ENJOY DIWALI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mild chill in the morning air bring along with Diwali atmosphere . Diwali bring along the feeling of joy, enthusiasm , fun and lots of energy . We see along every house , shops nook and corner people scrubbing the floors and cleaning there houses to welcome Goddess Lakshmi at home. The markets are filled with heaps of rangoli colours , kandils(lanterns), crackers and sweets .


My favourite among them is the Akashkandil which sways with gentle wind during the Diwali night surrounded by the colourful light torans. The traditional pantis with lit up diyas removes the darkness of the night illuminates and radiates happiness in every person rich and poor with simple joy and smile.




The festivities and shopping around the Diwali is enjoyable but my favourite part of the festivities is the faral for Diwali . The fragrance of the bhajani for chakli which is brought freshly grounded is simply put of the world. WOW!!!. The aroma of the besan while preparing of besan ladoos craves to have the ladoo melt in your mouth as soon as possible.



Its great fun to be in the kitchen during the preparation of faral ( i do it very less and my work is mainly to taste the faral ). Its fun to watch the ladoos being rolled into shape and stuffed with pista,badam, charoli and kismis. The making of chaklis is fun to watch which really require skill and strength to shape them up. The crispy and sweet diamond shaped Shankarpalis( wonder why its name like that) are very beautiful .



But mine favourite is "CHIVDA". It just a bliss to have the combination of chivda, garma garma chai and Diwali ank ( makes my Diwali day :) ). The chivda is such a craze for me that friends at hostel used to address me "CHIVDA BABA" .Although its being my made yearly for me but the relish of enjoying it in Diwali is something different. The Kranjis with its sweet half moon shaped filled with coconut fillings also makes to lose the calories consciousness.Then are may rawa ladoos, anarse , shev the list goes on and on .... .


But the fun of Diwali is along with friends and relatives together and enjoying whole day with faral and gupshup day along. Evenings filled with dhamal bursting crackers , and who will miss the colourful rangolis which welcomes Goddess Lakshmi to bless all the year along . But the truth is fast pace life and the people moved away for careers head these moments have been lost . Still the advent of Facebook, Twitter and E-greetings have made virtual gathering of festivities.

Who can forget the bursting of crackers , the sparkling sparkles , the anars and the zamin chakras . It was fun to gather on the terrace or ground and enjoy the crackers with bonfire at the end.But, now we have to be socially responsible since these crackers also affect the old people, small children , animals and birds . So its better to burst cracker before 10 p.m and after 6 a.m .
The Diwali along with the welcoming of wealth it also brings along the responsibility to share joy , clothes, firecrackers and sweets to the needy people .

So , enjoy DIWALI with delicious faral, play safe with crackers and have loads of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SHUBH DIWALI TO ALL FRIENDS ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAISA VASOOL.MOVIE !!!

This movie Sahib ,Biwi Aur Gangster is a perfect movie which makes for the feeling of paisa vasool movie. A great entertainer movie with a taut script and a great star cast makes a great watch. Tigmanshu Dhulia initial movie Charas was also on drug mafia starring Irfan Khan and Jimmy Shergill which was similar entertainer.

The casting of the individual roles for the characters have been simply perfect . The aristocratic sahib in the heartland of Uttar Pradesh played by Jimmy Shergill is simply royal. The family which has lost it financially and fighting to keep its root in the political system uses every means available in the book to bump of its rival.The royal habits of hunting, the arrogance and lust has been depicted in very realistic way . Its very heartening to see Jimmy Shergill role has been of substance and main lead since he has been a proven actor in supporting roles in films like Wednesday and Munnabhai series.

Mahi Gill since DevD has been a revelation , she has played the role of woman neglected by sahib and always in search of quenching her thirst for lust. The intensity of the role has been neatly maintained by her . Her every look seems to have a flash of TABU in her and by her acting she proves she is different for the typically starry craps in Bollywood.

The surprise package has been Randeep Hooda in the role, he has done a wonderful role . His entry has been stunning he plays a role with aplomb.A spy planted by the rivals which it gets into illicit relationship with sahib's wife and then trying to topple sahib in the greed for power and lust for his wife.

The dialogues of the movies are fantastic and very apt to the situation . The script has lots of thrills and surprising move which keeps the audience on the edge of the seat. The supporting star cast of the main rival of Sahib and the politician . The rural setup, the rustic language and the gun fights bring the memories of the old filmi style treatment.

Overall , a fantastic movie which will make you smile with enjoying every moment of it .

UPA'S DANDIYA RAAS

Its Navaratra Utsav which is being celebrated around India, people are enjoying the garba and dandiya festivities .The festival in which all the devotees pray to goddess Durga and also do jagran by enjoying garba . The similar type of ritual is being followed around the congress high house at 10 Janpath . The deity for the Congress chamcha is non other than the one and only one Italino Sonia Devi.

It has been a mere coincidence the way issues flare up on her arrival and all the congress bhakts just run around her mandir praying for solutions. Our Bengali Babu Moshoi made a true revelation and a note that his chaddi yarr Chiddu could have avoided the 2G scam. This created a storm in the lungi of Chettinand yedchap who started crying and creating ruckus at home since he is the Home minister. So our Chiddu started calling franatically to one Sardar who we Indians are made to believe that he is the PM.But everyones knows who the real PM is the one who has the remote in her  hands.Fearing there Devi our Pranabda ran to New York and then started to explain Mandy about his mistakle. But our Top ka Sardar was interested in clearing the line for the Pakistan foreign weapon of mass destruction Khar.Thus it was a futile visit for Pranabda,he would utilised the time to prepare for the Durga Pujo. The only thing he missed might be the PM's birthday which was being celebrated in the flight .

When the PM and his entourage came along the problem of Pranab Chitti to Chiddu got flared up in the media. Now the navratara has started and it was the time to please the goddess. Thus, we saw in the Congress TV channels like CNN-IBN that the ministers with their best attire were getting ready to play garba . Thus, every top minister from Khurshid, Moily, Narayanswamy s, danced to the tunes of Soniadevi. Every day during the nine day fest we will see great dramas. The Chiidu will always send rumours that he is going to resign , our Sardar will cry along everytime he has full confidence in Chaadi oops Chiddu. Then Bangla man will appease PM to show he didn't mean that . Then in the late midnight all GoM will go to Sonia and try to explain her the similar situation. This situation go on daily for nine days.

But the real surprise will be when the hidden cameras will show us that rather than discussing about the issues, these ministers are dancing around Sonia and enjoying the Garba nights . Rahul Gandhi is beating the drums and the Doggie a.k.a Diggy Singh will bark around assume he is singing. Thus , rather be involved in some serious issues which are close to to people but enjoying the night revelry .So here when the planning committee decides that anyone earning more than Rs 32/- per day is not poor, our government not concerned with this issue. They are angered that there Home Minster is just accused of not being able to avoid the scam . On whose money our Finance Minister was making those foreign jaunts , it would have been wise if he would have stayed 2-3 days more. The worst he would have called PM on India's 3G network . It shows how the govt will blow the Indians money and says we are not the part of crime.
Its for us to decide why and how to destroy the ten headed monster of Congress this coming Dusherra or just flocking the theaters to watch SRKs Ra-one .

Political Chamak-chalos :) :)

After viewing the trailer of SRK's RA-ONE " You are my chamakchalo " it just strike me in our political circles there are political items which make the government dance to the tune of there whims and fancies .

Considering the present UPA 2.0 , the one and only one Italiano gelato which moves and shakes the Sardar and his ministers. SONIA , the pizza girl who with her drama of giving up the highest post of PM made herself the poster girl of the Congress government. The brand Gandhi, made her path easier than others in the rat race of politics. The lady has team of chamchas like Doggy Diggy(a.k.a Digvijay Singh) who digs his own pit for his stupidity and falls in it. The no hold bared Manish Tewari who has masterminded the art of politics of talking away from the point and blabbering all night along. Then there's the hamara Lungiwallah Chiddu (Chidambarbarm) who shows is mathematical genius by giving awesome calculations about after how much time the terrorist have strike India (surprisingly giving us strike rate at which Mumbai has been attacked by terrorist ).There Bongo Babumoshai Pranabda who instead of finding solution to inflation is digging history to play blame games against NDA's policies. The party includes a lawyer by profession who have always defended white collar criminals and star's son in bomb blast case took his potshots at ANNA'S Team of being corrupt, yup that SIBAL the Tribal. We can't forget the two major lead people who dance around Sonia , one is what we cal him the remote controlled PM,His Highenss Manmohan Singh . He is the one who gave India a fillip towards global growth and now he has turned out to be a doll in the hands of the Italiano Madam. Finally, the major star role has gone non other than Rahul Gandhi who has knack of going into villages and staying at home of Dalits to show pseudo secularism. Who knows does he really eats the villlager's food or gorges on the pizzas & pastas since the cameras never enter the house at the time of dining. The absence of Sonia during the Anna 's recent fast showed how dead-brained are these stalwarts . They even can take one sensible decision and always fell flat on there face. I hope on account of sycophancy, they might have changed there diet to Italian Pasta, Pizza, Nachos rather than Paratha,Dahi Machi and Rasam.They may have changed rather writing style only in itlalics .

The next one is who is not heir to any political surname , but she has lots of Maya. She is so fond of her footwear that she tells her loyal minister in state cabinet to take an empty flight to Mumbai to bring her fine - pair of shoes (expensive jimmy choos). Yup that's our UP' BE-HENJI SUSHRI Mayawati, the chief minister of UP and leader of BSP . She is fond of herself that she has installed more than 100 statues in UP. The ministers and babus in her team are so loyal they eventually they clean the dust on her shoes with pride . A mighty lady who could'nt take her leaked report from Wikileaks and blasted JULIAN ASSANGE ,the owner of Wilkileaks as mental(mad) in press conference. She offered him to have a bed kept ready in Agra's Mental Hospital. The lady has her beauty treatment and hair cuts done in Paris are at states expense. Her ministers are so generous and sychopant that at BSP 25th anniversary they gave her garland full of 1000 notes worth rupees 21 lakhs ( a small considering A.Raja's scam). Thus in UP, ALL IS WELLL if you keep in pace your jhatkas with behenji or get CBI case reopened against you is her diktat.

The third candidate for Chamak-Chalo is Huge lady JAYALALITHA( a.k.a AMMA) , the leader of AIADMK. Her fondness for shoes is also unmatches Mayawati in sheer numbers estimate she has 10,000 pairs of shoes. A strong rival to the DMK leader Karunanidhi(who just has Nidhi and no Karuna ). During election campaigns there's a strong fight for winning votes on the basis of freebies like TVs, mixer grinders, fridge that makes the kitchen politics rules.Always the one lady who moves along to the party like NDA or UPA which agrees to fill her coffers and dissolve her cases in the state against her registered by CBI. Her vote in the parliament is crucial during coalition formation. Her famous feats including the dragging of Karunanidhi of his slumber early morning in full media glare by police.

Last, but not the least includes the Bongo-lady who with her slogan MAA-MATI- MANUSH has driven out the LEFT by serving them right on their point where it hurts the most. The bongo-babe has even created trouble by her tough stance to the Center. Recently ,she just refused to go along with PM to Bangladesh due to water sharing issue. The lady during her ministry has taken every train to the remotest part of Bengal with Bangladesh. She has driven out the mighty TATA'S pet project NANO from Singur and even achieved the feat to change the name of state to Poschim Bongo. The CPI(M) which ruled the Bengal for 34 years was routed out by this fiery fisted lady and sending them in the RIGHT place in the oppostion bench .

There are still many chamak- chalos like Sushma Swaraj who can have a jig at Rajghat, Sheila Dikshit who has been really been dickshit and looted the public during CWG held in Delhi. , Renuka Chowdary who throws her overweight now and then in Hyderabad .These lady politicians who have made there ministries and babus to dance at there tunes and made a public tamasha for everyone to see. So, enjoy the fireworks of these political chamka-chalos till the original hot BEBO hits the silver screen this DIWALI with Ra-One.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!.

POTTERMANIA!!!!

The title might suggest this article is related to Harry Potter's antics, but it really has to say about the pothole saga which is creating headlines in the media.
The way the potholes are mushrooming allover the roads the BMC chief is just on the brink to say"HAVE I MADE IT LARGE"in terms of the gargantuan problem which the city faces with approximately 6000 potholes in stretch of 1100 km road in Mumbai . We can understand that the city roads are facing extreme pressure wear and tear due to alarming rise in the number of vehicles plying on the road. But the major reason for this chronic bad condition of road is due to the poor quality of material and no proper finishing of the roads before the rains.


The condition has been so worse that we have to find where does the road exists, since it seems BMC have constructed potholes and then connected it with roads. I think the present politicians in a way to get genuine publicity might jump upon the idea of getting the potholes named after their beloved leader themselves. They might further go on to say that these things are done considering the fast pace Mumbaikars live. To slow down the pace a little bit they are creating these social service.

In the time of inflationary pressure, it will save your money to go to the theme parks like Esselworld and enjoy the humpty dumpty rides on the road.Further , they might say the traffic jam might give up the liberty to ponder over spiritual thought or write a diary which may further develop you as an author.
So, these white topi netas ( not Mee Anna Hazare types) can give you more reasons to show that having potholes might benefit the aam junta. Children might enjoy making the small paper boats and stream along the puddles formed due to potholes. It would be better than to go through the traffic snarls at Juhu and watch the MV WISDOM and PAVIT ships stuck at the coast.It might help the Indian athletes to practice in Mumbai for the hurdles and steeplechase to win medal at London Olympics 2012. There also hope for the common man who carries dahi with him for journey at office can just add a little sugar and till he reaches home can enjoy delicious lassi form within a short span of 2-3 hours journey.
Thats the reason I feel BMC agreed to lower the rate of contract of roads by 25% and thus make life a lot of hell vis -a-vis  comfortable for already stressed Mumbaikars. The only good realization that these potholes will make people to place their car at homes and use public transport,walk for short distances and reduce pollution and conserve fuel.
:) :) :) ENJOY!!!!!!!

Its a Simple Ad silly !!!!

Just read in todays ET about few communities in the India are disappointed about the new series of ads on TV . In short, there series of ads on TV which it shows the connectivity of the telecom service provider Tata Docomo. The opposition comes from the characters which are depicted in the ad like doctors, home maids and many more. These ads are far much better than those stand up comic act of Ranbir Kapoor.



One of the ad show about the doctors which leaves his mobile in the patients stomach and then the phone rings indicating the connectivity of the Tata Docomo . Another ad indicates how the housemaid who steals the mobile phone and is caught by the Docomo tune .

The point is now these groups have gone to the Advertising Council to complain that the ads are against the ethics. But, why so much trouble when these ads are just some comic situation being shown to make the point about Tata's network. Why these group can take this ads in humorous way. Haven't we have seen this incident occur in real life , except the network is not there even in the public spaces.

The agencyDraft FCB-Ulka has made a very interesting and to the point ad which is being presented in a funny way which anybody can understand . Just to oppose for the sake of opposition ,the groups should not drag into controversies. There are many ads about deodorants and condoms which are so badly made that can have bad impact on society they are never taken by task. This mentality is bad for creativity and originality .



Apart from Ad world, in the recent agitation against corruption Dr. Kiran Bedi in frustration mimic the political situation of the country by staging an act with ghungat . That act made our so called Honorable MPs that breach of privilege motion was set against her. Even a senior fine actor like Om Puri was not spared for using word "gavar " for these MPs.We have seen these buffoons stall the work in parliament and make the Parliament look like fish market. So these politicians also for their cannot digest any humor against them .


Even then the telecom sector which is marred by the controversies comes up with fantastic ads like the Har Ek Dost Zaroori Hota Hai and Idea's 3G pe bizzi ads.So rather then miring the creative people to make innovative ads and learning to digest some fun poked at you,the people should chillax and should join the party since ITS JUST A SIMPLE AD SILLY :) .

Branded Ganapati Bappa !!!!

" Ganapati Bappa Morya " the air is filled with more shouts and shrills of joy and excitement in the air.The Elephant headed deity has been turned out to be trump card for the marketing of products and brands . The initial branding of Ganapati has been started by the most famous , influential and perhaps the richest Ganesh mandal in Lalbaug called "Lalbaugcha Raja". The belief that the Raja makes true all the wishes of his bhakt ( navasa) and it started the brand with long crowd bee lining the area to touch the feet of the lord.


This instance has in fact picked up prominence in last 5- 10 years where every mandal has started to advertise that there Ganapati fulfills the wish of every bhakt ( navsala pavnara ganapati). This craze thus brought along the horde of advertisers and media to cash on the craze generated by the Raja. Thus came the huge mandaps with historical monuments of Red fort, Akshardhama Temple(in pic) came along . Huge hoardings of advertisers especially of the Manikchand pan masala were always seen at the entrance of the set . Thanks to people awareness the mandal has stopped using tobacco's related advertises from this year .


The media especially the regional news channel started special slots to follow our loving God Ganapati . They stated various contests for the tallest idol , beautiful set design and eco friendly Ganesh mandals. This craze brought many big sponsors to telecast the event and genrate brand identity among the mass with this popular festival. Film stars like Amitabh and TV Starlets also joined the bandwagon to join the aarti of the rich and the famous Lalbaugcha Raja. Since there is heavy rush and huge serpentine queue people prefer to watch the Bappa on their TV screens.Even social media sites like YouTube show daily the live coverage of aartis of the ganesh mandals .

The major branding exercise was done through the "PUNE FESTIVAL " which was always associated by the ill famous Suresh Kalamadi. It got the Ganapati and its cultural, traditional value all over the globe. Ganesh festival also is the right time for the automobile industry to bring on the promotional activities in force to drive home the Car as SHUBH Aarambh.The white good industry also bring lots of freebies and special discounts on the occasion of Ganesh festivities.

So the Ganesh festival with its bhakti and fun filled 10 days are now also recharged by every brands who try to encash the festive atmosphere around . so all the indigenous part activities like drama, elocution and the specific record dance has lost its place to the razzmatazz show. The enjoy of watching the movie in the makeshift generated open theater has its own charm. thus the Ganesh festival has been turned over from Bhakti to Brand GANAPATI.
GANAPATI BAPPA MORYA!!!!!!!!!!!!
