BOMBAY MASSACRE, TV AND POLITICS

nov.27/7pm
channel was Z-BUSINESS..........obviously news was what we have been watching for last 3-4 days.Wt was the difference?.......
1. There was a family who making a picnic near Taj Mahal hotel. As in the word of reporter...."on one side of us, commandos were fighting against terrorists and on the other side a family was standing just like its a picnic spot(a think not one family 100s of people were there near the GROUND ZERO who were there just to see a tamasha)........are we became so resilient?"
2. That was about home ministry.........in the word of a former senior RAW member "had they even killed a single rat in the last 4.5 yrs?"
3. This terrorism is due to our POLITICAL TERRORISM.......as in the word of a senior sikh security officer........"Many terrorists are those whom we have elected"

nov. 30/8 pm show (enough is enough: ndtv24*7)
There were many filmy faces and survivors of the crisis. Some saying that still in my mind are....:
1. SIMI GREWAL was very aggressive. She was in the favor of an attack over pak.The argument was” there is no attack over USA after 9/11, why? coz those who made a mess with them got messed, this is another fact that Bush government is till date facing criticism for their manners, but no one even thought after 9/11 to attack on USA...then why can’t do it?"
2.ABHISHEK SINGHVI(congress),as show anchor barkha dutt said was the only leader who accepted to face the hostile audience sitting there.
He was condemning all things like "wt Ram Gopal Verma was doing at destroyed taj with Maharashtra chief minister........were they reached there with the purpose of terror tourism”
"why deputy CM Maharashtra was saying BADE SHEHRON MEIN AISI CHOTI BATEIN HO HI JATI HAIN"
3. At last there was a Muslim boy(i think he was from Pak)saying both nations are not in the condition to face a war".He heated the last portion of debate.
4.Ness Wadia's point:"when Pak govt. know that big terrorist faces are in Pak, why they allow them to live free and never suggested our security forces to come there and arrest all those bus*r***?"

MY POINT:
RAW had intercepted the calls of terrorists this November and they informed the coastguards and navy that those terrorist are planning to come through sea this time.
So we can’t say it failure of intelligence, they had done their work. They informed Maharashtra govt. about probable attack over Oberoi hotel and gateway of India. Then now who is the real accused?.......I will say it “INSIDE POLITICAL TERRORISM OF INDIA”.
Meanwhile today, in all party meeting, our DEAREST PM, decided to set up some federal investigation agency and to give some extra powers to NSG.......(couldn’t we think about that all before? AND WHAT WOULD BE GOVT's TIME LIMIT FOR ACHIEVE THIS ALL?)
BJP COMMANDORS (l k adwani,rajnath singh) were not in the meeting. They were busy with their election campaigning at Rajasthan.(is campaigning hell issue than security matters of country?)
MNS chief Raj Thackeray still busy in praising the martyrdom of 'Marathi' security officers.(he seems to be more dangerous than all those outsider forces for our country.)
so brothers,just b*st these all political leaders, but we can’t stay away from our system. OUR POLITICS NEED NEW AND POWERFULLY HONEST AMPLIFICATIONS!!!

emotionally indian,
param

MAGICAL SONG #1::GLOOMY SUNDAY: overture to death

Music is for eternity taken the same as the medicine for broken down hearts but sometimes remedy makes its contradictory effect. Reszo Seress, a young man of about 33 was trying to craft a living as a songwriter in Paris in the early 1930s.,but kept failing miserably.His girlfriend had a regular row with him over the insecurity of his go-getting life and always used to say him to join a 9 to 5 work. One day the couple parted after heated words exchanges over his utter failure as a composer.That day was happened to be a showery Sunday and at evening, Serees was playing his piano."what a gloomy Sunday", He said to himself and his hands started playing some melancholy that seemed to put in a nutshell his girl's departure and daunting weather.
"now tears are my Wine
and grief is my bread
each Sunday is gloomy
which fills me with death"
after half hour he was with his new composition-"gloomy Sunday".

Hungarian poet, László Jávor who was good pal of Seress superseded the two stanzas prepared by Seress.
After coming in public, Gloomy Sunday became a hit. So sad, so discouraging the song was that after hearing it once, Hungarians were driven to suicide and not just few, hundreds of suicides were committed as an attribute to the despondent melody. One of them was: one week later the song was released, Seress' girlfriend was found dead, in her apartment with a copy of sheet music of Gloomy Sunday. I am not going to tell u other stories and even not more about Seress who committed suicide in 1968.
BBC deemed it so depressing and killing that they banned it on air. after that Europe and USA also followed the same and till date ban is going on.

Translated lászló jávor lyrics
Hungarian tongue is notorious for its wealthy set of expressions. so I don't think translated lyrics would do the same, still these words are on the edge of negativity.

Most significant version that was used even by one of the well known USA singer Billie Holiday in 1942 in her song ‘Gloomy Sunday’, was not that original Hungarian one but one that is somewhat less glum than this and was made by Sam Lewis.(go for the song download at ( www.seekasong.com.) In Billie Holiday song, we listen 3 stanzas , third one was additional just to show that singer is imagining death of her lover and not her own so that effect could be made less cruel.

WHERE JULIET LIVES

At the northern part of Italy, Verona city is probably not less than a temple for the lovers of entire world. It is famous in the world by the name- LOVE CITY. The leading reason behind this is Romeo and Juliet. In the famous play Romeo and Juliet legendary William Shakespeare portrays this city. Although the Shakespeare’s story is still believed as just a flight of the imagination yet everything of this city is dedicated to Romeo and Juliet whether they are hotels, bars, perfumes or localities.
THE TRAGEDY:
Romeo and Juliet is based on real lovers of fourteenth century who lived in Verona, Italy and died for each other.Shakespeare was not first who wrote the heartbreak story founded with Verona’s background. Shakespeare's edition is a reworked copy of the Italian Giulietta-e-Romeo(Matteo Bandello).Story of Bandello was deciphered into French. It was adapted by Italian groups, some of whom performed in London at the time Shakespeare was writing his plays.But still the story is alive with the trademark name of Shakespeare.
It was 25948 words lengthy “STAR-CROSSED” lovers’ tragedy first time presented in the Elizabethan period (16th century end) and printed first time in 1597 with a name The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. 'A play dealing with tragic events and ending unhappily, esp. with the collapse of the protagonist' that's what I found in oxford dictionary as the meaning of tragedy.

Romeo Montague, a sober, sharp, sensitive young man of 16 who is in love with Rosaline(The woman with whom Romeo is infatuated at the beginning. Rosaline as is said by other characters of story is very beautiful and has sworn to live a life of chastity.),goes to some party in an afford to forget her where he meet Juliet, a girl in her 14th, and immediately falls in love(seems to be infatuation of a teenager) with her. Twist comes when he finds later that she is an Capulet, the rival family of Montague.yet they admit love for each other during the famous balcony scene and resolute to get wedded clandestinely and they carry out consequently. Unfortunately everything get worst when Mercutio, a near friend of Romeo get killed by Juliet's cousin,Tybalt.In a payback, Romeo kills Tybalt. For that,Romeo is exiled from Verona.At the same time, Couplets' are planning Juliet's marriage to Paris.Friar Laurence(the friend of both lovers and one who secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that the union might eventually bring peace to Verona) suggests the stratagem of feigning death: Juliet is to drink a potion which will make her appear to be dead for forty hours, and meanwhile he will inform Romeo, who will retrieve her from the tomb and take her with him to Mantua, where Romeo is currently staying. Unfortunately, Romeo does not receive this message on time and upon hearing of her "death" goes to Juliet's tomb where he takes poison, gives Juliet a final kiss and dies. Seeing him dead, Juliet stabs herself through the heart with a dagger.
JULIET IS ALIVE!!
Most amazing fact because of which I am unfolding this city and play is that every year post office department of Verona gets more than 6000 letters addressing Juliet.Juliet is now become the MISS LONELYHEART for the all love aficionados of the world.To give entire admiration to the letters, for the last 70 years, Juliet club is working. The only work of this club is to answer the letters addressing Juliet. Juliet's secretaries answers every letter that comes for Juliet.According to some members of club, some letters they get with a simple address –’Juliet, Verona, Italy’.On valentine's day every year, they give DEAR JULIET AWARD to the best letter sent to Juliet. Also on every 16th September they celebrates birthday of most beautiful and unfortunate heroine of the literature.
Secretaries of Juliet who do the translation of answers to these letters with the help of a team says, the heart matters have not been changing since the establishment of club. Mostly letters come about how to express the emotions to him/her, how to find Romeo/Juliet. yet one thing that everyone related to this club say-people are more unaccompanied at the present than before and now a day to express feeling for a lover is a complex thing. Because of this, they find Juliet as the last hope for all their problems to conquer. The end of story was a tragedy yet lovers think that Juliet is someone who can understand their feelings and is still alive.

quantum of solace:casino royale-2

As a movie critic, movie deserves 8 out of 10 from my side. In the whole movie  what is dominating is not only the muscular body of 007 over his consciousness but also VIRTUALLY last bond girl vesper lynd over the characters of these two new bond girls.(that’s why director put no outsize bed scenes in a 007 movie!!!) I didn’t like the commencement of the movie consisting some great  action and then an introducing song by Alicia Keys  which has not given  any impression to my mind  as compared to the title track's music of casino royale( as it is slow and for fast 007 song seekers that’s not enough.)…………..after all it’s just casino royale-2, just solving the mysteries remained undisclosed in casino royale.

There was a (super) human, having status of 007 and he felt into love with memories of his lady (vesper lynd) and so with her death (murder) mystery. He was searching for the person who took his lady to death. For that 007 goes to every level for what he is famous. During his journey he comes across a hidden organization that is wishing to have its monopoly over natural resources of some country in order to make money. After a lot of action in the air, on water,  on land and a lot of destruction all around he finally lay to rest that organization into deep crust of earth and in climax found the person behind the death of his lady.You had seen a necklace that 007 gotten from the belongings of vesper lynd after his death. That  necklace nearly is representing presence of vesper lynd in the whole movie till the last scene where 007 throws it away (means now he is out of the memories  of his lady and that’s what the big sacrifice that 007 does  for his profession.).

just go for it if you like 007 but if you are looking for some non-serious kind of stuff then never think to watch it as a gangue of about 10 friends sitting beside me felt relieved when movie ended ,i think what making them torturous about the movie was they were not concentrating over movie and just doing talking etc with each other as i do while viewing some comedy stuff.
