Where we Live : An Answer

I Live Here ...A life which is said to be lived is never lived . Isn't ?  And yeah , that's true , people never live the way it ought to be. Where we live ? is my question and the answer is a nostalgic feeling and a futuristic answer. Truth can never be hidden with myth. I sustain with the fact that life is lie to be tortured to understand the sanity in  it. 

Do we live in our emotional existence or in belief that makes a reality a myth. No one understands  the truth behind living and the fact beyond human life and its existence. We are not here to be bothered of atomic existence beyond life and we are just here to realize the need to live of the way of life. 

Delusional way of living is in fact the truth of life ,do we accept to be lived in a virtual space where truth is a reality amalgamated with myth. Or do we live in a reality with existence known only to the eyes. Do we ever tend to live beyond the capturing data of optical system provided to mankind. Why , in fact and reality people live in a delusional world thereby making others feel that they live in a real world. 

Do people know how to differentiate between the said lines? Do people enjoy the myth of reality without the truth in existence of delusional world? Moreover which is acceptance? I personally feel the reality is people live in the world which they want to. They want to in the sense the reality which they make up in  their minds. We live in  the world which we create in our minds and that makes the real world so happy to live in. That makes  this physical world just a carrier that transits the real world that we create in our minds. 

And it's apt not to read the last page of the novel that makes to come into reality. I Assure the life is meaningful.

As similar to the Beauty of the eyes can be compared to varied emotions a eye can bring forth , the varied emotions of landscape a human can see , i shall compare the eyes of my beloved and its beauty. The beloved eyes of my beloved are captured similar to the innumerable shooting starts twinkling at the dusk , just like my restless eyes to watch.

Your smile , my beloved shall be compared to the alluring grandeur of the garden with its magnificent beauty. The waves of blue ocean shall be compared to your thoughts which blossom as a beauty. Birds voice is yours and my beloved your voice is as sweet as cuckoo. Life teaches every human the innocence to live and that make my beloved to be in live with you.

My Life @ Payoda...

Life is all about transport of emotions, state and nature... And i strongly mean by the word called transition which has happened to me for the past year or so. I salute my association with Payoda and the realm of  separation , is start to write my thoughts.

Payoda , the name means Bearing Cloud... Post my transition from Satyam , i was looking for an opportunity to show my skills and the opportunity from the day uno i was provided to cultivate the habit of growing skills and with exceptional team and the management , it was all set for a new career opportunity to learn and to learn...

Technically apart i m here to explain my Life @ Payoda.... My friends,my outings , movies , best and worst time spent here ... this shall remain as a memoir for my future and cherish able time recalling philosophy...  and ...

Its nostalgia , not of your child age but of a year from now. I landed in CBE airport on 25th of November. Lodged in the mansion which is near to my office and happening place of Ram Nagar where i did stay for couple of months.  Bunch of friends , is always fun when you be here , i mean it ... learn to live and enjoy is the life i lived and i shall miss post leaving here a month from now.

There are times you feel , you were lost in life and suddenly you realize , the life has just begun. And sweetest thing is you cherish those memoirs not when you lose those but on the times you love to cherish them. That's life ... take life as it comes...  


My learning here in payoda helped me to develop my interpersonal skills , my communication and most of all exposed my weakness in man management. But , time taught me a lot. I m really happy that i was associated with giants of laughter , simplicity with exceptional attitude , lifestyle and so on. To live is to be simple is what i got to know from here and i really fathom the greatness amalgamated with this bunch of fellows.

Where to start and what to , is what you will always miss when you are around this bunch of fellows. We always are around with each others magnificent sense of laughter and sense of humor  , a way of life defining itself called 'Sillarai' meaning stupidity for fun. This makes life easier. With all time bound emotions to be carried in this life , I always this way of life made me to forget my agony of past and always taught me to live at this very moment . This made me to attain greater respect to meet the given task and with greater quality and mind you with always fun as the motto. This way of life , by this i mean , the way to live easily transformed each and every individual to attain all his planned aspiration and his epitome of elixir. That's what we need , isn't it? Why we are here?, aren't we are in this innocent planet to live as fun, excitement and to cherish the need to live. Yes , we are and hence we are here. 

Is the way of live which i allied to Sillarai  started with me joining or it was there here? Do we possess this as a hidden talent? Well , actually this is a hidden talent which each and every individual owns and they tend to be afraid to exhibit the same. Shyness makes them not to have fun. This is kind of fun which is more than the word fun. The way of life mentioned here is more than the word fun , and it relates to the extreme delight to be lived for. Extreme fun i mean here , by means of enjoyment , in work , in theater in food court , in travel from dawn to dusk. We lived, i lived and i mean the same to be lived by each and everyone of the same.    

without providing any kind of vivid description of my live and make you all , head swollen, i would make it as crisp as possible.  


Particularly when Kali left for Chennai yesterday , the mood here is very dull. We either the roommates or in office are really feeling dull. Kali , Bala Kishore and myself are roommates with Anand , ramesh , Logesh and Pradeep are other members of Sillarai gang. For us , life is fun and we lived as much as possible .


My relieving date is next friday and kishore to Follow next month. Others some time sooner shall join us in chennai sooner to continue our Sillarai Gang. 

With all emotions of Parting this organization , most important the people here , i through this blog mention my deep hearty thanks to all this sillarai gang for giving me space in their hearts.

This is for me Life @ Payoda...

Ravaan Music Review : Behne de jigar mein

Music review are written to express their interest after listening to a music album. Nothing behind me as a musical expert other than being a Producer of Music Album, i wanted to write review of this film and the reasons are obvious. Mani Ratnam , Greatest known director to Vaithee and that's me and ARR maestro . What else you need? Every time ARR composes for Mani , i get to remember AE /Yuva Episode of Mani not allowing to compose songs but wanted only BG Songs. ARR Proved no director in the world can remove his songs even his mentor and guru and founder Mani. Am i right or over expressive? i believe i m not.

Not deviating from the Topic , i m here in my blog to express my first impression on Ravaan (Hindi Version of Bi lingual Film) Music. Before it was set to release on 24th of this month Beera Beera was a block buster. 

Every Film's story line is said to be guessed by the songs. Now , by Name Raavan is the movie is today's adaptation of myth book where Ravaan defeats ram? i guess so when i read directors note in the films website and his own production house website.Well all songs provide us a feeling of chasing involved. Some kind of thriller or to say some kind of a game to be played  between Vikram and Abhisek for AIsh.

Well again rather than reviewing in order i shall order in my fav listed order.

First and  Foremost is Behne De..... Provided yet another Fantabulous lyrical feast and is always true when veteran Gulzar is around and Karthik my favorite singer and it was proved. Most important the music was soothing in ones heart with its tempo and u feel ... its the song to be listening millionth time in a day...Behne de mujhe behne de.. and literally i was thrown of my feat and i was moved with its excellent rendition

Next my favorite is ranja ranja .'Ranjha Ranjha' sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Anuradha Sriram & Javed Ali has mix sounds of Punjabi folk and remixed beats. Javed Ali sounds so different in this one. 

Rahman's favorite is up next with 'Thok de Killi'. With sounds of bagpipes and more chorus singing, the song is uplifting. Drums and bugles sounds make it seem more of a 'war' song. After 'Rasiya' in Mangal Pandey, Rahman is here again with song of same genre. 'Ranja Ranja' sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Anuradha Sriram & Javed Ali has mix sounds of Punjabi folk and remixed beats. Javed Ali sounds so different in this one.  

My Picks : Behne De, Ranja ranja and Beera Beera. 

WIth ARR not singing , i m disappointed and i feel with rich composition i m and my desperation to watch this movie has increased....  Waiting to listen Tamil version :-)

Rating : better than Guru... and not the best  4/5 and gulzar proved he is a veteran 

We Gang Trip to Athirapally

Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan , World’s one of the well known genius of Sufi and Qawalli singer, was born in Faisalabad in Pakistan. He was trained under his uncle Nusrat Sahib which is no mere coincidence but with his virtue of sheer knowledge and born talent, he mastered his born talent of Sufi singing and became world reckoning singer at young age. My intention of blogging on him was to salute his way of singing and mastering which happened to me , to listen some of the songs from Bombay Cinema. 

For MoTA its s well known fact that I have made myself a fan of Rahat , but eventually I wanted to take this opportunity to share my views on him and some of my favorites. I would start with mentioning the first song I happened to get mesmerize was the OSO song ‘Jag suna Suna’. OSO became a musical hit with all the songs beautifully filmed . Particularly I liked the song Jag suna suna which had rahat’s touch of brilliance. With exponentially beautiful style of Sufi singing it was made easy to look, but marvelously laid singing and was equally appreciated by the audience. Ore Piya from Aaja Nachle , Bolna Halke from JBJ and Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaaye from Kalyug and songs from Paap : Mann ki lagan are all my desktop favorites. I watched some of his live performance thanks to You tube and was amazed with his style of singing. Seriously he is blessed with great talent and is a genius and come from a family which is world known.

wEEKEND pASS tIME…

My last weekend was marvelous with entertainment. Though my weekend usually is one day week end extending till Monday afternoon, I enjoyed sitting on my bed and doing all these. Just a snap into this. After spending the way I enjoyed and also busy on weekdays, I just managed to write this post. Much is happening in Mot and I don’t want to miss my regular posts. Hence I decided to peep in the way I spend my last week end.

I managed to start my day with watching Vinnaithandi Varuvaya for fourth time in my laptop. This movie with my previous review on the same you could have gauged it, it has become my one of all time favorite movies. People who are not in for watching movie, please vouch for listening the songs the least and ARR won’t disappoint you. I bet. After romance I decided to change my theme to drama and i felt humbled enough on my enthusiasm after watching Rajni in Thalapathy directed by Mani Ratnam. I m not in for counting how many times I would have watched this movie and every time I watch this , this movie makes me feel , you are watching a movie of a Best known Director and a real super star. Music is by illairaja and I envy him. Though the plot is similar to Karna – Duruyodhana Friendship of Maha bharatha saga, the modern day themed epic was natural and it’s a typical Mani’s Film.

After watching back to back movies , I finished my breakfast somewhere down Sunday afternoon when you all might finished your nap after lunch.

Though a regular book / Fiction / Novel reader , it is ironic to start a book of Sidney Shelton for the first time. Yes First time in my life , my hands managed to read book written by Sidney. Started managed to complete a fourth of the book . Yeah vaithee, Sidney is not bad and you can ask motaites to recommend the works of Sidney. Then I managed to read the hindu, its special on Sunday and the only respectful News paper in English, I believe. I m also half through midnight children …. Review to come soon

Between movies and books, I did manage to listen to some music. Rather it became my all time hobby to play some songs. That usually happens with most of you. I started to listen some carnatic annamayya Kirthanai’s from abhisek rahguram and then started listening classics of ARR, my all time fav songs such as dil se re and Minsara kanavu and Connections when I was on drive. Jiya se jiya I bet is the best song when u are on drive. Kanner poventi (Malayalam) the list goes on.

did manage to watch snips of IPL and kamal Hassan interview in NDTV. Then managed to see the reality music show in star plus, not much in television front….

Spending time in movies and books with songs has become my aura in life and I feel , I managed to pass my time without having look into the watch. Life goes on.

Leader ... a Review

Leader … a telugu movie directed by Sekar Kamula is an exceptional and inspirational movie. Though the plot of the movie is based on a Harvard return young Chap who becomes CM and transforms the entire State, which we have seen many times in recent years, i vouch for the perfect treatment in the screen play and Man the hero … Rana (playing character of Arjun ) grand son of Established producer Shri . Rama Naidu with his aggressive tone and perfect dialogue delivery… He impressed me a lot.


The Story Begins with assassination of CM which is played by Suman . In his death bed he requests his son to be come the next CM. Soon after the Death of his father , arjun realizes how corrupt his father was. Whether Arjun becomes CM, How did u get his majority proven, what tricks he plays , How long he sustains , what he does to public… The Transformation from Politician to Leader is marvelously tracked in the ‘ma telugu talli song’ .

Background Song is awesome…. songs generally adds to scene in BG that sustains the pace of the movie…. Must watch movie just for the director who proved he is worth again… and to celebrate the next star Rana.

Gorgeous Love . . .

Hiding your face in the beautiful dress of sunset,

You reveal your soul as a full moon,

It is better you turn to face me ,

My heavenly love in store for you.

Are you the evening sun

Drenched in the cool waters of the sea

To quench your heat and glitter as gold,

And that is my joy when I see you,

Ever-beautiful moonly form!

… pedavol

Vinnaithandi Varuvaya … an abode of Love

Vinnaithandi Varuvaya…  Hey I say come down to earth, break from the space enter my heart I m in love … Vinnaithandi Varuvaya. Movie, Just from the scene alpha became close to my heart. Gautham Menon, Ace Tamil film maker scored an epitome in my heart and I salute him for providing such a beautiful romantic film. Essence of every scene is experienced by each and every heart in the living world which sense love. An extra ordinary screen play and high valued lust less romance.

Well technically, the movie is amalgamation with high listed panoramas – Exceptional music background score and re-recording by Rehaman, magnificent Cinematography by Manoj, Editing by Anthony. All the technicians involved must receive that imperative acknowledgment for their quality of film making. Lead actors have proved once again that stars know how to perform with ease these simple and difficult roles. Ease of screenplay was so romantic and I salute the director for whatever he has gifted for us.

Movie portrays a delicate feather in the heart of lovers and play conventionally in hearts of each and every one. Scenes seem to be you are in the film portrayal of the lead and it takes to umpteenth height of emotional equilibrium. No use to watch this movie if you know the story and it’s just a novel I trust to read upon.

 

A movie to watch and a movie to feel and be nostalgic. I bet you could even shed a tear or two in course of movie watching. Words are not flowing from my pen and I tell to myself  better fag of the entire day and dream with Deep thinking…

Three Idiots @ Review

Well, I seldom write a movie review and the fact of its excellence made me to write a movie review right after and immediate after watching the same. Verdict for a movie which was loosely based on five point someone, scored a ten-ner and made myself to do a standing ovation and claps. Yeah credit goes to Stunner Man, Hirani… and VV Chopra Himself. Aamir in excellence and Karena, Sharman and Maddy managing with the heights set by Aamir. Bommi My man.

Due to my official work i was to go late for this show and managed tonight, else my show was always First day Night show. Talking about five point someone, the one of Couple of books  i like written by Cult Indian Writers in English (other being anything for u Ma’m by Tushaar Raheja) , was an awesome experience in reading and was on hands of every college-goer … in my days  a hit by itself. Chetan Heroics measured heights.

Well Movie 3 Idiots is not entirely a copy or even we can just say it has inheritance. Hirani and Vidhu proved once again they are Best screen play writers and people who can give their gyan with Comedy romance (not much though) and thriller (not at all).

3I was a gyan on Indian Educational system and comical way of experiencing the bare truth people will make ages to understand, learn is far away. Something In India whose parents run after doctors and engineers, I salute and at least one will change and win. This movie is more of Comical gyan and i liked it and dare not to salute the same. Today’s generation who are going to join college has to learn a lot from this.

Filmy perspective, Best screenplay…which explains why Hirani, VVC, Aamir are hot cakes of Indian cinema. I would in a way say this as sequel to Munna Bhai, a college avatar.

If one could say first half was comical college life, second half was comical lecture. Salute… People like me and my friends who are doing everything to reach our creative goal having one leg in paid job, it pinches hardly in heart.

The movie starts with Maddy getting emergency landing @ Delhi airport faking Heart attack and starts his journey with pant-less Sharman in search of Aamir. Most of Comical adventures were inherited from book itself with gyan from Hirani himself. That’s the truth.

Couple of scenes from book I wished to watch, and i missed, the Key duplicating incident and Hari caught red handed… (Here Aamir gets keys from Karenna herself) and the incident and moreover the loser boy climax watching the convaction from outside tea shop. I really liked  the Manali Ladakh photography,could have been better.

It was emotional , I wasted my life Kinda feeling, when the scene of Prof Elder Daughter giving birth to a baby, with due help by Aamir and his mechanical brilliance in a flooded delhi. I salute the scene and particularly when prof hands him the zero gravity pen.

Well The review shall extend its course after me watching second time and every time i watch it. Must see.

Chennai India: Broken Bridge

This is a picture taken from the broken bridge in adyar, it earlier would connect the adyar with foreshore estate, across the adyar river. This particular bridge has featured in many Tamil movies like Vaali and Ayutha Ezhathu, the ones I’ve noticed the bridge, there are innumerable movies which have been shot on the bridge. During a season of heavy rains, a portion of the bridge was washed away, what stands today ends abruptly at the in the middle of the adyar river. This is one place in Chennai which I enjoy visiting, and frequently visit. Walking up the bridge, sitting at the edge, where it ends abruptly over the Adyar River, enjoying the cool breeze, while standing at the edge, or sitting along the beach just looking into the waves while sitting on the beach sand. Something interesting about the Broken bridge.

The Broken bridge spanning across the Adyar river in Chennai, for long a haunt will finally be mended in the Sydney style. The Government of Tamil Nadu has approved the proposal to replace the Broken pillars and spans of the Bridge. The 1966 built bridge was washed away in a flood in 1977. And now the bridge will be part of the proposed elevated corridor running along the coast from the Lighthouse to Kottivakkam on the East Coast Road. The architecture of the bridge will be based on the design of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, with two reinforced cement concrete pylons on both ends of the bridge and a steel arch running across which would amount to about Rs 32 crores ,says an official. This may take some time to take effect due to its budget and this may also be replaced with any other styles depending on an affordable budget. So, lets wait to see how the Broken bridge running across the Adyar river in Chennai is going to be replaced.

If you think Chennai is a peaceful and safe city at night, you are dreaming. Wake up! you have not seen the night life in this city. The Broken bridge: Do not go to this place after say, 11 at night. It’s a kilometer and half away from Besant Nagar beach, Broken bridge is a famous film shooting spot during day-time. But after the sun disappears this place will become more spookier. You will have to go through the Ollcot Kuppum to reach this place. You might see some romantic couples here in the early evening and some group of youngsters chatting but as it grows darker the place will become absolutely deserted, there will be absolutely no lights, just a bridge that extends into the middle of the backwaters and ends abruptly. The only people you could depend on for help in case of any problem are the fishermen from the Ollcot Kuppum. But chances are that you will never ever get them to hear you when you need help. The local fishermen tell that they hear the sound of a women screaming at night, which is believed to be the ghost of a women who was murdered here some years back. So if you think, you have the nerve to go for the venture. No problem! you can well go!! But I advise you to carry your ID. Will surely help police identify any bodies recovered from the spot next morning.

Let all be fine, for us this place is as sacred, as for the night out we do daily, this is must go place. The breezy beach with foreshore view , I enjoy this place. For me this must be place more than Elliot’s Beach. “Sand bars forming tiny islets. Trees of the Theosophical Society seen at a distance. The landscape has a dreamlike quality. It is like a no man’s land. It’s deliciously deserted.”

It’s deserted, unsafe and in a state of total disrepair. But the Broken Bridge in Besant Nagar, which runs over the tidal mouth of the Adyar river, is a visual treat. A Google search on the bridge throws up a chunky volume of work by shutterbug s. And it’s frequently featured as a backdrop in films.

Its desertedness is part of its charm — and also the reason why most of those who are aware of it, keep away. “Cut off and sequestered, the area is believed to be the stomping ground of anti-social elements. It has been in the news for the wrong reasons and is considered unsafe,” “Its landscape has interesting ups and downs and lends itself to off-roading, but we avoid the place fearing trouble.”

Indian Writing

Indian English literature is an endeavour of showcasing the rare charms of Native writing in English. From being an inquisitive national explosion, Indian English has become a new form of Indian culture, and voice in which India speaks. While Indian authors have been making momentous contributions to world literature since the pre-Independence era, the past few years have seen a massive boom of Indian English writing in the international market. Not only are the works of Indian authors writing in English soaring on the best-seller list, they are also receiving a great deal of critical acclaim. Starting from Mulk Raj Anand, Vikram Chandra, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Arundhati Roy, Gita Mehta, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Raj Kamal Jha, Jhumpa Lahiri, Bharti Kirchner, Khushwant Singh, Vijay Singh, Tarun Tejpal, Amit Chaudhuri, Amitav Ghosh, Vikas Swarup, Rohinton Mistry, Suketu Mehta, Kiran Nagarkar, Dr Birbal Jha and C R Krishnan.… the parade of fine Indian writers is long and lengthening.

R.K. Narayan is a writer who contributed over many decades and who continued to write till his death recently. He was discovered by Graham Greene in the sense that the latter helped him find a publisher in England. Graham Greene and Narayan remained close friends till the end. Similar to Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, Narayan created the fictitious town of Malgudi where he set his novels. Some criticise Narayan for the parochial, detached and closed world that he created in the face of the changing conditions in India at the times in which the stories are set. Others, such as Graham Greene, however, feel that through Malgudi they could vividly understand the Indian experience. Narayan’s evocation of small town life and its experiences through the eyes of the endearing child protagonist Swaminathan in Swami and Friends is a good sample of his writing style. Simultaneous with Narayan’s pastoral idylls, a very different writer, Mulk Raj Anand, was similarly gaining recognition for his writing set in rural India; but his stories were harsher, and engaged, sometimes brutally, with divisions of caste, class and religion.

Certainly, Indo-Nostalgic writings have much overlap with post-colonial literature but are generally not about ‘heavy’ topics such as cultural identity, conflicted identities, multilingualism or rootlessness. The writings are often less self-conscious and more light-hearted, perhaps dealing with impressionistic memories of places, people, cuisines, Only-in-India situations, or simply vignettes of “the way things were”. Of late, a few Indo-nostalgic writers are beginning to show signs of “long-distance nationalism”, concomitant with the rise of nationalism within India against the backdrop of a booming economy.

One of the key issues raised in this context is the superiority/inferiority of INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH as opposed to the literary production in the various languages of India. Key polar concepts bandied in this context are superficial/authentic, imitative/creative, shallow/deep, critical/uncritical, elitist/parochial and so on.

Rushdie’s statement in his book – “the ironic proposition that India’s best writing since independence may have been done in the language of the departed imperialists is simply too much for some folks to bear” – created a lot of resentment among many writers, including writers in English. In his book, Amit Chaudhuri questions – “Can it be true that Indian writing, that endlessly rich, complex and problematic entity, is to be represented by a handful of writers who write in English, who live in England or America and whom one might have met at a party?”

Chaudhuri feels that after Rushdie, INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH started employing magical realism, bagginess, non-linear narrative and hybrid language to sustain themes seen as microcosms of India and supposedly reflecting Indian conditions. He contrasts this with the works of earlier writers such as Narayan where the use of English is pure, but the deciphering of meaning needs cultural familiarity. He also feels that Indianness is a theme constructed only in INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH and does not articulate itself in the vernacular literatures. He further adds “the post-colonial novel, becomes a trope for an ideal hybridity by which the West celebrates not so much Indianness, whatever that infinitely complex thing is, but its own historical quest, its reinterpretation of itself”.

Deep Thinking ... I breathe

“Think Deeply … Deep Thinking … Dream on, to I breathe…. Live on and hence I breathe”. Life is all about you think to dream and dream the past when you are done with the dream. Life is a game of chess where the fate always succeed winning the game and always makes you to think that you are always playing ahead of it, the fate , it winning the prime motive of playing with you. Life I define is an amalgamation of insignificant dots that you ought to cross to make it as a whole picture that you dream of and that you want to be dreamt of till ages behind and beyond your death. That’s Life.

I always walk long, succeeding as always I do forgetting the move I need to make and suddenly I find myself in a new arena. Innocence of this world shall trigger your dream to new heights if you just dream it of the way you want to. Life teaches you this umpteenth time and you seldom listen thereby realizing that life teaches you unless you are bang on. There is something ineffably poignant in the life that cures your thinking and vision and pushes you to the heights unless you desperately want to fall on gravity.

Insane us

Well fact is fact. Believe it or not. But the fact is different from once own view point. People change, their atmosphere changes, their views changes, and they tend to change for betterment or the worst being towards worse. I always say this world is as innocent but the people living in or not. Is this true? Perception changes, views change. People are not the same always.

Their attitude and behavior change according to the state they are in, Air, Water or the land. People tend to move towards these basic states based on the social status, their financial status and their emotional status. When I call this dumb world as innocent, and the people are not, it means a lot to me and for those who understand the real meaning of these mere words. The same person tends to avoid the interaction with the society, the very own which made him or her, he or she is now.

People forget past, people forget people, people forget the entire nuances which ought to be remembered throughout their life and beyond that, but people forget to forget the problems, issues, fights, misunderstanding and the times they are emotionally charged. When the world is too small to have your emotions intact, why you have this in first place, secondly why the hell people feel their atmosphere and circumstances is making them to live like that.

Hell with the word circumstances. For those who feel like this, I m to tell only a thing which has been pestering in me since ages, the fact of living the world and wining the same and be on top of it with those responsible for it. This is sensible and is the sensible thing. I don’t know whether people remember this or not or they act barbaric without knowing that they remember it, it is always painful and more painful than dead when you have something to share , your victory or grief and you don’t have anyone sides you. This is life, which means to me and most of living here as the reason to live happily with others. Following questions were raised by others to the author of this post which was tended to my experience of these circumstantial issues or not. Yes, I m not saint, hell with the god, I do have experienced it, in bitter way, that’s the reason I m here writing these lines which are just my emotions and nothing more than that. People travel lot of places; they travel distinctly without being true to themselves. Life is meant to be fathoming beyond once inner realization and shelving the blame on circumstances mere won’t solve the purpose of life.

Atheism and Theism

This is a topic which always haunts me in my sleep and I desperately want to conclude which has no conclusion.As defined, theism is in the broadest sense is the belief in at least one deity. In a more specific sense, theism refers to a particular doctrine concerning the nature of God and his relationship to the universe. Theism, in this specific sense, conceives of God as personal and active in the governance and organization of the world and the universe.The use of the word theism as indicating a particular doctrine of monotheism arose in the wake of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century to contrast with the then emerging deism which contended that God — though transcendent and supreme — did not intervene in the natural world and could be known rationally but not via revelation. Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Atheism tends towards skepticism regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence. Common rationales include the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from no belief. Other arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. Although some atheists tend toward secular philosophies such as humanism, rationalism, and naturalism, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere. Start Music. What are the factors does one need to consider when he discovers himself and differentiates between these two broader categories? What is the basic difference in following these two in today’s living generation? Does God really prevail in real? In what way? Strong atheist says there isn’t any god. Should I believe this? Weak atheist says I have not seen. Can I believe this? Does God have any structure shape and size? Can we see or can’t we? Does the sculptures books epics are just novels and art works? Do we infer any serious mythological understanding in this? Can’t we see God in human? Why people believe things they don’t see and unbelief on things they see?

While I was answering to these questions I came up with a story which I read in an article by Late CM of TN. Here it goes. The zamindar of the house was reading news paper sitting and relaxing him on a dancing chair. He was frustrated as his servant has not come for couple of days and put on uninitiated leave. Servant entered the hall and on frustration the zamindar asked where the hell he was for last couple of days? The servant replied in a submersible tone that he was away to pay respect to Lord Thillai Natraja, avatar of Lord Shiva presiding deity in famous temple Chidambaram. Zamindar asked how his trip was and did he paid his respect. The servant replied yes. Zamindar asked the servant to stand on one foot like the avatar of the deity. The servant performed this act and was not able to stand more than couple of minutes. The zamindar asked why you are slipping and asked him to stand like the god, the deity. Losing his strength the servant landed his foot and said, zamindar sahib the deity is made of stone and He was a human, hence it is impossible to stand like that. Sarcastically proving his point the zamindar asked the servant, to see the stone why did he travel to Chidambaram, we can see at back of house. Conclusion of this post and the story is as simple to prove a point when people can see god in adjacent hearts and soul and people can pay respect upon themselves as each soul is god what is the need of an external constitution to believe as a god. I was seriously moved by this article and find answered to all my queries. P.S. I m an atheist and a weak atheist who developed a habit of seeing God and so called super natural powers in nature and I worship fellow lives as those called god. Any medium of this post if it affects anyone here and everywhere is apologetic and request from my side to read and mean as it is written.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani has been the talk of the town ever since the release of its first teaser. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, APKGK has a fresh lead pair in Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. It’s a comedy after a long time from the director of Andaz Apna Apna, reason enough to watch it, don’t you think? Not for me it is a remake of a cult film Roja Kootam with lots of money pour into it roping two stars of bollywood Ranbir and Katrina,

Ranbir became my favorite after his first film sawaariya where I like his cult comedy body language making me feel happy even if he goes on delivering nonstop dialogues. I like his body language identical to his dad and grand dad and no doubt he is from first family of Hindi cinema.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is about Prem and Jenny and their love. Prem, a school dropout is a fun loving guy. Being the President of Happy Club that he runs along with his friends, his motto in life is uniting lovers and makes others happy. And in attempts to unite a love pair, he falls in love at first sight with Jenny. After a lot of misunderstandings Jenny and Prem become friends and in no time Prem falls helplessly in love.

APKGK is a let-down in terms of its inconsistent script and moves from being a good romantic tale to a senseless slapstick comedy. It starts off slow in the first 15 minutes, with sluggish pace and forced comedy but after Katrina’s entry the movie picks up. Post interval, logic goes for a toss with every frame filled with unnecessary extras. Upen’s love angle isn’t convincing and so is the sudden kidnapping of Jenny. Salman’s special appearance, Ranbir’s church prayer sequence where he talks to the lord in ‘butler’ (broken) English, his first day at his job to impress his girl, the dance partner scene, father-son encounters at home are some of the best moments that make APKGK a fun watch.

The movie does get a little absurd but has its moments with a light hearted appeal throughout. It works majorly because of its refreshing lead pair – Ranbir and Katrina, who amaze with great screen chemistry. Ranbir’s ‘No Confusion, No Demand’ steals the show. In a stellar act, the Kapoor lad expresses every bit so exceptionally that he makes you feel deeply for his character. Katrina Kaif looks gorgeous. With an infectious smile, limited talent and her accented Hindi, she impresses. Upen Patel is all body, no talent. From the side actors, Darshan does very well.

AS WE GO DOWN LIFE’S LONESOME HIGHWAYS

AS WE GO DOWN LIFE’S LONESOME HIGHWAYS

IT’S ALWAYS HARDEST THING TO DO

TO FIND A FRIEND OR TWO

THAT HELPING HAND

SOMEONE WHO FEELS

IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY

YOU GOT SOMEONE THERE TO SAY I WILL SHOW YOU

THAT’S THE WAY…

Childhood friends till one’s lifetime are treasures which no one want to lose it. I m the same who just want to have nostalgia of the life we went through till date and particularly when we travel in difficult phase of a relationship. ’Langotiya Yaar’ meaning childhood friend is a word which I relate always to this person for me this fellow is what the world of friendship means. When I was available for all these years to wish him for his birthday falling the immediate day after birth of Chacha Nehru , this year I won’t be available to smell the sweet of love and affection which I received for all these years. Why? The answer is simple and obvious : quarrel. Leave apart all these, I will never shed negative thoughts in my mind of him and I want to share my divine friendship with a fellow whom I know from the day when India knows Sachin Tendulkar and I want to remember him until the world sheds its last breathe and even after that.

College days , official friends acquaintances fell short of what a real Childhood friend can give you and hope there won’t be any disparity on this. Life is sweet for those who have such and I personally know the real depth of friendship lies there. For say, there are days when we both have lived a life sans everything in life and enjoyed the life more than anyone. The day when I first saw this personality , in fact from the day when we walked hand in hand to our first day of schooling and till date when we live a corporate life working for multinationals, this fellow means a lot to me. Life is a game where we travel in different phases and we shall know when the same actor plays of all these roles and when we can really visualize the changes in phase, emotions and living style and the life teaches you that no matter what you be , no matter what the life’s intolerable phase you are passing , there is one who can be depended upon just to show the way you ought to travel. (Go through the lines above and continue reading) It’s always special to remember those funny days we lived , travelling the length and breadth of the country and living what the life is called a life and enjoying every moment one can presumably live with smile laugh and sanity. This is a life in life for me.

Defence quarters where I lived my livelihood till being here in Satyam is a place where one can see the real bunch of characters spanning regions languages and most important the bunch of friends one gets are next to real. I was lucky that he was with me for all these years while seeing the possibility of transfers is huge when being children of officers of this profession. Huge playgrounds, state of art indoor stadiums, amalgamation of twenty odd families and with nice friends I got this fellow a gem of all gems. Living in these atmosphere is altogether a different story and it speaks volumes of nativity we get though being miles apart the native we live in.

P.S: Memoirs of my life best relation: My life in a life

Indian culture and its heritage sometime impose emotional traumas in people which always I feel is the worst for any human kind to digest. Emotional tragedies are always difficult to swallow particularly when issues are related to human values importance and character. The character of the particular society and tradition based on cultural and religious background often imposes unbelievable trauma into any mankind particularly in India when people respect the importance of its origin. The origin of the customs and traditions we follow is often overlooked with myth and stupidity which shall nowhere be and should never be related to any one when the issue arises to challenge the living of anyone and challenges the whole purposes of origin of the tradition custom religion and mankind himself. What should me the motto of living?

I feel the motto should be to let others live. Isn’t it? What is the ultimate need to survive in this world which is always rotten with non-human values cultural and traditional imposes on self and others with amalgamation of religious stupidity to make anyone in this world to live a horrible and yet difficult life? Happiness… isn’t it?

Happiness in the form of zero emotional dangers for self and others. How can one achieve this when he is always subdued in this crap of living hell? Is it always fine with everyone to impose customs and tradition and religious filthiness for the sake of benefit for the self? How to overcome it? Come out of all these with the word called freedom of self and not to care a shit of anything but self freedom which never crosses boundary of self and never enters others freedom.

Human emotions why it disturbs our living? Why can’t we live a happy life where no one around is facing an issue because of us? Atheism teaches us to make others happy and see god in it. I am not asking to scrap your head and give to those who don’t have. Any charity or help or need is you do which you can survive without it. Forgiving one for the mistake he or she has done which becomes a past is ethical and sensible and the needful.

These are some of my minute thoughts which came to my mind which disturbed me for a whole day. I became dumb as dead cockroach after watching this film. This is one of several movies which challenged my emotions to the core.

This is the movie which is meant for those who take the happenings of the movie into real life and take emotions as real. They don’t differentiate real with reel. Reel is carbon copy of real.

Zeenat is on search for a widow of a person who is accidently killed by her husband. The emotional journey makes you melt which reaches in your deep heart that translates the deepest emotion to get the maafinama for her husband. It translates into celluloid the live portrayal of the society. The courage in which she starts her eternal journey to save her husband is beautifully described. Zeenat translates into celluloid what today’s women are. Emotions are dutifully described as words and expressions not into in the form of liquid called tears. Man, believe it or not my 3 year long wait to see this movie has made me mad.

Well I couldn’t ask for more which pinched hard into my soul about today’s society which has corrupted each and every individual mind.

Dor unveils one emotion after the other – intimacy, loneliness, grief, hope, resignation, oppression, guilt, greed, contempt, liberation and of course love. Yes, most of the story is heartbreaking but the narration is beautifully executed and has enough light moments to keep your interest alive. This tale is about two women from diverse backgrounds having common aspirations – but while one has the courage and confidence to make her own choices, the other is resigned to her fate.

This is not a review or any kind of article. It’s a post in perfect blogging terms on an issue which challenged my emotion.

In Search of Realm of Life : Ganges, Trip to Gaumukh Part – II

How can Indians Worship a river as Goddess?  How can people pollute the river and yet call the river as Goddess? How could people pollute the river and say the sins of the believers are washed away? How can the paradox of believing the river in the form of goddess in one hand and performing acts that leads to the rape of the river in other hand could be explained

Will Ganges the goddess die if the river did? Is it faith, literally blind to the extreme stress it puts its goddess through, whether it be plastic bags, dead bodies, or human waste thrown in and from which the river is believed to cleanse itself miraculously, that is killing the river?

Is urban India’s insatiable thirst sucking the river dry? A whole culture to blame for its own imminent demise. The devotion in Ganges is stronger and blinder than ever and that is killing its sanity. The devotion of Ganges is unparalleled by the virtue of the people who are killing it without any remorse. Ganges for Indians is more than just a river.

In the minds and hearts of Indians the solution to this paradox is the stupid cold-blooded feeling that makes them feel; what is the problem if we pour our garbage into the river and suck her dry? Ganges can always survive and purify herself.

Precisely, she is goddess. The state of Yamuna across Delhi is what we Indians want to happen to the largest perennial river of India, sacred mother Goddess Ganga.

PS: Ganges is anglicized name of the river Ganga, which is called as Ganga in Hindi and most other Indian languages.
