BREAKAWAY FROM THE CAGE: Nagesh Kukunoor

Winning the race is not as important as being in the race. This phrase is what leads a lot in this country not realizing that when the winner started the race there was no one around. Nagesh didn't try to find his career as a chemical engineer and though most of his movies didn't do well in box-office, they do kind of reflect a lot of the subconscious minds of most of us. Breaking away from the cage is what makes the difference. Having said and done all that is in your mind won't make you a legend but will surely get you a wall in the back of your mind where you can put all your souvenirs and prize them as being the biggest break through in your life.

Rockford: a manifestation of a typical Boarding school life where there are seniors who bully you for your goods and classmate who are forced to bow before one self assigned leader inorder to survive. Rajesh goes out of the league and fights back for his rights. A little difficulty initially turns out to be an eye opener for all and a change in the unwritten law.

Iqbal: somebody who cannot hear his name being called out can actually imagine the sound of an applause for him by the millions of cricket fans sitting in a stadium. Being kicked out of the biggest cricket academy in town because of some big-shot's son who got clean bowled (literally) by Iqbal, he continues his practices with another kicked-out nobody oldie and finally surmounts the age old corrupt system just like Abhimanyu and his Chakravyu.

Aashayein: millions of individuals out there have myriad dreams to live with. A dying heart has but one, to find a way to live longer. Rahul was not able to bear with the news of his cancer but when he actually settled down with the fact that he had less time to beat his ordained fate, he sets out to make the day for others like him. An Indiana Jones who has to free all the captured souls in order to free himself from this fate.

Mod: Aranya is used to her variably spiced yet monotonous life of being a watch repairer cum hotelier  until she falls in love with a psycho. She regrets being in love with a mental patient but when she finds the truth about his condition she decides to save him from the torture of electric shocks not giving a second thought to the fact that he might not be able to remember her after the trauma. Leaving her world behind she gives life a chance with a little ray of hope from Abhay whistling her signature tune.

I Mess you life :(

Is it politically incorrect for someone (specifically a girl) to use abusive language for friends and then pick on the other ones on her facebook wall? I hope not. I live in times when sharing of a sophisticated relationship is only with enemies and fair-weather friends. I cannot hug my girlfriend and say, "OMG!!! Sweetu I missed you. You look stunning today." Even if I did miss her, I would rather drag her by the collar, smell her and say,"Bitch!!! Did you even take a bath?" My facebook wall is for my friends and not someone who reads each and every post of mine and then start scrutinizing me as if the next thing I am going to do is upload a nude picture of mine. Life isn't hard, but people around you try hard to make it just that. I came to a halt before unfriending my friend's Mom. Maybe this was not such a good idea for my well cultured and sophisticated image on her. Ask me, do I even care? Yes and no. My facebook interactions with people I know, are ...

Repercussion, Retrospection and Reparation

Life has a lot of repercussions of our past actions followed by our retrospection on what we did and then our reparations for mending the wrong we did. I have been making a lot of these reparations for the repercussions of my past actions. My first mistake was studying so hard all my life for no reason. I was in a race to be the first one without knowing where I was going or where I wanted to be.  I was not good with physical activities. To hide my insecurities I made sure I excelled in something at least to keep my confidence high. There were two repercussions. On was I started gaining weight and now I am unhealthy to the point where I feel I want to go back and change this part of my life. The second repercussion was that I started doing things under pressure, not realizing where my actual interest was. Now I am just dissatisfied with my life. My second mistake was, I was always too emotionally dependent on my friends. Because I was so emotionally attached, I expected ...

What is my religion???

I paced up and down, confused and demented by so many thoughts that came to my mind. I felt like a centipede who when asked how he manages to walk with so many legs, ended up on his back trying to intellectually figure it out. I got a copy of my own Bhagwat Geeta with an English translation to get an answer to my questions from the book of life. My fascination to read Geeta, died after I was constantly reminded of taking my shoes off before reading even if it was freezing cold, to read it only inside the temple and not lying on my bed, and to read it just after the bath and not anytime before or after. I don't remember the last time I went to a temple or touched the feet of an idol. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, my friend asks me to accompany her to the temple and I, out of my sisterly feeling for her, end up deviating from my route. My trip to Maheshwar and Omkareshwar was more of a "just get the hell out of Bhopal" thing than a pilgrimage. Trying to figure out where...
