Are we Taliban?

Growing intolerance in India is creating some kind of discomfort in me.

Raj Thackery episode, Jodhaa Akhar banning episodes, some West bengal ministers comment on Marwaris, Valentine Day's culture campaign suggest that we - Indians are promoting atleast some 30-40% of talibanism in our culture !!! Sad indeed :(

Actress Shreya

I met actress shreya in Chennai city center on Feb 19th. She stepped out of her innova and wanted to catch lift to go INOX to watch Jodhaa Akbar.

She came with her family and smiling all over. People were bit confused how to react.

I was also waiting for the elevator. I somehow felt that she wanted to be recognised so i exchanged pleasentries with her when we went up using the elevator. She acknowledged with cheerful smile.

She was cool, looked smart but simple, around 5ft 2inch types and wearing light blue jean and white round neck t-shirt.

Jodhaa Akbar - Movie Review

Jodhaa Akbar - Movie Review

I thought it is going to be a historical portrayal of Akbar before the release. But it turned out to be more of love story which starts after the marriage of Jodhaa with Akbar.

The movie has got everything - Political moves, war, hatred, jealous, love of religions, love story between the lead pair and family bonding and kitchen cabinet sabotage, plans etc...

The acting is top notch by Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya, Ila Arun. The sets are class apart. Scripting is fairly good and covering all sort of angles. Clothes and Jewellery are outstanding. Photography is mind blowing.

Salute to A R Rahman for the great music score. I felt that first ten minutes of music was bit loud bit it toned down when the movie settles down. I didnt like the music at two points due to familiarity - One place similar to Bombay movie and the
other with Boopalam raaga when Hrithik gets well.

Another salute to Ashutosh for making this movie. I now realise what a grand movie means. Mr Shankar (south indian director of Sivaji, Mudalvan) should see this movie to understand how money can be spent to make the movie look lavish.

On Raj Thackery's Outburst

Raj Thackery's outburst

Raj created a havoc with his mumbai for mumbaikers comment a week ago.

My reaction is as follows:

1. Every Indian citizen has got right to live where ever he chooses in any part of India. But inciting violence is highly deplorable.

2. But the government of India is equally responsible in createing industrial belts across the India so that huge migrations can be little better managed.

3. I am taking Tamil Nadu and karnataka as example as I am very familiar with both these states. If one take example of Tamil Nadu, most of job opportunities are available around Chennai and some fraction of it in Coimbatore.

4. There is not much of job opportunities outside Bangalore too.

5. So, people from all over India migrated to Chennai to make a living. I can see plenty of north Indians in Chennai compared to what I saw in 1995 or so. North East females have taken over all hi-fi restaurents over last 2-3 years.

6. There is nothing wrong in movement of people. But in-action of Government is making all state equal is disturbing.

7. To me, the way UP, Bihar or North East being ignored for so many years is really disturbing than migration.
