confused ass usual :P

well its been sometime since i have actually blogged..Ive just got up lazily from my sleep and then i couldn't just control this urge in me to pen down..ehem click down to be exact..
its been 2 years since pune has been my second home...i love this city for its freedom and the privacy..more than that it gave me an independence which none of the place has ever given..not prejudiced about the other places though..i love my hometown though however narrow the place is and its people are.
we're shifting!!and i still cant digest the fact.. somehow i don't like the idea..this you may say can be categorized to sacrifice.i really don't like the idea of living under one roof with so many people with such a lot of differences..i know i can adjust its not that i have attitude problem..and even if i have its simply my own headache..


confused as always i am now..
relations have become too raw
rages of fury growing inside
will never leave my side
i wish i could make a difference
a justice i can do to myself
freedom is all i urge
my heart is still on the verge
the warrior in me arises
when my pride is abused!!!

EVERYDOG HAS ITS DAY

and so has slum dog millionaire...like every Indian i am happy or to be exact a bit wild..but the irony is that i haven't watched the movie yet.and frankly i don't feel interested for i already know the storyline and sorry it didn't interest me much.im not trying to criticise.but like priyadarshan was saying the other day..there have been so many movies with the same theme but slum dog reached the door of the Oscars as it was directed by a foreign director.but whatever it is i am happy that someone actually noticed our talents and especially A R Rahmans(just a little late of course).but interestingly there was a lot of controversies for the film.well I'm of the opinion that controversies at times are created for making the film noticed.but anyways slum dog survived all the way through and now stands tall with the Oscars.

"tare zameen par" which was previously selected but declined later on was having a much more powerful topic.and it was something that the world must be seeing for the first time.even the short documentary "smile pinky"also sounded interesting.


well Oscar or not the biggest achievement for any film maker is appreciation from the audience.and for me films are nothing but entertainment.of course i don't deny the fact that films can convey some messages.i wish the Oscar committee or whatever it is will have a broader mind in the coming years.but once again i am happy that we've being recognised.and congrats to the full slum dog millionaire are family.
