Just finished “Hazaar Chaurasi ki maa”, A fine movie by Govind nihlani and moreover a great performace by Jaya ji, though few scenes are ponderous and dialogue-heavy. Movies in queue –> Aakrosh, Suraj ka Saatva ghoda. & Need to look for “Dev” by Nihlani…. got news that 3 idiots rocked in filmfare this year. Hirani,Every time fresh, the real Heera!! Giving social message is the best part of his movies. Compare his this art with Karan’s MNIK, and you will find a great difference! Love the bollywood!

(A poem by Dilip Chitre. Its the theme poem for the movie Ardha Satya (1983) by Govind Nihlani )
चक्रव्यूह में घुसने से पहले ,
कौन था मै और कैसा था ,
यह मुझे याद ही न रहेगा .
चक्रव्यूह में घुसने के बाद ,
मेरे और चक्रव्यूह के बीच ,
सिर्फ एक जानलेवा निकटता थी ,
इसका मुझे पता ही न चलेगा .
चक्रव्यूह से निकलने के बाद ,
मैं मुक्त हो जाऊं भले ही ,
फिर भी चक्रव्यूह की रचना में
फर्क ही न पड़ेगा .
मरुँ या मारूं,
मारा जाऊं या जान से मार दुं.
इसका फैसला कभी न हो पायेगा .
सोया हुआ आदमी जब
नींद से उठकर चलना शुरू करता है ,
तब सपनों का संसार उसे ,
दोबारा दिख ही न पायेगा .
उस रौशनी में जो निर्णय की रौशनी है
सब कुछ समान होगा क्या ?
एक पलड़े में नपुंसकता ,
एक पलड़े में पौरुष ,
और ठीक तराजू के कांटे पर
अर्ध सत्य .

Today is the birthday of Columbian singer and “Queen of belly” Shakira. Seldom I hear English songs (however making a slow progress in this area – thanks to Manki). And few of my fav songs in my limited collections belongs to Shakira.
From whateverver I have seen and heard, I have the opinion that She is a better dancer than singer. Her belly steps are awesome!!
Foot-Notes:
[1] According to Media Traffic, "Hips Don’t Lie" is the second most successful song since 1998, only behind Cher’s 1999 hit "Believe", so far, the most successful single in the twenty first century, the fourty-sixth most successful song in music history and also Shakira and Wyclef’s most successful single ever, amassing nearly 10 million points .

[2] Farah khan gave her dance lessons for “His don’t lie”, and that you can slightly guess from the steps and feel of the dance.

What a beauty she was!!
Parveen babi was the Queen of Bollywood in 70s. She reached the zenith of her career in early 70s. She gave box office hits like Deewar, Namak Halaal, Amar Akbar Anthony and Shaan.
She had love affairs with director Mahesh Bhatt, actors Kabir Bedi, and Danny. But after her break up with Danny she seemed to be mentally finished. Shattered and shaken Babi continues with her work.
During the shoot of Shaan, she had an attack of schizophrenia, a disease in which men think that they would be killed by someone near to their heart. Her success did not run into the mid-eighties as she had left the film industry to move to New York in 1983. She returned to Mumbai in 1992. But the diva Parveen Babi was lost in an overweight unsocial lady. She confined herself in her own world and breaks off all relationship with Bollywood.
Mahesh Bhatt made three films on his and Babi’s relationship. The first one is Arth, which stars Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil, the second film is Phir Teri Kahani Yaad ayi, which stars Puja Bhatt and Rahul Roy, and the third one is Woh Lamhe, Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut. Mahesh himself admitted that Woh Lamhe was the real story of Babi and Mahesh.
Sadly, She was found dead in her alone Mumbai apartment.

Here (Need to upload it Again ) is the answer of the title of the post.

Was reading few comments on “fatwa on Vande matram”. One of reader posted a fact. “Muslims want someone to blame for there unsuccessfullness , Pakistan blaming India, Palestine blame Israel, Afghan blame western world, Chechnya blame Russia , Hamas blame Lebanon government and Indian Muslims blame Modi. While Muslims are so much problematic? “
Though I have equal respect for Muslims and Hindus, but I am unable to give a counter-comment for it. Its a fact.
PS: Few Muslims in India want to become face of Indian Muslims. Javed Akhtar is among them. He is good in lyrics and a moron in this field. See his latest bullshit.

Earlier I used to think Bal Thackrey as a Right-wing, Nationalist, Hindu leader. But After this incident, My perception got changed. Actually He is much similar to Jinnah. Jinnah started his political career as Nationalist leader and ended with riots and partition of the Nation. Thackrey is also on the same way.
Even faces/body of both leaders are 40% similar 
And for MNS: (M)ake (N)o (S)ense
