Citizen Khan

Phaneendra | 27 May 2006, 8:09pm
I was watching Citizen Khan on CNN-IBN today. I didn't understand why this day has come up in my life. Aamir Khan is an actor and is an actor but nothing else. He, being a celebrity voiced his support for "Narmada Bachao aandolan" and nothing else. Those comments has to do nothing with either BJP or any other political party. Yet, he ended up in a controversy, which is sheer idiocity.

Gujrat banning "Fanaa" is a move that has no relevance in Democratic political scenario. What is it with the Indian politics lately? Why are politicians trying to involve in everything that is happening in this world? Why is it that no politician ever speaks against corruption, excess population or anything at all that really matters to the nation.

Even the Media is behaving the same way. It covers a Bachan-Rai murmers in a birthday bash, but wont speak against the kind of issues going on in the nation which has much higher relavance. Who is this Abhishek Bachan or Aishwarya Rai that their affair is more important. They are also people like us....

God only has to save us........When one can't help himself, even God doesn't help him.

Nostalgia

Phaneendra | 26 May 2006, 6:19pm
I was very in a nostalgic mood today. In the morning I was listening to Rainbow-FM and one lady was talking about how she stole some mangoes from an orchid with the help of a complete stranger, in her childhood ofcourse...and later learning that the stranger helped her was actually the landlord of the orchid. She sounded very happy remembering that sweet memory of hers..

And while in the British library, a couple of hours back, I became very nostalgic while I was skimming through Friends,a book on the ultra famous sitcom. I found myself laughing just by going through the book..Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, Pheobe and Joey.....Can any one ever forget these names???

Imagine a life without any kind of Memories...AAh..the thought itself is dragging me back in time.

The Da Vinci Code

Phaneendra | 25 May 2006, 12:58am
Hi all....

My apologies for this very delayed post...Got into the middle of something.

Well, it seems that a lot has been spoken about "The DaVinci Code" lately. And finally the movie is ready for a release in India. I don't understand, why some movies create a lot of fuss? The "Code" is said to be one of the biggest "block"-busters of the year and still is denied a release. The book has already created a greater buzz and now, the movie.

Tell me frankly, how many out there didn't read the book already? When reading is a book is not, how can seeing it on the celluloid is blasphemous!!

I saw "Monty Python's Life of Brian" lately, and found this movie bit more objecting than the "Code". But, it was a comedy for God's sake...So no issues from my side.

I say, a film maker(for that matter, any artist(e)) should never be stopped from what he/she wants to express. After all Freedom of expression is every citizen's right according to Constitution of India.

P.S: If you are feeling that you are being mislead by a piece of art, please ignore it. There are others who might find the same piece enjoyable.

Life

Phaneendra | 11 May 2006, 8:56pm

I got as many oppertunities as my hairs on my head to earn money decently. But, I am not joining any of them as i am interested in something else which is very close to my heart.

I am in a dilemma where I need to accept the truth that Oppertunities knock your door rarely but may not be right choice as something awaits you somewhere else.

My basic feeling is that I may be a bit over optimistic about life that I am loosing out on life. Except from a job, I have everything and lots of confidence in myself. I just am looking for a life where my heart lies.


What is Life?

Is it working for money like every one does, or chasing our dreams?

Weight

Phaneendra | 8 May 2006, 10:30am

I joined Gym to loose my 20 odd kilo excess baggage.

I never was serious about this, but yesterday being a Sunday, I remembered that I am a Hyderbadi and had a Byryani. Alas, I had a very tough time at the Gym today.

Why the hell do we need to eat more and then burn it out by rugging our...you know what!!

But one thing is for sure...
