USA -- Under Skirt Activities

USA, is the undisputed reigning monarch of the world. It controls most of the international organizations, some directly, some indirectly. The United States is the epicenter of trade, commerce, finance. It is the epicenter of power! It is also the most dreaded country on earth. Wondering why? Here are three of the several answers.

What exactly happened on 9/11

• 9/11 is considered as an epoch making incident in whole of America. What we know about 9/11 is that Osama Bin Laden and his accomplices hijacked some passenger planes and crashed them into the world trade centre, bringing it down. What we don’t know is that a controversy follows this incident...
• The core of the WTC (World Trade Centre) was hard columns tightly grouped columns of solid steel! The structure was so hard, that the planes couldn’t even

Gangs Of Wasseypur: Low Budget, High Entertainment!

Gangs Of Wasseypur did not spend much on the promotion. Although word of mouth made the film famous among the public. GOW is not a movie. Its a piece of art! Each and every scene, each and every frame is perfect, with a very fine attention to details. However, where the film wins your heart over with the visual, it fails to do so in the some other aspects. This offbeat film suffers from a low budget.


The story is of a man, Sardar Singh (Manoj Bajpai) who craves for revenge of his father's death from Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia). The story is displayed parallel to the important events in history, including the independence, nationalisation of firms and then their liberation. Although its not stated anywhere, I highly suspect that the film draws inspiration from a real life story. This time also, we wont reveal anything of the plot as we want you people to relish each and every twist and turn. And also there is just too much of matter crammed into 165 minutes. Which is important as the story of the second part will relate to the first.

The Great ''Quota'' System -- Part 2

Please read the Part-1 here.
As one article was not enough to criticize it enough so we had to come up with one more.


India got independence in 1947 and the constitution was formed by 26th November 1949. No, we haven’t forgotten what I am writing about. Our  point is that when the constitution was adopted, the quota for SC\ST\OBC was adopted for a period of five years. After which it was to be reviewed. However, the term conveniently kept being stretched till now; which is 63 years. With all due respect to our  backward classes’ friends, when you were expected to grow enough to handle your own expenses in 5 years, you haven’t been able to do the same in 63 years?

Also, another loop hole in this system is that if your grandparents belonged from backward class, you will get the certificate! Not considering the fact that you very well could have, and may have grown in the following years. Many people we know, owning blackberries and other high-tech cell phones, big cars, et al have authentic “backward classes’’ certificate.

Tedhi-Medhi Kahani

Teri Meri kahaani gives us a very interesting star cast with Shahid kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Alas! It does nothing to mitigate this disaster. Or shall we say, disasters? The story is basically of similar love stories spanned over three generations. 


After the classic “love story” start and classic “love story” dialogue we see a 1960’s set. Govind(Shahid Kapoor) a wannabe musician in pursuit of stardom is travelling to Mumbai and conveniently bumps into a film star Rukhsar (Priyanka Chopra). Then a love story full of complications, songs and drama  starts. The same is repeated in the 2012 and 1910 era. 


One of the disturbing things about the movie is that there is no narration or thread what so ever to tie these three stories together. We just go from 1960 to 2012 to 1910 without any reasonable explanation! Apologies as we am not revealing much of the plot because there is hardly any. We don’t want to reveal the little twists because they might make the movie watchable for you, and we don’t want to run it more!

The Great ''Quota'' System

One of the most harrowing phase of our lives, the college admission process, is finally over for most of us. I think we all unanimously agree that the most annoying element in this process was the quota system. Yes, I know that there are people who got in solely on the bases of quota, which saved them from a very grave crisis.

As we all know, reservation is on the bases of religion, domicile, castes and also for freedom fighters’ descendants. It’s amply evident that today, if you don’t belong to a religion, cast or domicile having a quota, you will not be able to pursue your dream career from your dream college. Unless, you are a scholar who gets sky high marks, which, most of us aren't.

A Sweet "Sawaari"

Vidhu Vinod Chopra didn’t provide us with too exciting trailers. One could figure that the purpose of the trailers was not to entertain but to set the plot of the film. And he succeeds. 

The films starts by introducing us the simpleton, sweeter than honey, Rustom Deboo (Sharman Joshi) and his quintessential son Kayoze Deboo (Ritvik Sahore). Rustom is a Gandhian even in this 'ghor' kalyug, thus is distinct from others.

Rustom’s father, Boman Irani, a grumpy, embittered grandfather with an unkept beard and an old man’s slouch is introduced. Kayoze, plays outstanding cricket and is believed to be destined for the Indian team. But he needs to pay exorbitantly high fees to get in a training camp conducted in lords stadium, london.

#Dhoble Tries To Do A "Shahenshah"

"Andheri raaton mein sunsaan rahon par 
Har zulm mitaane ko ek masiha nikalta hai jise log shahenshah kehate hain"


No, we aren't quoting "Shahenshah", though the above quotes are by him. This time we are quoting someone who is doing something similar, Vasant Dhoble, who has become infamous in the whole of Mumbai as a destroyer of night life. He lurks around in the dark, with a hockey stick in hand and the burdening weight of the reckless party animals on his shoulders. 

Like all the super heroes, he has some super powers of his own. He senses the trouble that is going to be created because of calamitous names like Madness, Shiro Lounge, Masala Curry. Dhoble also has a power known as ‘evacuator’! When he enters a night club, the debilitated and petrified malevolent creatures give out a cry “bhaagoo, Dhoble aaya” (Run, Dhoble’s here) and scatter around searching for cover. Some fortunate ones flee, leaving all their belongings behind and others succumb to his justice!

Shanghai: Another Political Thriller

A hard hitting Indian political thriller; which is perfectly made. The screenplay and production down to the characterization, everything is impeccable! Shanghai is an offbeat movie, beyond entertatainment.

The story is set in an Indian city of Bharat Nagar, which is riddled with riots and politics. A socialite and a teacher, Ahmedi (Prosenjit Chatterjee), is protesting against the development plan of a MNC in coalition with the government; which will cause many poor people to lose their lands. He faces harsh reactions from some of the villagers who are under the spell of the government. He is ultimately run down by a truck in a conspicuous accident.

Samsung is making a revolution and is setting a mark on screen sizes.The Galaxy Note, which was just an inch away from being a tablet has been viral in India. And now, with the next heir of the Samsung Galaxy S series Samsung is trying to achieve the same and strengthen its hold in the Indian Smartphone markets.

HIM, She Couldn't Beat..

The girl boarded the crowded bus ,

She walked, Head down, amongst the fuss ,

She sat on the "ladies" seat, lowered her sight ,

But her chin was up, posture upright
  

For having the 'Reserved' seat so lucky she felt ,

Just then her keys dropped, she knelt ,

On getting up, she saw a man staring at her,

But she kept quite, as she'll have to, forever
 

She kept quite, didn't speak ,

Because HIM, she couldn't beat.
 

She alighted from the bus, went into the house,

There she saw her god, her boss, her spouse ,

She lowered her sight again, started with the dusting ,

Just then the cloth hit the vase, dropping it, shattering!!
 

She froze. Her muscles didn't even flex,

Because she knew what was next ,

Inside she was shaking, shivering, shattering ,

Then It started, the slapping, beating, violating 

She was covered in blood, but she didn't speak ,

Cause HIM, she couldn't beat.

I Am Not Alone!

I see you in the dark night, the lonely alley,

I see you walking down the street,

I see you turn, and look at me,

I see you smile, so playfull, sweet

I see you run, I see you hide,

I see you laughing, giggling playfully!

I then see you walking by my side,

I see your hand in mine, to leave, just not ready

So when I'm walking down the street,

And no ones there with me,

I am not alone,

I am not alone,
