meera... its not just a mythical name, but a mystical one. there's something about meera. it gives a sense of calmness n smooth caressing feeling about it. Mythology was that she was the greatest devotee of lord krishna, a disciple who would go to the length of dancing in the streets of the city to proclaim her affection and devotion for a person. A character of immense overflowing love and equally divine feel about her.
No, this post is not about deepika padukone's role in Love aajkal, her name meera, and her expressions, her sense of acting, brilliant. She seems almost flawless doing scenes of flirtacious happy-go-lucky girl and equally marvellous making those impressive smiles to remove the ground beneath your legs.... she hooks onto your desires and just leaves that feeling of wanting more with her smile. Yes, Saif, you were right in the movie, her smile can knock the living senses out of a person.
Neither is it about the lovely meera-ji of office office, the smart, suave sweet lady whose like all other women near you, a little flabby, a little nervous but most importantly, a lady to be loved. She's the main role of the series (which ended, though i wished it never did). And its definately not about that new 'meera' serial on NDTV depicting the mythological character.
its about the memory of the person named meera. all i could manage was just a small picture of her, on http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020115/ldh.htm#com .. scroll down and you'll find a young girl, who has no substitute for hardwork. Its the only reason that explains i liked PECFest's for the 4 years, why i find valentines to be an interesting day and why i like girls in honda city. missin u meera and wishing you a happy life, wherever you are...

the kiddish bullshit
Aaah.. u're 21, big and old enough to face life. ya .. you are ..... but just then you meet your schoolfriends (and there's nothing like meeting after a long time or something, its like we meet every now and then.... ) . you're suddenly in 10th, transported by bonds of camaraderie, the never ending stories and the never ceasing gossip.
Its not a new feeling to me, but, all the while, its better typing it off rather than not. the age when words like 'bada' 'chotta' 'patla' 'mota' 'aage' 'peeche' make u keep on laughing non stop (while the nearby people are wondering what kind of people are these?). the time when any word can be morphed to make you laugh...
pervut, ashole, gaadi ki 'dikky', kabaristan ki thoka thaaki, peepa and god-only-knows how many more 1 liners ... and all the more expressions .... its so obviously stupid, yet all the more comic... the stomachs start aching, eyes red, tears roll and people are forced to bang their hands and faces on the table. yet no one stops laughing. Is this being in 10th ??
the time has passed. yet the memories remain and so do the gossips, the camaraderie and the stories .. is it 10th ?? or is it 3 engineers, 1 doctor and 1 'chemist' just talking some good ol' bullshit ???

the lotus eater ..
yes . opeth's new album shares the name with what has happened in indian politics .. shall i also say it was a 3rd front eater ??
i am no hard fan of any party or any person, but its too obvious why congress outperformed .. .as told by the inlighted people, this is the first time the young generation (40% of population) is going to vote . this young generation is however different from the previous young ones. . they are grown up after 1991 liberation of india ... that is actually a big turning point.. we know that the next generation would be learning all about the 1991 reforms, but though we're unaware of the importance of it, we've grown up in it and have just taken up stand against many things ..
firstly the religional divides. no guy supports it and it wont work. next comes development. we are pretty much aware of inclusive growth and think ideologically that with our increase in income, the poor should benefit as well. the days of lack of information are over . all the information is at a touch of a button. we are intelligent and thats why we decide after thinking. anyways, the major reason of the 'lotus eating' was rahul gandhi. the girls swoon over him while the guys consider him an intelligent guy after listening his conversation.
anyways, i am not a fan of his but there is just one thing the congress can boast of and that is the young brigade, with jyoti scindhya, sachin pilot etc . the point is that all the BJP leaders were due to emergency in 1971 and after that, no leader has come from its wings .. they have just grown older. even lalu, nitish were offsprings of 1971 emergency. anyways, the rahul factor has helped newer faces come into an imperialist party and helped its cause . thats why he got the praise which he deserves. coming to congress, it means business and it should, too . it should focus on inclusive growth, have a left inside it (to prevent any wrong action, which would make india suffer, cause though they are fools, they helped the last regime big time by stopping certain decisions on disinvestment and policy making. ) an example is the trouble chinese govt. is in and indian govt. hardly has a problem with US now, after its collapse is that left guys prevented indian PSU banks to buy fraudulent securities (of the AAA companies at that time) and it helped when we they crashed . had congress been alone, we'd have been in a bigger mess that we are in right now .
so, you've eaten the lotus, now you must open your minds policy makers ... think and think hard ! cause indians are good at it and we have that foresight to get us to greater heights than never before.

reply to the candid conservative
The previous post (if you are reading this, STOP HERE UNLESS YOUVE READ THE PREVIOUS POST) has been amusing, to say the least. though there is certain amount of conviction in what you say, but the curtain above your eye seems half-open. According to you, the problems of humanity are free-market, morality and modernisation.
free markets have always been an idea which is over-rated and over hyped, but makes most sense compared with others around. Soviet union had its own problems due to which it had to reject communism. coming back to capitalism is indeed a good idea, if there is adequate regulation in the capitalist market. thats what america learnt and thats what india has been preaching and DOING these past years.
coming to the main issue of modernisation and morality, i guess you are surely mislead somewhere in between. yes, the newer generation is better than you because it has the power to know, reason out and decide what is right or wrong. You say self destruction is caused due to lack of understanding while taking a decision, yes i agree in some cases. However, that has helped the younger generation to understand the newer complexities and modern issues to start re-inventing themselves and become more competitive, compared to their colleagues of different nations. the power of a society is determined by the new blood it generates and clearly the younger generation churned out is far more competitive and power-hungry than their ancestors which were satisfied by farming/doing petty clerical stuff.
next, moral issues you have talked about is just an effect, not a problem. the effect of the earlier frustrations dwelling in the minds of parents. every bubble bursts, every closure vents up and thats what has happened. the shackles of ill-beliefs in the name of culture are being broken by the youth and they are learning it their own way rather than being spoonfed by some orthodox religious fools (calling themselves as gurus,baba's and yogi's). they are more rational than their ancestors, which would go to length to pay ransom or give favours to those religious fools which were running their show by acquiring hoards of money and land assets.
further, you talk about aberrations of society and generalise that every person is becoming like that. the killing by a teenage person was surely one which got publicity, but in your 'bharat' such events were more frequent and have never recieved an ear. i can go at length to explain the falseness of your claims, but its just that i would reiterate that there is some conviction in your logic, but again, the curtain is just half-open.

confessions of a candid conservative
well, i managed to get an yearly diary of a conservative. am chronologically placing the facts i found interesting.
pre 1990's
Courtesans exist, are underground and illegal. Apart from this fact, i am pretty happy about the human relations and society. Cinema is not a bad thing, after all. (Though some movies showing women in jazzy clothes disgusts me.) The ills of society are the western thoughts coming in the minds of people which considers smoking and liquor is a part of life. For the west it is, being a cold place to live, but india is tropical. No requirement of alchohol for heat or cigar for the feeling of high. I dont think the movements will stand the cultural strength of india. Its ram-bhumi after all.
1990-1995
Education for all is an important thing. I believe its imperative for girls too to learn as much as they want to. (though i am confused what good is education to a woman who will marry a young boy and stay a housewife.. ahh yes. Women are great teachers for kids, too). they have proved alchohol and cigarette are both bad for health, so people may start avoiding it in due course. They say economy should be opened and foriegners be allowed. am really bamboozled by that. why did gandhiji remove foriegners in the first place ? had at that time they thought that foriegners are good for economy, india would not have been so great as it is today. the most proud thing india has is its culture, its people and unity. no foriegner should come and affect us again. SAY NO TO any foriegn material. swadesi banao, swadesi khao...
1995-1999
well, these years have seen an exponential increase in western clothing for youngsters. i dont understand how people wear things like jeans. i am disgusted after seeing kuch kuch hota hai and other adventurous movies. Cinema is bad. This concept of making friends between boys and girls is experimental, but not immoral. but clearly this movie has struck every rich kid to find a partner and have an affair. That someday will not lead to moral results, though. i hope the indian values are taught to these kids studying in private, metro colleges and stop experimenting with relationships in teenages. The hot topic of discussion in kitty-parties and social clubs are gossips of girls found walking with a boy or talking with them.
One thing thats good is, the flourish of newspapers and media, which is helping every individual to know, reason and decide.
2000-2005
as i had dreaded, there has been a flourish of rapes, acid-attacks and injustice to the women because of this 'westernisation' of the minds. news channels and media just reports these things everyday. insecurity is eroding more indian values as more and more women wish to support themselves with a partner who can take care of her needs as well as prevent other guy's eyes on her. Discos, too share a hand in degrading youngsters. The boy-girl 'affair' thingy has slowly accrued into middle class (from the richer people), into the other urban cities an schools, apart from metros, and most importantly, into younger brains. immature youngsters in their 13's and 14's have started actively wooing girls (which are more immature and just started with puberty). I am shocked about the advent of MMS and cheap availability of porn, which is degrading values faster than global warming. Fights over girls are common in middle and rich class people with power, though the hot topic for discussion between aunties is not which girl was seen roaming around in the market, but that which girl was seen coming out of a guy's bedroom.
The economy of our country is seemingly increasing,too. more people are becoming rich and choice is increasing. however, i sense a shift in jobs, rather than creation of it. the clerks and 'babus' haven given way to call-centre employees.
2005-2008
Our country is looking brighter in terms of quality of life and i guess globalisation has helped. opening up of the economy in 1991 wasnt a bad idea, after all. Cities have started with movement of no-smoking and ambumani ramadoss, deserves a mention because of his strict stand against smoking. education is as important as water, electricity because of the increased complexity of the business.
Just perturbs me is that great colleges have turned into sex markets (someone told me about the happenings in IIM's, IIT's etc. in which discipline and has given way to sleeping together on same beds, living-in relationships and more). School children have started shooting just like what happens in US. virginity of a girl is lost around 16 (just like britain, where the govt. has urged schools to prevent abortions). india is going the wrong way, yes, but there is no check (atleast western govt. are preventing future cases to happen) ... in the name of freedom, people are leading towards self-destruction. Further, the advent of youngsters in pubs has led to increased drug-addiction.
2009
Moral standards have been decimated. alchohol, drugs and cigarettes are the lifelines of the massive young generation india boasts of. Marriage is no longer required, nor any social bond between youngsters. The middle and rich class have become india, while the poor are still 'bharat'. Bharat still has a society where ladies discuss that this girl was seen walking with a guy, where people mock but in a way care for the society. India is a personal secretive place, where sex is just like money or power, a barter. Bharat still has brothers fighting with the girl's boyfriend to not come near her, but india has brother of the girl wooing the boyfriend's sister for a one-night-stand. marriages end in a week if the guy is unable to satisfy the girl (does anyone remember their parents which are bonded till date, despite all odds, despite differences, they still stand strong, and probably better).
The gurus of globalisation have failed and its proved that all this free market thing is a bull-shit. with western countries thinking of protectionism, indian dogs still wag about their tails waiting for Foriegn investors to come back and give them glory, just like a courtesan waits every night for her customer. if the 'goras' can learn from india, why cant india learn from itself ???? is it necessary india has to learn from the F'ing west ?? they've done so for 2 generations, but to no greatness, apart from freedom .. waht ?? freedom of doing what ?? wearing inadequate clothes ?? f'ing any random chick on the road ?? killing your classmate ? marrying twice and adopting to muslim religion ??
why cant the proponents of freedom abide some rules and live like his/her ancestors did ??
My latest worry now is that bharat doesnt think of becoming india.
Pyaasa still rules with "yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai ??? " it would continue to do so !

the age of experimental cinema ...
i got a chance to see this year's Filmfare awards.. It seemed a fixed, or more rationally, an affair dominated by big-wigs of the industry. though bakwaas movies like dostana, rab ne etc got 1 or 2 awards, they had nominations in many of the categories. however, the unforgettable movies of 2008, like A Wednesday, dasvidaniya etc. were just nominated for 1 or 2 categories. Further a fact came up that sholay, the biggest blockbuster india offered just 1 filmfare, that too for editing. Sadly, It seems that these award business is closely linked with the power at bollywood.
Nonetheless, Its heartening to know that the age of relevant, experimental cinema has dawned over bollywood. I'd believe its inception was started in around 2007, with low budget comic flicks proving commercial successes. Am talking about Khosla ka ghosla, bheja fry etc. Before you appreciate these subtle movies, i'd tell you a little history. The start of 1990's were dominated by family romantic movies with the backdrop of indian traditions. (sadly that age hasnt ended and we still see that stuff on TV, nowadays.). Adventure movies like khalnayak, tridev etc, which had poor acting, bad story deserve a mention to tell the taste of the audience.
Then comes the most bad time of indian cinema. Govinda's movies (with the title carrying no. 1) were most popular and widely liked by audience. Only 1 good thing i find about 1990's is that it gave andaz apna apna and maine pyar kiya ...
coming to late 90's shahrukh's romantic movies had changed Indian mentalities. with the advent of kuch kuch hota hai, the concept of girlfriends and boyfriends in teenage life started in metros, which was soon to be copied by in the name of westernisation of india. Then these themes continued till it got so sick that people finally realised yash raj film's movies suck. i personally have stopped seeing any movie of that banner since Kabhi alvida na kehna.
Then i'd call the start of experimental cinema. Till the time people get a particular topic to associate with, experimental movies are finding decent revenues and a lot of acclaim. Black friday, aamir etc deserve an appraise in that matter. more importantly, movies of paresh rawal, naseerudin shah, om puri, kay kay, irfan khan, rahul bose, abhay deol and shreyas talpade have been hits despite no one dominating the industry.
this 2009 has seen the use of mainstream actors into experimental cinema, which shows that the bollywood is finally accepted the age of experimental cinema. with delhi-6, the stoneman murders (i saw it yesterday and loved it), dev-d and luck by chance in 2 months, i hope more meaningful cinema is on the cards for the 10 left.
oh please dont remind me of billu barber .. it sucked really .. whatever optimistic that post says.
