http://www.loc.gov/acq/ovop/delhi/salrp/khushw...

down to writing again. In between, I did so many forgotten things like, finishing a NOVEL from start to end…This was my nostalgic moment of the year and what a way to witness it. I read Truth, Love and Malice, the autobiography of Khushwant Singh.

It’s a wonderful novel, which traces journey of one the most celebrated writer of this country. It gives you the inside story of the high and mighty, we have had all these years and what they were really like. My opinion about Khushwant Singh has mostly been formed through some of his columns I have read, reading women in life and History of Sikhs(volume-1), watching train to Pakistan, the movie,  and hearing from family members from him.

Frankly speaking, the family around me does not think very highly of him…Could be because of him being atheist. “Women in my life” was a semi porn novel ;) and was fun during college days. Appreciating it now would raise lot of eyebrows and his columns are enjoyable but not out of world.

Still deep down I was always intrigues by this personality and wanted to read on what made him so sought after and then out of nowhere, Sandeep passed this novel to me and i got hooked to it.

Few points worth enjoying in this memoir are:

  1. You witness history from the eyes of someone, who has literally lived a whole century or is one verge of completing one. The whole novel is gripping and entertaining from start to end.
  2. Khushwant Singh is not diplomatic in bringing out incidents with the high and mightiest of the era gone by. He is just blunt in his views about everyone from Nehru, Indira Gandhi to Menon and this is the best part about the novel. He stays truthful to himself and in the process; he brings out the real untold stories of these personalities, who have this clean image. In case you have a chance to read this novel, do read about this particular incident where he asks Meera Kumari, the yesteryears famous actress on who she is and she snubs him on his face.
  3. How many times have you heard a writer admitting in his autobiography, about him being a failure? Khushwant Singh frankly accepts that he was a failure as a lawyer and if it wasn’t for his dad, they would have seriously struggled to meet ends. His love for writing helped him and helped his reach, where he is today. Do read about his law practice in Lahore.
  4. His tenure in Parliament, where he was recommended by Congress and he turns against them after operation blue star. The humor associated with how our parliamentarians treat parliament as a joke is worth reading and is worth reading.
  5. His stint in Hindustan Times is most enjoyable. This is the time when he starts writing his famous column, which is published till date in the newspaper.

 

I do disagree with him on one point, which also happened to be the most awaited chapter of his novel.

It was about his views on God. It’s no secret that he is an Atheist. Still, he has translated Japji and has read Guru Granth sahib thoroughly and agrees to the fact that it gives him peace to hear to rehras, he evening prayer of Sikhs. It was hard ot digest that he is an atheist or it could be me being a Sikh and finding it hard to find a Sikh, who does not believe in god but still is unshaven and has never cut his hair .

Khushwant Singh writes about his look providing him a belonging to the community, where he was much revered, after his course of actions, post operation blue star but somehow I find hypocrisy in his claim to be an Atheist.

Anyways it’s his personal opinion and disepit the disagreement, I share the same opinion as him on how the pundits, maulvis, granthis have manipulated our religion. Today we are ready to slaughter anyone on the religion on drop of a pin and follow these manipulative so called leaders of our religion, we recite shaloks from our holy books, whose meaning are hardest to explain, assuming it will help us in attaining salvation and when out of the temple, we are back to what we do best, now let me not get into all this J.

No wonder, the complicated the language of our recitals is, the more we believe, it will get us nearer to God., I have seen my near and dear ones reading same lines for years without knowing a meaning of single word and forcing me to do it.

No wonder, I have started refusing it and they consider me a kind of outcast J

Alright, enough of gyaan…It’s time to wrap up the blog.

I just loved the novel and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a not so boring, not so intellectual and a simple, enjoyable autobiography.

And before I end, I was literally finding it hard to start writing on my blog and juts to maintain the flow, had taken to writing stupid movie reviews.

One chapter in the novel about how difficult it is to write, kind of inspired me and here I am back, doing what u do best….Writing and feeding fuel to my stupid Viewphoria.me

Cheers!!! J

Reviews of Paan singh tomar and Dirty Picture

Paan Singh Tomar

Paan Singh Tomar (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Having seen so many stupid Bollywood movies trailers on TV, we had decided to avoid at least most of them for some time and finally turned to Hollywood to give us some entrainment with their cinema

and guess what, it was a complete let down to watch John carter and Ghost rider. It was unimaginative cinema, with some over the top acting.

Since the Hollywood was no better off in comparison to Bollywood, we decided to turn back to our desi cinema and ended up watching two of the finest movies in recent times, with some impeccable acting from the lead protagonists in the flicks.

Dirty Picture:

Believe me there is nothing dirty about the movie, other than the name. Vidya Balan portrays the characters of silk smitha perfectly and gracefully. A long time back Tabu was a brand name in Bollywood, which could carry any movie on the basis of her performance. A rare sight of Indian cinema, which has always been dominated by males, with the only job of female leads to look good, dance good and act bad. Precisely speaking, they have always been second fiddle to the make leads in the movies.

The movie comes at a time, when meaningful cinema has slightly getting and edge over commercial cinema and the audience had realized the worth of their ticket price for watching a flick.

Hats off to Vidya Balan to have carried of such a touch role, with so much poise and reminding us those movies with female leads can still do well.

And Ma’am you were absolutely right Bollywood main bas 3 cheezein bikti hain

“Entertainment, Entertainment aur Entertainment”

You definetly gave us a lot of it J

Paan Singh Tomar:

Irrfan Khan is one of the kost underrated actor in Industry. Compare him to the khans, kapoors of Bollywood and you will see an underdog, who has been trying so hard to establish a name for him but guess what, he just ended up playing one of best roles of his life.

His portrayal of Pan Singh Tomar, a national athlete turned dreaded dacoit, required someone exceptional to pull it off and he did that to perfection.

What really stood out in the whole performance is how Irrfan khan, so easily transforms from an athlete to the dacoit, One moment you see him participating in national meets and winning metals and the other moment, he is the robin hood of Chambal.

The dialogues in the flick are excellent and I still cannot forget the straight forward look on irrfan khan’s face when he says

“Hum Daaku nahi Baagi hain…Daaku toh Parliament main milktey hain”

Rightly said Mr. Irrfan Khan…I wish the movie was real and someone could shoot these dacoits  :)

The curious case of Indian Cricket Team

Looking at how well Indian cricket team has been performing outside India, there have been calls for desperate measures suggested by experts to make them perform better J

I just thought of summarizing all these points and adding some of mine.

India cricket crest

Image via Wikipedia

Here is the list:

1.      Charge spectators

Ohh God, please save us from the agony of watching these matches. I am a diehard cricket and literally fight with my wife. I deprive her of her shopping and mall visits and I am sure there are many like me out there, who go through this painful process to see the team loose in the end.

My suggestion is that we guys should be charged USD 20/hr to watch these matched. Not only will it help BCCI generate more revenue, it will save poor souls like me from getting poorer.

2.      Make BCCI, the supreme body

Mr. Srinivisan is a rich guy. He owns Indian Cements, BCCI, Chennai super kings and most importantly the heart beat of this nation, Cricket. The only thing he lacks in his kitty is ICC, please make him that and we can have all rules made according to our cricket team.

We can manipulate them to win more matches.

3.      Have more matches on Indian soil

Every time we lose, we should make our competitors play in our country and that too not in stadium but our galis. Let them see the place, where Dhoni invented his helicopter shot.

They need to understand, we are not sour losers but we are ghar ka sher.

4.      Don’t inform team about the format of matches

The way Indian team played this Australian series, you would think they were playing test matches in one day and 20-20 cricket in test matches.

My idea is that the format should be kept as surprise for them and they should only be told about it, once we are mid way in the match.

This sounds like a stupid idea…Still some times, stupidity works ;)

5.      Raise the retirement age to 50

Ton-dulkar will play till his 100 the 100 is not achieved, lax-man will play till his vision gets blurred due to age and until and unless the whole wall does not come down, dravid will continue to play.

Why don’t we make it official? Retirement age is 50 and anyone who comes to Indian cricket team will get a permanent job till 50, with full pension and other benefits.

6.      Have official parties after each match for youngsters

We definitely need to give refreshment breaks to our youngsters after matches. Poor guys, they field so well and have to compete with aging cricketers for their places.

They definitely deserve few drinks to let go off their sorrow, for loosing matches so miserably.

7.      80% IPL : 20% other cricket

One place where no country is a looser is IPL. The best part is all players from the world place against each other.

Let’s have at least two seasons of IPL every year. It’s a perfect remedy to save our cricketers from going through this trauma of losing a match for their country. In IPL, at least they can say “Our IPL team lost” which sounds much better than “India Lost”

8.      Frequent breaks featuring stars

Our cricketers are so engrossed with the ads they do that they get it on field. There have been so many times, cricketers advertising for toothpaste companies flash their teeth after every ruin they score.

Anyways, let’s give the advertisers official freedom to have breaks in between and make cricketers on field to do the ads in costumes. This will help them with their concentration towards game and will also help cricketers, who have never gotten an ad to get some ads under their belt.

9.      Cheerleaders in international cricket

We want skimpy clad cheerleader. Please don’t get us the ones, used by sahara pune warriors in last game.

This is one of the reason we love mallya, he just knows, how to keep us glued to cheerleaders…OOPS…I mean cricket ;)

10.   Different team for fielding and batting/bowling

The biggest challenge for Indian team is half of them cannot bowl, the other half cannot bat and the rest (sitting on bench) cannot do both J and all of them cannot field.

Simple solution is we should be allowed to have different team for each aspect of game and once our charming president of BCCI becomes ICC chief we can very well implement the same

 

While I was writing this blog, India chased 300+ in 40 over and I thought “Dude, they are going to kick you for writing this blog”.

My prayers have been ANSWERED; India has not qualified for final. In fact, they did not deserve to qualify.

It’s a perfect end to their pathetic oversees tour and now they can come back in India and

“Dey ghuma kay to the visiting team.”

Agneepath Revisited

Return of my filmy moment:

Phew!!!

My moment of filminess is back. Me, Maneet and our little one watch the first movie together and what a better start to this, than to watch, Agneepath.

Agneepath

Image via Wikipedia

Tu na rukega kabhi, tu na jhukega kabhi…

Heard you Hrithik, we are definitely going to be watching lot of movies in coming months.

The comparison:

Being a huge bachan fan, I am going to be a little biased with the old version J

Thumbs up!!!

It’s always a challenge to stand up to something, which has been so much critically acclaimed and earned the lead protagonist a national award. Though the new version looses out on lot of things, I am going to stand on an optimist note with of the points, which really stood out.

1. Sanjay Dutt:

Give him a role, where he gets to play himself and he can beat the best. Khalnayak has been one of the best roles, baba has portrayed till date and as Kancha, he just goes a little ahead and beats Khalnayak of past.

He is a pure incarnation of DEVIL. Every time he is shown on screen, he manages to send shivers down the spine. Since Ambrish Puri passed away, there has been a huge void in the Villanology subject in Bollywood.

 

Sanjay Dutt just filled in the gap with one of his best performance.

 2.     Rauf lala

 

No wonder, Ranbeer Kapoor is one of the finest actors today and when you look at Rishi Kapoor portraying the mobster, Rauf-Lala, you would know, the acting is in the family and he has picked the right genes from his Dad.

 

Rauf lala as a drug lord, who is involved in human trafficking and is a foe to Kancha is portrayed perfectly by Rishi Kapoor.

 

Hats off to him for carrying this difficult role, with so much poise and ease.

 3.      Chikni Chameli

 

Imagine one song in the movie and she steals the show. With those jhatkas and matkas with her sexy dance movies as chikni chameli in the item song, Katrina does leave an impact at all the right places (no hidden meaning J )

4.      Fight sequence in between hrithik and sanjay:

 

It was like Vin Diesel and Rock fighting in Fast and Furious. If such kind of fight sequence was to be replicated in Bollywood, there cannot be a better choice than Sanju baba and Hrithik.

Wow!!! I just loved the fight sequence.

 

Thumbs Down:

 1.      Priyanka Chopra:

 

The most emotional moment in the movie turns out to be the biggest moment of relief for me. No prizes for guessing, it was Kaali (priyanka) being shot be a bunch of gangsters sent by Kancha.

 

She was just not required in the movie. From smiling or blushing unnecessarily in every scene, priyanka is a wasted talent in this movie.

 

Though she plays the role of being a sidey actor to Hrithik perfectly, we deserve something better from our female leads. Especially after, what Vidya did with Silk Smitha.

 2.      Madwa Recreated:

 

Harry porter meets Agneepath and we have madwa recreated. Karan johar and the team wanted to make it as original as possible to the old slum of the past movie, still they failed miserably. Thanks to sanjay dutt for taking away our attention from this Madwa.

 3.      The story:

Ismey drama hai, dance hai, action hai aur purain hindi filmon ki maa bhi hai. Still there was something missing. It looked like the whole story was written in a hush and the movie directors were just trying to fit in all the scenes, which were there in the old movie and they failed miserably.

It was a typical cut and paste Job (the software industry lingo).

 4.      Maaaaaaa in movie

 

Ufff…Every dialogue she delivered was loud. It looked like her lungs would come out of her mouth. I can understand, her trying to ape rakhi but she just went a little overboard with her performance and was irritating, to say the least.

 Not to forget:

 1.      Hrithik Roshan:

 I don’t know how to rate him. He was good with what he was trying ot do i.e, be “Vijay Deenanath Chauhan” but his role required him to be at least a notch higher than good, because hee was filling in shoes of Big B.

 2.      Om Puri:

 This was a decent performance from Om Puri.

 

We missed:

1.      Mithun Chakarborty’s role:”

How can they remake Agneepath without Mithun’s role, from the original? I can still recall the role of mithun. He was impeccable, as a madrais and how can we forget the perfect tamil speech, he gives in the original Agneepath.

2.      The aura of Amitabh Bachan:

The angry young one cannot be aped. He is inimitable and the new Agneepath misses him miserably.

The latest one has broken some record, still it does not size up to the classic.

My ratings would be 6/10 for Agneepath : redefined.

11-o-11

LIBYA/

Year ’11 has to go down in the history as one of the most eventful year.

From Arab spring to Europe’s cashless winter, we saw it all.

In India, it was the rise of Anna-cules and daredevil middle class, who defied the Government of India.

Lokepal turned to joke pal and our government babus had fun at the expense of our poor public.

This definitely has to be the year, where FIGHT AGAINT CORRUPTION has been the talk of the town and though our government can claim to be an innocent bunch of idiots, we know what they did last year J

Here is my list of 11 from ‘11

1.      Rags v/s Riches

Thou shalt not look down upon as your poor cousins.

This is what the writing on the wall was for our fair skin cousins.

In 2011, Europe went broke, especially the Greeks, where PLUTUS turned his back on them and made them realize that “Euro” was not such a good idea.

Yankees, for the first time in ages really understood on how bad an idea it was to mortgage and while they were busy smoking out the terrorists from god knows which all places, their economy has been smoked out by reasons best known to them.

India as an economy blossomed in the first half of ’11 and just went it looked, we would be on top of the world, came the sad part, we were not as good and solid as we thought. It was one of those bollywood movies, where the lead actor, despite bashing up all the goonies, looses the actress to a sidey actor…How Filmy!!!

2. ar-Rabīʻ al-ʻArabiyy aka The Arab Spring

Countries like Yemen, Libya, Egypt and Syria have had a long history of dictators, who had been befriended by The Yankees, to sell their arms and buy fuel at affordable prices.

It was a “You scratch my back and I will scratch yours” story, where the dictators committed human rights violations and looted their countries at will, the world remained mute spectators, because these were the guys, who consumed their weapons at sky high prices and in lieu, provided them the Black Gold or some valuable mineral.

The problem started, when the Dictators, become too bigs for their shoes and started dictating terms to the Big Brother.

This led to the Arab Sprin, where how much USA would deny its involvement in the revolution; they have literally funded the whole movement.

The revolution has led to dethroning of dictators in Libya and Egypt and has made way to elections, etc, which might sound ideal for a country, being ruled by a dictator for ages.

The truth is the results have been far from encouraging.

The countries stand in turmoil, with clashes happening every day and like every other country, USA has tried to be a helping partner, they would leave these two countries too in political turmoil.

 

3. Finally the revered cup is back

 

WOW!!! Ask me to rate the best thing to have happened in 2011 and this tops the list. Every time I think of the world cup gone by, pose of dhoni hitting the final six always comes to my mind.

 

There has been loss to England, etc,etc after this world cup but then for Indian team 100 khoon maaf, since they played the world cup of their life to lift this revered cup.

4. Anna-cules!!!

This year belonged to this ex-solider from Indian Army. Our desi Hercules against the corruption fight, has been a thorn in the flesh for every single politician in India and has been a force of inspiration of every Indian.

 

He is the new messiah of middle class Indians in their fight against corruption and will be a man to watch out for in the coming year. His performance in the political game has been at par with the like of Jay Prakahs and if statistics are to be believed, he just might overtake everyone as the most loved personality of 2011.

5. Scam-o-meter touches an all time high

 

I have something for this -o-. It helps me in experimenting with different words. Anyways, scams were the flavor of season in 2011. It’s not like we have never seen them in past, it’s just that this time our scamomtere touched 100, which is a danger mark.

 

By the time year end, raja was no more a raja, kalmandi’s dictatorship went thandi and the law of land caught up with some high profile ministers and corporate.

6. Bollywood calling

 

Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, lady gaga are some of the high profile Hollywood celebrities who visited bollywood. The bollywood market, which has has always been looked at as a nach gaana market, finally catches the fancy of firangi Junta and though AB acting with Russel Crow would be a distant dream, I can at least imagine Rakhi acting with Russel peters.

I know it was a bad joke but see, it’s my blog and I am allowed to crack my PJs for a change.

7. The Golden year

 

There were two things which especially ruled this year and one of them is Gold. Every time I thought about buying gold, it went out of my reach and though the golden chariot finally slowed down by end of year, realizing there is no money with anyone to buy it.

 

Given a chance, I would definitely want to raise a toast to my broken golden dreams.

8. Speedy inflation

 

When was the last time you checked the prices of the vegetables or electronic items? You better look at where they stood at the start of 2011 and end of 2011 and you will realize, what I mean.

9. God v/s Kim Jong-il

 

I remember calling him i-pill in one of my blogs, around 1 year back. The man, who could control weather and could predict future is no more.

 

In his battle with gods, where he always claimed to have an upper hand, he has been consumed by the almighty. His reincarnation in the form of donkey has been predicted by US government and if gods have to have their way with this Jadugar, he might just come back as a donkey, monkey or whatever J

10.  The sad fall of an Apple

 

If technology was a civilization and there was a god of innovation, it should be one single man, Steve Jobs. The prodigy, who breathed his last on October 5th, 2011, was a source of inspiration for many budding entrepreneurs like me.

 

His working methodology and innovative ideas will always remain unmatched and his sudden death has left a big void in the industry, which is struggling to come up with new ideas and better products.

11. Joke-pal

 

A bunch of jokers is what you would like to call people fighting for this bill and people trying to bring a week bill.

 

This was definitely an opportunity missed for all of us to get our government servants under a rule, where we could ask them on what happened to the money paid by us.

 

Adamant anna team and hypocrite politicians ensured this important bill never got to see the light of day.

Who and what missed out the list:

  1. Rakhi sawant, for your know what.
  2. Digvijay singh, for his meaningless comments.
  3. Harbhajan singh, for being such a disappointment.
  4. Indian MPs, for wasting so much of hard earned money, which they consume as taxes and then let it go down the drain by stalling the parliament.
  5. Junior AB’s baby, for so much money riding on her date of birth.
  6. Ra-one, for reminding us how bad we are with sci-fi flicks.
  7. Salman Khan, for being the darling of masses.
  8. Land Mafia, for not even sparing nallas and nukkads.
  9. Moral Police for not doing anything worth mentioning this year.
  10. Mayawati for raising so many statues.

And finally Anhad, for being a new member of our family and for flashing so many smiles, when I am writing this blog J

Keep posting your comments and I will keep entertaining them.

Wish you a happy New Year.

Hic- Hic Hurray!!!

Uttar Pradesh : The battle is on!!!

Posted: 27th December 2011 by Jasmeet in Politically Incorrect!!!
Tags: , , , , , , , ,

This post has 1009 words. It will take approximately 3 minutes, 21 secondes for reading it.

Uttar Pradesh Government Seal

With election dates announced for U.P, the battle is on.

Let’s have a look at how all the parties stand today in the upcoming election in U.P

The land of politics, where the voice of Behanji has been the supreme voice for last few years, promises to take this battle to a newest level. Here is how the parties stand against each other.

 

  1. BSP : The rampant elephant

In Favor:

Who would have thought that Mayawati, a teacher from the remotest location of U.P would go on to rule the epicenter of politics in India and while today, she has forgone all her modest background and the dalit card she plays in all elections, she is still a leader to reckon with. If last elections were all about Mayawati bringing all the cases and creeds together and foregoing her Dalit image, this election could very well see her playing the development card and anti-corruption card.

Against:

Despite her no-nonsense image, she has proved to be more of a dictator and less of a leader of masses. Having amassed humongous wealth and raised numerous statues, she has literally let so much of public money go down the drain and though she might boast of better law and order situation, the internal law and order situation remains grim for the whole state.

 

Police and IAS officers fear her and her party has been accused of siphoning money from central government schemes like NREGA, etc.

2. BJP : Laughing Lotus

In Favor:

???

I could hardly think of any point. It’s sad to see the party of Atal Bihari Vajpayee coming across as the weakest opponent in these elections.

 Against:

 I have a “longestest” list. Let me finish it in few points:

Headless chicken syndrome:

The point is who is leading BJP in these elections? Is it LK Advani or Rajanath singh?

I leave it to the discretion of their leaders to finally decide on who would be their leader

  1. No planning and strategy
  2. Weakest opposition
  3. The gone charm of Hindutava
  4. The last warrior “AB Vajpayee” is missing

 

3. SP: punctured Cycle

In Favor:

Mulayan singh has always been a strong leader in U.P. Being a veteran leader from this region gives him an advantage over his political contemporaries. What can actually swing the elections in his favor is his ability to garner support from Muslim and Yadav vote bank.

He has been long seen as the Messiah of the backwards and muslims in U.P. No wonder it earned him the nick name of “Maulana Yadav”, when he was in power.

He stands today without his shadow Amar singh, who has been his buddy through thick and thin of times. Still if there is anyone, who looks like stopping the elephant, my bet is on the Cycle.

 Against:

Akhilesh has been a week shadow of his father. Mulayam, a former akhada pehalwan was a pehalwan in elections too and had worked from ground to build his party and bring it to a position, where at a time, the party was dictating terms to central government.

In last elections, Dimple yadav lost to a congress candidate. All thanks to Rahul Gandhi and this bought forth a clash of young titans, Rahul and Akhilesh, where akhilash looked like a sour looser.

If the grapevine is to be believed, the young yadav aims to not only be the CM of UP, he aspires to be the PM of India. I personally feel, it is more to do with Rahul than Manmohan.

Also SP’s tarnished image of harboring goons, when in incumbency might turn the odds against it.

Anyways, if SP can target the incumbent government at the right places, it can be anyone’s game. “Politics and Elections are a funny game, you never know what might happen next.”

 4. Congress : The faceless party

 

In Favor:

I see Rahul Gandhi as the only hope for congress in these elections. I know he has his quota of detractors but I firmly believe, if congress has to regain the lost glory in U.P, rahul is their best bet.

 

He had worked really hard in the last elections and though public might term his acts of sleeping and eating with poor farmers as mere Gimmicks, I stand by him. He has hit the bull’s eye…This is what the aam junta wants, they want a leader, who can stand by them ,eat with them, etc, etc.

 

Against:

The party has been more or less without a face for last few years. Their main leader bahuguna joshi has just become a play toy for Mayawati and how much hard she tries; she is a minnow in front of the towering persona and personality of Behanji.

 

The party has been playing the quota card these days, which just might turn the tide against her. The normal Junta does not want a quote society, they want development and progress.

Another factor, which could go against the congress, was the “Anna Factor”. I am not a  great supporter of Anna, still I agree to the fact, he has been a great factor in congress loosing in recent by-polls and he can still be an important factor in these elections.

The million dollar question is, who he is going to support in the state?

If past records are to be taken in to account, U.P boasts of some of the most corrupt leaders from all the parties.

My Prediction:

Mayawati might not be the flavor of season but she remains the best out of the worst. It can be a hung assembly, with some backdoor Liaison work happening in between Mayawati and BJP. Not to forget, our leader of Jat Land, Ajit Singh, who just bagged, the cash strapped ministry, AviationJ, he could play a pivotal role in deciding the future of Uttar Pradesh.

Wait till I write about Uttarakhand. Till them keep posting your views and feedback, it never hurts to read something not so good on your articles.

Adieu!!!
