A Salute to the Mumbaikar’s Spirit

The 7/11 had been a deadly evening for the people in Mumbai when the city burned in 7 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring more than 500. The bombs were planted in the local trains and timed such that it caused maximum damage to the people. People were blown off into multiple pieces difficult to gather. The whole Mumbai came together to help and rescue people to hospitals and shelter were created for those who survived. People flooded the hospitals to donate blood to the extent that the blood bank issued a notice by midnight that they are full and don’t require more blood. By mid-night everything was in control. The next day people dusted themselves off and went to work in full strength in the same trains that were targeted. Its been a slap in the face of terrorist wanting to shake the faith of people in life, brotherhood n tomorrow. Mumbaikars have shown to the world that they won’t allow anyone to disrupt their life like this and divide them into the caste n sect bifurcations.
Way back in 2004 when Delhi was blown on 29/11 just before the big festival Diwali, people caged themselves into their houses for the fear of being caught in the tragedy again, for get even celebrating the festival awaited the year long. The crackers were bought with extreme care to insure nothing malicious is being bought. The number of causalities was the same but the sorrow and grief was celebrated for over a month.
But Mumbaikar ‘s have shown nobody dare threaten them like this as the spirit of Mumbai is very strong and cannot be harmed. A big Salute to all Mumbaikar ‘s n the city MUMBAI.

Life’s not just Ha..Ha.. Hee..Hee..

The message is clear, life’s a roller costar and we all agree with it. But every time we go through the rough path we scream, shout n cry to the pry of life. Inside we all know that’ll be overcome. But to wait for the path to pass off is the most impatient job, till we meet that someone can bring the assurance and faith to fight it in our favor and to make us realize; we are more than our potential and has the ability of changing the world…Our World.
Same stands true about the Indian filmmakers also…from making copies of Hollywood movies., to the sequences of the same movie over and over again… their ha..ha..hee..hee goes on. And they continue to fool the Indian audience with the latkas, jhatkas and songs like the good old chitrahaar.
But as it is said “Life’s not just Ha..Ha..Hee..Hee… “ there are upcoming directors and script writers who want to experiment with original ideas into making it a meaningful cinema. Directors like Gurender Chadda, Ashutosh Govirikar, nagesh kukunoor have not only have given movies like ‘Rang de Basanti’, ‘Bend it like Beckham’, ‘Rockford’, ‘Bollywood Hollywoord’, ‘Mitr’ …. The list is quite long. The new generation is not only liking their work but appreciating it with greater interest and flavor.
Recently, I’ve got the opportunity to watch this movie called ‘Life’s not just ha ha Hee Hee’ on Star-Movies and was really amazed with so well directed and written movie on yet so simple topic. The story is about three friends and their lives, the problems they face and how they solve it on their own by transforming themselves. Definitely a must see for those who like to watch movies different from the ordinary.
