Bridging the GAP

Remember cricket playing & samosa making scene……NRI subject is high @ NewAgeCinema circuit. But gone are the days when ABCD and cross cultural relationships like Mississippi Masal or Bride & Prejudice provided the shock value.

Now latest flicks illustrate the fear factor of the likes of Kanta bahen (of kal ho na ho) coming true…….

Goodness Gracious Me team is back with zohra sehgal, saeed jaffrey, Jimi Mistry, om puri & roshan seth again pouring their talents in two Desi Diaspora films……….Chicken Tikka Masala and Touch of Pink. Movies are on the issue of gays and traditional Indian family. Signs of this subject started from movies like East is East (when elder son runs away to become hair dresser) & Bend it like Beckham (when jess friend fancy David Beckham)…………

Now what remain remains to be seen that for how successful this relationship on communal acceptance…..and can bridge the thinking GAP so that at the end producers can say Gay And Proud.

A Bit Busy....

Now a Days i am bit busy i building My Photo Page.... so will not be able to update the blog...till the time i build it fully.......

Kids with Cameras

Born into Brothels is one of the latest addition to my New Age Cinema Films warehouse-- it won the Oscar for best documentary this year. Filmed in the red light district of Calcutta, it follows several children born into the brothels, whose mothers work as prostitutes. In a city where there is much poverty, they are even more shunned than most, because of where they live and who their families are. Zana Briski, a New York-based photographer, gives each of the children a camera and teaches them to look at the world with new eyes. Given cameras, they photograph their families, the streets where they live, and generate new hope for their lives. In the wake of the film, an organization, Kids with Cameras, has emerged to continue the project. Now that’s whats I called a Motion Picture – as noble motion has emerged from pictures.
Kids with Cameras is a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities around the world. We use photography to capture the imaginations of children, to empower them, building confidence, self-esteem and hope. Creative Social work stuff to bring poor section to decent stature…….

Are You A Math Geek??

If you think IIM(A) is most tricky to enter, Google devised the most technical way to apply for a job, I guess Donald trump should look out for changes in apprentice.

''[First 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e].com," is all the banners say.

It took a few seconds for commuters to realize there's a math question being asked here, there company differentiated classes from masses

First you have to know that E -- the base of the natural logarithm -- begins 2.718281828 and goes on forever. Now identify the first string of 10 digits after the decimal that is a number evenly divisible only by itself and 1. If you don't have a supercomputer handy, the answer is 7427466391.

However, anyone who solves the puzzle (by combining the first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e with ''.com" and entering it into a Web browser) discovers that the website named for the solution, http://www.7427466391.com/, only gives you directions that leads to another web site with a string of solutions to four variables and a blank after the fifth (another vexing math problem). Solve that, and you get to an internal Google page that praises ''your big, magnificent brain" and invites you to apply for a job.

PS: ''Advertising is all about targeting who you want to get. If they're trying to get very intelligent mathematicians, that's the way to go."

Back to Boulevard > >

Like all good things come to an end, this trip was no exception. As I was coming close to Mumbai, I started missing the life that I experienced in these 10-12 days, meeting everyone after a long time was a great feeling, despite the hot climate conditions I managed to party at night time, I tried living every moment in such a limited time, walking down road to karan’s house, roaming at PVR, my bike and visit to college, all these events triggered memory of those good old college days.

Despite the train being rajdhani, I already started missing the luxuries of home, but I have chosen this path so no regrets, I suppose this time comes in everyone’s life who is successful….

Delhi was much more eventful this time with rape cases, heavy power shedding, scare of brain fever and bomb blasts (jo bole so nihal), but things were smooth at my end despite heavy police patrolling at night time I did manage enjoy with my friends at Basant Lok PVR, with a life like this I didn’t wanted to return but…………and like a picture perfect ending, I stepped at Mumbai Central station “and it rained” may this is good omen for the things to come…………

RUPTURE from REGULAR

So will not spend any time thinking or writing
Only relaxing (so next post will be relaxing in Delhi)

N.Korea may hit a Six

It seems like to whole world is on pins and needles because North Korea could be on the verge of testing a nuke. Hmmmm, maybe W shoud have worried more about Kim Jong - who we all new HAD a weapons program - instead of Tin-pot dictator Saddam Hussein - whom Hans Blix said DID NOT have a weapons program. I suppose we can thank Bush and his ally Pakistan for the fact that North Korea likely has half a dozen nuclear weapons. Nice work George...the world certainly is a safer place with you at the helm. NOT!!

This Labour could Pain !!!

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has won with a significantly reduced majority for his Labour Party. After his victory, Blair went to Buckingham Palace to be confirmed as prime minister for the third time. But analysts say the slip in Labour's lead could prompt calls for Blair to step down before he serves a full five-year term.



Labour needed at least 324 seats to form a majority in the 646-seat House of Commons. Labour's majority of 161 in the last parliament had been slashed by almost 100 seats.
With 620 seats reporting, Labour had 353 seats, the main opposition Conservatives 196, Liberal Democrats 60.Turnout figures showed that only about 61 percent of people eligible to vote went to the polls -- a 2 percent rise on the last general election. The Labour majority falls to 64, as some are predicting, Oakley said that was "a danger area" for Blair, who has around 50 left-wing rebels in his party who may vote against his reformist program in parliament.George Galloway, who was expelled from Blair's Labour Party, used his victory speech to launch a withering attack on the prime minister.

Bush Govt's Economic Indicator

The Consumer Price Index is rising. The Federal Reserve Board has increased short-term interest rates by 25bsp. But perhaps the most troubling economic indicator these days is the alarmingly static Bush Twins Unemployment Index. If you're a poor kid and you can't get a job, well, it's probably because you're lazy and you don't have the right clothes. But if your dad is the most powerful man in the world and you still can't get a job, even though you graduated from prestigious universities eleven months ago, well, something is definitely wrong with the economy.

Towering Trump

''The Donald'' --as his first wife Ivana called him -- has come back from adversity so often that last August, the tireless tycoon, never short of ideas for self-promotion.

Ghar Ka Khaana !!!

Whether a long journey or a short one, make it more appealing by munching on easy to make and easier to carry home made food. So whether it's an two-hour long bus ride or a 24-hour train journey, entire tiffin boxes, dabbas are filled with delicious ghar ka khaana in which you a bit of home is carried along, no matter how long the journey or how far the distance; when you open the box filled with food you feel at home with nice breeze flowing in from railway owned window.
But this time when I will be traveling alone from Mumbai to Delhi, I will miss that ghar ka khana with the turtle shakes of Indian trains that help in digestion process. Two things I missed at Mumbai is Mother and Ghar ka khanna ………… earlier at every possible opportunity I used to eat outside…but at Mumbai I realized that best thing on earth is home cooked food…

Retro might be waiting in form of parties and meets but I will try to stuff myself with GHAR KA KHANNA as much as I can…I cant wait to sit on dinning table and eat food with my family……….
