Movie: Dev
My views: Dev is a beautifully made film. None but the evergreen king of Bollywood could carry it off so well. Ably supported by Om Puri. The film rests totally on the able and sturdy shoulders of these two wonderful actors, both of whom surprise u with each performance.
Set against the backdrop of communal violence, political gains and the diverse personalities in the police force, Dev gets off to a slow start, giving u brief inputs to each character of the main plot. AB is Dev Pratap Singh, Joint Police Commissioner who has firm faith in the constitution of the country, and nothing can come between his duty and protecting the nation. Fardeen Khan as a to-be lawyer, turns towards the jihadi's after his Dad succumbs to an unsuspecting Police Bullet. He thinks AB's at fault, after he suspects the 'minority' community to be involved in Jihadi activities. Fardeen makes an attempt on AB and wife, Dr Bharati (Rati Agnihotri). There is Kareena, whose Fardeen's childhood-sweetheart (obviously), watching the whole world of violence and anger around her, and has to face the wrath one day, when her family is wiped off in a riot.
The movie revolves completely around AB and Om Puri, where they both discuss the political scene and the changes that need to be done. That's the most interesting part.
Dialogues by Nihlani and kafi Azmi are good. Aadesh Shrivastava's tunes and Zubin Balaporia's background score are in perfect tune with the movie. Sharmistha Roy's excellent production design and execution. Kareena has done a ok job as far as reciting the song goes. She better stick to acting.
Overall, a good movie. a must watch. AB fans are going to fall for him all over again. Credits go to the entire cast for giving a commendable performance.
A Book: The third twin
This suspense thriller from Ken Follet, is a good read. Its got all that tension that goes with a Ken Follet novel.
Dr. Jeannie Ferrami, is a young professor at Jones Falls University (JFU) who is investigating the balance of nature versus nurture in criminality. She's such a genius that she has come up with a search engine, which can fit into a floppy and is multi-os compliant...wow wow woww to her. Anyways, searching through the databases, which her ultra smart search engine, find 3 people with the same DNA. Alaw student at JFU has an identical twin (raised separately) who is a convicted rapist. She is not overjoyed, however, when that man is arrested for raping her best friend. Surely Mr. Perfect couldn't be guilty--enter the evil masterminds, three Nixon-era comrades who have been toiling for decades to make America safe for racial purity. It's bad enough that one of the conspirators is Dr. Ferrami's boss, but another is eyeing the Oval Office. The Prof. catching their secrets, sends shivers down the spine. A good read, a true Ken Follet thriller.
A Restaurant: Bombay Post
The posh new eating joint of Bangalore, Bombay Post, is a good place. Surely Bangalore is coming of age as far as good eating joints are concerned.
A typical North Indian cuisine, a little high price, but enough quantity to fill ur tummy. Taaza ganne ka raas along with Palak starter, have u rolling for the rest of the serving. A good place, neat ambience and splendid old hindi music to accompany u.
So now, u know why my blogging is so irregular off late ;)
With my thinking cap on 24/7. On my way to grow wiser and richer in wisdom and experience.

Fast forward or Flash backwards
Bangalore touted as the most happening place, if i may say, is in bad shape. The rain last Monday, gave us the perfect picture of the wonderful drainage system that the city has. Death of a youth who stepped into the drain, was heart breaking.
I always read about the bad roads in town. The roads i drive on, aren't the perfect kinds, not many potholes and that kept me happy. After driving through Bannergatta Road over the weekend, i felt i was transported to a place which is worse than a village road. And to think of it, This road leads to the premier management Institute, has some hazar MNC companies along the road. Where are the authorities who are to lay the road?
I was told that one of the Software Giants whose office is housed on this road, offered to lay the road. Wonderful Gesture. But they were asked to pay a bribe (hold ur breath) of Rs. 10 crore...isn't this being real real greedy?
After that humpy bumpy ride, i thanked my stars for having safely lived through the trauma of that dirty patch of road. Back at work, first thing in the morning i read is this big piece on Bangalore and Big jobs.
So much for generating hype!!!

Hows life?
A regular question, which gets regular answers
Just as it was y'day
Going on
Absolutely no Change
Good
Tugging along
Wahi haadi wahi khaal (direct translation "Same bones same skin")
Bass guzar rahi hai (kyoun train ya car nahi kai kya?)
Answers are dependent on the creative genius of the person at that point of time.
When you don't know what to ask the person, either in person or on chat or through a mail, this question pops up. Answers come with smile, whine, twitch of the nose, the shoulders dropping, sighing, grinning. Innumerable emotions and answers to a small question which was asked sometimes with true concern and most of the time to just pull the conversation along.
Isn't human being a strange creature?

Rocking weekend
This weekend was once again Team Building session from office. Being in the enabling division of any company is good and bad. On one hand you get high visibility and on the other you will have to sacrifice for being famous (:-P). So there went my weekend with this team building, just that I had to be a team player and a co-ordinate too...Some dual role.
Saturday was the regular corporate games, cricket with a difference(first ball to be bowled with the opposite hand and such controlling rules), difference was quite much, we played in the rain...must say it was amazing fun. After an hours refreshing break, we started off on a treasure hunt, in places not thought off...with a candle, torches and mobiles in hand, we went around hunting for treasure. Hindrances were snakes, darkness, electric poles which were waiting to give someone a tight hug. An hour of this dark adventure, and what best way to relax...the dance floor. While most of them enjoyed the dance floor, lesser known mortals like me hit the bed just when the clock heralded the new day.
Sunday, wake up at 6 a.m is like a far off dream, but that turned into a reality y'day. The entire group of 35 ready and raring to go. We went rappelling. A small hillock, 80 ft high. The minute I saw the ropes dangling I wanted to run away from there. But as we sat there nibbling at our sand wiches and watching the instructor do it, it didn't look like a tuff task altogether (just look and thought here). After about 45 minutes, I decided to try this daring stunt. The harness tied around, all set, I go to the end of the cliff.....a there I go freezzeee...I just could not move, I heard my people cheering and asking me to move on, but my limbs just don't take the signal. At one point I feel, I am going to fall with a thud, just then I pulled myself up and came back...Breathed the fresh air told myself buck up and then got onto the rope and before I realized I was there down with my friends....the 5-6 mins of pulling myself down was something which I will never forget.
With another adventure story tucked under my cap, got back to the resort and then after a good breakfast and a equally excellent lunch, came back home to break my sleeping record, I slept for 14 hours at a stretch...Could not believe myself, but I did it.
Here again to face a crazy week :)

Confusions confusion...That's seem to be the trend these days.
The entire nation is not sure if they did the right thing by voting for a party, which has a legacy of some big names (for right and wrong reasons), and right now being headed by a foreigner. Everyone is skeptic about having a foreigner as a Prime Minister.
This is the talk of town, or do we say universe? Every office, nook and corner of the country is abuzz with election postmortem. How could this happen. A few interesting pieces which I came across.
Washington post, talks about The Upset in India. The editorial praises the Vajpayee government for their bold steps towards testing nuclear bombs, improving relationship with Pakistan and other nations. Describing the Gandhian hold over the country, they editor goes on to say the US-India relationship will suffer becoz of the new government.
The Gaurdian carries a interesting write by Ms. Arundhati Roy(remember her???), she says, Let us hope the darkness has passed . Ms Roy is surely not a supporter of the Left parties, she lashes the left parties for their overtly (but ineffectively) critical reforms, which has lead to their debacle. But as we celebrate, she also points out that the Cong and BJP don't have major differences over every major issue the country is facing. To quote her "We know the legacy of the Congress led us to the horror of the BJP. Still, we celebrate because surely a darkness has passed."
Our very own The Hindu, analyzes The meaning of the Verdict of 2004. The editor says "Without losing their head in any way, refusing to be fooled by grandiose slogans, keeping their eye on issues that matter ? above all, livelihood and national unity ? more than 350 million of them who turned out to vote have produced a big upset." They say that this is the first election after 1977 when the entire prediction have gone for a toss. Shows that the electorate is getting matured over the day (or do we say irresponsible?).
At one end of the globe people have given their verdict, not very far from us, condemnable activity has taken place in Iraq. Do we point this out to the drudgery of modern technology? Impact of this is very nicely discused in this blog
Is the future going to be good or bad, only time will tell.
Amidst all this I am also facing quite some confusions. 3 close friends are getting married all through the weekend, One in bangalore, one in chennai and one in Mysore. Each of them as special as special can be. How dI i attend all of them? Bangalore is no problem since its on Friday, but what about my dear city and Amma's city? A no will be the worst thinI i can do to them on their special day. Oh God, rasta dikha please!!!!
Eitherways, have a good weekend fella's, feels nice to make a long post after long :)

A excellent piece....
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday,
With all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
We cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow,
With all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time

This morning, Radio City played the evergreen, ever-wonderful, ever-romantic, song from Silsila..."Yeh kahan aagaye hum, yunhi saath saath chalte...". The weather cloudy, the light breeze and the song just blended so well giving it the perfect start to the cloudy morning....from then on, am completely hooked on to songs from that movie.
I am going to be cribbing if I say, its criminal to be working on such a lovely day. Why don't corporate's have summer vacation? As a kid I hated vacations, becoz I had no where to go, and now I long for vacations...what contradiction in life...anyways Life is beautiful :))
The below quote was sent as a Quote of the day from someone in wipro, reached me after going all over the world ;)
Usually when people are sad and angry over something, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

After 007, who services were availed by Her Majesty, now its the turn of Mr. Peter Parker to do some magic..
Calling Peter Parker
The California State Highway Patrol wants researchers to develop a "spider gun" that would quickly extrude a web, which could serve as an ad hoc safety net for stopping suicidal jumpers on the Golden Gate bridge.
Happy Weekend!!!

Going through a lull period these days, as far as "creative thinking" goes. Work as always is hectic, and the most to suffer is my reading and blogging, something which is of equal interest to me. And to add to it like a icing on the cake is my laziness...makes me think, Do I need a break? Away from the machine world? In the mountains, under the trees beside a stream....?????
