The Golden 8


SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ** applauds**

Neatly plausible movie. Critical Outbursts. Soundtrack – magnum opus. Worldwide appreciation. Artistically adapted screenplay. An out-of-the-box treat for viewers. A clear sweep at OSCARS. A pleased Indian.

Mighty A R Rehman does it again. Royally.

:: PS :: Wall-E won the best animation flick. ^J^ . Had to.


Best actor in a supporting role to Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight). Well merited.

R.I.P Amen.


Also, I feel A R Rehman has always been associated with his eloquent music, his better implacable music being in Bombay and Roja. Just that this time, it was acknowledged worldwide. Thanks to the firang director. ;)

I was quite pleased with the Oscars as well (even if they're grossly political). Slumdog definitely deserved it.

I saw Slumdog today only

You are right...its only a work of firang, thats why global recognition

Going by these standards Rahman should have won 20 Oscars for Rangeela

A. R. Rahman deserved every bit of the applause that he's been getting, what if it wasn't his best work ever... you can only get as good as the competition!

Gauche

I am known for my worst timing, be it at home, college, trains, anywhere… wrong place, wrong time, wrong expression. My expression on the face and mind are absolutely tangent. Its good to some extent, considering my timing, I could’ve have easily been smacked by people like a million times. I even laugh when I know its wrong to. =| My equation at home is sort of normal. I don’t talk much. My behavioral pattern if observed is very discreet. So people (the mom, the dad) basically don’t know what all I know and what I don’t. They think I’m pretty dumb in things remotely related to the crazy hormone stuff and others (yeah right!) For eg: a few months back my mom asked me if I know what ‘rape’ meant. To which I subtly nodded a yes without looking at her though my mind was blaring that my gyaan attained soaring heights in 7 th grade alright… I know what these tiny words mean! *rolls eyes* The key here is the awkward silence that prevails. The clash at times is so freaking-ly unbelievabl...

Go Die !

I stand at the edge now. Giving up all I have, or maybe the ‘nothing’ that I’ve achieved. People whom I know and otherwise have their fingers pointing towards me making weird gestures. What a chaos! My mind’s thinking too loud for me to even listen to their pleas. All I can hear is my heart beating in my head, loud and clear. Why are they even concerned about me? Do I owe them anything? I have done enough wrongs and I cannot take this shit anymore. I hate my life. There’s nothing right that’s happening and I know I’m a burden to my parents. Look at these people begging to me right now.. Should I give up my life? I guess .. To witness a suicide is an experience in itself. I saw one today and I was cold for hours. A girl standing on the parapet of a 7-storey high building, facing towards the entrance of the terrace only to see people screaming, begging and pleading not to jump. I was unquestionably disturbed by the sight. I had the feeling of my head going totally numb, mouth dry and...

FUTURISTIC WORLD

Image
Suffice to say, its set in the future, Earth is over-crowded, and there’s no room to move. Maybe the cities on the planet have grown so much that they’ve merged into one big, planet-sized, city. With the ever hiking population crisis that we (the world) are facing, growth as a city, in t erms of infrastructure and services becomes very critical. The revolution has started already. Overcrowding of cities has forced the planners to look beneath the land. For instance, the New Amsterdam city that’s going to be constructed beneath the exi sting one. One whole city under the ground!! [ How low can it get?] The area crisis is coercing the planners to dig deeper and also, escalate vertically and beyond. I’m sure in future, technology will reach to such an opti- mum that we would erect something floating in the air too! Unbelievable Science, you see! Our existing skyline would look nothing less than an artistic mockery of national integration! People would be commuting comfortably fro...
