Dhanak Review – Simplicity can singlehandedly destroy all complexities! Dhanak is a film that shows that if a person is simple hearted with sheer faith in goodness….then good is bound to happen to such people! All hardships are auto-removed from the path of such people. And yes, these are the people who believe in the miracles of God…and God too is only too ready to fulfil their little, simple desires through HIS various angels! It is a story about a blind brother and his elder sister whose parents die in some…

Udta Punjab Review – A 'No Solution' scenario in India
Udta Punjab Review While watching this film I was reminded of something that Swami Vivekananda had said about a 100 years ago. He said – not exactly his words, but the essence of what he said – that India will remain in Tamasic disposition for the next 100 years…so in the meanwhile they should focus on sports and try to remain healthy by participating in athletics etc. He was so right! In this movie we can see different kinds of people succumbing to drugs. Some were forced into it, some…

How human psyche changes with constant bombardment of idiocy! 1980 – Insaaf ka Tarazu – We, the scandalized people, discussed and cussed in hushed tones whether it was right to show an Indian woman in a bra and panty – we were like hawwwww!! 2016 – Kapoor & sons – We, the drooly pig-like people, gladly and pop-eyed-ly and mouth-wateringly watched Alia in a tiny-winy bikini. People are nor ordering for the same online! So who brought about such great mind change among we, the people? Like initially females were…

Thank God! I missed 1st Division by 2% at B.Sc. Graduation. Hi folks! Surprised by the title? Do not be, I will tell you exactly how missing 1st division by 2% helped me in my life! Honestly I was not even fond of pursuing Masters followed by PhD. and stuff! I am talking about early 90’s. At that point of time we hardly knew much about any career options etc. Masters degree meant becoming a Professor or doing some research work in a laboratory smelling of formaldehyde.. or whatever –…

Bengali Film: Hospital | 1960 – A review Famous song- Ei sundor swarnali sandhay So these two doctors – Saibal & Sarbari – yea both educated enough to understand family planning and using condoms etc. – dive on bed …for sex of course – rather unsafe sex and lo behold….she becomes pregnant!

Celebrities better not endorse Sahaja Yoga! When I had just about joined Sahaja Yoga way back in 2002, I heard other sahajees discussing about a certain lady celebrity (name withheld) who had taken the blessings of Shree Mataji and she had won the most sort after beauty pageant that year. Sahajees were also discussing that if she (the model) wanted, she could have really taken Sahaja Yoga much forward by just spreading the word of what Kundalini shakti is all about and if only she had talked about Shree Mataji…
Read MoreWhy do couples engage in PDA (Public Display of Affection)?
This Maybe a Theory…. Why do couples engage in PDA (Public Display of Affection)? Let me cite and example of a yesteryear film ‘Piya ka ghar’. In this ghar (house of Hubby), the entire family used to sleep in one room! Obviously newly and legally wedded couples would want to explore each other…which they were not able to do amidst other family members. Like when citizens do not pay heed to Government rules like ‘Hum Do, Humare do’ – such things are bound to happen! A match-box sized house and…
Read MoreKapoor & Sons Film – First Review
Yes! Very KaPoor-ish style! Females are not given much clothes to wear – men, on the other hand are all wearing full pants if you notice! All females are made to wear tiny nothings so that they are able to do what they are born to do – Arouse / turn on males by showing their semi-nude selves! I have been watching Raj Kapoor films since childhood and most of the films certainly contained his signature style (USP) – Semi Nude female as the lead actress! In fact he is…
Read MoreWhy do you feel that Sita Mata suffered?
Why do you feel that Sita Mata suffered? As soon as she got married, she left with her husband to live independently – without the interference of mother-in-laws! She got the single minded and single hearted devotion of her husband Shri Rama – for all the 13 years while she was with him!! Had Shri Rama been made the king, he would have gotten busy with the mundane affairs of the kingdom and would never have spent time with Sita Mata! More than a wrath, it was a boon for…
Read MoreReservation – When, Where & Why?
Reservation – When, Where & Why? You can reserve seat in public transport for the aged, pregnant & physically handicapped persons. An area is also reserved exclusively for ladies only so that they are saved from any untoward incident that may occur if some loafer/ cheapster happens to board the train or bus and has eve-teasing/ groping as his favorite pass-time! Job Reservation or special quota based of caste Very wrong idea! A job should be alloted only and only and only on the basis of merit. Period. Job Reservation…
