Pirates!

I wasy very eager to watch this movie..But it turned out to be a dud. Captain Jack Sparrow was a big dissapointment. Not the hero but the role. The story line was bizarre. It was like watching "Harry Potter" without having read the novel. Reason for dissapointment: Too high expectations. Otherwise watch it to watch the 3rd part and don't xpect too much.

Sup..

Apr May June sucked ..had lot's of work ..no time to read.. I was reading( ascending order of time I started reading them) Monk Who Sold His Ferrari Life of a Pi Argumentative Indian Freakonomics Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer and finally now last 15 days i had time and did complete the last two.. both were interesting reads. Life of Pi is a boring read at least the starting and haven't been able to really get in a mood to pick it again. Monk Who Sold his Ferrari is not a book to complete in a go. It's a real good book and always go back and read it again. So haven't been really able to complete it because I keep reading the same chapters again and again. Argumentative Indians has some good essays but as a whole I feel it's an avg book.

Banned!

Government of India..hahahaha In my earlier post I raised the same concerns. Click here Puppet in the hands of Left.Banning blogs in the name of secularism. Just see for yourself what exactly they meant. Following are just two of the 17 blogs being banned. http://www.exposingtheleft.blogspot.com/ http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/ Read More:

Not a Gentleman's Game! So what

Like the earlier edition this world cup made me sit and watch this game. Mind you we are more used to the Gentleman’s game and this game does shock me sometimes. Players cheat and do things that would lead to suspension of that player if happened in cricket. But it’s surprising how easily they get away with it. Rightly it’s not a gentleman's game. But who said that games are for gentleman. They are meant to be fierce and hard fought. With a feeling of do or die. It's this tempo that makes this game a true delight to watch. One of my favorite world cup moments was when barely six minutes were on the clock in the opening game between Germany and Costa Rica when Philipp Lahm cut in from the left and curled a beauty into the top corner of Jose Porras' net. It really set the tempo for an exciting world cup.

Disinvestment on hold!

Ok so disinvestment has been put on hold! You just can’t get enough of the wrong that these governments can do for this country. First making an alliance with the left then , giving this country a weak PM , then doing major blunders in Bihar (Governor’s action of dissolving the government) , then the latest one of reservation and finally the disinvestment. It was well said that Congress is a party for poor and they are trying to increase there base by making this country poorer. PSU’s (Public Sector Units) are making huge looses and government is putting the good money into these units. Ok people will loose there jobs, but if simple mathematics is applied, the losses will be huge if one considers the benefits of using the same money to educate people, build infrastructure etc. Government should not focus on work that a private co could do better. Its should better focus on educating people, building infrastructure, improving the judiciary and improving the law and order situation in

Superman vs Krishh

Ok just last weekend watched both these superhero movie back to back and I couldn't stop but comparing these two movies. First Krishh. As the first Indian superhero movie seriously made it has been a commendable job. With the budget and viewer ship limitation that Indian movies have it is a very well made movie. Our super hero falls in love and first half goes by with him singing and dancing. Second half is where our hero is exposed to the outside world and realizes the old saying "With great powers come great responsibilities". He saves some kids, gets his love, saves his father (who strangely has lost all his powers), kills the bad guy. A typical Indian movie. Superman: Man this guy has lot many more powers than our Krish. The movie is very well made with the Plane crash shot in the beginning setting the tempo for the movie. The movie is a typical big budget Hollywood movie. What less can one expect? Both the movies exploited the emotional sides of our super heroes. Lot
