2nd October is an auspicious day for Indians. We are remembering our leader — the Father of the Nation–Mahatma Gandhi on this day.
I however cannot show much respect to Gandhi, his lovers dont mind. While his philosophy of Satyagraha and non-violence has earned the praise of one and all, I cant help criticising, among other things, the anti-Subhashchandra stance that he had deliberately adopted. He opposed Netaji just to maintain his supremacy in theCongress and nothing else! Nasty politics that he had played. So much so that Netaji Subhashchandra Bose had to resign from Congress and start his independent platform Forward Bloc.
While Gandhi did good in awakening the masses against the British misrule, it would not have been possible without Netaji’s continuous armed struggle for India to attain independence. I strongly feel that if we had Subhashchandra among us in 1947 India could not have been partitioned –anyway forget partition, at least if he was there after independence, India would have developed much better and much faster because Netaji is the greatest leader India has ever had.

Wisdom II – RestorationThe city was lit bright, this time by the 4th of July fireworks, red, green and fiery orange. The upside-down rock must be dark this night too, it must’ve been damp just like last time, a chilly breeze must’ve flown over it. But I will never know again because I will never go there again.

Wisdom – IThe city was lit bright. Not twinkling, a steady white glow, punctuated by flashes of the camera photographing cars jumping lights. But up here, on the upside-down rock, it was all darkness. I felt the chill as he lifted my t-shirt, but it was instantly warm when my belly touched his. Finger tips pressed against [...]
Rajneeti: The Modern Day MahabharataI will leave it for you all to find out on your own, but what I can guarantee is that, watch the movie for its brilliant editing, tight scripting without any scope for a loose thread, excellent acting by everyone and the use of the music in a brilliant sequential fashion.
Goopy And Bagha Are GoneOne part of our childhood to which he had clung so tenaciously finally came to an end when the surviving member of the Goopy Bagha duo, Tapan Chatterji passed away yesterday. He was a professional actor and had acted in many movies, but to our generation he was Goopy Gyne, the failed vocalist who with the help of a boon from the King of the Ghosts, became singer par excellence.
