Rajneeti Nama

Yesterday I watched 'Rajneeti', its a tribute to Indian politics, its a tribute to 'Mahabharata', the great Indian epic. I salute Prakash Jha for making such a terrific movie. Its crude reality and I felt so very helpless and anguished after watching this movie that now I don't know how to relieve myself of this disgust, this anguish and this anxiety. i hated each and every character of the of the movie and above all the character of 'Mama' Brij MOhan. Every character in this movie is defining and a true tribute to Mahabharata. the plot and subplots give true picture of Indian politics. this is one movie i am really disturbed and moved after watching. If I get a chance to change something about the moviei will simply kill the 'Mama' and 'Arjun' i.e. the characters of Brij Mohan and Samar in the last battle. The climax when Katrina asks Ranbir 'Jana Zaruri Hai' (Is it necessary to go) is the worst point of the movie. And in the end Would say that the movie should have got 'A' certificate. It is not for children.

2day i saw two male cuckoos............trying 2 woo a female cuckoo.......i think this is their mating season..........the male cuckoo was shinning black........while the female was spotted with brown and white.................last year i saw a cuckoo nestling being fed by its foster parents 'crows'................the crow by then had realized that it was not their own young ones so was trying 2 avoid the cuckoo.............but it was persistently following it asking to be fed............finally the crow put some pieces of bread in cuckoo's open mouth from its beak and flew.............so seen for the first time the 'Kawwa-koel' story read as a child...........:)

sparrows in the mall

Recently on my visit to a nearby mall............i was delighted to spot sweet little sparrows in the mall.....................they had nested in some 'in-house' coconut trees...........it was really a pleasing sight..............to see these little birds............adopting to the changes forced on our environment by us.....................

Meeting with Vice President

JNU bans 'sensitive' meetings

the JNU administration has announced that from now onwards there would be strict scrutiny of public meetings held in the campus............its a serious matter as the administration is not trying to sensitize but curbing the freedom of speech and debate and discussion culture.........its a very serious matter and something should be done to stop this.

Yesterday when the world came together to fight climate change........Delhi also joined and most of the commercial and public places observed earth hour...........and thankfully i did not lag behind.........i also switched off light and fan at my room from 8:30-9:30, and enjoyed being part of some constructive action.......
