India is a Terrorist Country

I apologize for my radical heading. I assure you that I am a patriot, but still I would say India is a Terrorist Country.

It has two connotations -

a) It is a country where terrorists are breeding as fast as the population of China without anyone ever realizing it.

b) It is a country which allows its citizens to be terrorized and looks at the ongoings like some spectator.

Let me explain the first statement - We Indian are allowing terrorists to breed. Already the religious divide caused by the Great Geopolitical Divide that was partition has led to suspicion and hatred among the two most prominent religions. Added to that the politicians have further driven in the wedge. One of the religion holds extreme views and the religious teachers further drum it up with the students creating more hatred. This has led to that section of the society to be hands in gloves with the terrorists coz without local support no terrorist would dare carry out such bold operations . So we continue to breed terrorists and so we are a terrorist nation.

the second statement - the terrorist ran amok in our financial capital killing people. It was a known that they were from Pakistan. We already know where the terrorists camps are in Pakistan and What did India do ? Ohh nothing.. we just sat back allowing them to terrorize everyone. Then we gave the findings of the investigations to Pakistan and made a formal request to hand over the terrorists. Well !! we are still waiting and we would wait for long. Pakistan as before wont take any action and the World will go back to normalcy. But its us Indians who have suffered and not the World - we cant expect them to act for us. So our Politicians (cowards) let us take some action. India is the land where Gandhiji lived and told us to show our other cheek when slapped on one. But now our other cheek has also been slapped upon and now what do we do ? Its time to take action. Show them our butts.. smoke out the mujahideens(terrorists) from their rat holes.. Execute them.. If we keep on showing cheeks to get hit upon, a time will come when there will be no face left. It will be then better to die as a nation rather than live lives like cowards. Let us learn something from a small strip of land called Israel.

My heart bleeds for India. Jai Hind

Ghajini - A Review

I know its a little too late in the day and Ghajini might have grossed about 140 crores as I write this, but still I think I ought to write this, after all I did spend some 300 bucks on watching this latest fisticuff flick from Aamir and left the theater a little disappointed. I think I did get some of my money back - Rs 100 from the cosy seats, Rs 10 for the AC, Rs 50 for the pretty ushers... hmm ok I am being mean.

So Why did Ghajini make me mad ?

Did I expect something out of ordinary from it ? Did Aamir fail as an actor ? Was it really a bad flick ?

Well, I will try to answer these to the best of my ability - Yes, No, No

Ghajini as a dishum-dishum flick scores at 10/10, but if I really wanted to see such a flick, I would have seen a no-brainer from Jat da puttar Sunny Deol. With Aamir, certainly I expected more. My main complaints are that lot of reel was spent on developing the romance between Aamir and Asin, but similar treatment was not provided to the bald-headed Aamir. Several things were left unanswered. Where did Aamir get the superhuman strength? Who ran his business while he was away ? Nobody suspected or checked what this guy was doing away from office ? What role did his PA pay in all this ? As he was the only one aware of Aamir's love for Asin, did he not know that Aamir might be hell bent on revenge or something ? Nobody asked him why did he get such a massive body ? who was his trainer ?

What should have the director or the storyline done ?

It should have concentrated on how Aamir turns himself into a killing machine. Should have given more depth to the second character. It should have shown how he channelled his rage into his body and how he learns martial arts and other killing arts. How he tracks the man who killed Asin, how he tracks down Ghajini's minions, and a little something more. All that romance and songs are good, but when you make a dark movie, please keep it dark luv.


Though critics might be of the opinion that Asin did overact, she did bring that mint freshness to the movie. She might or might not click in Bollywood, one of the deterrent being her bod being on the heavier side, but she sure is a fresh breath of air. Aamir rocks - whether its the shy businessman or the crazy revenge-seeking baldy. He should have gone soft on the nose flaring and teeth baring and the snorts and growls, but it might have been the director who is at fault. Aamir could have expressed much more ferocity and anger and craziness through his eyes. All that aside, hats off to Aamir as he successfully pulled off such a flick just after the sensitive Taare Zameen Par and the eight packs are evidence of how much efforts he puts into all his roles.

All in all, good for a one time see....
