Mayawati is a phenomenon to Modern India.
She is the creator of history in whatever sense it may be...good or bad.
Her Dalit uplift reform is a good work however, the complete plan needs channelization.Today is the D-Day for our lady. The Supreme court verdict needs to be justifyable in a practical order.
If she wishes to be the Goddess for the Dalits, she has to play the savior-built schools,make sure that every Dalit child is educated, build industry and make them work efficient, Give them protection from the terrors of daily life, food,shelter etc.That is what a man would pray for when he joins his hand in front of the Almighty.
Building monument is a complete waste of money. When one is socially tampered, economically killed everyday...he/she does not go and see monuments. They stand on the main gate to the monument and beg for food.
The stretch of the Noida-Gurgaon connector ails my heart every time I pass the huge beautiful monument. We have lost the greenery there to the concrete beauty. Should Mayawati not restore that ??? What does justice say??

Mile Sur Meraa Tumhaara...Makes a Bollywoodised come back!!
Like every remix version, it is new. However, I will still give it a thousand thought before replacing it with the old one. The austerity in the original track touches the heart of every listener.
22 superstars, 18 musicians, 13 artistes and singers and 15 other known personalities....but it did not do the magic of the original one. Like every other remake...it will remain a 2nd copy.
The music is modern not classically Indian, not at all. The album is too Bollywoodised and not acceptable.
What surprises me is the casting, Deepika Padukone's loud limb demonstration or the inauguration by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. The cast of Bollywood Kids....Ranbir, Shahid, Karan Johar and others. Till this album was made, I never knew they were as appreciated a contributor in India's face to the world that we could miss on people like APJ Abdul Kalam, Sachin Tendulkar or the people who have managed our national borders from the army and the navy. What has Amitabh Bachchan done to India other than acting in every possible movie and commercial that comes his way and put the money to save his own house.
If the director wished to make an album with filmdom only...he could have looked across India for talents who have taken Indian movies to far off land other than Bollywood. Every state could have contributed better than the ones portrayed here.
This music album will fade away like most other remakes...and I am sure we will have that one “Mile Sur Meraa Tumhaara…Ki Sur Baney Humhara! Humhara!”...the original

We all simply do talk about it every now and then. Is it not just to show that we are also a part of the contributing and concerned class. Are we really doing enough to take a stand on this situation. Simple activities just to tell oneself that "Yes, I have done my part" is the most we can do in a day to day life. Discussions and debates will never come to end. Environmentalists will do their part, news channel will do their part, politicians will do their part,filmdom will do their endorsements and common men will watch them. Peep into all their homes.....and find them contributing more and more to worsen the situation.
Lets not discuss,debate and indulge. Lets just switch of the electronics power plug rather than leaving them in standby once done. Lets go paperless.lets bring home a sapling, lets Go Green !!

Searching.....
I’m searching through all that has ever been hoped, in praise of what can never be known.I am still searching..... for that one thing that I have been waiting for ever since. I don't know what it is however, I am sure I will know when my search is over..when I am destined.
Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.
Liberty, for me, has changed nothing..that might be one reason why I am still searching.
Today I want to break all protocols and walk towards where I am destined and touch the silver line of the bordered, undefined search. That is where peace is ..that is where faith is..that is where love is...And that is where life is.

Man - Mind or Muscle !!
Breaking the eternal myth that the male species loves being perceived as attractive, sexually active or ‘lady-killers’; findings based on an international study recently revealed that most men want respect, a harmonious family life and good relationships with their partner. Interestingly, the “macho man” tag is no longer macho.
“A woman gets to know who you are in 10 minutes,” claims model and actor Milind Soman. For someone like Milind, who rules over the hearts of many around the globe, a macho image is something that cannot be projected. He says, “Men today know that they’ve got to be original. I feel that the best thing to be is ‘real’. If you’re macho, it will show. If you’re sensitive, it will show as well. Trying to look honourable and caring won’t work for long if you’re not that kind.” According to the study, a majority of the men ranked a healthy lifestyle and compatibility with their partners over mere self fulfilling or sexual concerns. “I’ve always been a shy guy and I feel that once a man grows up, a sense of responsibility and the need to be respected and be in a meaningful relationship arises on its own. Macho is something that is too frivolous a term for me. While I do agree that there must be many women who are attracted towards macho men, personally it has always been a frail way of projecting oneself,” says model-turned-actor Muzzamil Ibrahim.
However, experts believe that the drive for projecting themselves as honourable and selfreliant depends on many factors such as one’s temperament, profession and social environment. Dr Sameer Malhotra Head of Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at Fortis Hospital reveals, “There is always an urge in people to be accepted and be known in their social groups. More importantly, what we see happening around us becomes a social norm. I don’t think one can generalise if men want to be perceived as family oriented, or as studs chasing women. It totally depends on the kind of social set-up that you are a part of and the profession that you are into. Also, the temperament of a person plays a very important role in what they want to project themselves as.” Well, it’s not just the perception of men that rules the entire study. What is more engaging is the outlook of women, which also seems to be changing. “Women today are smart and well educated. They want to be in a stable relationship rather than being with men who are merely lady killers. Independent and strong-headed women are ruling today, and they need substance in a relationship. This makes the ‘macho image’ take a back seat,” says Dr Samir Parikh consultant psychiatrist Max Healthcare.
“In today’s time macho men get the young girls, the ones that want to have their fun in life. Sensitive men get the more responsible women, the ones that want to stay with you for life,” says Gaurav Balani, musician, indicating that the priorities of both men and women have changed with time.
“Gender stereotypes have changed over the years,” says Dr Megha Hazuria Gore, clinical psychologist, Max Health Care. She adds, “Stereotypes are no longer applicable in today’s world. Times have changed. Initially, there was a notion that men should be strong to physically protect women. But that ideology doesn’t apply to the women of today, who don’t need protective men as physical comforts.Both the sexes are looking for deeper aspects of a long-term relationship.”

3-Idiots !!
http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/sagarikaghose/223/54036/from-three-idiots-to-a-nation-of-idiots.html
Sagarika Ghosh: On 3-idiots
I was astonished by the intense observation that you have done while watching the movie. I am sure you are among the few people like me who have practically noticed the mocks for the Laplace Transform in the film. I would say there were a lot of loop holes in the script - from trading an imperial degree to being outstandingly out of the way brillient student. Moreover, the most striking part was being the world reknowned scientist after everything that had happened and that too without an identity or a stamp of an institution. This is definitely not only difficult but impossible in any education system. The professor Virus who had 3 students committing suicide for his demand to excellence, as you will notice, goes unattended by the law and enforcement throughout. In a country like ours ...all these are impossible.Emergency landing of a flight when a person faints would never end up saying "gentleman ..I am fine. You can carry on". that would have been doomsday for aviation industry.
The film was fun, the script was well versed and everyone did their job well. Aamir, Sharman,Madhavan and Boman Irani are all wonderful actors and Chetan Bhagat's adaptation did a magic to the film.I would say we can simply enjoy and come back without a lesson from this movie. All the characters are simply hypothetical and one among those 1000 special people out there.
Professor Virus is a representative of that one professors among all of them across the globe.Racho is one among all the brilliant students across and so is the entire cast.
So.... This movie is a good watch- Go, have fun,have a laugh and come back......No Take-Homes and No Doggy Bag(That could turn dangerous!!!)
