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!

(Image Courtesy: AKFPL Productions)
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!
