a 5 crore of disappointment..!

He is the acclaimed Mozart of India. He is our Oscar getter.A winner of two Grammy awards. He is one among the many Indians who have done pride to the country. He remains Bollywood's most sought after music director. Singers of eminence keep crowding to be part of his banner. He is instantly likable and his music lastingly satisfying.Yes he is A R Rehman and I remain one among the millions of his die hard fans.

However his performance at the 19th Commonwealth Games opening ceremony at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium at New Delhi failed to inspire. The composition and rendering of "Jeeyo Utho,Badho Jeeto" was so lackluster and uninspiring that it became a disastrous disappointment to me and I am sure to many more of his die hard fans.

This also in a way proves that our great Bollywood biggies are simply becoming arrogantly mean and money driven. Be it the big B or Sharukh Khan, pay them what they demand and they will be ready to dance on the streets of any slumdog localities where hunger and poverty remain a matter of living. For these Bollywood Brands a cause or a nation's prestige and goodwill hardly matter.They will bill the ad agency even for saying "Jai Ho".It seems AR Rehman has now joined the bandwagon of Bollywood's branded bandits. His "Swagatam" at the inaugural day of 19th Commonwealth Games proved a 5 crore of disappointment..!

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
