Trio of Various Decades in Bollywood

It would not be complete without mentioning the great stars who made the age old theatre into the digital form.Raja Harishchandra has now flown high in the form of KITES.The former look of the protagonist wooing the Indian Princess has now changed into wooing a lady from the far nation whom the yesteryears people would not have even dreamt of.

IPL------Indian Polluted League




what is happening in the cricket in India is not a new one in the sports fraternity in the world. The S-M-S(Shashi Tharoor- Lalit Modi-Sunanda Pushkar) episode has caught the attention of every cricket lovers in India. Why not ? Cricket is more than a sport in India. With the IPL in full swing it is catching attention of every one whether he is sports lover or money lover because it is giving everyone his bite. It has become the most saleable property and one can find the increasing number of viewership on the internet and the comments on various social networking sites. This speaks about the popularity of the game. Even Sir Don Bradman would never have thought in his dream abouch such a popularity of this game. The exemplary performance of cricket maestro Sachin has been faded by the recent corruption controversy of the SMS episode. The little master has proven his worth in the smallest version of the game. Long live Sachin-a belated birthday to him.

The other side of Sensex



Life is a race. Agar tez nahi bhagoge to pichhe chhut jaoge. Rightly said by Viru Shahastrabudhe in the movie 3 idiots. This is the truth about today's life. Today one of the biggest news is that the Indian stock exchange touches a new height and now we can say that our market has a good position in the world market but what is this world market. How many people know about this world market and stock exchange. Ultimately the ruling party has got the words to praise themselves. No doubt they will claim that it is their policies which brought this result. I dont know how far this is true but it has given a hope to millions who feel that if sensex grows up that means they may get good offers in the future. Majority of the jobseekers think like this. it will be difficult to see the farmers now a days even in the remote villages of the country because they are sending their children to the schools such that their education will bring hope to their families as they know well that agriculture and the land of Sone ki chidia is no more for them. They never got the right deal either from the govt. as well as from traders and it is better to switch over to other fields. This year the price of agro-commodities have got to the extreme level. the parties have started the blame game. I thought the farmers must have got the good profit in this scenario but I was wrong. As usual they got the least profit. When I talked to a farmer on this issue, he replied we dont have much to say in this regard as the things are not decided by us. we can only plead but we still hope. Hope this sensex give some hopes to them who eagerly wish to have their day.

Beg, Borrow, or Steal


Naxalites operate in a
vacuum created by
. inadequacy of administrative
and political institutions,
'espouse local demands
and take advantage of the prevalent
disaffection and injustice among t~e
exploited segments of the population
and seek to offer an alternative system,
of governance which promises
emancipation of these segments from
the clutches of 'exploiter' classes
through the barrel of a gun. This statement came in Yojana in 2007.
Naxalism is one of the gravest problem which India is facing right now.
Over the years when traditional concept of national security has undergone fundamental
changes, India is still wriggling with its age old structure. Is it because of the limitations of coalition governance in the last few decades? Or, is it because of an unfamiliarity of our
leaders with the basic concepts of National Security Management? This question was raised by Rajiv Mata Gr Capt (Retd) in his article on this issue.

hum tumse na kuch keh paayein



Perhaps these words would have come in the minds of the backbenchers in the parliament who were feeling that the reservation in the parliament will leave very less hope for them in the next general election. Democracy has over all became the number game. Even the Father of the nation Gandhiji criticised the democracy by telling that majority rules over minority. 51% people rules over 49 % people. This thing is quite visible in the Parliament too. The political parties who talk louder that they want the equality everywhere is just making a rift in the society. the empowerment does not come only by reservation. There were no reservation in the highest educational institutions like JNU and DU. But the recent admissions show their supremacy and higher number of strengths in some of the important courses. How did this happen?
Politics have always taken the attention of the common man in the Indian society. It has been a matter of discussion in the majority of the households in the country. They still feel that they are mere spectators in this episode.
the division of the society is still on. Earlier it was SC/ST reservation, then came the OBC reservation and now women reservation.Bhai ye desh to aarakshan pad tiki hui hai. Political parties right now know one thing that if you want to make the people forget their problems just find out the numbers of the community and talk about the reservation. people will forget poverty, hunger, unemployment etc. It is just a wait and watch situation. As the majority of the population of this country is below 30 years of age, they will either thank or curse their ascribed status because meritocracy is leaving its significance.

Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me Khayal Aata Hai


The city is built
To music, therefore never built at all,
And therefore built forever.
~Alfred Lord Tennyson
A composer of the music of the classical Umrao Jaan or the commercial movie like Kabhi Kabhi. He is gem of the bollywood music. Mohammed Zahur "Khayyam" Hashmi, who is better known as Khayyam by his fans is a great composer and defintely he desrved this award. Bollywood has been the source of relentless music for the Indians and undoubtedly Khayyam Saab is a great entertainer. I salute you sir especially for the words which were told by you during the Filmfare award ceremony when you said that you are still active and you want to carry on with this job. God must give you the strength and we are eager to hear some of the best tune from you. This is the devotion of such great human beings who worked continuously and gave such beautiful songs. A time when most of his contemporaries are leading the life of retired persons, he is still in search of the best tunes. if the name has some meaning then it proves with Khayyam Sahab as his name matches with Omar Khayyam.
He gave a new dimension to Asha Bhoshle when she sang Dil Cheez Kya Hai. No one would have expected then the singer who was more known for her romantic songa can sing ghazals too.He made this happen.A man who was born in Punjab had the understanding of the folks of Bihar and U.P. too. He had such a great instinct which can be seen in this song in "Kahe Ko Byahi Bides" of Umrao Jaan.
Ye kya jagah hai doston.................................

Mera Paas Maa Hai


Bhai tum sign karoge ya nahi. Bhai tum sign karoge ya nahi. These dialogues were the immortal words for the cinema goers and will ever be remembered in the same way
The youngest sibling of Raj was the most handsome of the three. It was told by none other than Shammi Kapoor. Being the youngest sibling he had the great responsibility to prove himself in the bollywood as the member of the most influential family of Bollywood during those times.
A smiling face with dimple in his cheeks and expressing dialogues while moving his head is a unique symbol of Shashi Kapoor. He has been one of the most handsome actor the bollywood has ever produced.
Be it Raja sahab of Namak Halal or Raaj Kumar of Jab Jab Phool Khile, he had acted brilliantly and excelled in this art. Ghoonghru ki tarah bajta hi raha hoon main. kabhi is role me kabhi us role me bajta hi raha hoon main.
This year Filmfare gave the prestigious lifetime achievement award to him and music director Khayyam. Both of them together worked in Kabhi Kabhi. the movie was super hit and songs were evergreen hit. It was painful to see Shashi Kapoor in wheel chairs. A well wisher like many of us will wish him good health. Wish you a long and good life
