Forgotten


The forgotten sentiments, sometimes sprangs up in our memory.

An entity which sometimes pops up, again it melts down.

Movies,Songs etc have now become the flag bearers of true flag.

We see the movies, our sentiments flow,we feel the thing.

As Rang de Basanti did…The Robaroo song ignited the fire…..

The spark came but again after a fortnight same eroded thoughts.




As famous American critic 'Ambrose Bierce' said

'In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first '

A man now does not have any time to look out for broader things, as his own mindset

Alongwith his deeds are trying to find the narrowest lane, where the lights are glistening.

It doesn’t mean everytime you have to die to show how big a partisan you are

It means doing small things, it means following certain principles.

But in the battle for survival for fittest who has the time to look at

These things.

Its easy to say ' is desh ka kuch nahin ho sakta' but how many of us Have come forward as 'DJ' did to rectify the situation.


Its easy to reproach but to take the responsibility and carve a space

For your country by yourself is gruelling.

Lets try to do a very simple thing to remember the forgotten element

Badla


Runs scored…….wickets shattered……an innings win………..

Indian cricket team has won the Badla series…the revenge is being taken.



All the batsmen scored centuries……..bowlers bowled well……one more

Series victory over minnows like Bangladesh,Zimbabwe or even away win at Windies.

Where is this going?........what is the root cause? We are blaming the coach……..

Greg Chappel the perfect scapegoat…….Dravd's subdued captaincy.

I think focal culprit is the cricket board, their policies, their inablility of

Getting elegant batsmen, real fast bowlers(not like Zaheer and all)…….agile

Fielders……capable all-rounders(Karthik-give me a break)……………….

For that we have to dig inside…….under-16,under-19 cricket has to be encouraged…….

Make them to play on bouncy tracks……..arrange foreign tours…let them play

Agianst Aussie,English juniors………..expose them …let them face it…..mature them,build

Them………………

Some officials who don’t know A,B and C of cricket have been ruling the roost

In BCCI, making imperative decisions……………

The asli badla when Indian team will be able to win series,torunaments

Abroad,playing on bouncier and sporting wickets.

Otherwise the history will repeat itself nicely.

Are you thinking?

Ray's nuances simplified, a contemporary story punctuated with the human idealism.

Pratidwandi or 'The Adversary' in my view is Ray's one of his best films.













A character dwindled, an idealist whose idealism wants to go away from him.

A lost childhood tranquility,innocent serenity metamorphoses into youth rage.

The movie captures the social conditions which prevailed in Calcutta now Kolkata

In 1970's, brilliantly imagined parallelism by Ray magnifies his vision.

Corruption, unemployment depicted as the major contemporary problems.

Pretty much diversed from Ray's earlier movies….where he first time plants his foot

In urban genre……….here he proves his true versatility keeping his true signature

Temparment.

What was that?

it happened really......

Shaken by bomb blast or stunned by nuclear tests……life became

Dynamic and moving for a moment.

All the senses started flowing, what was that?

Saturday morning….i was drained after another exhaustive week.

Sleeping nicely…….suddenly this…..traumatized and dazed….

I was totally knocked for a six……….what was that?………

Its true…….i have never experienced this……………….

Straight lines got curved……..geometrical equations were false

What was that?……………..

Yeah…common now……….i was taken aback by seismic forces

Movement of tectonic plates caused……..means it did all the above things

Yes it was an Earthquake…….Richter scale 4.3

Epicenter not far than my place……………..

English Channel mein epicenter………..folkestone and dover got affected…..

That was that
