Dirt Flying Everywhere

Imagine for continuously few days NEWS channels are showing what Agriculture Minister did regarding cricket policies, what Agriculture Minister did regarding cricketers selection criteria, what Agriculture Minister did regarding promoting cricket in rural areas. After this you will certainly get a feeling why the situation of Agriculture and Cricket is like this in India.

Indian Agriculture Minister Mr. Sharad Pawar yesterday held came after long long meeting and announced that whatever IPL decision are to be taken they will be decided by governing body; I will not interfere. I hardly remember what was the last time when he came after a meeting and gave a press conference to show his concern over increasing farmer suicides, concern over rising grain prices, concern over bitterness of sugar prices, concern over extra yield that is decaying outside warehouses. Indeed he and many of them are concerned about another yield; but this yield is not of grains and pulses that grow in field, this yield is of different thing ; it is of money that grows in cricket fields.

From past one week there has been a cleaning campaign, not of cleaning roads, not of cleaning dirty ponds and river shores, not of cleaning beaches but it is of cleaning of images on account of deeds done by people in our nation who are as being projected as modern statesmen and businessman. Shashi Tharoor said he has unconditional love and respect for Kerala and can do anything for it. He told he did to promote Kerala, he has nothing to do with personal monetary benefit from IPL. Vijay Mallya clarified his daughter works under Lalit Modi but she is his step daughter. Next Praful Patel says his daughter is too associated in IPL campaigning and works as intern but he has nothing to do with any benefit from IPL. Sharad Pawar's daughter clarifies their family never had any monetary benefit from IPL. Why we are provided with clarification, why we are being forced to show the intentions are earnest, why we are being forced to take this. Even if we think that wasn't there was any dirt that is being tried to cleaned forcefully , would the reality be changed ? These are people who are part of high elite societies that want to present their clean eyes before us. Why we are being forced to understand that there wasn't any mess. Even if we are forced to learn that will the reality would change? Absolutely not.

This time it will matter, and must too and public's response will come to them sooner or later in one form or other. It could be public's decision in elections or public frustration in violent form.

Well leaving the dirty politics; it is important also to have concern over dirt spreading in European skies from past 15 days. The volcanic eruption happened on a island in Iceland , the skies above it were utilized enormously for trans-Atlantic airlines. After the eruption happened enormously amount of shoot, dirt and ashes started spreading in skies like a enormous dense cloud. This affected airlines. The loss airlines companies are facing is even bigger than the one that occurred after stoppage of public airlines after 9/11 attack. More than 16 lac passenger's tickets have been canceled and enormous passengers are still stuck somewhere. Eruptions have stopped now but still it is risky. This is a message by nature that how cruel it can become. I am not saying eruptions are occurring due to some human activity but I am saying humans should give space for everything, we should give space for forests, we should give space for rivers, ponds, we should give air for volcanoes too. The sky above volcanoes should be left alone, they should not be used to enhance monetary benefits and utilized as air routes. So, volcanoes should be given some air to live. Already lots of hyped Global Environment Conferences were organized but when it was time for taking serious actions for future; human greed takes over everything.
  
I hope all dirt gets settled down as soon as possible.

It's Showtime

The picture below is not for comparison; it's just to enjoy the spirit of PRINCE

I was waiting for a long time to write something on this cool movie but got stuck with Artificial Intelligence paper. The coolness of movie can't be expressed by a mere blog post but a detailed thesis can be done for it. This movie will be remembered for years not for showing high profile intelligent diamond heists but for setting benchmarks for making a perfect action movie.

 First of all let me congratulate the producer on having the intellectual capacity to not add a kooky subtitle in an attempt to make it ‘hip’ and ‘happening’. Something like ‘Prince – The Yuvraaj’ or ‘Prince – The Raja’ or ‘Prince – Ek Chota Rajputra Ki Badi Kahani’.

Main attraction of the movie : Tattooed version of Nandana Sen , a villian named Sarang that has a Terminator style super arm.Vivek Oberoi as the lead "Prince" has the easiest role, his lack of acting prowess is shielded by the repeated head-holding and falling-on-ground sequences 

 The movie opens with a shot of the heavily secure swanky multi-storey headquarters of the Diamond Corporation of India(DCOI), which has more gadgetry and security systems than the FBI and CIA put together. Let us put behind us that there are such establishments in the country and also the fact that they offer free tours of their security systems to every dork disguised as a sardar.

He then suits up in the lamest leather available and hides in the air-ducts, not before uttering the 2nd best line of the movie,"I’m in and it’s time to win“. After having navigated laser beams, fingerprint mechanisms he uses a laser pen to cut through a window, which in the previous scene was described to be strong enough to resist a powerful bomb blast. That’s not it, for there’s a giant vacuum cleaner that doubles as a periscope and reaches the top floor window from a van outside. You’d assume that he’d just bag the diamonds and then drop them into the van, but in what is the flavor of the season they are vacuumed into the van from the top floor of a multi-storey building. Just so that you can estimate the height of the building, in the very next scene while being chased by the guards, Prince base-jumps of the building and pulls the ripcord of his parachute to land safely on the van. If you’re reading this with your mouth wide open, then hold on to that expression for a while. This was only the opening sequence before the titles take over and Atif Aslam wakes you up from the CGI-induced slumber. “Oh mere khuda” indeed, but only for making such a movie with the craziest indipop album type music video.

Prince suddenly wakes up with a bullet lodged in his arm, unable to remember a thing and the only thing worse than his lame expressions is lines like “main kaun hoon, main kahan hoon..........Meri yadaasht aachanak kaise chali gayi”.

Prince is now sought after by the CBI and two white collar dons for he posses information about “The coin”.So if you’re wondering how Jason Bourne finds the coin and takes it to destroy it, then you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Turns out that there are three women vying for his attention claiming to be romantically involved, each with an even interesting back story.What is even more interesting is that each of them is named Maya and has an ulterior motive with the coin in question.
Now we have Maya-1, a  club dancer and Maya-2, a CBI officer. As Maya-2 enters she proves maya-1 as fake, later Maya-2 double crosses Prince as she is a partner of our Terminator villian but before anything happens to Prince,  Maya-3 has a introduction scene where she rains bullets from machine guns strapped to a hand-glider, followed by more bullet rains , bike flying sequences that will give complexion to Rajni and BalaKrishna. Maya-3 presents us with a killer back story where in, she and Prince collude with the CBI to stage the funkiest robbery ever known. Turns out the coin is a facade for carrying a embedded chip developed by the country’s top biotechnologists, and it enables downloading the entire contents of the human brain downloading the entire contents of the human brain only to replicate them and upload them into another. Prince is strapped to a chair and his brain is mapped using the chip, the progress of which seems to go faster than what it takes winrar to install on a machine. What about the fact that the human brain can store  terabytes worth of data, were they lying of is Prince pulling a fast one on you? I found it weird at first but then realized that if you’ve signed a movie like this then surely you only have enough grey matter than can be downloaded under two-minutes. That explains how they did an format disk on him and the so-called seizures he gets. The reason I use computer jargon here is because, it is the closest to equating system-crashes and reboots to his brain trying multiple unsuccessful auto-restore.

More unintentional comedy ensues with Bond style chases, gunfights and CGI-mockery before he finally finds the coin everyone is after. This is where Maya-1 gets bumped off  not before the best line the movie is used, “maine uske aankhon mein laalach ka virus scan kar liya tha”.
An absurd climax sees Maya-3 decimate Maya-2,  while Jason Bourne and our Terminator Villian engage in a duel on an overturned vehicle going downstream which is drifting into a humongous waterfall.  Prince rips apart the iron-fist and uses his mini-harpoon to cling onto a nearby chopper, leaving Sarang to fall to his fate.

I know by now nobody even cares but it’s time to pick up the shattered pieces of our brains around the chair and recover from his high tech heist saga that will be unforgettable for many years unless it's sequel comes.


A note to all CBZ/Karizma lovers who are mostly fans of Vivek Oberoi as well, doing a wheelie while with your girl too on bike then looking romantically in her eyes is not probably the best idea because you may want to keep an eye on the road as well.

आँखें हटी,दुर्घटना घटी  

Lastly, I don't care now of writing a crap blog post because there are people who could have donated money to noble cause rather than investing 50 crore bucks in making the lamest Desi-Matrix till date.

1st April : Is it really funny

 Europeans started April 1^st as fools day on behalf of confusion over new year's date. Centuries past and people transformed it into varied versions. MTV India started Bakra Din in late 90's and carried on April's fools day.

To Indians it is a very important day also because it marks the starting of financial year. Banks are busy day and night auditing their entire last year's records. It marks starting of new session in schools.

If we want a day to enjoy it as a fool's day then almost everyday we have many instances. CAT was a joke which IIMs played when they made it online and questions repeated again and again, servers crashed and havoc was created just because few people felt pen and pencil test is not so cool. Mayawati played joke to democracy when she wore a garland of notes whose total worth was in few crores, she made a committee to find how bee hive was present near his lavish rally when a town in Uttar Pradesh was burning in Hindu-Muslim riots. My College usually does jokes to us on regular basis, don't wanna get started on that. That's not enough there are numerous instances which I can point out but it would be better in leaving those.

After 7 years, today India kicked off the national census of its billion-plus population with a 2.5 million strong army of census-takers fanning out across the country to conduct what has been billed the world’s largest administrative exercise. Over the next six months, census-takers, or ‘enumerators,’ will travel across more than 630,000 villages and over 5,000 cities in the country to visit every structure that serves as a home to put together a national data base.This information will be used for creation of Unique Identification Number. Every Indian will have a number; long ago saw a Abhishek Bacchan's IDEA advertisement "Ab har koi number ke naam se jana jayega".It will now be a reality very soon. From skyscrapers to tin shanties, census takers will note details such as the availability and sources of drinking water and electricity, and the type of construction material used in your house's floor and wall, how many phones are there in family and internet users and internet connections. Today saw this form in news channel and was wondering how much governmental interference is being increasing day by day. The information is quite sensitive that's why it feels sometime that Government is interfering in our lives.

If we are concerned with Government interference then sometimes it never bother to interfere also , best example is when Narendra Modi never became interested in interfering when entire Gujrat was burning in riots.  Few days back finally  he was questioned by the Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team and today there are signs that Nanawati Commission might question him too. The heat of fire that burnt Gujrat is now seems to showing some impact on Modi who is constantly trying to be Mahamta Gandhi via his blog.

Also today is a very important day to all Indians because Right for Education is implemented. Now children from age 6 to 14 years will get necessary education. Education will change drastically no doubt. Though still there are issues like there are schools which are producing "Bhartiya Nagrik" which start their life as clerks or constables and maximum rise to senior clerk or Head Constable. There are also schools which are producing "Indian Citizens" who join corporate sectors and become Vice Preseidents and CEOs. Right to education is nice policy but right to same type of education is also important. Don't know if common people will be able to educate their kids in Dun or Scindia School or other prestigious schools. Hindi is considered to be Rashtriya Bhasa but still it's a Raj Bhasa. Most of the important work whether it is Governmental or Corporates or Technologists , English is used ; so English education is important too if we are not ready to open sufficient job gates associated with other languages.

Well ending today's newspaper discussions, still 1st April fool is going on. So still you can think that we can have more fool days.

This is Sister's Week. So all of you wish your sisters. Also this is Girlfriend's week too . Wish them too!!!

My class tests are over and I don't know what joke I have done in it. Don't know who is playing joke with whom during exams. Well it doesn't matter as overall it's a funny world. So be happy and be funny.

Happy April Fool's Day
