After every door gets slammed to your face and after you decide to abandon your friends, since they'd abandoned you first, it's not easy to stay away from becoming a cynic and a cold-hearted creature, or so I believe. I have always been an escapist myself and no I'm not ashamed of this fact. It's just how I've been. I tend to find the easier way out and I get out of every other thing that is trying to mess me up, and this may come at whatever cost to me or anyone else, it's just my way of dealing with life. Hence, becoming a cynic and hatred or non-acceptance have come easy to me. I choose to detest everything that makes me uncomfortable, pushing the blame on that something, getting rid of the guilt factor and then rest, or attempt to rest in my dark.<br /><br />And then you meet a person, who might have achieved everything, who might have reached the desired place, but there were always these needless struggles, painful battles, scars for life. And the person still believes in life, looks forward to it, even while a dark cloud gets formed in the background.<br /><br />Maybe, maybe is a nice word, I just have lost it's meaning.</span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-49425702512375405112009-10-18T12:07:00.002+05:302009-10-18T12:14:34.132+05:30Blue<p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Blue is a perfect movie which has disguised its countless flaws & plot deficiencies with some very good technical post production. The movie talks about a treasure hunt throughout, but there is never a hunt, it’s like Bloated Dutt knows it all. </span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The movie’s first half is brainless & gets you brain dead till it reaches the half way mark. The makers have used up all their money to pay up the firangi (Pete Zuccarini) & to get Kylie Minogue to sing and dance on the embarrassing ‘Cheegy Weegy’ (that’s how Sonu Nigam sings it… lol ). In the midst of all this they forgot to get someone to give them a strong story/screenplay.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Now, after the National Geographic style opening credits, we have a super rich Arrogant Kumar who befriends Bloated Dutt for his own reasons, obvious from the start but revealed right at the end. Bloated Dutt is a working class fishmonger, who has a sea-facing furnished ‘bangla’, a naukri under ‘arrogant’ and Bikini Dutta for arm candy (all this at the producer’s expense of course).</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The happy three live happily in the breathtaking filmed Bahamas, flaunting their lifestyle which might put Donald Trump to shame, because our awesome threesome do everything except work. But along with Bloateds dark memory about his father (who gives him a ‘kasam’ under water through his oxygen mask) he also has a good for nothing brother Useless Khan (who is solely there because the producers thought about cost cutting). </span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Now, Useless Khan under the adrenaline rush (because of K Kaif) has a brush with the Bangkok mafia screws up big time and is under debt of $50 million. Useless Khan does not know what to do and flees to Bahamas, one big useless that he is. The mafia follows Useless to Bahamas giving rise to some redundant bike chase & a gun battle at Bloateds bungalow which leads to his house being burnt to ashes and Bikini Dutta kidnapped. </span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">All this finally leads to the much talked about treasure hunt under the <em>‘Blue’</em>. Bloated has to revisit his dark memory, arrogant is only too happy & Useless is useless. Now the most awaited treasure hunt and the corner stone of the plot turns out a like a ‘<em>thanda thanda (blue) pani</em>’ makingschool treasure hunt competitions look more challenging. The trio has just found out the Mahabharata style ‘khazana’ after navigating through colorful corals, fishes and some harmless sharks who are as disinterested in them as you are. Bingo! </span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Finally, the mafia is killed the raaz’s are revealed, bloated is united with his bikini and Useless feels like he’s come out of the blue. The climax is plain juvenile and stupid.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Blue, only scores high points in the cinematography department. The look of this movie is quite distinguished. The scenes shot underwater and the night scenes where Akshay confronts Sanjay to look for the treasure has brilliant framework associated with it. </span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Its the festival of lights and colors, don’t just restrict yourself to <em>‘Blue’</em>. As for this movie catch it on the ‘Blue’-ray disc.</span></p> <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong style="font-family: verdana;">Verdict:</strong><span style="font-family: verdana;"> It leaves you feeling </span><em style="font-family: verdana;">Blue</em><span style="font-family: verdana;">!</span></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-14561732739257177212009-10-06T15:32:00.001+05:302009-10-06T15:35:30.195+05:30About a semi-perfect movie<span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" >Over the years, my expectation from Karan Johar movies have steadily declined to the point that despite the good music and good promos I didn’t have much expectations from Wake Up Sid. But cut to the end of the first half, and I thoroughly liked the movie.</span> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Wake Up Sid is a simple story based on the coming of age genre and compared to other recent Bollywood films in this genre like Lakshya or DCH, the story line for Wake Up Sid is much simpler and the canvas smaller. Unlike the protagonist of Lakshya who redeems himself by battling against Pakistan in the Himalayas, here the protagonist merely manages to get a job as a photographer in a magazine. The redemption story is no more grandiose or dramatic. But there are a few reasons why with seemingly bland narrative and storyline the movie still works.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Why the movie works is because for the most part the movie stays believable, realistic and likable. The music of the film, though almost one dimensional expect for the Iktara track, actually serves as good situational music. The scene conceptions and dialogues are quite natural and realistic. Majorly though, it rides heavily on the performances of its lead actors. Konkona Sen Sharma pulls off another wonderful performance. Ever the earthy and realistic next door girl, unlike her most other roles where she ends up being the loser, not getting the guy, here for a change she doesn’t cry and instead has a bright road ahead. Ranbir Kapur for once and for all proves that he can really act. He carries off his role with absolute ease. Doesn’t overact, doesn’t suffer from mannerisms, just the right treatment meted out to Sid’s character. Actually the biggest reason why Wake Up Sid works is because of Ranbir Kapoor’s affable portrayal of the central character.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">While the story and screen play of the film avoids all the melodramas and Bollywood cliches, it does appear to be undercooked a bit. The biggest grouse being it’s too flat and bland. It’s alright to not have all the rona dhona and stereotypes but the movie could have definitely done with a bit of humour. Jane Tu Ya Jane Na had a tremendous comedy element and that gave the movie a major lift. Here, the mood of the movie is thoroughly monotonous in the absence of a single comic scene. Also, while it has been shown how Konkona’s character loves Sid, the other way round hasn’t been explored. Sid’s journey from friendship to love has been covered in under two minutes. That aside, the music also could have done with a bit of depth. Here, barring the Iktara song and the song right in the end when it starts raining (which is not there in the album?) the music is again monotonous. Actually the music being so one dimensional made me think before I saw the movie that it’s going to be a rich kid’s cliched bollywood coming of age movie. I’m happy it didn’t turn out that way.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">While I’d say that the film is terrific up to the interval, as the movie ends, I felt a little let down on account of absence of a little more depth or drama. When I look back and ponder over some movies which have really hit me, I realise there was this constant factor in them that the screen play altered its pace at places, hitting peaks and troughs and changing in intensity. Here, a lot like “Luck By Chance”, the film stays in the same intensity most of the time.</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">To sum up, while I enjoyed the movie, and it’s a fresh movie with great performances and without the usual melodrama and cliches, I do feel that it’s a tad undercooked and it could have done with some hilarity and fun. Add a little more fun and humour, it could have been a perfect movie.</span></p>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-34836002391452564382009-09-16T15:36:00.000+05:302009-09-16T15:38:07.958+05:30For all you foodies<h2 style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.suchitra.com/2009/09/for-all-you-foodies/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: For all you foodies"><br /></a></span></h2> <p style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Came across a very interesting site-designed apparently by 4 IITians.

I remember the teachers instructing us clearly and repeatedly that an autobiography should never contain the statement "and then I died". This was because dead things are incapable of communicating their life story from beyond the grave. Apparently a tree or a dog writing its own autobiography was quite believable but a dead tree or a dog doing it? No f*****g way. Just too unrealistic.<br /><br />Some other stuff I learnt in this school :<br /><br />Eskimos prefer to live in an igloo rather than a brick house because bricks have tiny holes in them through which the cold wind can blow through whereas ice blocks do not.<br /></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-868478407305045132009-05-22T12:30:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:58.983+05:30Hello ???<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Ever wondered why we say “Hello?” when we answer the phone? Well, when the telephone was first invented, people became accustomed to ringing a little bell, kept especially for the purpose, and saying “Are you there?” whenever they answered the phone. Tedious, huh? So, once when Alexander Graham Bell was in engrossed in some work, he received a call and he was so impatient that he snatched up the receiver and abruptly said- you guessed it- “Hello?”. And there it is… It seems Bell invented more than the phone; he unknowingly established the beginning of telephone etiquette!!</span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-33724232961134171682009-05-22T12:27:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:58.992+05:30Stop..<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">People who are the closest to you have the most capacity to hurt you. This is but obvious and highly scary. So when you are in such a situation when you do get hurt and get hurt repetitively, what do you do? Do nothing and wait for it to go away? Move the person a bit farther away from you so you stop getting hurt so often? The second option sounds more appealing at times since you’re sick of feeling this way, but then again you don’t want those consequences… even though you get the feeling that the person might be taking you for granted. What do you do then? Again wait for it to go away and just ignore it? Show the person how wrong they are by making them realise you might not always be there? Again the second option would sound tempting if it weren’t so damn hard to do and you realise that the other person might be more important to you than you are to them… And you wish it could go back to how it was… Carefree (fine, more carefree than the present), less touchy, with less expectations… wish it would stop feeling vulnerable and stop wanting to lash out, only to realise that you can’t bring yourself to in the first place…</span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-90405410530078402392009-05-19T10:11:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.017+05:30Am I...?<span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" >Sometimes, when I least expect it, I get this strange thought.... and when I do I actually have to stop what im doing and ponder it over.

Is this maybe the manifestation of someone's dream or imagination? Maybe any minute now that person will wake up and everything we know will vanish in a puff of logic... Which seems pretty much like me saying- What is real and what's not?

I hate hypocrites and plagiarists. For those of you don’t know (you should have figured out this, by now) Ghajini was “heavily inspired” by a movie called Memento by Christopher Nolan (Director of The Dark Night, The Prestige, The Following and Batman Begins… </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The best part is that almost all these box office wonders in Bollywood (Life in a Metro, Hum Tum) seek “inspiration” from some Hollywood movies but even fail to acknowledge that. It doesn’t make sense when you already have the script, the story board and everything ready made for you and you even fail to acknowledge the person who went through all the pain and hard work. By the way, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (ardent Shah Rukh Khan fan, always will be) was unfairly compared to Ghajini. Yes, both were well acted but Ghajini was a copied concept and one should give credit to RBNDJ for being original.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I am a frequent visitor on IMDb.com and there one can usually find posts like 50 things you learn from Taken, or Fight Club etc. I found those posts hilarious and here are the “50 things I Learnt from Ghajini”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">1) After watching Ghajini, go blog about it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">2) Hell yeah, Revenge is Sweet!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">3) Even Aamir Khan can screw up sometimes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">4) “Vishwas”(Confidence) aur “Ghamand” (Vanity)mein farak hota hai!” (These magical words can change your life. [ Dis is the sentence my pappa tells me always ]</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">5) World has achieved “Utopia”; people no more take advantage of people having problems and short comings. (All his employees remain faithful to him even after his injuries.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">6) If you remake a Hollywood movie, you have to make use of all the possible bollywood clichés.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">7) If you see the love of your life for the first time, animated and exotic leaves will start falling on her.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">8) If you are the C.E.O of a big MNC, you should always drive in a BMW 7 series car followed by 3 black Mercedes, if you don’t do that, then you are not a real big player in the corporate world.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">9) The co-workers of a big CEO if see him outside office, they greet him by the ye olde “Salaam Saab”.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">10) CEOs personally make sure that the company’s hoardings are placed at the “Right” spots; marketing guys just have a blast in their offices.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">11) Models can fantasize themselves as a heroine in the middle of a traffic jam on a busy street.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">12) Models travel in empty railway coaches going to Goa.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">13) Models are dumb, if their boy friend shows up at a party with a BMW 7 series car followed by 3 black Mercedes and donates 5 lakh Rupees to charity, she still won’t suspect anything.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">14) You can pretend to be anyone’s fiancée and not get caught. (This one requires practice.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">15) If the love of your life dies and you lose your memory, you don’t grieve about it, instead you work out heavily.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">16) Pre-requisites to being a good Police Inspectors are good reading skills and ability to read any thing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">17) Police Inspectors are basically hopeless romantics, instead of calling for backup they’d rather prefer to read a suspect’s love story.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">18) Tattooing can be painful, use Camlin permanent markers instead.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">19) If there’s a name tattooed on you, you would NEVER consider googling it or looking up that person on orkut or facebook.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">20) Always carry change with you, conductors were born with the right to say “Chutta nahi hai,chutta do nahi toh peeche waale bus mein se jaao”. (This one is very practical.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">21) If your hair cut is unique, people especially bus conductors remember you.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">22) If you can tolerate a girl blabbering 24×7 and can actually find her talking pleasant, then you are in “love”.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">23) The most romantic place to propose to a girl has to be BEST bus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">24) A girl, who agrees to marry you, would NEVER ask about your family, your mother or other stuff, cos that would be too “trivial”.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">25) Each love story needs to have two songs, one is sung by the guy when the guy tries to woo his woman and the other one, when he realizes he’s glad and lucky to be with her. (Songs can also be sung to make your woman jealous, to show you are sad and at some points, even to dance before the villains before the ultimate climax fight scene and to add more USP to the movie by throwing in an item number).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">26) All the possible rich guys falling for middle class women will have to try Pani Puri. (Presence of a song or background music is compulsory).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">27) Aamir Khan extensively researched wild animals to understand their wrath and use it in his antics.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">28) If thugs go after you in a train, “DON’T EVER PULL THE CHAIN, TO STOP THE TRAIN” (Use of common sense is a cardinal sin), instead offer them a gold chain.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">29) Jiah Khan is extremely awesome. Even if she barely has any role or dialogues, she is great eye candy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">30) If you suffer from a short term memory loss, you would still remember your fiancée but forget your manager, co-workers and friends.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">31) If you plan to murder someone, make sure you don’t leave the bus tickets behind, finger prints, weapons used are secondary, bus tickets can screw you up big time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">32) The henchmen of the biggest criminal in town don’t believe in fire power or ammunition, sticks and construction instruments are replacing guns.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">33) If you are a good Don/Thug/Small time crook, you have the potential to become a successful industrialist.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">34) A good don always believes in diversifying, our beloved Ghajini was into trafficking, selling kidneys and pharmaceuticals.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">35) Rajnikanth should deserve special thanks in the credits, since half the stunts were inspired by him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">36) If the movie is almost 3 hour long, then you should make it a point to cram in a song, so that it becomes 3 hour long. (Lattoo Lattoo!!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">37) A.R Rehman’s music can make any horrible movie pleasant and a bit watchable.( Also applicable for Yuvvraaj.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">38) No matter how many kicks and punches you get, nothing happens to the Polaroid camera you are carrying with you.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">39) Never trust female students who are planning to do a case study on you.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">40) Jiah Khan is awesome eye candy. (Did I already mention it?)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">41) If you can mimic Aamir Khan’s reaction when he wakes up every morning, you can prevent your younger siblings from entering your room.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">42) Gyms and fitness centers should teach Aamir Khan’s Ghajini antics to help people lose weight.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">43) If there are thugs looking for you, make sure your cell phone is on silent mode.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">44) Aamir Khan’s favorite meal would be maggi, cos it gets prepared in two minutes, he’d remember he cooked it and hence even manage to finish it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">45) Tattoo important phone numbers on your body; you cannot depend on your cell phones these days.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">46) If you wanna look cool, fold into half, the sleeves of your half sleeves shirt. (Wonder why Aamir Khan didn’t do the same for his trousers.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">47) Though “inspired” from Memento, you would still remember every movie made by Rajini when you are watching Ghajini.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">48) You are allowed to kill as many people as possible if you have short term memory loss.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">49) Bullets, grenades, knife, safety pins, rods, hydrogen bomb et al, try everything on a guy suffering from memory loss, he will still survive and seek retribution.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">50) Tell people to watch “Memento” and to appreciate originality and creativity.</span><br /></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-68458899850912684722009-03-19T19:56:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.048+05:30Tag! You're it!<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tag! You're it! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Highly interesting tag. A tad long. My apologies. Oh hell it’s my blog… Apologies duly retracted. LOL !</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> I have negligible patience. And that’s putting it mildly.I have to wait for someone I’m supposed to be meeting, I pace, I fidget, I fume. Is that because of my inane tendency to turn up before the decided time you ask? I want to try everything. And anything. I want to experience absolutely everything that life has to offer, thrice over, excluding experiences of the narcotic and tobacco kind. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some things I wish I wasn’t/didn’t: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I find it excruciatingly difficult to discuss my problems with others. Very often I don’t. If I do, it’s limited to around 2 people whom I confide in. Wish I was more open.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I’m way too shy. Hence I can’t talk to new people instantly. So often it’s happened that a friend and I are introduced to someone new and while the friend goes on to become </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> best pals with the stranger in a few minutes, I come across and disinterested and unwilling to speak for quite a while. </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Because of above unwanted habit, I get worried very easily and very often. I think of all possible scary scenarios to a situation and fret about each and every one of them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I use the adjective "sexy" way too much. I really need to cut down.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I forgive. I don’t often forget.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I am lazy. I procrastinate :(</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -My mood is often decided by what other people do or say. And I hate that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some things that cross my mind a lot:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I wonder if I'll have any "friends forever".</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I always seem to be reaching out for something different than what I should be… </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Sometimes I seem to strive to be unhappy but obviously hate it when I am… why the hell?</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -I should really stop being so lazy…</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some things I’d like to do before I die:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Become a film maker and do my dream film STAR.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Be a famous columnist.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Start a food court.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Buy a Benz for my dad.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Turn ons:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -The ability to talk mind boggling nonsense effortlessly</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Philosophy</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -The ability to handle my moodiness. A rarity, this one.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> -Ability to make me want to talk endlessly.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Turn offs:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Be good to the people lesser than you. Act unnecessarily mean to a little beggar and put an empty chocolate wrapper in her begging bowl and face my wrath.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Male chauvinism. Blech. It’s everywhere. I seriously hate this to utmost.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Refusing to accept one’s own mistakes.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Over-nosiness.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - People who hate cinema.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ways to win my heart:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - If you have interest towards art,literature and media.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Mani ratnam fans !! </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Talk to me. Give me something new to think about. T</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Tell me about yourself without overdoing it. Have a genuine desire to know about me, and not just the pretty bits. </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - Don’t force your opinion on me. Discuss. Compromise. And keep at it.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-53195794387481352002009-03-16T17:05:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.058+05:30Terrorists areTerrorists<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Terrorism has no religion.<br /><br />Yeah this issue is execrable on people. Aspect of a response to mass terrorism that I’d like to discuss in this post:<br />" the inclination to unfavorably treat those who share characteristics with or bear resemblance to the terrorists,following 9/11 and 7/7, Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim were subject to a pervasive and violent backlash"<br /><br />With news suggesting that the Mumbai terrorists are Muslim, some are worried that Muslims in India may face a wave of public and/or private harassment and discrimination. For example, a colleague who heads a major civil rights organization in America expressed that he was “praying for victims of [the] Mumbai attack[s] and for Muslims in India.”<br /><br />It should not have to be this way. A terrorist is a terrorist and has no religion or community.In order to assuage the possibility that Muslims in India will be subject to a backlash, such comments should be repeated by the Indian Politicians. These statements may not, alone, prevent a backlash, but they may help reorient the people’s emotions to more productive and constructive efforts; and they will indicate that, if the people direct their anger towards Muslims, they are doing so on their own accord, not with the government’s command or approval.<br /><br />" terrorists are terrorists — they are not “Muslim extremists” or “Islamic fundamentalists.” The media, however, has consistently portrayed members of al-Qaeda and other terrorists as Muslims "<br /><br />While such terminology may be useful for identification purposes, it has the very dangerous effect of conflating “Muslims” with “extremism.”The ordinary public to draw a connection between Muslims and terrorism, and thereby endanger all Muslims by making them a proper target for rage, anger, and suspicion.<br /><br />A solution would be to identify terrorists as terrorists ,this would not only deny them the religious or nationalistic cover and legitimacy they believe they have, but would also shield millions of innocent members of the Muslim faith from violence, discrimination, and harassment.<br /><br /><br />My hope, we collectively recognize that terrorists are terrorists, undeserving of the very religious or national identity that under girds their conduct.</span></span></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-64595617523905613202009-03-16T16:13:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.079+05:30Ego<h3 style="font-family: verdana;" class="post-title entry-title"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://poignantrose.blogspot.com/2008/06/ego.html"><br /></a></span> </h3> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Our best friend.

We chat about human rights with our parents, teachers and friends. But child labour?? Child labor is common in some places,sorry in many places of world.<br /><br />I want to tell you all, my way to avoid and eradicate child labour.<br /><br />This is a try to say some thing which is more useful than this blog. Please hopefully move forward from here.. I don’t have anything personal against anybody so please don’t take anything that I might say personally.. My only aim is that something constructive takes place at the end of it all..<br /><br />What can we make ??<br /><br /><br />1. Don’t employ them. Let them study - Children who work normally cannot afford three meals a day, how can they afford books, uniform and the fees?<br />2. Give them a livelihood and a proper atmosphere for studies - How would we give them a livelihood and what is a proper atmosphere for studies and how would we achieve it?<br />3. Removal of poverty - Good, but how?<br />4. The government is not doing anything. - What are we going to do? Why can’t we force governments to do something about it?<br />5. Joining politics - Sure, but if we don’t have a plan, how are we going to achieve it?<br />6. Provide free education - will that alone help given the economic condition of the families? Is this support to NGOs/UNICEF which already have some programmes of this kind or on the grass root level like we ourselves volunteering to teach/provide books, etc on a weekly basis to the immediate society around us?<br />7. Voting - but what after that? Are we ready to take the govt. to task on such issues? If yes, how?<br />8. AW-WA - I’m in the dark on this. What is this exactly? How can we help?<br />9. Charity is not a solution. Removal of inferiority of economic and psychological status. - Anything regarding the inferiority complex of an educated unemployed youth?<br />10. If its only we who can do something, what are we planning to do?<br />11. Kids don’t want to study - Is our education system up to the mark? What after studies - unemployment?<br />12. Eradicate poverty and illiteracy - Cool. How?<br />13. Take action against institutions who employ children - Why can’t we take it up with the govt. to pass a law on provision of education to children employed by institutions, that way, a win-win situation?<br />14. Make the rich children work and the poor study - I like the idea, but too idealistic, very impractical.<br />15. Corruption - Let’s say a law was passed to give 75% (or any other percentage) reservation to those under the poverty line in educational institutions, would others agree? (given the huge uproar against the reservation for backward caste(s) not too long ago) Also, if given, how many of them would return to do something for the upliftment of their own neighbourhoods / how do we ensure that they do? (We certainly can’t prevent brain drain.)<br />16. Debate?? Exaggerate?? Is this all what this topic is about? If yes, I’m definitely at the wrong place.<br />17. Social activists, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights - Good. To make the government take notice we need credibility - How many of us are ready to take up the responsibility/collective responsibility.<br />18. Migration from other states? - Dude, this is our country, our people. And so what if they are from other countries. We should be proud to live in a nation that offers something better than other nations. (Will we say then outsourcing of jobs to India and China is bad?)<br />19. Stop people in our neighbourhood from employing kids as servants - Would we help around our own house to lessen the load on our parents / will we pay them more if the parents of poor children worked and sent their children to school?<br /><br />Is this generation going to cry about what cannot be done and repeat the mistakes of past generations? Or are we going to create a more responsible society? We live in probably a golden age of technology and communication - spreading awareness is much easier. Are we up to the task? A revolution is required and not just an awakening. We require a structured, responsible and professional approach. Ideas, implementation within a given time-frame are the need of the hour.<br /><br />Are we ready? Are we willing?<br /><br /><br />Please RESPECT CHILDREN N GIVE THEM THEIR RIGHTS!!!<br /><br />Well we need to focus on the great issue that every child who is out of school is a child labour, it eradicate this problem we need to go on with “improvement” where its starts from “I” Stop paying to rack pickers or child beggars, instead you can negotiate some social organization near to you for their rehabilitation. If you even cant do it then call at nearby “100? phone No. as child labour is a punishable crime. Well Identify the child labour and Contact at the nearby social organization. Well it also need your support to Improve yourself… Try not to say any filthy language or abusive words for them in front of them it will help them learning good language at least.<o:p></o:p><br /><br />Don’t .. think as “India mein Muft Ki advice Bhut milti Hai”… I hope u all have seen the Reliance Mobile Ad.<br /><br />Not that everyone here are in the category.. but at least we have began and thats really something commendable … So people ..if you don’t have really time to spend on this social activities .<br />Don't give them money also…Yes it will lead them to be corrupt … better option to give them food .. please .. I think we can do that time in our precious free time’s.at any time if you see these children feel emotional and please help these kids… not with the money buy something to eat instead.<br /><br />The Global March Against Child Labour is a movement to mobilise worldwide efforts to protect and promote the rights of all children, especially the right to receive a free, meaningful education and to be free from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be harmful to the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.<br /></span>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-78235515582871121012009-03-16T16:06:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.146+05:30Think<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://poignantrose.blogspot.com/2008/07/think.html"><br /></a></span> </h3> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">There was a time<br />When the thoughts would not stop;<br />Tormenting body, mind and soul.<br />People wished it wasn't so.<br /><br />Now things have changed<br />And peace prevails.<br />Then why do they wish<br />For it to return?</span></p>Sai Prasadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017312307729010886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228847300739068351.post-58871411138357142392009-03-16T16:04:00.000+05:302009-07-16T14:41:59.154+05:30You are what you eat<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">You probably hear that all the time and go<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> "Blech... what nonsense."</span> Admittedly, so do I.
