Ek 'Anna'r Sau Beemaar

Anna Hazare's pic morphed with Mahatma Gandhi's pic

Anna Hazare... A name which is known now to thousands if not yet millions.. Indians have supported Anna with rallies and candles all over the world...

But have they really supported Anna, or for that matter the cause??

Candles have been a filmy show for people which just looks good...

Rallies have turned out to be more of the get togethers for people in the rally.. 

Some have joined in the rally because they think its kinda interesting to be part of a rally and once in a lifetime they should be in for it... So are the rallies cited as to be for dual purpose?

Again there are people who were at the forefront in the rally to speak out their slogan...

Were the slogans for Anna? For the cause? For our country?

Maybe, but it looked like a few famous dialogues of Bollywood movies were handpicked and were shouted out on a repetitive basis...

Some went on to post their rally pics on Facebook, Orkut and other social networking sites... This was surely another purpose of those who were in the rallies...

Many people came up in front of news reporters and made comments for the cause... But did they actually know the cause exactly? I mean I would have seen similar comments even when India won the world cup earlier this year.. or for the matter even when they are losing terribly in England now.. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE THEN???

Am not saying that it in a negative way for each and everyone who was in the rally.. The masses mainly were there for every other thing but the cause...

Facebook and other social networking sites had updates which were inspirational and worth being happy off...

Some of them which made me happy were:

- Indian Origin Employees of Emirates Airlines are with you Anna. We are Proud of you - Gaurav Kakkar

- HOW CAN I SIT ENJOYING THIS WEEKEND WITH A SPLENDID MEALS WHEN ONE 75 YEAR OLD MAN(ANNA HAZARE) IS STRUGGLING THERE FOR ME N WELFARE OF OUR COUNTRY WITH OUT CARING HIS HEALTH........ME AS A RESPONSIBLE INDIAN FAST A DAY NOT 2 STARVE MY FELLOW INDIANS IN FUTURE..........THIS IS MY LITTLE CONCERN FOR MY INDIA.......WAKE UP GUYS DO UR PART............SAVE D COUNTRY.....CHANGE D COUNTRY....LEAD D COUNTRY.....

JAI HIND................................................ - Suneel Dommeti

-  neither is anna any politician nor he is a corporate tycoon but he is a great human being who has dedicated his 74 long years towards his country.. 

hats off for baburao hazare!! - Abhigyan Guha

Of course there were many such inspirational thoughts and along with it the rally updates were frequented for those who want to know and join the rally, but can I say that we are just saying it and don't mean it?

I think that I wouldn't be wrong in saying that...

Mahatma Gandhi had people for support who wanted to be free of the Britishers, cause justified and their hard work paid off...

Anna Hazare has the masses who maybe want to be free of the masses, but even want to keep the second thought active when they are down in some trouble... Isn't it?

Tomorrow if something happens to Anna, would we continue the movement or will we just back off? 

This movement has Anna written all over, are we still really there? 

I don't know what can such a movement be called. Is it a revolution or just an illusion?

I would like to conclude saying that its still just an illusion which can be a revolution....

Please correct em if am wrong....

'Bodyguard' Salman roxx

Salman is back to rule... 'Bodyguard' looks inspiring and fresh... Salman looks to kick other actors out once again... There is no stopping yet again...
Of course it is a remake of the Malayalam hit.. but Salman has his effect and the audience will be there to watch out for his role... Action is different when he is around... PURFECT for the role...
talking about the film... Well no need for now i suppose...
Talking about Kareena... She looks super cute in promos and undoubtedly will charm the audience with her cuteness...
For now its just Kareena and Salman... The pair has looked cute earlier in KYON KI and looks to keep audience engaged yet again....
A success story is yet again on its way it seems...
Talking about the music... Himesh Baba is back and has some good scoring for the film...
After a revival from Salman, he looks to be back with a bang for the movie...
'Teri Meri' ... song looks inspired but is a healthy combo of old gold music+lyrics with the freshness of Shreya Ghoshal and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan...

For the updates for the movie... There are a few to follow....

Committed or committed?

It’s my first blog post and a friend of mine suggested that I could start with a very complicated topic, RELATIONSHIP.

It is a good one maybe, considering the fact that everyone in this world is committed. Some are committed to humans, some to the heavenly god, while others are committed to freedom. Mind you, am in the third category and I feel it’s the best form of commitment. The major benefits of being in this category are known to all, like we can do anything and everything without real restrictions that someone will get hurt if we do something or if we don't. 

Is it that the third category commitments are really happy? Well, maybe not at all times, but the case is true to a greater extent.

For instance, people may say, “Get married, you are gonna suffer as it is, then why not get married and get tortured?”

The answer to the so called question from my side is, “If am not married, I’ll suffer but as the question hints, after getting married, I’ll get tortured...

What do you guys think about it? Am I right or left, coz am sure am not wrong.... ;)
