Ishqiya : Movie to watch out for

I watched Ishqiya last weekend. What a pleasure to watch it, Debutant Director Abhishek chobey was excellent, although Vishal Bhardwaj's sign were clearly visible in direction. Dialogue were the soul of ishqiya. My favorite being


1. when Krishna (vidya) tell khalujaan "tum dono mein zameen aasman ka farq hai, Khalujaan replied Hindu musalman ka farq hai". This one dialogue shows how communal mind you have. This signifues that difference between Faith is far more than between earth & sky.



2. when krishna says "zara ka jhoote bhi nahin keh sakte". khalujaan replied "Mard hoon na".

Krishna asked "aurat hote to". Khalujaan clarifies "Pari hoon ya tawayaf maloom hi nahin padta".



3. When Arshad's charactor says "Kya khalu, tumhara isk isk aur hamara isk seyks".


This is just a few. Movie was dark humour with excellent performances & direction. Nice story well told. Only thing is "it should be limited to adults only". It should come with a tag "keep away from children's reach".

Vishal Bhardwaj & director abhishek chobey both hail from UP. It helps them a lot in dialogue writing & portraying the eartern UP nicely. Movie also shows "Upper - lower caste differences well enough to feel it". movie might be little vulgar in dialogue but it is very well told story. which give messages without making it boring. Dark humour , Intelligent movie but with vulgar language.

Veer experiance : Beware of Veer

Watched VEER yesterday. I am confused who is more VEER, salman (for making silly movies again & again) or me (surviving 3 Hrs of Boredom). Watching Salman khan's movie is price you pay when your friend is a Salman khan fan. Film is nice for initial 10 Minutes (before Salman khan's entry), Only good thing about veer is Mithun's acting. I am not sure why i feel so, Was it Mithun's good acting or others BAD acting. Things are relative after all. Salman Khan has been credited with writing the story.It feel strange how much fan following Salman khan still enjoy. His Fans admire not His acting but SALLU bhai offscreen. His fan following is independent of his on screen performance.It Shows stardom can be so Independent of performance. Had Aamir, Hrithink or SRK given that much flops recently, No one would have survived.

When asked about "when Sallu look best in the movie" i replied, in Childhood. Only thing Good about movie was unintentional comedy. Salman keep threatening to snatching "5 ser Gosht" & eventually he did. he later confirm that it will be "5 ser", weigh it if you wish.

 I am somewhat satisfied to strengthen my friendship on the cost of 3 Hrs of my weekend. I am still not sure about Veer's Box office fate. Recently we have seen Bad movie being HIT & good ones failing. Still curious what will be the final outcome.

Final verdict : Don't watch it unless you are forced to.

Inter party democracy in Indian political parties

India is world’s largest democracy. India has maintained its democracy on grass root level with non-political army, judiciary & other authorities like election commission. India’s politicians might be corrupt but they are elected by perfectly fair & transparent ways. There is no doubt about credibility of Indian elections. In such a Practicing democracy it is expected that political parties will be having some , if not full transparency & inter-party democracy. Almost all the parties have one supreme leader whose say is bigger than parties. I have never seen Cong. MLAs choosing their chief ministers after elections. Why same decision is taking by every state legislatives which says “we have left the decision of chief minister ship to Cong leader Sonia ji”. If Sonia ji have to decide everything why call the meeting at the first place. Even worst are regional parties, I can’t name another BSP leader than mayawati. Same is case with RJD, SP, DMK, AIADMK, TDP, NC, PDP etc. Almost all of them are single leader parties with some family members influence. Left parties are little better as far as internal democracy is concerned, as none of their leader is above party line. But problem with them is much more dangerous as their party interest is even above national interest. Communism is important than Indianism. Cong being such a big party should have followed internal democracy. Only party which perform better on this front is BJP. But has external democracy also. They also follow what RSS suggest (not dictate, as they prefer to call it.). BJP’s recent problems of too many rebels might be due to too much internal democracy. Due to lack of decision taking members, keeping party united is next to difficult. In that sense inter-party democracy don’t seems to worked well in India. Expulsion of jaswant singh was something BJP should have learned a lesson from. Due to so-called internal democracy party was not united, if was loosing its vision. BJP was in big dilemma should they soften there hindutva agenda or make it even more redical. Party want to win more allies for which they need to soften hindutva a little. On the other hand there was fear of loosing its core vote bank. BJP’s vote bank has reached almost the saturation point. They are not able to improve it any further. They also can’t afford to leave the agenda which is reason for its existence itself.


BJP scored highest on internal party democracy, but on the account of its vision. May be Inter-party democracy is not working out as a whole. Less the discussion, faster the decision, fewer voices against it. Words of Ghandhi family are final in Cong so no one dare to challenge it. It makes Cong decision faster & show party as united in most cases. It might face some problem but single power house make it command follow in one direction. On paper inter-party democracy is nice. But in reality might be different.

Comment on Iffi's blog about dubai ( http://iffionblog.blogspot.com

My dear friend (Iffi),
you have rightly mentioned "Today Dubai is on the world map more visibly as a place to live their dreams" as you can happily live in Dubai only in dreams. In reality things have changed a bit. Burj Dubai has been renamed as Burj Khalifa (named after ruler of Abu dhabi ruler), what a bad start than this. It is first “Thanks giving” gesture for Abu Dhabi's $30b loan. Amazing firework can make you happy for few seconds, you might forget recession for those few seconds. But firework can’t change the facts. Firework doesn’t signify Emirates growth. I agree Dubai is not finished, But it can't enjoy the benefits of Hype & marketing anymore. Dubai has to face ground realities now, which will make it stronger in long run. Emotions should be separated from facts for arriving at any conclusion. My sincere wish is to see Dubai progress better than past. Dubai has will to survive & it will. Insha ALLAH. GOD Bless Dubai, Love live Dubai. As they say, All izz well.

INDIAN CRICKET’S MISSION 2011: Expectations & Challenges.

Indian cricket Team captain, MS Dhoni, was too young to remember the Significance of event, when India won World cup in 1983. It is Normal & justified for people to expect India winning the next world cup 2011. Not only because it is happening in Sub-continent, but also it seems more feasible with current performance of Indian team. First time in last few years, India seems to be doing well consistently. India’s Youngster are performing which leads to healthy competition. Players whose place was taken for granted a while back, are now struggling to make come back. India has pool of 7-8 fast bowlers to choose from. Zaheer khan, ishant Sharma, Srishant, Irfan pathan, RP Singh, Nehra, munaf patel & Tyagi. India’s batting line up is strong too with youngster like Viral kohli, Gambhir & Raina at their peak. Dhoni has emerge as “New Wall” for India, totally opposite of his image & role in 2005-06.


India has brave, fearless youngsters who have nerves of steel. They never lose hope, what may come. Virat kohli looks promising, he need to show consistency to win my confidence. He still needs to prove himself over a longer period of time like sehwag & gambhir. One consistency which is worrying me is “India’s consistent defeat in Finals”. Indians should start winning big matches consistently. It is ironical that with such a huge population & such a passion for a game, India is still Not on top. India has more than 1 billion population, Indians play & follow cricket with passion. Fund, pool of players, facilities everything is better than other sports, still not the best. Is it plain lack of talent or something else. Facilities & training are more crucial at the school level than at national team level. I am of the view rather than hiring foreign coaches for National team, BCCI should bring out billions of Rs. Kept unutilised & hire professionals to train cricketers at school level. National team don’t need a coach, they know their game thats why they are there. National team simply need a coordinator & motivator, Money & fame can spark the passion in a person but couldn’t guide him to pursue the passion.

BCCI is much more powerful than ICC. BCCI is “Big Cash Creator of India”. Time has come when literally BCCI can dictate the terms to ICC. ICC just can’t afford not to agree with BCCI. BCCI’s way of functioning is also questionable, as it is run mostly on “close door” method. BCCI might claim that India team don’t represent INDIA it represent BCCI alone. Just a smart choice of words to avoid legal chaos don’t make BCCI run away from fact that it is Team INDIA not Team BCCI. Let’s encourage what we are best at. Cricket is solo team sport where india has some chance of winning world cup. No one can deny the fact that BCCI is solely responsible for popularity of cricket in india. Critics argue we should watch & follow national sport of Hockey. Govt can’t force people to watch national sport for sake of patriotism. Sport should attract the masses to remain popular; asking masses to follow a sport for sake of it can’t make it popular. Hockey should earn its popularity & not beg for it. Popularity should not be mistaken for reason of hockey’s declining popularity. Cricket has to over the impression of snatching the popularity from national sport. All sports are good & should be encouraged. Cricket is a sport, so is hockey & many others.
