Weather forecast

Never paid attention to cyclonic warnings and such stuff in my life, but this time, it dragged attention because couldnt move around much and was cramped for doing work and moving around. So, googled on the Indian met dept and got this image which shows the situation, this is really baffling. No wonder, 28 deaths have been reported in TamilNadu since this whole cyclone terror began on Tuesday 25.11.08

A film

Well, its not like it appears in a sentence "I watched a film", neither is it the sarcastic way of telling that I watched "a" film, it was "the" film or something like that. In a way it was, but I am really referring to the name of the film "A" in a most unusual language (and my favorite) , I bet the first thought would be that its a hollywood blue film or some french/spanish masala. But, seriously this film is a kannada film and my inner true fan following for Upendra (the actor cum director)led me to this post.

From any kannadigas point of view, the moment one utters a word about Upendra, thats it, people start getting hallucinations, feel instant jitters and write him off as a confusing "real star". In fact, even Upendra doesnt expect his audience to fully understand the movie, one of the rare specialities, and the talent he shows in the movies is simply out of this world, nobody can imagine. I seriously recommend people to watch his movies with subtitles. Although, there is nothing to beat the real dialogues in Kannada.

Coming to this movie, it is quite old and his debut movie. It is not expected to be understood and I will attempt to give some insight for easier understanding.

Well, its a film for all of us which contains a film inside a film. We all know about the concept of a film inside a film like for example say Om shanti Om. But, imagine a double decker of that!!
The best part is that it deals with all issues related to the common man, which gives me the best reason to follow Upendra. In the opening scenes itself, he acts like a retard and goes on to become God!, Not to mention the dialogues, wow! Amazing!, stupendous! (like Himesh puts it in Saregama)

As I said, its not expected to be understood. Only hope to watch more of such movies, already watched Raktha kanneeru, which is again marvellous. I must thank IIT's Lan system and the genius behind it. This post certainly is in a way dedicated partially to the genius apart from the man "Upendra"

Back on Track(aray)

Certainly there has to be something like 'inertia' which controls human mind and bodies. A gap of 15 days since the last blog just proves that Newton was a great scientist even though some of his theories are found to be irrelevant in quantum terms.
Moving on from science to politics, the new trend bundled in an old school thought 'divide and rule' is being followed by none other than Thakeray uncle who is very happy with the support of Maratha manoos and since people can't do anything with manoos nearby, dislikers protest in their own state. Trains in Bihar burned with the fury of the angry mob who can't stand the size of Raj T.
Some say, he is a mole of the mountain or a "baccha" of politics, but his charisma and the support he has managed to gather is laudable. These things say a completely different story and the fact that even the police had to resort to tactics to keep him in jail, speak volumes about the matured and new "teenager" or youth of politics who can't be undermined.
Whether he is a hero, or the villian, at this point is irrelevant. For now, he is the hero in Maharashtra and villian elsewhere. At times, one has to respect even enemies for their greatness and learn from them. Only hope that he doesnt end up implementing a 'visa' scheme for all outsiders who wish to enter Maharashtra.
