X Press Ing Myself

Hi
Its always been a pleasure for me to entertain the more intelligent and intellectual minds on the other side of the screen with my eager mind on this side. Being on the track of slow blogging, I find it much appropriate to put my thoughtfulness. In doing so, I found another way, getting my letter published which were related to the issues discussed previously in this blog. Here are the snapshots of letters which found a space and got published in TOI, in chronological order.

This is one of the ways to express myself more widely.
Even though, these remarks by me are satirical in its nature, but I didn't find the better way to make it more conspicuous and approachable . And I am eagerly looking forward to get fostered with your feedback.

Thanks and Regards,

Chaiwala Knows It All

The time has come for our Indian actors to overcome this puerile act and show their maturity in taking the essence of acting skill to a higher level. Danny Boy has done that with Indian Cinema which we have never achieved, a meticulous depiction of the reality. Indian Audience is always Gung Ho with romance, comedy, action and other entertaining measures and find comfort in movies like Om shanti Om or Rab ne Bana Di Jodi.






But the time has come to listen and to the silence of the movies like Black and Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi which most of the time fail at the Box office and thus de-motivate our aspiring directors and producers.







Even small budget movies are able to move the masses. They are entertaining and successful in getting a good response. If we introduce the masses with the reality without spicing up the story, I am sure there will be huge response.
Directors and Actors have to look into the zest of the movie as it is one of the major aspects in getting the world attention. Movies like The Blue Umbrella deserve an applause, but on the contrary hardly anyone know it and same is the case with Tahaan.
I would like to mention some Hollywood movies which moved me. These are Seven Years In Tibet, Rainmaker, Brave Heart, Beautiful Mind, The Swashank Redemption, The Prestige, Life Of others and Into The wild.
Talking about Slumdog Millionaire, it is the movie which will now inspire most of the directors and ultimately add banality to the Indian Cinema. Well Danny Boyle has gained a wide attention among billions of Indians. He can try his luck in Indian Politics too like Baba..arre don't panics Baba is our Sanjay Dutt.

Amitabh jii mentioned in his blog that whatever shown in SM is the strory of every country. Well Sir, it is true. But the time has come to improve ourselves rather wasting time in comparing with others. The problem is with our society and when personality like you make such comments, it shows the indifference within us. Please don't spread the words of pessimism. We need to understand the problem and help to root it out.

Some of the major aspects of a movies like direction, action etc. are undergoing a revolutionary period with many directors and actor playing each others role. I wish this would help Indian Cinema to be in a global arena.

ABHINETA SE NETA

Well its not new to see Actors and their better halves sharing the platform with big wigs of Politics Inc. This trend dates back to the time of Dev Anand when he laid the foundation by floating his own party during the Emergency in 1975. But his commitment to bollywood made him to dissolve it. This is not the sigle case but it happened many times when actors contested the election and do unjustice to the contituency. We all know about Big B's 1984 win from Allahabad when he too failed to carry out his political career. And Govinda's reluctance, rather his filmy career, even bound him from marking his presence in the Parliament. So, are we the Citizen of India justifiable in electing these celebrities to represent ourselves? To represent the people, one doesn't need to be a responsible citizen alone but he must feel himself to be a part of the mass which these actors lost while upbringing their Filmy career. But I wish Sanjay Dutt will dedicate himself to represent Lucknow at the National Forum, the place he hardly frequented to
before.


What does the above picture suggests?
Actually he is asking for votes and the police around him is his security guard.

Here too thanking his securitymen for being so kind to him during his tenure.



Whats that? He truly deserve to be a politician.

Year of Insurgency- NE States

Report says around 570 people died in J&K in the year 2008 and while approximately the same number of innocent people(500) died in Manipur during different terrorist and militant strike. If we talk about number of blast then I guess Assam has a go in this. Now the subcategories:
Cycle Bomb Blasts
Thread Bomb Blasts
IED Blasts
RDX seized
Militants arrested
Militants surrendered
State with maximum no of naxalites
MLA involved in naxalism
and the list goes on.
These days we see the Indian of the Year, Player of the Year award but the days are not far when we will have Militant of the Year or the State with maximum reports of insurgency and so on.
I don't figure out that even facing so many blasts in Guwahati alone, why didn't the Govt. of Assam do anything. Is the pressure on Govt. from militant outfits is more than from innocent people. Even yesterday we heard the news of blast there.
Govt. has already outlined the States with highest no of insurgency and comparably peaceful in the NE States of India. Well I am sure they havn't yet decided the measures to be taken to minimize it. Arunachal Pradesh is another example which comes under the peaceful category. Is Changlang province of Arunachal peaceful? Militant activity is speeding up in Arunachal itself and the day is not far that it also comes under the category of Disturbed state.
So, its the time to go with a eradication act rather than discussing on it. And if the Govt. has not yet finalized its preventive measures then I guess NE region has to go neglected once again.

Please take action because handful of Americans have died.

Hi
Well there is nothing much left to be spoken about the inappropriateness and duality of the policies of world powers. I have for so many times wrote to the editor of TOI. But may be due to the aggressiveness of my thoughts which I put into words made them from not publishing the articles.
Countries talk about unjustified act of Israelis but what about Pak sponsored TERRORISM which is rather a proxy war
I have carefully followed the developments taken after Terror strike at Mumbai. Everytime we make mistake by leaving them unharmed. But being an Indian I feel the raging anger within myself. Well atleast not this time.
Being a Mumbaiker once I know the "Neversaydie" or "Back on Track" spirit of them. But is this spirit responsible for the inactiveness of our Govt. in the past? Ofcourse not. But whats that force which made our hibernating Govt. But now I come to know why Indian Govt. is taking so much interest and showing promptness in the killing of hundreds of Indian who became the victim of handful of terrorist because our so called Friend USA has lost her citizens too.
Well my intention is not to divert our mind from ongoing and longlasting tussel of words with our Paki counterparts but this is the issue which will be there.
If we talk about dialouges with our neighbours, its going just fine we samething they accept and reject the same the other day. Well is this the dialouge we always talked about?
Our so called higher class have seen the terror strike of this intensity for the first time but for their knowledge our brothers and sisters in J&K faces the same every month.
This my earnest request from the medium of this Blog to all the Citizens of India to wake from their deep slumber and think and act by looking for the urgentness of the situation.
JAI HIND
