Ajmal Kasab died in custody Pak media spreads news kasav dead

Is kasab alive or dead ?
Paksitan after saying in the reports that 26-11 was not planned on Pakistani land and no bank links trace back to pakistan, has resorted to the old tactics.
Pakistani media is spreding the news the 26-11 only surving terrorist Ajmal kasab was killed in the custody.India hasen't sent the DNA sample of him.

26-11 terrorists slept during the mayhem at oberoi

This may come as a shocking revelation what the terrorists were doing during those 50 plus hours at oberoi after killing so many people.
They could lock themselves in aroom at the 18th floor and slept after killing so many people the first night of the attack.
While the whole of india was wide awake glued to their television set, these perpetrators of the terror were sleeping peacefully after killing so many people.
Were these people human?
Or did our force lacked somewhere?
Of course our Forces did the best under the circumstances and the ammunition availbale.But don't we need to wake up now?
By the way, this is not at all shocking that Pakistan sais after the "investigation" that the attack wasen't planned or no peparations were carried out on pakistan's territory.

MHA denies any hijack threat in Maharshtra

A bit confusing , but MHA denies any kind of hijack threat ay Airports in Maharshtra.
It's safe for a while.

Airports on High Alert In Maharashtra Hijack Air attack threat -intel input

All the Airports in Maharshtara is on High alert after Intellignece and Home ministary advised Maharshtra of possible hi jack or air attack threats.
It's good to see that intelligence is acting proactively.May be there would be nothing behind it.But being proactive would help another 26/11 in Bombay or anywhere in india, for that matter.
within half an hour after this news broke out, MHA denied any such report.
They explined by saying it was for 26th of januray republic day, and not only at maharashtra airport but all over the country.
So no need to worry

Pramod Muthalik Malegaon blast link Lt col Prasad Purohit

There is nothing wrong in referring to outfits like Ram sena as terrrorists.
What they did in Mangalore was an act of terrror.
But what's coming out of this is more sensational.
Lt Col Prasad Purohit ,who is accused in Malegaon blast, confirms his links with Pramod Muthalik.He said he met Muthalik in Pune ans was impressed with him. ATS is probing further into this issue.
There are over 48 cases against Muthalik , which are of provocative speech making.
That doesnt come as a shock, as people who are capable of molesting women or endorsing such deeds are quite capable of the real terrorists acts.
What extent would these guys go to in the name of cliched "Hindutva"
Hindutva is about harmonical coexistance, not about molesting and killing people.These are the people who give "hindutva" a bad name.
Muthalik praised pragya Thakur for Malegaon blast in a recorded speech.he said that every house should have someone like pragyya. She's revolutinistand not a terrorist.He siad Malagaon was just a trailer.It was just to show what these people are capable of.
It seems "Picture abhi bannki hai".

Muthalik developing Story:
29th jan 2009 Muthalik claimed later this evening that he doesn't know any col Prasad Purohit.

Pub Culture Should it be banned

What are these old CMs up to.
I don't understand their startaegy.
Lets try to figure out
They are against drinking alcohol?
or are they against women drinking alcohol?
or are the against men and women drinking alcohol together?

Case no 1: ban all the brewries and wine shops and bars.
you wont do that. what about the revenue?

Case no2: You have know right to tell woman what they should do . Ban guy too. You cannot impose your whimps to anyone. You stop drinkinf first.Then ask women to do it.

Case no 3: May be these chuvinists don't believe in equality of sexes.Are u eunuchs scared that woman will beat us in this game as well.
dont Bulls**t people about hindutva. Where does it say women shalnt drink?.r where does it say at the first place, "men are allowed to drink"?


Stop patronising, policing . This is against democracy. People are free to do what they want and noone has any rights to stop them as long as they are not troubling you.And you double standards have no bussiness doing things like that when you are not good with what you are supposed to do.
What kind of culture is that where woman or man are scared to go out?
where any mob backed by some political motive would assault them, molest them anywere in broad daylight.?
Aren't we scared of terrorists ? Yes! and these people are terrorists who inflect fear in the comon people.And must be treated that way and hown no mercy.
Let me add Pakistan and kasabs need not bother about terrorising India. Our political groups are capable of doing it ourselves in th name of hindutva nd religion.

These are few of her songs that we have enjoyed the remixed version of without knowing anything about the original singer who made them immortal through her melodious voice

Exclusive interview and things you never knew about Shamshad Begum!!

.Shamshad Begum (April 14, 1919][1]) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5000 on the completion of the contract on Jenaphone.
Sometime back, a controversy erupted in the media, when several publications, gave the false news of her death, before it was clarified that the Shamshad Begum who died in 1998 was Saira Banu's (Dilip Kumar's wife) grandmother with the same name, and the legendary singer, has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband, Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955 [2]. Recently, she celebrated her 89th birthday at her elder sister's house and now she stays at Powai, Mumbai [3]. She was conferred the Padma Bhushan in 2009.[4]

.Condoling Venkataraman’s death, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said on Tuesday the country had lost a great freedom fighter, statesman, parliamentarian, labour leader and an astute lawyer.
Officials said the Beating Retreat, an annual military ceremony signifying the end of India’s Republic Day celebrations, had been cancelled because of the former president’s death.

Obama tough on Pakistan-US- Drone strikes -war against terror- US could strike pakistan

Barack Obama has made it very clear that America will take a tough stand on terrorism. US has made it clear that military operatins is not beyond contempaltion, if pakistan continues with it's antics. Bidan said NATO forces would't be hesitant to strike inside pakistan if they have enough intelligence reports.
The recent Drone attack is symbolic of Obama's tough stand on war against terror.
W T F is DRONE ?

Drone basically is unmanned surveillance flier, kind of remote controlled spy plane , which can be used for attacking from a remote place.

In the meantine Zardari says civillians are getting killed at drone at pakistani tribal areas (Waziristan ) to eliminate Al Queda elements.

MNS strikes again in a school at nashik Raj thakarey at it again

In a school bhojpuri songs were playing at a republic day celebration at Nashik.MNS people come and don't even spare the young children celebrating republic day this time it seems.
They are getting better at nagging and beating helpless people it seems. First is was defenceles taxi drivers, now school- what next?
I want to tell these so called party workers-These politicians will wash their hands off you and wipe their butt clean .The followers of such parties who do such shameful deeds would be the ones in the deep s**t.
I don't understand, what sort of people do not get it that they are being used for sheer political reasons .why can't we live in peace and support each other and fight against the terrorists and outside elements rather then making issues out of petty regional differences.
15 people have been arrested so far .
These 15 people need to understad someday some other politician will find another reason where these people's family could be victims. If you have that hot blood, channalise and use it in the right direction. Show that "power" when an outsider comes inour country and fight for a real cause. Please don't get fooled by these people, who have no concern for anyone but themselves and their political milage.

Mangalore 5 girls molested by Shameful Ramsena Pawan Shetty fights|Muthalik arrested in Belgaon

5 Girls were molsted on the eve of republic day in Mangalore at a pub (Amnesia) this Saturday, jan 24th 2009 ,4 pm IST . The 40 monsters called themselves Ramasena. Call them Ravan-sena instead. And only one passerby, a 20 year old college studentPawan Shetty had the guts to fight them. He emerges here , whereas several men standing there were just mute spectators.

I appreciate their cause .They want to save our Indian Culture,which is good.But there are better ways to do it.Beating up people or helpless girls would give them a bad name and image.Who doesn't like religious groups .I wish they would spread the message of peace and harmony, and then they will be heard and liked by people.
If they can win people over with their arguments and behavior,I think they will be winners.

Anyway, such parties backed by political groups need to banned.if they continue with beating tactics,they are not hindus, they dont have a religion and- least of it- anyway related to lord Rama. Any act that causes pain and humiliation to anyone cannot be passed of as moral policing. Such people who dont think they did anything wrong by beating up women, should not only be banned but put behind bars for life to teach them a lesson.

As the news said:

After 48 hours, nothing has been done about it. government is talking about taking strict actions , but hasent done anything crutial so far.Apparantly, 17 people have been arrested and the rest 21 have fled or are underground. Vice president of the acclaimed "moral police " is arrested.

Parasad attawar is arrested too .

Master mind Dinaker Shetty and the other top bosses are absconding.

Sri Ram Sena's founder P Muthalik is still unapologetic and says they have done the moral thing.They would have done the same thing if their mothers and sisters were there.

Clearly, these people don't even know what they are saying. How are these insane people to know what they are doing.They must be put behind bars- if not jails then asylum.They don't deserve to be roaming in the city like that.

They are not the only ones ,recently there were incidences of killing Christians in orrisa,beating north indians in maharashtra.And there are many more .

What would you say to that?

developments in the case:

Pramod muthalik has been arrested from belgaon today on 27th of january.

first Partial Solar Eclipse on republic day 26th jan 2009 how to look. next 22nd july 2009 full eclipse

A partial solar eclipse (surya grahan) would be visible in south-eastern parts of India on January 26.This would be the first solar eclipse of 2009

If you want to take a look-

Experts had already warned people not to look at the eclipse without protecting their eyes. According to them, a good way to observe the eclipse is to create a pinhole camera that is pointed at the sun and its image projected onto a darkened screen.

Solar filters can also be used to observe the eclipse. They also feel that it is not safe to use photo-negatives, X-ray photos, sunglasses or stained glass to observe the eclipse.

The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati. Totality will be visible in many cities such as Surat, Varanasi, Patna, Thimphu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shanghai. A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including most of South East Asia and north-eastern Oceania.

Is Hritik Roshan gay | hrithik fits's Armaan Ali 's physical description

It's not that Hririk is gay or anything. But there is something interesting in the book Q and A(slumdog millionaire) . it's about a heartthrob who's a gay. Interestingly,the physical description suits hritik .
The greek god looks.
Grey hazel eyes.
cleft chin etc
I'm sure while describing the next suparstar after Amitabh bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, one cannot think of anyone but Hritik, who has all the ingredients to be next Superstar, if at all.


Q and A is just a fiction , the writer Swarup is infected with bollywood masala virus.

last week wasent about india much - celebrating foreign rejoices

After being on fire for past few months , last week was quite uneventful for india.
Apart from mumbai marathon last sunday which emphasized on "running for a cause" and Sanjay dutt's tryst with politics and the debate whether a convict on bail could get a ticket and fight election, nothing much really happened.

Yes we raved about foreign stories this week.

Obama oath taking was quite an event for us. I don't know why are we so awestuck with these Americans. It becomes a bigger event than anything of our own.





Anyway second was" Slumdog millionaire". Ever since it has been acclaimed world over and has got golden globe in four categories , we are raving and drooling about the movie. I've seen the pirated version myself .It's a wonderfully made movie. But please people , i don't think it an Indian movie at all. it's a movie aboutIndia with Indian actors.
And hadn't it been a British movie, it wouldn't have got the kind of recognition it is getting. It's entertaining , crisp, and a bollywood-masala kind of movie, with a dash of distinction.
Anyway, for me it's not an Indian movie- though i loved watching it.

Haven't we raved about Manoj night-sixth sense- Shyamalan in the past, who denied being an Indian while he was riding the success.Later he remembered the roots when he realized Indians , as usual, tried to connect with it. And in turn gave him a huge audience base.
We have the capability to make anything a hit.I mean we can outnumber any country if per head consensus is taken on any subject,provided we are duped into getting interested in the subject. After all we are HRRC (human resourse rich country)

Ahem ahem





C2cc on the other hand failed misrebaly.akshay finds it hard to accept and talks about a sequel to the movie. Akshay! you have been good ,i like your movies, but i dont watch all .
I didn't watch tashan. i 'm not watching C2cc either. He 's at his best with Priyadarshan or Katrina Kaif i think.
I think they knew the movie is going to bomb. That explains delaying it's release for so long.Usually that happens when film-makers aren't happy with the movie and take time to edit-re edit- reshoot or adding masala or reconsidering strategy to woo public.
Believe me that's a normal practice with just a few exceptions like "khosla ka ghosla" who did it because such a wonderful movie must have been sweeped by big-baddie-fries of bollywood.



Oh yeah! Amir Kasab case hasent budged an inch. We are putting diplomatic pressure on Pakistan it seems.I wonder they will keep building the pressure all their lives. Mr mukherjee goes mild and says if Pakistan can't send the convicts here , they should do a fair and transparent trial in Pakistan .
Fair trial my a**.
They are our culprits. we must punish them. and if Pakistan has problems sending them here, they must be trying to hide something.I dont understand politics , by the way.

Also, Some minister said MNS instance of threatening comedian Shakeel and packing him back was justified.
Wow, since you can't do anything to the real culprits why not torture those people who cannot hit you back. Rather they don't want to. Shakeel has always made us laugh with his crisp and weird sense of humour. I hope he comes back.
Politicians should not play with vulnerable Indian emotions and channelize our energy in negative direction to camouflage the fact they cant stick it up like a bunch of eunuchs.
We have to fight bad elements in Pakistan, not the good and friendly people from across the border, who probably love India as much.


Anyway nothng much this week for India

Anurag Kashyap has always been innovative and original thinker of our times.
The same guy Who came up with "female drummer" concept in his "Paaanch"
Won critical acclaim with "black-friday"
His last " no- smoking was a disaster at the box office. May be we are not ready for his kind of intellect yet. I found no smoking very different and at the aplomb of creativity.It's basic concept was based on the ancient knowledge . It was about soul,aatma-parmatma, karma which went straight for a googly. As i understand it the message in the movie was"cigareete or any kind of narcotics makes you loose your soul. you get away from yourself until your soul is metamorphic ally dead"
We can accept a matrix and appreciate , but can't give a second thought to the only Indian directer who could possibly think at that level.

I'm eagerly waiting for Anurag's version of Devdas " DEV- D as we know it.



He sure can keep ahed of time with innovative promotional ideas.
I mean, who could think of starting a hot lustline for one of the characters of the movie.
you have to listen to the husky voice of the leading lady(Kalki Koechlin)'s voice who apparently plays a french call girl in the movie. Quite a methodical actor , one must say. i wonder what Aamir khan's got to say about that
I'd recommend him for the best marketing guru of India along with Aamir Khan.
I wish all the best to Mr Kashyap and DevD

Ever noticed the trailer of Raaz 2 - The mystery continues seems inspired by final destination and Ring , the top hollywood horrors of all time. Anyway mukesh bhatt camp has been famous in the past for lifting scenes from "what lies beneath" and "lake placid" .
It's not something new for the bhatt camp considering vishesh films altogether
Kasoor (jagged edge) , raaz( what lies beneath) and Saaya (dragon-fly)

Anyway the news doing the rounds is

"The story is weaved around saint Kabir's idiom 'Bura jo dekhan main chala, bura na milya koi; jo dil khoja apna, ta mujh sa bura na koi,' meaning that the evil is within and that is the message of the film,"

Did you know emperor Shahjahan wanted to build a five star hotel.But it couldn't be completed on time.
However he did manage to build the swimiming pool on schduele.
Moreover, Mumtaj mahal was killed in a road accident ,of course while child-birth,while she was taken to the hospital in a cab.
do you know your life could be in deep shit while trying to get autograph of the bollywood icon-Amitabh bachchan.
Or do you know who the third musketeer was in alexender dumas's book by the same name.
Well you get all your answers in Doyle's "SlumDog Millionaire".

This is a the story of these three musketters viz Salim malik and latika.
A wonderful ficticios story of a slumdog,who turns into a millionaire at the end.
He's leart all his lesson the hard way.Life's taught him all the answers till the journey to the sets of "who wants to be a millionaire".

A far fetched yet beautifully narrated story of hardships, bitrayal,persistance and love.
A must watch even if it were never nominated for such huge awards.


Directors:Danny Boyle
Loveleen Tandan (co-director: India)

Writers:Simon Beaufoy (screenplay) and
Vikas Swarup (novel)

cast:

Dev Patel ... Jamal Malik
Anil Kapoor ... Prem Kumar
Saurabh Shukla ... Sergeant Srinivas
Rajendranath Zutshi ... Director (as Raj Zutshi)
Jeneva Talwar ... Vision Mixer
Freida Pinto ... Latika
Irrfan Khan ... Police Inspector
Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail ... Youngest Salim
Ayush Mahesh Khedekar ... Youngest Jamal
Sunil Kumar Agrawal ... Mr Chi (as Sunil Aggarwal)
Jira Banjara ... Airport Security Guard #1
Sheikh Wali ... Airport Security Guard #2
Mahesh Manjrekar ... Javed
Sanchita Couhdary ... Jamal's Mother
Himanshu Tyagi ... Mr Nanda

After failing to find a suitable actor in India, Dev Patel was cast as the lead role, Jamal, after Danny Boyle's daughter first saw him on the English TV show "Skins" (2007) and urged her father to take a look.


Mercedes-Benz asked that its logos be removed in scenes taking place in the slums. The company, according to Danny Boyle, did not want to be associated with the poverty-stricken area, fearing that that might taint its image.


The actor whose autograph young Jamal gets is Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan is a very real, and very famous Indian actor, the original host of the Indian version of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', and also the father-in-law of Aishwarya Rai (or Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan as she is known after marriage).


The cricket match being shown on television in Javed's house is the 1st one day international of the Future Cup between India and South Africa played at Civil Service Cricket Club, Stormont, Belfast on June 26 2007. As shown in the movie, Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian batsman, was run out on 99. India went on to score 242 and South Africa won the match by 4 wickets with 3 balls remaining.


The film used a prototype Digital Cinema Camera from Silicon Imaging. When used in Mumbai, there were SI technicians on set constantly to deal with any problems the prototype had, of which there were many.






factual Errors:

Factual errors: (Possibly deliberate decision of filmmakers for benefit of international audience) The Indian numbering system does not use millions. After one thousand, there is the lakh, which is a hundred thousand, and then a crore, which is a hundred lakh (hence ten million). 10 Million rupees should have been referred to as "1 Crore" and would have been written 1,00,00,000 instead of 10,000,000.


Factual errors: In the actual game show in India the game starts with 10 contestants and a fastest finger first round. Only the person who answers the quickest gets to sit on the hot seat, yet in the movie Jamal automatically gets to sit on the hot seat without any fastest finger first round.


Factual errors: In the real quiz show, besides the contestant there are nine more contestants sitting around the hot seat in case the player loses, but in the movie no one was sitting waiting around the hot seat stage.


Factual errors: In the movie, the correct answer to the question of who wrote the song "Darshan Do Ghanshyam Naath" is shown as "Kavi Surdas". However in reality, this song is written by G.S.Nepali.


Continuity: While driving the car after escaping from Javed and going towards meeting Jamal, the scar appears on right side of Latika's face although it is on left side of her face before the scene when Salim slips her hair and in rest of the movie.


Continuity: After the scene where Jamal got a black eye from the cab driver, his swollen eye was his left eye, but in one shot, it was his right eye.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where Javed is partying with his friends and Latika is held captive, the audio playing in the background is from the movie 'Don', whereas the visual shown on TV is from the movie 'Yuva'.


Factual errors: The young Salim and Jamal are shown to attend the primary municipality school at Mumbai. These schools never had the Three Musketeers story in syllabus. In fact, schools except convent do not have the story in syllabus.


Anachronisms: Although the events of the movie are set in the summer of 2006, the cricket match being played at Javed's house between India and South Africa was played in 2007.


Continuity: When Salim and Jamal find Latika in the dance studio she is seen without and then with a nose ring.


Continuity: In the scene where Jamal and Latika see each other at the railway station (when they are grown up and in the next scene Latika gets kidnapped by Salim), Jamal is standing on the over bridge and spots Latika and calls out to her looking downwards and towards his right. Then when Latika spots him she is looking up and towards her left, this is not possible as the directions they are looking at they will never be able to spot each other.


Factual errors: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is not broadcast live. This is to prevent potential Phone-A-Friend's from seeing the questions on TV before they are contacted


factual errors:
In india, the hindi adaptaion of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE -Kaun Banega Crorepati wasen's live.
Please,watch the movie and suggest some more
