An Open Letter to Aamir Khan, the Entire Film Fraternity and my Fellow Indians

| Posted in Blogging, India, Movies, News, Reviews and Opinions, Thoughts |

This post is to Bollywood as well as my fellow country men and woman.

To the Bollywood first- My Name Is Khan Movie PosterGuys, what the heck is wrong with you all? sometimes you talk like you are great people, know only to do good things and can lead people in the right way. But when it comes to actually doing the deed. You play dead?

Fuck Man. Seriously! – Animals are better than us. If one Crow is dying or dead, all the crows come together. When one of your own is being bombarded with threats by some goondas, you all play dead?

Ya we know you have professional rivalries. Professional rivalries should be only be kept to professional matters. But when one of your own is being targeted by some ass hole goons – where the heck were you all? Don’t have balls to come out?

“Mozart of Madras” deserves it!

A R RahmanAs Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire gets its big share of awards at the Golden Globe, A R Rahman is being recognized and heard all over the world. This Man is not just a musician, he is a magician with just a different kind of magic. He deserves a “Sir”! 
Look at those Awards.

I would say “Sir.A.R.Rahman” this time, he is making HISTORY!

- Rahman’s a genius: Boyle
- Maestro Rahman’s music draws Oscar nominations
- Slumdog, Rahman sweep Oscar nominations
- Complete list of Oscar nominations

Slumdog has been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (Simon Beaufoy), Best Picture, Best Original Score (A R Rahman), Best Song (One each for Jai Ho and O Saya), Best editing, Best Sound Mixing (Resul Pookutty), Best Sound Editing (Resul Pookutty), Best Cinematography and Best Director (Danny Boyle) at the Oscars.

Not just Nominations, I am sure he will make it. In fact, I am wishing that he gets the Best Original Score and the two of his songs nominated for the best song do not compromise and make a Tie!! Been tired of listening to Rahman’s music!! This should keep him quite at least for some time :)

I am watching the movie on Saturday.
But the music? Its already playing in our Home and Car :)

November 2008 Mumbai Terror Attacks

| Posted in India, News |

13

With a growing financial crisis situation, Rowdy Politicians encouraging hate crimes, Corruption in every single office, Nature not sparing farmers not for a single season, Companies laying off staff, Terror attacks is the last thing India wants!!! More than a hundred died and several hundreds injured in last night’s terror attack in which terrorists sprayed bullets where ever they could. And as I write this, the situation is not over yet. Hundreds more are believed to be trapped or taken hostage in Taj and Oberoi hotels.

I personally think that this terror group is some way linked to the BJP(Bharatiya Janatha Party) and the people who have been arrested in the Malegaon blast probe. People who have supported suspects in the Malegaon should be immediately taken into custody without considering their positions, ranks or whatever. Well I guess L.K.Advani should be first in the row. I am a Hindu but would not encourage any violence or hate culture growing in my country (being a Hindu I should support what BJP is doing for the good of Hindus? BS!!!! These assholes encouraging hate should be tortured to death).

Well, before I begin to write about the Mumbai blasts as never to forget what happened on one Wednesday night in the most loved Indian city, I want to say this: I really wish there is another political party (with real selfless leaders) in the country which is no way like the Saffron Terror Party BJP and no way like the Corrupted Congress …………………………….!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast Congress seems to be better than the Terrorist BJP party.

My condolences and prayers to the families of the victims, police and army men lost in this battle, their families and my special salutes to the One and Only ATS(Anti Terrorist Squad) Chief Hemant Karkare. His loss is mammoth to the country. Sir I really wish you lived. I wish I could give you my life so that you lived. You will live as an inspiration to everyone. You will not be forgotten.

Here is the story as I watched it far away from Mumbai but with fear and hate of the terrorist acts:

MUMBAI UNDER SIEGE : 100 DEAD, 110 INJURED ;

ENCOUNTERS ON

Gunmen have carried out a series of coordinated attacks across the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay), killing 101 people and injuring 287 more.

What follows in this post is just the news as it came out till 11PM, 27th November 2008. Its not over yet!!!

Hutch is now Vodafone and Vodafone branding spoiling TV viewer experience

| Posted in India, News |

Anurag at India Inc wrote about Vodafone brand to dominate media in the coming days 3 days ago. At that point I thought this would be like Hutch advertising when it was initially launched all over India. they didn’t leave anything from boards or road divider, all hoardings in all cities to top TV commercial slots. Their advertisements where everywhere. At that point itself everyone felt it was over branding. Recalling that is the now re-branding campaign of Vodafone.

A report in The Sun claimed a Pakistan-based bookie was thrown out of Woolmer’s room after an altercation with the coach.

The daily quoted sources claiming that the bookie, who had vanished after Woolmer’s death on March 18, is an associate of Dawood Ibrahim, who is wanted over funding Al Qaeda and also for the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
