I just don't understand what all this hype regarding "Slumdog Millionaire" is all about.I personallly found it a just-above-average kind of a masala flick which can be watched only once. "The Dark Knight" to me was the best film of 2008.As far as A.R.Rahman is concerned, do we really need the Oscars to recognize his talent? Are we blind? Are we deaf? Are we dumb?He has given at least a hundred

In India, there are 2 types of people who join politics -1. Ones who have their own set of principles and ideologies and who from the core of their heart want to do something good for their country and countrymen.2. People who have realized they are basically good for nothing in all fields of work and have been failures in their lives. The only things they are good at are playing blame-game,

Really sensible peace of journalism by the otherwise biased Paki media. Very balanced.Not the usual crap like this or this that they broadcast.

I feel completely agitated and angry like millions of Indians at this time.I don’t even feel like reading/writing anything so will try to keep it short.These guys have hit us before and will keep hitting us harder in future also as long as the eunuchs are in power.There is nothing new. Since 1947 we have only voted for and chosen eunuchs to lead our country who only talk and talk and talk and do

After all this hue and cry , Mamata Banerjee, the worst person I have ever seen, heard of or read about (and I'm sure not too many would disagree on this with me) should either be exiled or encountered.She doesn't deserve to exist any more.She has never done anything good, fruitful or productive to anyone, not even to herself.Mamata, shame on you - you publicity-whoring, power-greedy,

Well, Ricky Ponting thinks one can't question his integrity in the game of cricket. Okay Mr Ponting, let's not question your integrity and assume that you are the most honest person that ever lived on earth. Therefore, you should 'call a spade a spade'. Shouldn't you?Then what's wrong if at all someone has called a monkey a monkey?Like it or not, BCCI has more influence in world cricket than ICC

I can feel for the kid.He is yet to get over the shock of losing his mother.And even before he has fully recovered from it, he is being dragged into the dirty, stinky field of politics, that too in the shitiest of all shitty countries in the world - Pakistan, the Global Headquarter of terrorism.One of course might argue that he is nineteen years old, therefore is an adult and

I'm not going to name the person who said this."Call me a dog, call me an asshole, call me a bastard, even call me a motherf***er if you want, but please for God's sake don't call me a Pakistani."** This Indian man having the surname 'Khan', was asked by a Japanese man if he was by any chance from Pakistan.

Orkut is great. It's fantastic. But you need to use it intelligently to get maximum benefit out of it and not to get into any trouble at the same time.When I say 'trouble', I have something very specific in my mind. A one-off incident may be but that doesn't guarantee that there are no other potential troubles associated with the use of orkut.Here is a simple story of a poor guy who got himself

Never before have I seen a Chief Minister, or any minister for that mattertaking as big a political risk as West Bengal CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is taking.In fact, if looked at it more thoughfully, it's not just big, it's a rather immense political risk to be taken.He has still not given up on his totally anti-Marxist drive for industrialization in WB.

Well, it was only after I ended up paying a huge amount of Income Tax in the last fiscal (2006-2007), I realized it was high time we, the tax-payers in India got a much clearer picture of what exactly our taxes are contributing to.Some investigation on Google, as well as what I had known previously make me strongly believe that taxes, the increasingly gigantic portion of our hard-earned money get

For Team India's recent debacle at the World Cup, if there is one person to be singled out, it has to be the coach Mr Greg Chappell and NO ONE ELSE.But, a post-mortem, a thorough introspection is unavoidable and it has to be done immediately. The call of the time is to look back and decide on how to look ahead.Whether the coach is an Indian Coach or a foreign coach doesn’t really make any

I don't know much about any religion, not even my own. I was born and brought up in a somewhat traditional yet moderately liberal Hindu family where everyone worships multiple Gods and Goddesses at least twice everyday by lighting agarbattis and diyas and offering flowers and sweets but no one looks down upon people belonging to another religion/caste.I just came across something which I don't

When he was left out, we shouted "He deserved a much much much much much better farewell."Almost a year later when he has been recalled, 'they' are shouting "He is the unlikely beneficiary of the present crisis."Only time will tell who is right and who isn't.

A couple of excerpts from newspapers :ONE.Sri Lanka smashes World record Amstelveen: Sri Lanka erased the four-month-old World record of highest one-day total plundering 443 against the Netherlands here on Tuesday.........Veteran opener Sanath Jayasuriya led the way with 157 off 104 balls, while Tillakaratne Dilshan flayed the bowling with an equally crazy 117 off 79 balls.

Look at this picture below.I was pleasantly shocked when I did for the first time. I personally believe in welcoming ceativity and independent thoughts with open arms.This picture is on air for quite some time now but there hasn't been any controversy as such regarding its creation or existence.But things really turned bad almost all over the world when some cartoonist created this a few months

ATM - Automated Teller Machine has become a must in a modern common man's life. Some people wrongly (but confidently as if they are right!) refer to it as Any Time Money too.Monetary transactions were never so easy before this invention reached people. Everyone who holds a bank account has an ATM-card these days. This invention has made lives of common people much easier as compared to what they

I don’t really know to what extent Arnab's story of “Imran Kissme” will come true, but being at Bangalore, I can very well imagine what it could be like after the “Passing away of Rajkumar” fiasco.With due respect to Dr Rajkumar, and the sentiments of the Kannadigas, I feel the public outrage was not only uncalled for, it was pointless, needless and extremely foolish.It is well understood and

"The Chappel Way" - as the title of this post goes, is nothing but an extensive training program for young aspiring cricketers conducted by Australian International Sports Academy (AISA) and supervised by Greg Chappel himself.For an Indian youngster the cost for taking part in this programme is about 90,000.00 Rupees, exclusive of travel expenses.Now, there is an ex-Police Constable Sunil More in

In the beginning it was 'Dev' as most of my friends call me here. Then I thought 'BlueStorm' sounded better; also it maintained total anonymity. But soon enough, I got bored with that, too. Then, inspired by some 'bongs-to-the core' bloggers I too wanted a slightly 'off the track' but very much bong alias. And, the first thing that came to my mind was Sukumar Ray's famous novel for children '

Terrorism is a problem. A Global problem.Best solution to any problem : just identify the root of the problem and destroy it in order to get rid of the problem permanently.Starting from where Gujarat ends, up to the border from which Israel begins…… Do continuous carpet bombing for a few weeks……the amount of worldwide terrorism will come down drastically ( by 80-90 %).

We,the Indians, have yet again let a test-series slip away from our hands and to make matters worse, that too on home soil.A team, far inferior compared to the Ashes winning England squad, without Marcus Trescothick, Simon Jones, Steve Harmison, Ashley Giles and Michael Vaughan came out with flying colours by levelling the three match series 1-1 beating us comprehensively at the Wankhede

I take great pride in declaring myself as ‘THE BIGGEST SACHIN FAN ALIVE’.Still, I feel…..This is not the first time Sachin has let the fans down. In fact, he keeps doing so in most of his outings. One hundred and then a series of single digit scores, then a couple of 20s and 30s and again some single digit scores, finally a hundred again followed by some single digit scores. This has been the

I'm still not able to come to terms with this :http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/rsavaus/content/current/story/240507.htmlWhat a match !!!Simply unbelievable !!!However.....No doubt it was a cliffhanger and a remarkable match in its own right.

Greg Chappel keeps making one derogatory comment after another about Sourav and all he gets from the BCCI is a mild warning. Even after the ‘leaked e-mail’ controversy, when all his allegations against Sourav were proven to be untrue, the BCCI didn’t take any disciplinary action against him. He was just ‘warned’.Harbhajan Singh, unable to cope up with the unfair goings-on in and around Indian

I would love to start this by congratulating three gentlemen who attained absolute success through their sustained dedication, iron determination and repeated attempts in order to achieve the goal they had been trying to over the past six months or so.My heartiest congratulations to you, Mr Kiran More, Mr Greg Chappel and of course Mr Rahul Dravid. So finally your great trio has managed to pull

I hadn't been getting enough free time for movies of late and hence was a bit late in watching this flick "Rang De Basanti" finally last night although it was released three weeks back.The number one reason I went to watch this movie was of course, Aamir Khan and number two, A.R.Rahman - two of my all time favourites.Frankly speaking I didn't have very high expectations from the Director, Mr

Here's yet another post on our good ol' Bangalore, that is, "nammu bengaluru" .I wasn't here for the last 10 days. I was vacationing back home for this brief period. Yesterday I landed at the Bangalore airport exactly at 8:15 in the evening and after collecting my luggage I came out at around 8:30. The moment I came out with hundreds of other passengers coming from different cities, taxi-drivers

Yesterday all of a sudden I went a few years back down the memory lane. I had no reason to do so but then I had nothing more interesting or constructive to do as such in the evening either. 'R' was busy with work (and so she will be for the next three months as her working hours have changed from 7:00-15:00 to 15:00-23:00 hrs in the evening) so I didn't have anything to do or any company after

Despite being out-and-out a Bengali, I never was, am or will be a fan of Sourav Ganguly. But The recent injustice done to him by Mr Kiran More & Co can't be accepted under any circumstances.This is an article I came across some time back and I find it one of the very best I've ever come across."Die Sourav Die" By Arnab - January 4 2006Let's look at it logically.

Alright folks !!! It's official now. Our good ol' Bangalore would be re-christened as "BENGALURU" some time later this year (most probably on 1st November). The Pundits (ones who conceived this wonderful idea) feel the name change will give a feel of the Local language, that is, Kannada.
