Kala Bandar !!

It's been a busy fortnight and it ends on March 1st. Two of my 1st cousins are getting married (one on 19th and other on 27th). I had a really great time at the 1st wedding, and I believe it's gonna be even better at the 2nd wedding :). I have quite a few cool announcements to make, but I'll do that in another post.

Saw Delhi-6 today, people didn't really like it, some even didn't understand the movie but trust me its a really great n wonderful movie. You GOT to open your mind and put yourself in the shoes of ANY of the characters if you want to appreciate the movie. EACH character had his/her part to play, and each character depicted something about the human nature. One major blunder that the director did was to chose a wrong concept. Religion is and always was a very dangerous topic to choose. Movies might have become hit when they chose to support a religion but fighting against the evilness and blind beliefs in the name of religion is a VERY dangerous topic to pic, esp in India. I REALLY believe that if the same movie was directed by an English director and the climax changed a little bit (Abi dies), the movie would have won as many Oscars as Slumdog if not more.


I liked the concept of "kala bandar", it's more than just a joke, its a reflection of the fears in common man, its a reflection of the blind faith, its a reflection of exploitation, and it's also a reflection of the role of media in modern India. Some of the dialogues are really thought provoking, but invain, I don't think people got the point :(

Sorry Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the movie is definitely better than RDB or Slumdog conceptually, but its a little beyond its time, trying to deal with the religious beliefs of Indians is not that easy. Atleast there should have been a typical villain who did all the 'bandar' stuff for the masses to like the movie. I loved it anyway. Hats off and as you said RDB is your high school stuff & D6 is coll, just that you chose a difficult thesis topic !!

On the eve of V'day

No net @home for the last two weeks and it'd take one more week before I can get a new connection, and thus the disappearance. Lots happened in life in the last two weeks, on personal front and @work too but I'm too lazy to post all that.

Here is Valentines' Day again. Every year I make it a point to freak out on V'day to celebrate the fact that I'm still single (why should couples have all the fun :P), but damn this year I don't see it happening :(. No I'm not afraid of Ram Sena :P, just that most of the friends are now in US, and those in India are either committed or married or too busy working and trying to save their ass from being kicked out of office thanks to recession and layoffs. I guess cupid is just too jealous I'm enjoying my bachelorhood even on V'day :P.

No worries, I'm sure it'll work out just good like every year :-). On a different note I'll be going home for a few days next week and I have my cousins marriage the following week, so there might not be much of an online presence.


PS1: I know eve of V'day is tomorrow :P, but I won't be able to post this tomorrow hehe.
PS2: I got a few mins net access and this is what I do :D
PS3: If someone has any spl plans feel free to invite me along :D
PS4: Got to do a lot of shopping, I'm almost broke and its only 12th :(, lucky this isn't a leap year.
