Small Boy!

And now after reviews and views, it’s time for some purview! Lost and found my phone in the bustling city of Mumbai which shows that honesty is still alive in humans. This incident reminds me of a story that my friend told me that happened on hills in a chaiwallah cum restaurant shop of kumaon region. In his words,”On a cold frosty morning;

A friend: Mahesh da, adhrakh waali chai bana do 4(make 4 ginger cups tea).

Mahesh da: bas ready hain sir!(its almost ready)

Costing 4 rupees per cup, it was one of the tastiest and a good bargain tea that one can ask for.

Mahesh da shop is popular there and with a wife and a 6 year old cute son (deepu) a happy ideal family indeed.   

Whenever we visit that shop, deepu would sit with us, play with all the confectionery items that his father shop hold and as k us questions from movies to geography!

And then suddenly one day he came to us and say,” I want a clean shaven head”!(clean shaven head in the region is mainly associated with mundan and barpan(for happier times) and with death of some family member in mourning. “Please ask my dad, he is not listening to me”. On enquiring with Mahesh da we all reject it as one night fancy or ghazni effect (popular movie that time) that affect the child heart! He cried, insist, argue and with his sudden develop fancy finally Mahesh da succumbs to it and one day lo! Our deepu has developed a no hair skull!

What followed next was deepu has become brand ambassador of ” ganju patel,teri khopdi mein tel” song to make fun of shaven head! Now six year deepu studies in a good school of that town and with shaven head, red sweater of school uniform and that yellow bag with ben 10 cartoon pic inscribed on it, he looks cute at best, And then on one usual evening after finishing the classes, the friends again goes to sit there to have maggi and chai and a car stops in front of Mahesh da shop! A lady, a man and a shaven boy wearing similar uniform to deepu steps down and looks for deepu!..Mahesh Da thought probably deepu has done something wrong (fight or so) in school and then with the anger in his voice goes inside his home (behind the shop) and shouting “deepu deepu” angrily. Deepu sheepishly came out from the room and Mahesh da almost dragged him to the front of his shop and speaks,” sorry behenji, for whatever he has done”

Lady: you are his father!

Mahesh da: yes. I know he has done something wrong.

Lady: meet my husband. Namaste exchanged. And my son rohan.deepu and rohan are classmates.

Mahesh da: So deepu has picked up fight or something.

The friend group was there listening to every word carefully whether with shaven head deepu thought himself like aamir of ghazni and beating his friends in school!

Lady,” No no, in fact you must be proud of your son!

Mahesh da (now little surprised),” what has he done”?

Lady,” My son has been suffering from leukaemia. And his treatment is still going on. Due to this he has a shaven head. But due to fear of being everyone fun and stingy remarks about his shaven head, my son feared to go to school again. Then deepu consoled him and promised him that he would shave his head too so that whatever remarks the school children will make he absorb half of them, and now my son happily go to school and deepu and rohan has a great bonding too now!”I came here to thank you and deepu that you again bring the light on my son  life and lift his spirits’ to live, to fight.

It was dead silence for one minute and then deepu took rohan away to play cricket merrily! He doesn’t feel proud or something, for the “ganju patel” it was no big deal or incident! The rest grown up stands there thinking......    

Sakshi ne kiya dhoni ke 12 inch ka khulaasa!!!

Wonder this is the true breaking news in our beloved bhoot prêt, mahavinaash TV..India TV. I still didn’t understand if any foreigner sees this TV what images he makes up of india. Though daily one can get loads of entertainment by watching this great channel by Rajat Sharma but some of my personal favourites Breaking news(it breaks in every ten minutes) according to the rankings are:

7.Reincarnation of Amitabh Bachhan: india Tv superbond investigative paranormal(abnormal it seems) experts went to Usa to research that Amitabh  in former life was Mr.Booth. If you found this is ridiculous then sample this, they even declare booth first wife  reincarnation is rekha and second wife reincarnation is jaya bachhan.. Just looking at the statement of anchor..” aaj pesh kareingein hum saboot amitabh ke punrjanam ka” after spending one hour of viewing senseless repetition they screamed” Mr.booth was a left hander and has a daughter and a son..Amitabh possess same characteristics:P:D..Now being left handed is really rare and so is having two children it seems…On the hindsight..poor rekha..

6.The half human god will speak today(narsimha avatar):a sphinx like statue is found in Babylon and our glorious reporters sensationally attributed the same as reincarnation of narsimha avatar. The use of arrows in the dark pictures and the circles over the google maps makes news a real drama.They even go on to claim the battle of hirnakashyap and narsimha(mythological figures) to the exact pinpoint location with arrows and circles. Sample of reporting” on an anonymous balcony(every palace has this thing)..isi balcony mein vadh hua tha hirnakashyap ka” 

5.Onion witch(pyaaz maangne waali chudail): if there is one species who are happy with india that is the species of chudail,shaitaan,pretaatma etc etc. Such a exotic coverage from kapde churane waala bhoot to paatal ka bauna that one can feel threatened how many species reside on this earth. Sources said that the up down of the onion prices is directly proportional to the pyaaz hafta of chudail.When they screamed yeh chudail aapke saath bhi ho sakti hain..many married man looks to their wives with popped eyes:D

4.Staircase to heaven:If you are fed up with “hoga ab mahavinaash line”..”maha” word adding more power to the statement, the super reporters have searched the solution to escape that…a staircase to heaven..when you really look the pic it is just rough landbut wait as explained above with the help of arrows and circles a rough land can take you upto heavens..P.S.Mayans are alreading cursing themselves why they get bored in making calendar and stopped to lead such super theories and solutions !

3.Live rape on TV: imagine there is no prior video trailer..just a bottom line ..aaj dikhaeyngein aapko live balatkaar tv par…many testorone charged girl starved boys and men have been waiting for this with tongues wagging out in the hope thoda toh dikhaaeyegein ya blurred karke dikhaayengein and our esteemed channel show silencer act 6 month after the movie releaseJ..such a high ethics channel..

2.Alien will steal your cow(alien churate hain aapki gaiy):

Just 3 4 punchline in this 2 hr special report:

1.alien bhi peete hain gaaiy ka doodh.acha hua maa ka nahin peete:/

2.a cow went missing in jungle and our reporter says it get abducted(probably was in lion stomach).

3.this is best’ with special sound track” kya bhaarat ki gaayein hain nishaane par”..aayee baat karte hain madan maharaj se and poochte hain kaise raksha kar sakte hain apni gaaye ki.he spoke some mantra and offered tabiz for gaey:P   ..milk becomes 40rs litre after thatL

  

1 and the best:..Sakshi kareingi pardafaash dhoni ke powerful baarah inch ka:P:P

Now after seeing this tagline the first person to have a heart attack was MS dhoni…he scratched his head so much ki kisne pics out ki hain that no hair left on his head from thereon. All the Indian men were cursing or being jealous from dhoni that day..And when khulaasa comes it was dhoni bat that was being talked about ..high point of that report” pehle 1.5 feet ka tha dhoni ka:D:D….

   

woman in my life!

And i run for the peace,

finding destination to reach,

In those fragile hands she holds me,

hiding harsh realities undone breach,

for under the advent of life,

the simple lane of success and failures,

she's the one that pushes me,

prepare the food of character of love,

she walk equal footsteps till i learn to run,

and now she left behind like a pillar of strength,

she feels the pain of my bruises,

balming it with her soothing heart,

and waters my dreams to grow,

not letting them to fall apart..

she let her engulfing emotions,

when i prepare to leave,

she hides her tears with a smile,

and standing in front of the door,

till i was away quite a mile..

and now like a old oak tree,

she become weak but grounded at roots,

and for all the shed that she shower,

listening with childhood anticipation my crazy journeys,

 in come of joy many arrives,

but she was there to share the sorrows,

and before i lost in multitude of life,

i dream of gifting her an indelible imprint,

and in stretches of imagination you knit my sweaters'

and now i want to knit my life.

for that i never was able to say,

but yes mother i want to grow old with you.......

Needless to say i am a movie freak so yesterday watched back to back movies in a multiplex where tuesday rates are cheaper than cola:P(competition in mumbai:D).Me and shivaji(my friend) sets on a journey to multiplex at 8pm and broadway is just a 5 minute trip from our flat.Heis not a past movie freak(got this habit now in my company:P) so he even doesnt know till interval who vinay pathak is!!! well now about the something about movie.. Many Hindi movie plots involve an actor and actress who are forced to travel together and who realize along the way that they’ve fallen in love. Friday’s release “Chalo Dilli” (Lets Go to Delhi) is also based on a journey–but not of the romantic kind. Instead, it’s a light-hearted “air, road and rail” trip story that brings together two people from very different economic backgrounds.instead our hero and heroine are bhaisahab and behenji to each other(one of its kind).

Mihika, played by actor Lara Dutta, is an uptown investment banker from Mumbai, who misses her flight to Delhi. She travel from the budget class to Jaipur and our hero manu too and takes a taxi from there. he taxi driver spent much time in sleeping and screaming everytime about his gareebi.In Jaipur, she meets a local salesman, Manu Gupta, played by actor Vinay Pathak, who has a small shop in Delhi’s squarely middle class Karol Bagh, who also needs to get back to Delhi.

The two travel together back to the capital, passing through small towns and dhabas along the way, and along the way Mihika discovers India, which seems like a lot to accomplish in a journey of less than 300 kilometers. The trip to delhi involves all what a northern rustic heartland has too offer. The dhabha food, travelling in a truck and also a dilwale dulhainya le jaayenge type of running to the train by heroine where our hero is saying" take my hand". Though in this scene our hero pulls chain to stop the train. The bribe to TC and subsequent experience of a regular jatt dabangai in village is also evident. Then a trip to red tomato hotel which is loud and boisterous with vivid posters on walls and everywhere sharply represents rusty honeymoon suites of villages. With our hero doing everything wrong which leads to curfew, and his characteristic "konsi badi baat ho gayee behenji' the fun journey ends there.Akshay kumar has a cameo as dutta husband and last 10 minutes are quite emotional due to vinay personal problems. Add yana gupta raunchy "laila mein laila number" and this movie qualifies as one time watch.The narrative has a sweet simplicity which transports you into the onscreen journey and makes you a willing witness to the bond-building between ‘bhaisaheb’ and ‘behenji’.Watch it for vinay pathak..this guy with his loud mouthness and simplicity(jugaaduness) makes one laugh. Second half is sort of dull as comparable to first still worth the money.

As far as franchise films go, The Fast and Furious series seem to be hitting the ground at top gear, with this installment not showing signs of slowing down, but prepping a new direction for future films to take, shifting gears from a film showcasing hot bodies (not solely just car chassis) and fast nox-enabled cars into the classic heist genre, given that it had that as its underlying premise from the first film, and now with a growing ensemble, are ready to give Ocean's Eleven a run for its money.

Rio De Janeiro provides the backdrop in which this installment takes place in (quite a popular location for films recently too), with the chief villain being Reyes (Joaquim de Almedia), a mobster with a businessman front, with his tentacles of vice and influence extending toward every part of the city. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and the former's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) hide out in the city as fugitives having broken Dom en route to prison at the end of Fast & Furious, and with the kind of money available for the taking to start a family of their own with Mia found to be pregnant, they decide to assemble a team, not to pass up the opportunity of robbing Reyes blind.

So in comes a whole host of characters whom we have seen in past films, such as Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Gisele (Gal Gadot), and even Han (Sung Kang) whom we know what happened to in Tokyo Drift, hence putting the chronology of the films at 1, 2, 4, 5 and 3 (five films in 10 years is quite consistent), which is now sometime in the not so immediate future. Director Justin Lin takes on his 3rd film of the franchise and together with writer Chris Morgan have managed to introduce new elements to surprise audiences and fans up until this installment, keeping with the usual action laden elements, while bringing on new characters into the franchise, this time with Dwayne Johnson coming in as a no nonsense, dogged and persistent FBI operative Hobbs, with an arsenal of technology and attitude to aid him and his team in tracking down Dom and his crew.

And of course who cannot wait to see two tough guys in Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson go one on one with each other in a fisticuffs, especially since their time with family friendly films have taken a backseat to put them both firmly back into the action genre. It sets up new rivalry, while keeping the old between Dominic and Brian with the latter always keen to prove who's the better driver. And like most ensemble films, it's make or break given the character's appeal, and I'm glad to note they share this incredibly chemistry this bunch of highly skilled cons who each bring their know-how to the table in trying to pull off mission frickin' insanity, and everyone possessing a mean driver's license to power souped up vehicles.

And if it's action you're seeking, it's action you'll get in this film too, putting aside the rather rote and superficial theme of family and trust. There's no lack of races and wheels on the roads although I do note that there's not too much of signature cars to go around this time. Even a would be street race was unceremoniously cut off, although we do get it compensated with a four way race down two traffic lights amongst Roman, Dom, Brian and Han which was more of a fair competition since they were all essentially driving the same model. Then there's the big bang finale that you would have seen in the trailer, with Dom and Brian yanking a bank vault and travelling down the streets of Rio at top speed, in what would be a fittingly noisy last act destroying everything, and I mean everything, along their path, that has to be seen in a cinema to enjoy this guilt trip in sense surround glory.

Needless to say I am a fan of the franchise, and am excited about the direction this film would be going even if it would mean limiting the number of cars on the roads, since the film had already shown the potential of that chemistry between the cast and characters, and I'm eagerly anticipating more. From one fanboy and an action junkie to any other, this of course would be recommended fare.

Stay tuned while the end credits roll, and you'll be treated to a stinger that reaffirms and teases what's to come in the next film, with no less than two surprise appearances. But no, with the timeline, it'll take a while before Lucas Black will be able to link up with the guys. For an adrenalin pumping high octane entertaining film outing, Fast Five is that opener to a very noisy and crowded summer season to come.
