Bunty Aur Babli

Yesterday I watched 'Bunty Aur Babli' our home remake of 'Catch Me If You Can'. As it is a remake of a superb Hollywood movie so here are added some Hindi masala like Babli is thrown in.It is not a brain teaser like Catch Me If you Can, but rather a sweet romantic movie.The first half is good but once Amitabh is introduced the movie is bogged down. May be by its own star weight.I really dont understand why Bollywood movies add so many of the songs. Its not that I am a big fan of Hollywood movies and dont like that song and dance malodrama of Bollywood movies.It is not like that. I really dont have problem all those beautifully crafted songs in some beautiful scenes.But it should match with the plot. Here in this movie the Chor and police meets together and start dancing behind Aisharya Rai..Its absurd. Again Amitabh is obscenly loud. A good actor wasted in a non fitting role.Anyways a movie you can enjoy with your friends/boyfriend/girlfriend. I like the movie and enjoyed it...There is great chemistry between Abhishek and Rani........

A little Though

There are so many things to be done. Can I afford to get bogged down by the small hurdles? No I cannot. Like a phonix I will rise again and again from the ashes and soar to the sky. I am really unfortunate in some of my decissions. I dont regret them,till now i have learnt quite deal from them. One of the truest fact of life is that 'There is no God'. we ourselves are master of our destiny. There is nothing written previously or decided by anybody that this person is going to be like this and he/she is going to face this and this problems.Its so uncertain. And because of this uncertainity people have created God, so that we can think in some bad moment of ours 'God is with me, he will help me'.The creation of God is also because of this purpose and also to maintain some kind of rules in people.If we would not have believe or fear of God we would have done anything under the sun. Because rather than the fear of Law its the fear of God that makes us not doing many-many things.This believe is necessary.Otherwise we will really ruin the rules of living.The teaching of our parents or Teachers are very important for us.I remeber always being told by my parents/teacher ' Dont do this dirty work, God is watching and you will be punished'. This is very true. Not in the sense that God will punish us but because our work only curve our destiny.If I do anything bad I will surely going to get remorse.For example suppose today I kill somebody(Extreme one), I may not be caught by the police and I may not be punished but the remorse I will be feeling will be great. To have a happier life we will have to go by the path that is socially acepted. This is very important for our own happiness(very selfish ha ;-) ).By the norms of society I am not talking about casteism or religion or anything but about the very human values.And one thing is certain there is no rebirth.Whatever u have to live, whatever you have do you have to do in this life only...Thats the truth,You believe or not!!!!
My discovery:-
One of the reason India is underdeveloped is that " We are so much bothered about our Marraiges,Families that we can hardly can work anything productive. For most of us its our aim is to get a good job. And once we get a good job the worry of our parents start 'Get him married'. Consent marriage(Love marraige) is strictly no no. It has to be parents choice.And then the whole family drama will start. This is sick. If someones want to mary somebody then the whole world comes after you. Why marry her? Why love her? She is such a slut!!!. Why you have to marry him? How much is he earning? Which caste he belongs to? No No....Why cant we live in peace? You love somebody marry him. You dont love him say i dont love you.Let our parents allow us to decide for ourselves. Right from what to read to where to go we are really not bound to be told by somebody.They also have so many important things to be done rather than worry about these things...There is a nation to be built ! "
How is my discovery?????

Six Thinking Hat

Few days back I had to undergo a training on Processes. There the lady who was taking our tarining told us about six thinking hat.I was very much impressed.So there is a way to take a good decission.Because I know most of us take decission as and when basis.That is Red Hat thinking. and when we think leisurly about our decessions we repent.
Six Thinking Hat is a tool developed by Edward de Bono and is discussed in his book '6 Thinking Hat'
The six thinking hat is something like this-

White Hat: With this thinking hat you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them.
This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data.
Red Hat: 'Wearing' the red hat, you look at problems using intuition, gut reaction, and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react emotionally. Try to understand the responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.
Black Hat: Using black hat thinking, look at all the bad points of the decision. Look at it cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work. This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It allows you to eliminate them, alter them, or prepare contingency plans to counter them.
Yellow Hat: The yellow hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult
Green Hat: The Green Hat stands for creativity. This is where you can develop creative solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking, in which there is little criticism of ideas. A whole range of creativity tools can help you here.
Blue Hat: The Blue Hat stands for process control. This is the hat worn by people chairing meetings. When running into difficulties because ideas are running dry, they may direct activity into Green Hat thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they will ask for Black Hat thinking, etc.

Black

Now it may be 2-3 month old.But the incident is still fresh in my mind.By now most of the people must have seen the movie 'Black' and some has liked it tremedously and some has disliked it like anything.I like this movie like anything.The kind of emotion that I experienced while I watched the movie I never felt before. I felt helpless while watching the little blind and deaf girl grow. How would be the world of a person who cannot see anything, who cannot say anything. How will she understand what is color. It is really moving. I never really thought much about the world of the people who are unable to hear and see like other people.While watching the movie I felt like I go right now and help her.The first time when she feels water and when she start realizing what her teacher was trying to do to her was so moving that my heart cried.The acting of the young girl I appreciate more than that of Rani Mukherjee. Rani was superb too.But I have a big complaint.Its for all those people who are well educated but dont know the value of education. There were a few boys and gals sitting behind me in the theater while watching the movie. It was the scene when Michele holds the hand of her teacher and wants a kiss from him. The guys and gals behind me erupted in big laugh and started passing luid remaks. I really felt sad. Here was the scene where a helpless girl wants to experience the womanhood and here were some other people who are laughing, I dont know on what, may be on their own womanhood or manhood.It was a really pathetic site to see how some people can react in that manner. we have shaped our thinking or emtotions based on all the C grade movies and cheap magazines and cheap TV serials that we see,and we tend to color everything with our color.Maybe someday we will understand true emotions or may be we will never.......

Pune Roads

The pune roads!!!!!When u go out in the road it feels as if we all are going to somekind of war and nobody has got any time left with oneself.And we all are in the verge of some blood pressure attack.Why we all are so hot and bolied up? Why we are so angry with each other? There the cycle wala is taking a wrong turn u just take ur head out and shout obscenities on him , as if we are just looking out for avenues to let off our frustration. The govt is doing all its best to damage the roads. One day u can see the PMC people blocking a road to lay new pitch on the whole raod, the next day the PMC again dig up that road to repair some sewage and the third day the whole road is made into a drain, because some private operators are digging it to lay cables....Is it funny...Its more than funny..Its a big comedy movie..Every single day I see accidents happening..And govt is saying that Pune is going to be the next IT hub...God save the foreigners who come over here..But cant this state of affairs be changed? Cant all the people or offices make a coordinated effort to resolve all the issues???Would anybody please listen?
