Indian Superheros

If you havent got a chance to catch on Kkrish , watch it now ..its not only a fun watch for kids but an awesome work done by Hritik Roshan. The whole movie belongs to him, each frame of it. He truly has performed the best ever and actually comes out as an Indian superman. The best stunts from Matrix and other Hollywood flicks and even well executed performance leaves the audience gaping. It could not have been any better than what he did and the whole movie is a adventure ride (ofcourse there are a pit falls as well with old Rekha and dumb Priyanka) ! Another good thing to read - I finished on "Truth, love and a little malice". This was a lent by a friend, who insisted it as a good read and it proved well upto the mark. Its lucid and honest autobiography of Khushwant Singh, where he has touched the lives of the great leaders he was in touch with in complete honesty. And the more interesting is the flow of urdu shayari, which he learnt in his school days (as he writes it), spr

Can Humans ever be extinct

Isnt it a strange thought...so many species have venered on this earth and disappeared without a trace, yet human beings have no signs of extinction. They have adapted to climatic conditons and the species has populated this planet in huge numbers. But yet this most complicated species is not perfect. No one can still clearly define how all the parts co-ordinate with each other, how do so many diseases surface and how this brain reacts ? It is said that God made man as the finest of his creations - thinking and refining the shortcomings of previous species. Does that mean that He lost his creativity and could not create anything better than mankind? Is not that a little too difficult to understand phenomenon ? We still are a hapless specie who yet doesnt know how and how do and which thoughts do enter our heads, how do creative or destructive ideas filter in the mind. How may breaths will we take in our life span and is it the only crux of life ? We have tried to be logical and scienti

Not Just Another Rat

It was still dark outside, and my breath floated like a frosty cloud in the cold air. I was feeling sorry for myself again. There was a reason they called it a rat race. Day in and day out, the same old thing. Up and out of the house before daylight. An hour and a half commute to the office. Eight to nine hours at work, and then the same commute home, still dark outside. The short winter days made me wonder: Did the sun ever come out during the day? I wasn't sure anymore - if it did, I certainly missed it. I made my way to the train station on that bleak Monday morning. My week stretched out before me like a deep black hole. The week might be new, but I was feeling old and worn-out. The brief weekend respite hadn't provided much relief, what with the laundry that had piled up, not to mention the supermarket and the dry cleaners and the myriad other errands that ate into what was supposed to be our family time together. We barely had a chance to play a quick game of Scrabble bef

Fanaa for you

Fanaa ..isnt it a beautiful title for this tale ..I loved the movie (though the script could have been a lot better but dont all the movies may it be hollywood flick come with some flaws). Aamir was absolutely fantastic in the role he was portraying infact the feel of the role was immense the inner conflict of a person who is showcasing to the world a camouflaged image. He played it well to the mark ! Kajol had nothing much to do in the movie but to look good, which she did..the script didnt have too much of potential for her to show while she played the blind.It was nowhere near what Rani did to a blind character in Black..and later too except the killing part she was just her usual self. The kid was adorable very natural and very lovable. I was talking to nama who said she wished Rehan shouldnt be killed in the end, and to this I quoted what aamir said in an interview ...the character was ruthless he took lives without thinking twice and in the end this was the best fate could have d
