Watched the much awaited Yash Chopra's movie "Veer Zaara" this weekend.What a movie....the masala algortihm that has made us all fall heads over heals with Bollywood strikes again.
I met a Sardarji at the box office queue.He said he is there 'coz his relatives in India asked him to watch this superhit dhaansu dhamaka.I was there 'coz I had a complementary tkt and had to buy one more.
Praaji was right.Who's Who of Bollywood,haunting music, ohh so colorful wardrobe,lush green fields ,tulip meadows ......helped me sail from Kabhie Kabhie ...to Silsila and right to Veer Zaara.There is so much sugar in the movie that I'll stay on 'Equal' the whole week.
Only complaint, it has a lame ending.The Magnum Opus falters at the climax.King Khan as usual was busy being (playing) himself .Beejee ( Preity Zinta ) acted well,burdened & camoflagued behind the designer drapery,but the real superstar is the music by late Madanmohan.

What about me
Results are in . Its sure "W" is going to be back in the Oval Office. I knew it all along ..I had that feeling when I registered to vote .Perhaps that is the reason I registered for the first time to vote.Drug Companies pumped in the moolah 'coz they were fighting against govt price control..Healthcare companies and Oil companies were interested for obvious reasons...
I just got pumped up by listening to a fat grumpy guy who came to my campus and addressed a bunch of us.
I voted for a pack of noodles and underwear .......What about me ..... I'm going back to my dorm and will play Grand Theft Auto till 2008.

Something is Cooking ...
As if the VHP ,Bajrang Dal were not enough for the ownership,now the Srilankan Parliament has also jumped in the ring.
Recently Srilankan Parliament was debating if Ram & Ravana were Tamil or Sinhalese .Sinhalese consider themselves descendants of Ravana and Tamils also consider Ravana to be a Tamil Hero.The speaker of the house didn't allow further discussions 'coz he himself identified Ravana as Sinhalese king in 1980 speech.
I wonder why the discussions on Ram and Ravana have taken the front seat in Parliamentary debate . I smell elections ....

Peacekeeper
My peacekeeper the unshaven clad in an off white cotton dhoti sometime with a shawl sometime without it. He is like the black cat commando shadowing a VVIP. You cannot meet this VVIP until he wants you to at the same time he is as alert and agile so that no one harms his master.
He is our pujari at the local hindu temple.He is my saviour.On my request he will perform an 'Abhishek' . To all the nastiks .. Abhishek is like Fedex Priorty overnite. Charges may vary from $ 21 to $ 51.Nobody knows what punditji says or communicates with my deity,but people say it works.
Punditji has gone hi-tech recently,also I have seen his popularity ( business) growing in last couple of years. As he sits in front of the ..... offering prasad only if he likes...to the bhaktagans ..putting tilaks and performing abhisheks all while he is on phone with some bhakt in distress fixing time for a weekend puja.
I have also seen him reading palms and foretelling destinies right in front of the destiny creator. I have seen the pundit family swell in last couple of years ...the almighty is now better protected from all the evil doers . Don't even try to break the security cover between them and HIM. First you'll get the stare... than no prasad and than..... you'll be ashamed for your faith brought you there.
It seems the guy who was to broker a deal between me and God is busy closing deals for himself.
He is a pujari,astrologer,realtor and a property manager too. The human in service of 'Sahastrabaahu' has become a 'Sahastrabaahu' himself.
