Aaamir khan n 3 Idiots(my personal opinion)

3 Idiots---Thought Provokin!!! n kind of a movie which can not JUST be watched once....though idealistic story wise, away from the original book script....

Somehow Aamir khan does very sensible movies...."Tare jameen par" was a sentimental shocker of a sort for me as i tried watching it in India...but stopped at the "maa song"....couldnot watch further...mustered courage to watch it on-board in the flight to US..somewhere in the skies of Austria, but beleive it or not somehow a german girl seated next to me started feeling sentimental abt the film watching its English subtitles....so i had to stop at the "maa song" again as, I started feeling sentimental by then(lol now).....almost similar try to watch it alone this time in US..but still couldnot watch it completely...bad luck...

Anyways coming back to 3 Idiots...there are many scenes that are heart touching....proving that we can not be correct all times in our intution with a dialgue by Bomman Irani,"a broken pencil tip can cause damage to astronauts in space"..,"Saari umr ham mar mar k jee liye"....if i keep naming the dialogues it would b a huge list...

Kareena stands out with her bubbly appearance...Maddy was at his normal best...aamir did well....over n above major chunk of the credit should go to the director ...Raj kumar Hirani...therez sumthin gr8 abt this guy...a perfect filmmaker fr ppl like me who appreciate satire with an undercurrent message in it on the faulty system...

Las Vegas Trip...

This desert city is certainly an oasis for fun lovers and lives upto its reputation as being the sin city...kinda addictor...gambling is one part of the story...unless you are on a strong lucky streak its just a money absorber...evrytime i put money in the gambling machine it reminded me of depositing money into Hundi(poor comparision n my poor luck)...it has much more to offer than we can see...selling women as a commodity on streets (though not legal) testifies the heights of its sensual sins...but a must visit once in a lifetime.....experience it once u will be amazed and awestruck even if u hav heard n number of stories abt it ...

My 1st 3D IMAX movie...

Was it a choice or chance i dunno, watching Avatar in the heart of Hollywood city(Los Angeles) was a visual treat.......it was just an out of the world experience...brilliance in the thought process and the visual taste of the director stands out....cherish this for a long time..

Written by a well educated maoist leader...Pro telangana stand

The realisation of a separate Telangana will be a long and arduous struggle, with forces representing feudal, capitalist and caste cliques opposed tooth and nail to a separate State.

These vested interests have so much clout with the Centre that they can compel it to ignore the aspiration of the people to self-rule. They have turned Telangana into an internal colony of theirs and want to maintain their grip even as they hold sway over Andhra and Rayalaseema areas.

The indications are very clear. The political JAC has appealed to the student community to leave the agitation to them, which is the first step a capitalist class takes to water down a movement.

Money bags are arriving to tone down the agitation.

Then, we have a governor who sends out signal that any law and order problem will be crushed with an iron hand.

And there is also the issue of Greater Hyderabad.

The demand for a special status for Hyderabad portends more danger than anything else since. To retain their grip on Hyderabad, these forces would resort to bloodshed. As a last weapon in the armoury, they will trigger clashes between people of the two region. I want peace squads formed in every basti and every village to guard against and resist the lumpen elements.

I am not hopeful of the Centre taking any decision on Telangana in the near future. This is because the same capitalist and feudal forces which had worked for integration of Hyderabad State into Andhra in the 1950s, are at work even now. There is also a similar exploitative class in Telagnana which had hobnobbed with their counterparts in Andhra and Rayalaseema to provide logistic support to ensure perpetuation of exploitation.

The fears of a Telangana State becoming another Chhattisgarh or Jharkhand are baseless. In fact, it would be the other way round. If the Centre delays formation of a separate State, Telangana would witness a fierce people’s movement against continuing exploitation.

If the movement is at its peak in Chhattisgarh, it is because the State is located in the heart of India where the weaker sections have been exploited for ages. A similar situation has not arisen in Goa, Haryana or Himachal Pradesh.

The peoples of the two regions should realise that the Telangana movement is not a fight between them. It is between the haves and have-nots. I do not say Telangana would become prosperous after the formation of a separate state. That would depend on the quality of leadership and the direction imparted by it.

Let there be an agitation for Telangana as well as for a separate coastal Andhra State and let the leaders fight on behalf of the people, and not on behalf of semi-feudal and capitalist forces.
