Terrorists on strike!!

All the terror groups have called off terror activities in quake hit areas! Oh Waw.. how kind of them.. huh. I think they feel that Killing in J&K is their proprietery right and they will shut down their work when someone else takes the role.. be it even nature. I hope our so called secular people will not start a new story now. Something like, "Atankvadi bhi insaan hota hai. aur uska sabse bada saboot hai ki un logone bhookamp grast kashmiri ilakho me koi atank na phelane ka dawa kiya".. ughhhhh cant world be better someday.. sigh.

Paulo Hyderabadi

when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true That is what Paulo tells in The Alchemist.
Paulo is known world wide to write inspiring books which have changed millions of lives. Cinema sells dreams .. And our Nagesh Kukonoor has just done the same in Iqbal.
A guy from village, deaf and dumb. But dreams of making it big in Cricket, to wear that blue shirt and wear the Indian cap. As with any struggler or dreamer he goes through a phase where he decides to forget his dream.. cries his heart out.. and then life has answer.
He finds his guide.. Convinces him to be by his side and guide him to Indian side, Boy has huge amount of patience, persistence and most of all loves his dream. So much similar to Santiago in Alchemist. He believes his dreams, but when is frustrated and want to give up. Life sends a guide for him who takes him to his treasure. Paulo says life gives you answers only when you are desperate. Yes true, true in case of the boy Santiago, true for iqbal and very much true for Nagesh Kukunoor. He has matured as a director, from Hyderabad Blues to Iqbal.. A simple village , no BOLD talks, simplest but the cutest way of using Bhains for getting the right ball, Chitkule dialogues of the characters. Ohh a great experience. A wonderful movie. By the Way, why cant we see more of nasiruddin , he simply rocks. All in all iqbal is a feast , a simple fairy tale which makes you think, “yeah this can happen, y not”. Hats off Paulo hyderabadi

Shamit...

Shamit Tyagi, this name is not unknown for people who have followed Fame Gurukul.
In fact I was tired of such shows, India’s Best in Zee, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa challenge, Indian Idol and again Fame Gurukul on a very similar note. So I never was interested .
Last week I had been to my native and my sis is following this regularly. For the first time I saw Shamit’s performance. Ooooooooo.. kya voice hai, and he is soo composed when he sings.. I was very impressed, later I came to know abt all the developments in Gurukul. Shamit is accused of doing politics in Gurukul, he is accused of influencing other contestant’s mind.. Sick.. If they felt so, y dint they carry out an investigation?? Y abuse him in public. Javed Akhtar, how can such a senior person do such graceless job. He never missed an opportunity to insult him.. huh.. I saw one of the clippings later, where Shamit literally broke down. Ohh what a torture. !!! Great going Shamit still you manage to give the wonderful performance and you are safe this time. And hope u willl win the title.. please vote for him . Type SHAMIT and send it to 2525. ;) Hope finally truth and music wins.

Look how famous he is now :)

Shaadi Waadi haayo rabba...

The immense success of 'Desperate Housewives' has prompted me to think about marriage and come out with this post. I was zapped when i read that its a famous serial in India too!! anyways i am not here to discuss about that. if interested read Shobha De's column in 'The Week' (latest one).
I was just wondering what marriage is all about? A promise to stay together?? is that all?? I know there are 7 promises involved in marriage ceremony. But I wonder how true they are? We in India are proud about the emotional security we have. I often get to listen "Thank God, we dont have culture like THEM. We dont see divorces every day.". But does that mean all the married couple in India are happy. If they are together, is it their choice to be together? Is you your spouse with you becuase she\he needs you, loves you or bcoz he\she HAS to be with you!!!. (You know marriage is a divine commitment)Isnt the excitement of life lost? bcoz u have taken your spouce for granted. "I love you" tho door ki baat hai. its like we know we love each other. We are married. Huh

These days I am lil more inclined towards kannada songs. Specially the ones which have countryside touch. ಜಾನಪದ ಗೀತೆ. ಯಾಕೊ ಶಿರಸಿ ನೆನಪು ಬಹಳ ಆಗ್ತಾ ಇದೆ. ನಾಗಮಂಡಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ಯಲ್ಲ "ಈ ಹಸಿರು ಸಿರಿಯಲಿ.. ಮನಸು ಮೆರೆಯಲಿ" ಅ ಹಾಡು ಕೇಳ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೆ. ಸಖತ್ ಅಗಿ ಮನೆ ನೆನಪು ಅಗ್ತಾ ಇದೆ. ಶಿರಸಿ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಈಗ ಜಿಟಿ ಜಿಟಿ ಮಳೆ ಇರುತ್ತೆ. ಎಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಥರದ್ ಹೂ ಬಿಡುತ್ತೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ಡೆರೆ ಹೂ, Glady, ಅಬ್ಬಾ Glady ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತು ಎಷ್ಟು ಬಣ್ಣ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಮಳೆಗಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾರಿಗು ಎನ್ ಕೆಲ್ಸ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ಹೂ ಗಿಡ ತರೊದು. ಆರ್ ಮನೆಗ್ ಹೋದ್ರೆನು ಅಮ್ಮ ಬರೊವಗ ಒಂದಿಷ್ಟು ಹೂವಿನ ಗಿಡ ತಂದಿರ್ತಾರೆ. ಓಳ್ಳೆ ಸೊಪ್ಪು ಹೆರ್ಕೊಂಡು ಬನ್ದ್ ಹಾಗೆ ಇರುತ್ತೆ. ಆಬ್ಬ, ಎನ್ ಸಂಭ್ರಮ ಅನ್ದ್ರೆ. ಸೂಜಿ ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ಅದು ಬಿಡೊ ಕಾಲ ಇದು. ಒಂಥರಾ ಊರೆಲ್ಲ ಘಮ್ ಅಂತಾ ಇರುತ್ತೆ. ಒಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಡೆ ಅಮ್ಮಂದಿರು ಮಳೆಗಾಲ ಬಂತು ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಹಿತ್ತಲಲ್ಲೆ ಇರ್ತಾರೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಅಪ್ಪ, ಮಾಮ ಎಲ್ಲ ಎನ್ ಮಾಡ್ತಾರೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾ?

Long time again... but i think 'irregularity' is the regular pattern i follow.
Its been from past few days. Viral fever, so many tablets and now aftr effects of that. All my flat mates are goin home this weekend. Absolutely have no idea what to do. I am being too much dependent on some people of late :(. Wednesday I am planning to attend my ex-colleague's wedding. May be i will have chance to meet every one.
Read a book recently.. it says everything in life is there bcoz u have chosen it to place it there. Quite dont agree with that. What if my life is affected by the decision other person makes? Is it my fault to attacch my happiness with the other person's life? If we attain that level of detachment what is the meaning of relationship?? Uff i am too confused. As always, confusion prevails in me :)
