positivity sans negativity




“Words…n words I only have”…

Goes well with me...As n average Indian words n only words is wot I possess

Its Sunday…n m privileged to occupy my Sunday mornings with d weekly articles of shobha de, shashi tharoor,swaminathan iyer et al…courtesy the TOI..d Sunday TOI is in vast contrast to their gossip supplements..

..I hv to admit one thng 4 sure… I used to get carried away by the so cld thought provoking articles ( they r intended to be thought provoking or why else wld a person write) some years bck… but wid their increasng no. of articles m also maturing wid age I guess…(hopefully so!! )

For All of them, except shashi tharoor, I find d so cld positivity thng missing in their articles.. why does all of their articles is subjectd for bashing up each n every thng dats d the billions of this positiveness seeking middle class cherishes…

Let me begin with d case of our very own gold finder abhinav bindra.. wen all of us r still sinking in his glory.. d gr8 journos r up with arms.. frankly speaking wot is his fault.. -dat he is a billionaire n is foreign educated…n dat he is not underpriviledged n his family does not live below povetry line.. does that take away his credentials…

Y does ronaldo ,federer still sweat it out in d open wen they have earned so much dat their cming generations need nt hv to worry bout nethng…same goes wid bindra..cnt we respect him 4 wot he has done 4 d country…cnt we respect him 4 his dedication…n respect him 4 he is a fighter who has even defeated his career threatening injury..

I dnt knw whether he basks in individual glory or d country…nor does u… d only thing we knw s dat he has given this country something…whch u n me havent…ok its jst 1 gold..but haven’t u seen dat this 1 gold has atleast seen India’s name shining ahead rest of d countries..

I agree wid shobha dey once only wen she says wots d point of maharastra payng 10 lakhs to Bindra…same goes wid assam offering him d same sum… wots d point dear ministers.. he s already a billionaire… instead u cld hv done a lot for d actually underpriviledged ones.(.if I begin counting d avenues it wld make even kumbhkaran wake up…) Actually my point is dat if u so badly wanted to congratulate dis goldfinder…gve him d respect…gve him national honour..dats all he needs not ur money sir..!

ABOUT MITHYA,RAINCOAT et al


It is not that late, unusual for me to pen down my thoughts at this point of time.But as I am not well, it gives me a pleasant relief from d mind juggling paper readings.

It seriously has to be a boring new year, boring because I judge a year by the movies that releases. As till that time no good movies in the theaters. So this weekend I went for Mithya, honestly, going by the credentials of Mr.Rajat Kapoor I had quite some expectations..

Mithya was really good.It reminded me of Rituporno Ghosh genre of movies. What's the speciality of these kind of movies is yet to b discovered by m,but these movies imprint an ever-lasting impression on me. It is not wen I see d movie I feel d difference, but its the post movie effect,as i call it, which stays!

Mithya reminded me of Raincoat, not the best of Rituporno Ghosh but Raincoat was one of the "best amongst the under-rated Hindi movies" This is one movie that is still with me, I can still feel its moments-the rainy afternoon, the subdued conversations between the two protagonists, the love they bore for each other...It is like W.Wordsworth's poem "the solitary reaper"

...As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending;--
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.

How I love this poem.

It is sad to see the response for such movies, specially in Delhi, I mean the audience reception.

Now coming back to Mithya, acting,direction,story spot on. It is the last scene where Ranvir Shorey remembers Neha Dhupia’s name is one of d best climaxes I have seen in recent times. As I said, it will probably be engraved in my cinematic memory forever

It reminds me of some ones blog where it emphasised on Hindi movies' fascination for happy endings,though it makes us feel happy after the movie, but it still somewhere doesn't manage to create that ever-lasting impact. It somehow loses some shine of  it. Did someone say Schindler's list!

it all changed dat way

there wasnt any rain that day...but still the day was gloomy.... for the first time in my lyf i felt lyk smethng dat i never experienced before...i wasnt left out...i wasnt secondary for someone...

it changed me...myself,my outlook toward lyf,m no longer a coward now...it changed me for i was a dormant volcano waiting for years to burst out... to burst out for everything i wished i lost... for humiliation i was offered... for the pain i suffered..

for no one remember nething...it was me who lost everything...

no one stood by me ...it was me only...for i was nothing for them...nothing except a piece for humiliation...a commodity...


if it would hv nt rained that day...i would have been lost somewhere...lost forever!
