"The White Tiger" nominated in Oscars 2021, Not something to be proud of.

Image
  Recently, I came to know that a movie named "THE WHITE TIGER" has been nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay category in Oscars 2021 .   This movie is an adaptation of the fiction novel   by Aravind Adiga  released in 2008. Moreover also came to know that it is a mega-blockbuster on Netflix and is being critically acclaimed in the International market. Now this made me inquisitive and I switched on to Netflix to know about it. The depiction of the movie is decade-old citing the real India of 2007 which revolves around the class system, slavery, poverty, religious discrimination to name a few. Now my point is that today in the 21st century when we are embarking towards New India which has concepts of Make In India, Aatmanirbhar Bharat and empowering the poor of the poorest, what is the need to depict India on the matters that might be prevalent in some cases but not fully. At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist projects India as 2 countries in one: "An In

A paradise till I see next : GOA

                                                                                                  GO.GO.GO GOA I felt the morning bright and fresh. Undoubtedly, it was same as any other day but what made it more exciting was my trip to Goa. This is one destination in India I always wanted to visit. I remember when someone used to tell me about their Goa trips I used to envy them and just dreamt about my visit to this paradise. It wasn't that I never planned it but every time I did it got cancelled because of some reasons. My 5-day trip started with Calangute Beach being my first destination. I was spellbound after seeing the BEACH. This you can expect this from people of North India who living in landlocked areas with no beaches around them. As soon as I reached the beach, I was awestruck in just visualising the never-ending sea but had to maintain the distance from it because of the sudden high tides. I just wanted to be there for hours and visualize the waves com

"Kapoor and Sons"----- Movie Review

Image
A family that stays together, fights together and screams together is a clear depiction of "Kapoor and Sons". The family revolves around the kapoor "clan" and their daily chores of disturbances that they encounter in their daily lives. The elderly grandfather (Rishi Kapoor) is a delight to watch with his smack able performance of playing a 90 year old young adult to be precise. His in time comic act in between serious discussions is what keeps you waited for the next to happen, otherwise you would not like to wait for more. Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak play the role of a disgruntled couple who are on the verge of the end of their marriage but still remain under the same roof amidst of all the past/ present quarrels which keeps the audience clueless before intermission. Fawad Khan irresistible screen presence would want you to see him more. While Sidharth Malhotra's intense performance helps the movie to keep it going. Alia's looks lovable with her ple

It's all about TIME.............

It's all about time. What you think, you perceive, you do, you expect it to be, all is based on time. Life surrounds around time. At times you expect that things don't turn out the way you wanted it to be, may be because the time was not right. Few years when you move on and look back, you realize that what time did to you then and what it has in stored it for you now. I might sound too deep, when I talk about the things that has been surrounded by us, be it the people, the atmosphere or the things that are going in your life or our part of your life. Some will stay, while some will gradually leave, the ones that are with you might be with you till the end, but the ones who will leave you will culminate into faded memories. You can stop this vicious circle, it will always remain with you and you will keep roaming around into it. Cut it, break it but you cannot move out of it. Life and time will make you run the way it wants it to be and you will have nothing except

“ Do not underestimate the power of a Common Man.” A common man has the power to change the fortune of his realm. The same could be seen on 16 th  May 2014, when the people of the nation united and gave BJP the most incredible victory by making it one of the most historical events to be remembered.  After 1984 and for the first time in the history of the nationalist party, NDA crossed the mark of 300 and attained full majority in the Lok Sabha elections.  Lakhs of volunteers united and made mission 272+ accomplished. New strategies and plans were formed to give a new dimension of the party to the people of the nation. Right from social media team to the ground level volunteers everyone had put their sheer efforts to create a historic moment for BJP so that its name can be imprinted in nation’s history. BJP made the most remarkable victory in the recent elections and swept away the seats of its opposition as well, thus seizing away the opportunity from them to sit

Homosexuals are NOT criminals

Image
Few days back, a news channel was running a bulletin stating that SC has declared homosexuality a criminal offence. With a stunned expression, I could not believe what I heard and saw. I pinched myself, looked at the calendar realising that we don’t live in dark ages and we are soon going to bid adieu to 2013. At this time, when the world is chasing the path of progress, what made the Indian Judiciary to take this rearward action? We are all aware of the fact that rape, sexual assault and domestic violence are criminal offences but how does homosexuality adds to this list. Is falling in love with someone of the same gender a crime? C’mon, we can’t compare homosexuals with criminals. Criminals are termed for those who perform inappropriate duties like rape, loot, assault and harm and destroy the life of an individual. But in India, we have a different tale to tell, here, homosexuals are also termed as offenders who commit crime by falling in love with the person of the same se

The Iconic : Sachin Tendulkar

Sachinnnnnnnnnnn........... Sachinnnnnnnnnnnnn............aala re aala sachin aala...... the stadium roared for 24 years when Sachin stepped down on the pitch to play for the Indian Team. Yesterday was different; people shouted for Sachin but with a heavy heart as finally the GOD OF Cricket had decided to end his journey of cricket by retiring from the test matches. At the age of 16 when Sachin for the first time played against Pakistan, less did he know that he would stand strong for 24 years despite all odds and would turn out to be the youngest iconic personality in Sports and an admirer for his contemporaries and juniors. A journey which he began on 15 th November 1989 came to an end on 16 th November 2013 followed by an emotional speech which left not him but the whole nation into tears. It was hard for every cricket lover to imagine that they will not be able to spot Sachin’s name in the league and now has to imagine cricket without him. His began his spe
