Zipping cars, Paining souls

Economy booming, phones ringing, cars zipping around. Everything is happening and rocking. Right now, right here baby. " India Shinning" campaign is on the roll. Shining cars, shinning apartments, shinning clothes and shinning silver screen. Nothing seems to be on hold and no space for taking a pause. And, if u do that your are spaced out. But hey, hey, hang for a while. Ok, don't take pause, at least take a breath in fresh air. Its good, you can't get in airconditioned fast cars and multiplexes. Now look around and see, isn't there so many souls wraped in shinning clothes but bleeding. And its not in Bharat but in India and too in rocking metros. In the Financial capital, the Fashion capital and the IT Capital. Why these souls are bleeding? Have they been spaced out. Spaced out of what? Is't that are they longing to get space in with some. And wat u call these souls, is't : Singles. Yeah! No one wants to remain single- and the one who says he want to be is either a liar or Gautam Buddha. No amount of financial or societal independence can fill up this space. Their progression is linear not vertical. Its not coming up, to reach the point from where world one can enjoy myriad hues of nature. U can't reach that point being a single. And once u reach there, you don't remain remain a single. The two gelled to become one. For them, relation is a marvel of nature, family and kids a real huge thing. They are like the ones who are there in the space but also spaced out. A tender, delicate chord of relation, connecting with system-which is carrying it for centurie is missing. Those who deliberately choose to remain and those just happen to remain single, at least share common thing and its : Pain. And, You can't get over it either by zipping cars or ultra tech ringing gizmos. Its rocking and paining also. And they are Bharat in rocking metros. For them its not babes but at least be wiht me.

Shanti from ShahRukh

If there is one thing, one person, one actor, who can realy give "Shanti" (peace) to Indian Film industry, its ShahRukh Khan. Much before its release, Om Shanti Om, produced by his wife, is projected to give real "Shanti" to Indian viewers, especially on the biggest festival: Diwali. When was the last time, SRK even managed to give peace to his viewers with his acting skills. Isn't it that his every picture is a carefully worked out package, crafted in a manner to touch chord with viewers, stirs their emotion to an extent that they help to bring next person to ticket counter, but miserably fails to do real soul-stirring.

Isn't it shameful to even listen that an actor is saying loudly- even media is blaring it out- that he has really worked hard to get his 6 Abs. Which actor in the world, does'nt work out to shape himself as per the character. Its a prerequiste of cinema world , but SRK-only he can- has made it a virtue. Is he trying to say that by working out, he is doing much favour to his viewers? Leave alone Hollywood-where one would be looked down to even mutter such a thing- even in Indian scence, does'nt Akshay Kumar does works out- and really hard- to suit his character. Is'nt it a fact that Dharamji used to daily excercise to give that youthful, energetic and romantic image to the character? Danny is a case in point.

Sunil Sethi, Akshay Khanna all do it and Amir is doing the same for his latest film.

Its not difficult to figure it out why he is doing the same, and he knows the anwers.

Shah Rukh, just does'nt understands the basic grammar of silver screen. He is best at fooling

He fails to distinct emotions with his acting- can't even use the word skill. Whether he is crying or laughing, he leaves it to the imagination of viewers.
