What do you think?

when something is new to us say a new person, a new movie, a new book anything that we have not known and we hear about these them from people, and whatever these people say actually has a lot of effect on how we perceive them, for instance there is this movie you have heard from somewhere and you check its imdb page and see its rated say at 8.3/10 or you hear about how good it is from a friend and you go on to watch the movie, i am pretty much sure that you will like the movie more than what you would have liked without you knowing anything about the movie, and you randomly saw it, the same applies if there is a negative sentiment about the movie, even though I am saying this to a movie you can as well apply this to when you know a new person, or anythign you have encountered before, you might say I am extending the adage 'First impression is the last impression' well in a way yes, but thats important is why have your though process influenced by anything like this? I would rather watch a movie I dont want to hear a thing about the how good/bad it is, I jus watch it and later check the rating to see if it matches mine or not, I dunno if this has made much sense but all I am trying to say is that we are much more influenced by opinions than we think we are and most of the times it might be counter-productive, what fo you guys think?

Trying

What do you do, when you see your dreams shattered when you feel the whole world crumbling down?? what do you do when you fail miserably and what do you usually do when it gets off your limits, well the standard answer that I get from myself and many others is that 'I Tried', heck you did cause nothing happens without you or somebody else trying so why state the obvious then you may ask, cause simply thats the truth, I dunno if this is making sense but the 'I Tried' is the only sane thing that you can make out of all the mess and chaos that you have put yourself in, and 'I Tried' is the closest thing before the result that you can say safely and feel good that you did something, so its always 'I Tried' that people talk about, well I know its not making much sense what I have written so again I will say, heck 'I Tried'

Of Emraan Hashmi and Salman Khan

Well well well, here I go again getting into my cussing shoes, for two most distinguished actors(supposedly), Mr Serial Kisser(Puker) Emraan _______ Hashmi(I hope he knows whats in the blank poor chap) and Mr Salmaan Khan(I hope the Mr prefix is correct too). The reason for my hatred with these two people is simple, they are absolutely overrated by the public, lets take these idiots one by one first lets start with the lesser overrated one, Mr Emraan Flush-me.

Mr Flush-me is the top 2nd over rated actor in Hindi film industry today, if you look back none of this losers films have ever been a hit(for true cinema lovers who dont but for story and other things care for a hit neither have they been any close to good), and if you observe closely enough you will also see that they have been popular musically, almost all of Emraan's films have been huge hits musically. Well if you ask me I see something weird here, how is it possible that almost every other movie can be so crap in terms of performances and story and everything except the songs? I dont know if many people believe what I do, that Mr Flush-me uses a simple trick before he signs a movie, he listens to the music and the songs of the movies he signs(and who the heck produces them another horrible xerox machine and pseudo intellect Mr Mahesh Bhatt), I dont see any coincidence as to why they have to be so horribly horribly bad and yet their songs can be good, dont you think its quite possible, I mean its quite possible that Flush-me knows that nobody comes to his films for HIS acting(for f*** sake accept it that nobody goes to his movies to watch HIM but to watch sleaze and the heroines). I dont even understand why, his movies have to have a pakistani singer every time?, why cant these guys promote Indian singers(is there any dearth for talent in India?) I mean why promote singers from a country which doesnt allow our singers/movies in their country? well many people might think I am prejudiced in writing this, heck if at all I am thank God I am.

Now coming to the loser par excellence Mr Sell-Maan Khan, well this guy is extraordinarily mediocre and absolutely lacks brains(yeah you would say which Khan has brains except Aamir ans Shahrukh[in a way] ), the truth is Mr Sell Maan has never done anything that deserves any praise absolutely nothing, thick guy seriously lacks basic intelligence. Like Flush-me his films have good songs but horrible acting and story(cmon dont cite examples saying for instance Partner was good it was total rip off of Hitch so lets not get into that cause the more we do the more you will know that none of his films were good), and talking about Andaaz Apna Apna, he has not acted in that movie but he had to play himself I mean he didnt have to act he wasjust told to be himsef in that movie :P, I agree though that Maine Pyaar kiya was ok but this loser has never done any cinema which jolted/inspired the audience, for instance being long Aamir has done some brilliant movies and Shahrukh a few too but Shell-man(cuz he is hollow) jus took off his shirt and did crap movies with horrible acting, and about his off screen image and behavior lets not delve into that, everybody knows about his loser.

So if you are a Salman or Hashmi fan post hate comments(what more can I expect from fans of stars who themselves lack brains?) and if you have logic/reasoning/intelligence I dont have to tell you what to write :P

Customer Care of the Govt of India

I know the first thing that comes to the mind after seeing the post title is whats new in such a thing, well yes its nothing as to what I am talking about, but even then its a lot different, well let me elaborate, When I talk about Customer Care of Govt of India it means having a centralized and common customer care to redress the issues concerning common people, I know right now Railways have a customer care of their own(which i terrible since it takes forever to reach to what you want), and other depts have online communication through mail, but when I say Customer care it means, whenever we i.e., the common man face any problem regarding any service that the government provides, or we have a complaint regarding anything related to the government or we are unhappy about anything we can directly call a Govt Customer Care(GCC), its like this for example the other day I was traveling to a particular place and in the middle of the road a Bamboo tree had fallen obstructing almost 7o% of the road, and this was hindering the traffic the fact that nobody was doing nothing about this except use their best driving abilities to manoeuvre around the tree on the road rather than doing something to solve the problem i.e., get the tree from the road, then I thought why is this happening? I mean there is a forest check post just 20 metres from this spot(which obviously is closed) still the tree lies there in the middle of the road, then I thought well the public cant do much even if they wanted to, whom are they gonna complain? where is the mode/channel of with the concerned Govt authorities? . All this led me to an idea that, why not have a GCC? I mean cell phone companies have it and we know the advantage of such a thing then why not the same with the Govt? I know it may not sound too tempting but believe me its not just about filing a grievance but when we do that we are actually registering a complaint which can be traced back at a later date and a responsibilty put on the Govt regarding a particular issue, this will help problem getting solved in a easier.

Taare Zameen Par - A Review

Well first things first,I initially thought of writing a review in a non-judgmental way and put across to you just my opinions and let you be the judge, but what hell before you read this review I wanna tell you a simple thing,YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE,its a brilliant effort on the part of the writer/Creative director Amole Gupte and Producer/Director Aamir Khan,hats off to both these guys they deserve a standing ovation,and now for a small review

Well to start with I am not gonna tell you the story(isnt that obvious),but what I am gonna tell here is,why you should watch this movie apart from the points I mentioned above.


1)The kid : In the role of Ishaan Awasti is Darsheel Safary who has given a mind blowing performance,I am completely at loss of words,believe me there couldnt have been a better boy playing this role,its just made for him,there are scenes where you will laugh,where you will cry,where you even become numb,so part of the credit goes to Amole and Aamir in portraying the emotions the way they have been shown,but Darsheel Safary deserves more than a pat on his back for his acting.


2)Sensible handling of the subject: This is something which I have seen rarely in a Bollywood movies,thats why Taare is a must watch,the way the subject and emotions are handled makes you want to hug Aamir Khan and thank him a zillion times for making a such a beautiful movie.


3)The story: I feel the story has played a major role in making the movie such a cult hit(after a few weeks its gonna be one), Amole Gupte who has penned both the story and screenplay and who also had donned the cap of creative director has done an outstanding job(though I feel he will be in the shadow of Aamir in terms of publicity),but nevertheless Amole Gupte is definitely the man to watch out for,btw I IMDb'ed Amole Gupte and it said he shares the writing credits for a movie called 'The Hangman' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417735/,I dont think its been released I would love to watch this movie for sure.


4)Overall performances : Everybody in the movie has given a performance which I am sure they themselves will rate amongst their best. Tisca Chopra as Ishaan's Mom is particularly brilliant,I am impressed for sure, and the Dad's role donned by Vipin Sharma came as a surprise I was kinda apprehensive in the beginning about this guy but he kinda proved me wrong giving a surprise performance,especially in the 'Hum bhi apne bete ka khayaal rakhte hain' scene and last but not the least Yohaan, Ishaan elder brother's role he too has given a natural performance,overall there is nobody in this movie who has given a mediocre performance.


5)Music and Lyrics(in other words the songs) : I think Prasoon Johsi is always the back office guy in the movies he writes lyrics since he is away from the media glare all the time(except for the awards he gets for creating those brilliant ads) ,I mean look at his lyrics they're awesome,not only is the poetry part but also the meaning and the way he puts it,but still he never hogs the limelight,I feel he is too underrated,especially the Maa song in this movie kinda reminds me the Maa song from Rang De(cant be expressed in words),and also Shankar-Eshaan-Loy the music director trio are at their usual best,with some catchy music and btw I got a chance to hear them live and they sound awesome.


Phewwww I can go on and on and on and on in praise of this movie,but I realize you need to watch this movie(if you havent seen it yet),so after this review(I hope its ok since its my first)
whats the base point then? simple Go and watch this movie,there is no way you can miss this,this is undoubtedly the best movie I have seen in a real long time(hindi movie)Chak De didnt appeal to me that much as I felt it was among the usual Bollywood Masala fare.
so watch Taare Zameen Par and be amazed.

HUM bLOG

Hi everybody,

I had been thinking for quite sometime of putting my stuff on the web to feed the spiders the prey they are looking for,I had opened a blog before but due the lack of many things I couldnt keep up with the updating thing,but I hope this time its gonna be different,lets hope atleast ;)

and btw Odd Man In, how does that sound? I had this thought that why is it that the odd man should be kept out(as is the phrase) so thats why the name.

so keep checking I will be putting a lot more.
