women figure in this book ;). Well,i am trying to put across the point that this book forced me to think over the fact that i must also have certain number of people i absolutely adore,admire,appreciate,look upto,envy,hate,detest,love,have hots for.. Yes,i do.Over the weekend i thought over it and i was able to come up wid a coupla names.
It wouldn't be appropriate for me to mention all names here,i would certainly give in some info or the other.My mom is beyond doubts the person whoze existence is highly imperative for my own existence.She is the one i confide to in times of difficulty, and without her i shall not be what i am.My parents and sisters are my support system and i love them all.The only other person who can take me for what i am,is this very lovely fren of mine.Though miles away from me,she is the one i can reply upon and she would never let me down.I got a bunch of very reliable friends, and i cant ask god for more.Thats all i got for now :p..
Isnt it a great way to spend the weekend :p ..The weekend just flew past and the entire week is ahead of me.over the weekend i Spent lotta time on fone,managed 5 movies in 2 days and a whole lotta crazy serials.KBC is on air and SRK isnt doing a bad job at all.Looks like hez worked really hard but at times his actions seem fake and made up.He better work on it.Shilpa Shetty on Big brother-set to earn a fortune:p
Started perparing for another set of exams and slept like never before :)
The following week is going to be tough,so all u frens of mine,wish me luck.

Lets all pray for the soul of children miserably butchered by 2 paedophilias to rest in peace.

Discrimination

Am back...over 2 months and no updates,either i am extremely busy or jus bored and uninspired.well both..work keeps me busy and at the moment all i need is a break. Past 2 months have been very eventful,we set foot in the new year,saddam executed,nithari killings(heights of brutality),Indian cricket team's dismal performance at SA, and a lot more..And for those who interested in the happenings of my otherwise dull life,there isnt much to say.
Too much work , too many exams and loads a pressure has left me exhausted.I need some time off,relax and live for myself.I was suppose to leave india on an assignment this weekend.Fortunately,my visa was not approved on account of some discrepancy in the documents submitted.But what i gotta see at the consulate was heart-wrenching.How does it feel to be superior over others?? And how is ur superiority gauged?? Any individual is superior by his/her values,actions and ideals.And for all those who live by this badly reasoned belief that money and a power makes u the best,then its just not true.And its the same for any country.Humility,simplicity and morals make a man.
