Paa..

After along time, again a movie compelled me to write down something at this late hour. I always gave a deaf ear to the complimants given to Big b... I never ever felt him amazing other than in few of the films. Now, today , i was awestruck with his unbelievable performance. He is simply superb and unbelivablelly cute,Yes he is cute as Auro in this film.
Special mention about R.Balki , the director of my fav film "Cheeni Kum", he got his own kind of style with the dialogues which are making his films subtle n sweet.
ILayarja's Background music...
Vidya Balan's ease....
The pleasantness of the environment ....
The cool Screenplay...
The perfect Abhishek bacchan...
The realistic cinemautography....
Loads of emotions...Subtle Experssions...
Tilt of humour...Loads of Fun..
collectively are called "PAA" .......

Music is Dangerous too......

“life is very short , filled with so many beauties around that, one’s whole life will not be sufficient to feel everything” this is what my aunt used to tell me always….. Whenever petty issues are bothering me to a larger extent, I am often reminded of this.
Last day was one such day and I was in a very big mood off… was reluctant even to move..just wanted to lie down and cry until I realize what actually my problem is  ( Heard somewhere that, 99% of the times , people don’t understand actually what’s their problem is all about )…. Got down from train and was listening to some music all through the journey….
Somehow as soon as I got down…coming out of my bothering thoughts..felt like listening to one of the very famous tamil compositions of Ilayaraja “Pani Vizhum” which is always marked a star in my collection..
Tuned the IPOD to play it, and went out to take out my Bike from the stand. Usually as soon as I get onto the bike I will switch off the IPOD and keep it back in the handbag for all vivid reasons…
I was then very reluctant to stop that track… So just started the bike with headphones helping out in drinking that running mellifious melody… my sad face started turning its colors….
My heart started pounding and my mind was still thinking about the running issues…
IPOD got tuned to Geetanjali songs… Howcome Raja composed them in that way…. Even after 20years still every track is fresh and special….
My heart succeeded in shutting the doors of mind… was completely into the track and was literally jumping on the bike moving head here and there along with the Hands which made my bike go on a twist and turn kind of ride on the road as if I am alone on the road…..

Till now I know Ilayaraja as GOD of music…but last day he also made me understand that he can be dangerous and be a reason for road accidents

Imagine the pleasant morning.. You wake up and open the eyes to see the running sun into the room….yawning..rubbing your eyes get up searching for your IPOD and switch on “Aamani Paadave” which starts with the chirp chirp of birds bringing the pleasant humid breeze atmosphere into the heart…. Melodious magnificent balu voice…tantalizing flute … with the changing seconds ..morning is becoming more pleasant leaving more and more enthusiastic day ahead….
After a teird and disturbed day…..
When you are on the bed resting …. Your speakers are playing “Om Namaha” for you… balcony door is slightly opened and chilled breeze wants to play with your ears along with the playing track….
You are unaware of the reason behind the excitement running in the veins and nerves….is it the wind or is it the Track….listening with your 3 ears..third being your heart….
Opened door of the heart started singing along …… at the last ..a big sigh and disappointment on the sooner completion of the song……
Slowly… completely …. Getting into the lap of sleep…still ears lingering the same beat and melody…..Unforgettable Balu voice……


Oh there we are…on our way going into a another pleasant morning with Music…
With Ilayaraja…..

If he is GOD then Music is a Religion

Anand

Rajesh Khanna’s Anand….
Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand……
Amitabh Bacchan’s Anand…..
Salil chowdary’s Anand….
Gulzar’s Anand…..
Mukesh’s Anand…..
Yogesh’s Anand…..

The real hero’s of this film are ..Rajesh khanna..Gulzar ,Salil chowdary and Hrishikesh…for their wonderful action, dialogues ,music and Story respectively.

Story starts with a Young doctor Bhaskar Banerjee ( Amitabh Bacchan) who is very passionated towards his profession and Nation as well. Unhappy with everything around..Starting from the patients ill health to the poverty around….his anguish comes out of his helplessness to save people around…
Very short tempered,irritated,silent young doctor..who always vent his anger on the pages of his diary…..
Dr.Kulkarni( Ramesh Deo) friend of Bhaskar who is a cool and composed person who knows to be a roman at Rome….Keeps on making money from rich for whom a assurance of one or the other health issue should be there every time ,which is a kind of medicine for them….
But Kulkarni is so kind hearted that, he takes care of all the patients who are poor and needy…..
On one fine day kulkarni tells Bhaskar that their common friend at Delhi who is again a doctor, referred a cancer patient to him, who is a friend of his, and he will be with them for another few months as he is orphan and would like to stay in Mumbai.
When Bhaskar comes to know that the patient is in the last stages of cancer and would have his last breath at any time, gets pissed off because of that non medical aid cancer which can be recognized only at the last stages and when diagnosed will get nothing much to do other than waiting for the death of the patient.
Right at that moment, Anand ( Rajesh khanna) steps in…with a white paijama and a bag, waving to Dr.Kulkarni ( Whom he met already at his doctors place)…. Addressing him as “Dosth……” …..the entrance of Anand is more like a strong cyclone….he goes on talking talking talking talking…listening to whom we feel breathless for a while..in 2 mins he talks more than 1000 lines….about everything ..Starting from how are you…to the point where in he irritates Bhaskar …and ends up in impressing bhaskar in the very next few seconds…
When he enters..Dr.Kulkarni and Bhaskar will be discussing about his health condition by seeing his X-Ray.. knowing which Anand in his style starts cracking jokes. by asking “Tell me what’s going on…what is the name of my problem….” , Bhaskar as he is already heavy hearted to see a person in front of him, who is going to die in no time, gets irritated with Anand’s behavior and shouts on him asking “What do you want to know??
Anand answers in a very innocent yet sensible way by telling “ It means that I am in my last stages and will die very soon, and more pathetic thing is even you will die after 60 yrs..no use…for sure you will die”
If this sounds pretty dramatic when you read this, then the fault is mine but not of the director or actor as it is perfectly portrayed in the film ,if not penned in this blog.
Story goes on and Anand with his funny and mischievous behavior makes you laugh along with him … you will forget for a while that you are watching a film.
Time comes in where in he gets close to everybody around…starting from the doctors to just any other person going on the road…
A special mention of a concept in this story is…
Anand when goes on road….simply goes ahead and will pat on any person on the road and will say “Murari laal… bhulgayaa hamko” ( did you forget me murari laal? )… when the person tries to deny his identity as murari laal…he will still seriously try to make him reminded of their acquaintance which doesn’t exist in the first place….
After a few time he will say to the other person.. okay let it be..though you are not murari laal..still we now know each other right? So now give me a shake hand and lets become friends…
But the way he pats on the back of ppl is something which makes every one for a moment to believe “if he really knows him?”
At one instance when he is with Dr.Bhaskar and when he does the same… Bhaskar asks him why he wants to do it when the guy is denying the identity…
Then answers Anand.. on the first hand I don’t know anybody by the name murari laal… but dosth..did this ever happen to you that you get to see somebody and you don’t like them at all for no reason..and at the same time you see some ppl whom you know nothing about but still want to talk to them , pat them get closer to them for a while???
It happens with me when I see ppl..so for ppl whom I feel like talking ..i do go and talk..life is very short so obviously it should be made sweet sweeter and sweetest

Some of the many heart touching dialogues …..
“Zindagee badi honee chaaheeye babu mushaair…lambhi nahi” ( Life should be big but not long)

Music of this film is to be mentioned especially as it carries a feel which you can never ever forget in your lifetime
Lyrics ofcourse make a difference….or rather add’s flavor to the wonderful music given by Salil chowdary sir…
The lyrics were written by Gulzar (Maine tere liye, Na jiya jaye na and the poem Maut tu ek kavita hai) and Yogesh (Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye and Zindagi kaisi hai paheli).

At the last….Anand dies of Cancer….of course as expected….But when he dies….he will make you cry for sure..
I have seen friends who on listening to me about this said..No way, I will not cry…and I made all of them watch this film….They cried ….some for a moment..Some for a while….some with floating eyes..some with pounding hearts

Recently I made all my friends watch this along with me, they met Anand, they liked Anand and they cried on his death….
The CD came to an end but none of us were ready to make the first move, everyone sat at their places, knowing nothing lucid about the running emotion of that moment. Everybody were wiping tears and feelings. Then Rang my mobile which killed the silence….

That’s Anand… Babu mushaaairrrrrrrrr

MEDIA...The Misused Weapon

Media..The One Weapon which alone can fight all the Powerful things of world....
Media..The Weapon when used properly yeilds fruitful results
Media..The Weapon when misused creates horrible DESTRUCTION
My Indignant towards Media started when i got to see lot of FUSS its making out of everything thats useless...
When some blind school girls are raped and assaulted, it was not a big news….
When Amitabh Bacchan had a leg sprain..its a news…
When Chennai Law college students were bet to death,it was not a big news….
When RamGopalVarma visited Taj…It was a news…
Let me list out 2 incidents just to give a Example…...
Satyam….What a FUSS it was…..
I work in a building which is quite next to Satyam BPO…
The day when Ramalingaraju resigned, with in no time, all the media gathered over there in front of that building….
Security Gaurds were ordered not to allow any one from media into the premises…
They all waited for along time standing infront of the Building…
Cameraman and Photographers who havent had much work to do,started taking snaps of all the people,who were coming out from Satyam building…
Obviously employees will come out for a break and will stay out of the building and will have a cigar ….
Snaps of those employees were captured
As its Satyam BPO…employees will be coming in shifts and female employees while going back through their cabs, will have their scarfs arouns their faces to save themselves from the pollution around… So even on that day, they had their scarf’s and came out from the building after their working hours and were getting into cab’s…
Snaps of them were captured and published in many news editions stating that “Satyam Employee are hiding their identities inorder to escape from Media”….












The fact MEDIA needs to understand is, though Ramalingaraju resigns..though he is going to rule the whole IT industry..Though he is going to make a fraud…Still the Hyd pollution remains the same and one needs to use scarf to protect themselves from having a hair loss n Skin Problems :) …..
We do understand that poor media was anxious to write something about Satyam on the very day, and they were neither allowed to intreview anyone from satyam nor permitted to get into the premises….But that dosent mean that they are free to scribble anything they want to…..

Coming to TAJ terrorist attacks…
A really intresting stuff to write about….
I never deny the fact that few news editions like Eenadu( Telugu) and The Hindu wrote quite sensible stuff about these attacks..digging into details on how these people were able to get into the state and what were the hinderances for police to stop those disasters..so on so forth….
But the same media made a MESS of Ramgopal varma visiting TAJ……
Why is it a news at all??? Media was so intrested in telecasting this piece of information in all possible ways….
Wrote that RamGopalVarma is going to shoot a film on this Terrorist attacks for which he wanted to visit Taj Aftermath…..
Which ofcourse Ramu defied in his blog…
For a while, lets believe that what all Ramu was accused for was true, still a simple question…
When Thousands of people were brutally killed over there
When So many commando’s lost their lives in battles
When Politicians are spewing their venom ….
In between all these vultures ..is RamGopalVarma visiting TAJ a bigger issue to be talked about?????????????
If media believes that they are Zapping injustice by writing about such incidents making them to be issues…
Then let me ask Media to take a challenge……If you really believe in yourself and if you really have the real GUTS then undress the injustice that’s prevaling in all the sectors of Government and all the parts of world..
Make a noise on behalf of people who are being brutally killed for no reason
Make a noise on Bribe which is a big conspiracy
Make a noise and bring the awareness in people about lot many prevaling issues of the country which needs immediate attention
Make a noise about the black money all over the country which if used properly erases poverty of the country for next 100 years…

Write down all the facts about land mafia…
Write down all the facts about whats happening with Govt and oppositions


Once I heard Abdul Kalam Sir talking about Media and he was saying , “I am always surprised on why our Media highlights news which are negative, than news which is positive.” He was stating some country and was telling that “ I got to see a big disaster happened over there, and the next day paper had some positive information of their country winning something in the front page. The news on disaster was there in second and third pages, this helps to keep the people spirits”
May be he is true….
Along with FACTS..positive writeup on the issue will raise the spirits of people.
A simply example is Satyam issue…
Other than giving facts, Media succeded in threating people by writing down that, “Heavy layoff’s is expected, Infosys declared that they will not hire people from satyam, So many clients are planning to withdraw their contratcs from satyam , TCS INOFSYS WIPRO are going to be benefited with this issue”

That’s called as Media HYPE….
Facts are…
• Satyam got 53000 employees ..out of whom close to 13000 are ghost employees…which makes the count come to 40000 employees.
Satyam declared a layoff of 10% which counts to 4000 employees
And that amount of layoff’s are already happening in most of the companies through out the IT world as part of recession.
• Infosys was in a plan to acquirw Satyam,after this incident they dropped the plan of acquiring Satyam and stated the same. Neither spokesperson from infosys nor Narayanamurthy never declared there disintrest in hiring Satyam employees
• All the clients of Satyam are there with this organisation from quite a long time… The Accounts may be Fake…Ramalingaraju’s profit declaration may be fake…But the amount of work they delievered is not fake…The fortune 500 clients they had was not fake….Their expertise in IT field for close to 25yrs is not fake….
The client who can understand this will not be going back from satyam, anxious and panic clients may go which may not be a big deal though it affects to an extent.


Apparently, all these facts were hidden by Media for their own solace….
If these fatcs would have been kept in front of the country the very first dayitself..then may be the ERP ratings wouldn’t have increased to that level for News channels as well as editions….

Economic crisis…Keep writing on this…but also do write about the +ve steps being taken or need to be taken to comeout of this….
+ve waves always work……


Dear Media,

Aishawarya Rai is going to marry Abishek bacchan….
Salman Khan wants to have 10kids now….
Will Saifalikhan marry Kareena?
Zero Size of Kareena is the hot topic in Bollywood…
SoniaGandhi is going to have dinner today at XYZ resturant…
Abhinav Bindre is now brand ambassador for Plasma TV …..



Please keep writing all those sensless news which is going to help you increasing your ERP ratings…
There are people who look for those kind of stuf..please satsisfy them too as you need to be good commerically ….( No sarcasam)

A normal citizen’s indifference is of no consideration..
But the same indifference from a Intellectual is untolerbale mistake….
Being a good intellectual..[
With your pen….
Instigate the Youth..
Instigate thirst for loyality….
Instigate the burning blood which alone can WIN the odd’s…..
You are into a mode of communication which is more powerful than it looks…
You can be the real HERO’s by bringing out the TRUTH……

You do have your own limitations which is very much acceptable..But don’t we think its better to be loyal to ourselves and to the country than to manipulate????



Don’t make even the sensible people make the statement “MEDIA SUCKS”
