"Bole Bachchan...Bole toh, Bol-Bachan !!" :)

“Bole Bachchan, Bol-Bachchan !!” :)…..

Hiyaa my Sweets, howz u all doing ?!….. :)

Gearing up for the ruthless Monday again I guess !!
...siigh…haa yaar….what to do….Tomorrow never comes but Monday does…every week !! :(((
Chalo koi nai…one bright side is that, once it comes, it has to eventually go….and pave way for the coming weekend !! so don’t fret guys….

Haan toh mai kahaa thi….yes !! wo kya hua ki, this weekend I managed to finally take out time to be theatre borne tagging along with my Phamily !! thank fully, we could procure tickets for this fateful movie ie Bol Bachchan……well, I say ‘thankfully’ here not because I was dyyyyyyying to see a movie of technical excellence or some classiest cinema doing the rounds….how could that be when I had heard all negative about it till then and yes, I had actually made up my mind that this movie was nothing but the tv show Comedy Circus on a larger scale, and would be even more difficult to jhelo for more than 2 full hrs…
…..i say thankfully because my 5 yr old sonny boy with his sis had already reached the ticket window and was Jumping up and down non stop, chanting endlessly….bol bachchan bol bachchan bol bachchan……so if I had so much as uttered the name of any other movie then, it would have been the End of my peace of mind……and true to this, he did dampen his antics a bit only when he heard his father’s voice announcing the name to the boy on the other side of the window…and it was only after this that he left us at peace and ran out to jump about outside……phew….
Though it may seem so, The dilemma wasn’t over yet for us :(( because the only show for which the tickets were available was to be screened at 10.50 pm !!!!!!!!!, the last show fr the day, which would eventually end by the beginning of the other day………. :( but as we weren’t left with any choice, we did take the tickets sure enuf that the kids would be very sleepy just after a few mins and then we would go home, not having to endure the whole farce…..
Okay…so at the fateful time, we entered the hall and to tell u the truth I was scared, entering a hall so late at night expecting an eerie atmosphere inside with a bare minimum humans, which would dwindle progressively…..

That was when I got the first Shock !!.....the hall was nearly full !!!!.....yes and we had to search for our seats with difficulty…..

Chalo bhaiya, ultimately we sat for bol bachchan with the assurance of popcorn and cds if at all it got insufferable midway. The title song began…..and I found myself having eyes only for the Big Bachchan, I hate to call him ‘Senior’ Bachchan :)….his actions his steps…..no doubt he is an Ace…..they all tried imitating those looong english speeded up sentence bits like that of the Amar Akbar Anthony, but none could come any near to the original !! :)

Amitabh Bachchan is a director’s delight, even today his demand hasn’t gone down….why, is it because he is a fine actor?....no the reason is that he Is entirely the director’s baby …..doing to perfection exactly what his director bids….not interfering atall in his job, while labouring hard for his own….e g he had sat for 8 hrs straight for the make up in Paa !!! how many would do that….thats the reason unko kabhi kaam ki kami naa hi hoti hai, naa kabhi hogi….warna ek actor kis kaam ka yadi uske paas koi kaam hi naa ho, hain jee ??!! :)

The movie went on and I started enjoying it. The songs when they came, it was hard not to shout, “ arre koi ise forward kar do bhai !!”…….

Asin !!....my God…..she was so intolerable with her overtly over acting and me-the-Best attitude dripping from her xpressions….well I used that time when she occupied the screen space to catch up my breath….
She does seem to be a lucky mascot for the movies though with her hattrick of Ghajini, Ready and Housefull-2…and now this too !! Bhagwanji ke bhi Khel niraley hai !! :/

Prachi Desai came as a fresh breeze to look at and yes acted ok too in that limited capacity that she had. Hope she gets roles in future which would harness her acting skills.

Ppl that we have sampled in Comedy Circus time and again were there doing their hammig bits as expected…eg Krushna Abhishek, VIP, etc….

The mast spicy part was Archana Pooran Singh as Zohra and Madhumati !!!!!!......her timing was perfect and I even found myself enjoying her shayari and its rendition too…..just luved her. She was actually more Likable and Lookable, than the so called S*** heroines who just took up the precious screen space only to increase the length of the movie with irrelevant song and dance sequences…. :)))

Abhishek Bachchan !!....the Real Abhishek Bachchan…no…mmm…err…the Real Abbas Ali….alias Fake Abhishek Bachchan, who is actually the Real Abhishek Bachchan !! No….i mean ….Abhi mai bolti hai, ki Abhi Abhi Baba, jo Abbas tha, aur jo Abhi bana Jo actually Abhi Baba hi tha…..Bole toh Ye Bol Bachchan se Bhagwan Bachaye, Bachcha Bachchan ke Bol aur Bachchan dono hi apni samajh ke baahar hai Baba...
….kyu maalum,
abhi dekho, Abhi Baba says that he never encashed on his Surname !!! HIS?????........who would care what his surname was, had it not been the real Bachchan surname…..meaning…..it was always He who actually survived due and due only to being lucky enuf to Be a Tag on The “Bachchan” name !!.....

Anyways maze ki baat ye, ki it took a Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn and a Rohit Shetty Film to actually bring out some Bol Bachchan from the Bachcha Bachchan and Revive his very Name, which was very nearly gone from everyones mind……
Bole toh, ab kam se kam ‘Abhishek Bachchan’, ye naam is movie ki wajah se kuchh din logo ke zehen mey rahega !! :))

And you know how pathetic and sorry situation it is,…..it took him many weeks to learn this kind of comedy !! hadd hai yaar…..bole toh in janaab ko shaayad comedy circus mey bhi entry nahi milegi !!...siigh….Bhagwan karein he learns from this experience !! :/

Bol Bahchcan was a typical Rohit Shetty movie, his style all over it, and which actually Banked on Ajay Devgn !! :)…..yes, his effortless straight faced comedy and yes again the non sense English sentences did get us in splits more often than not. It was a mindless comedy alright, but if it gets a whole hall laughing out loud, in the middle of the night, kids and adults alike, then I think its worth it. :)

The sorry part here was that for the sake of ethics and paying their respects to the 1970s Golmaal, Rohit got the copyright issue sorted…..but this went against him as it now gave a general picture that it’s a remake of Golmal or inevitably  getting compared to the original one and unfortunately the critics wont find the clean, technically right and by the book comedy here as expected from a remake. Well it wasn’t supposed to be a remake at all…it was a typical Rohit Shetty flick, and only the idea was taken from the original….but chalta hai…. :)

Ajay is very clear in his mind as to the basics…
When asked about song and dance not being his strong points, he said, “you are either comfortable in everything or nothing is comfortable. It’s the way you look at things. Everyday u need to think whether u’ll be able to perform or not…and this is what keeps u going,”

When asked whether he thinks he has finally tapped the nerve of commercial cinema, he says,
“I don’t think so…the day I do, I’ll stop giving flops….we try to figure out what the audience wants. The bottom line is, today the audience pays around 250-300 bucks on a movie ticket and they want to get entertained. They don’t want to be educated on class cinema. Entertainment could be action, romance comedy, anything but it has to be there.”
well…well said haan… :)
Speaking of action, there was ample Rohit Shetty action, with the hero playing frizbee with humans and cars blown up high…. :)

When asked about his take on ppl calling all the movies crossing the 100 cr mark as foolish, he says,
“I think it’s a case of sour grapes. Ppl who cant achieve this benchmark themselves will say this wasn’t the right cinema. You cant wrong the audience. If ur film has done 100 cr business, means atleast 50 cr have watched it. So do they mean all these ppl are foolish ? who are u making the films for then?? If u are making films for the audience you need to give them what they want, else just make movies fr urself and watch alone at home…”
Hmm…baat mey dum toh hai bhai !! :)

Aur pata hai kya when the film ended, it was not a sleepy sloppy audience coming out of the hall…it was a Crisp, Chirpy, Active, Happy and Live audience that came out…….. :)

Toh bhaiya, whole thing is that in this era of movies swarming the place with dirty themes and languages [ I recently read a film in the making called, “Phattu Saala”, now whats this ??], at least this is a movie that u can watch and enjoy comfortably with family and kids…..don’t look for sensibilities, just enjoy :)
….and for those who find it difficult to do so, then my sincere advice is to catch hold of any kid or kids u chance upon around u, take them along and have a watch…they’ll teach u how to enjoy. :)…..

So try it……aur fir mujhe bataana…. :)

Tab tak ke liye aagya dijiye !!

Bye bye-gud nite-see yaa…..till we meet again !! :)

Nin hao !!! :)

Nin Hao !!!!! :)

Bole toh “Hello” !! in Chinese !!! :)….

Shanghai - Made in China !!....ye purana wala tha….
Shanghai - Made in India !!.....ye naya wala tha !!...aur ab
Shanghai - Made in Bollywud !!...ye Page-3 wala hai !! :)

And it’ll be released for ‘public use’ on 8th June !! :)

Now as the name suggests, it’s a ‘League se hatkar’movie !!
….arre bhai, ab India mey Shanghai ki baat hogi toh wo unconventional toh hogi hi naa….nai kyaa !! :)

Yes it actually is a Dibakar Banerjee movie. Dibakar Banerjee, of Khosla ka Ghosla and Love Sex aur Dhokha fame, that got him both Critical and Commercial acclaim, is back in the limelight with this much awaited [much awaited ??!! well I hadn’t heard of it before….] political thriller, having a gritty plot with a definite central idea. The movie will be screened at the IIFA Rocks.

The story revolves around politics and how it impacts common man. Its based on the novel “Z” by Vassilis Vassilikos [kassam se, I am not in the know what that is !! :)]

That’s not all….there are other things to its credit….like the star cast…

Abhay Deol…Wooh !! :)
He plays a No Nonsense, Powerful and Egoistic Tamil IAS officer to Perfection. Ab maze ki baat ye, ki wen Abhay was approached for this role, he says he was Scared !! Scared ??!!....yes, he says, he tried to persuade Dibakar to make his character that of some Punjabi Arya samaji [!!! :)))] that he cud do casually and with ease !! but his request wasn’t granted, and then he took it as a challenge and started looking out for someone who could teach him the accent !! and thus, a writer called Madi taught him the accent….the real one…[wow, that’s gud, at last we’ll see something substantial…more than just’yanna rascala’] :)

The exclusivity of this character is that ppl will be kept guessing whether it is a Positive or a Negative one….we can convincingly see whatever side we want to ie….so the character is a tricky one with many layers in the film !!…..grt !!

Now Abhay shares screen space with none other than Emraan Hashmi !!!!...and if there was some dissatisfaction about him being a no-personality-creature….heres what we have….in the movie he plays a local street goon Joginder Parmar, who’s a Porn film-maker [tch tch….there we go again…] and that too the paan stained teeth on that face of his flash all over the screen….://////

Ab yahaa tak toh theek hai, but the surprising thing is that everyone is raving about his ‘Brilliant’ performance in the flick !!! aur toh aur, they say, that it might turn out to be too intelligent for Emran Hashmi fans who generally come to see him in his usual………
Even Abhay says, “he is an underrated actor like me [:)]… and we haven’t received the success that we deserve…He [Emran ie] has acted brilliantly in the film and if somebody says he has surpassed me, I wont feel bad or jealous !!” hain ??!!….some modesty haan ??!! :)…..

Kalki Koechlin plays Shalini, a college pass-out going through some traumatic phase in her life….and as expected of her, she performs fabulously…

The Bengali  star Prasenjit Chatterjee, son of our yester years’ hero Biswajit who competed with the heroines in… ‘uski lipstick meri lipstick se zyada red kaise ??!!’ :)))…. [ andar ki baat batau, this star son has been divorced twice and his current wife is sm Arpita Pal from 2002 to present !!!…kya pataa iska number kab aayega ?!! :))] anyways he too its said, has acted very well as a social activist Dr Ahemdi….

Interestingly Dibakar has included one Item-Song too…[hmmm…not so league-se-hatkar then haan !!]…that’s “Imported Kamariya !!!!!!!” :)……he says this song holds a lotttt of relevance in the film [achchha !! wo kaise bhalaa ??!!] :)))…..it talks about the close connection between Politics and Bollywud !![haan wo toh hai !!]…..politicians know that Bollywud draws crowd…and as is obvious, they want to be where the crowd is [toh isme kaun si nayi baat hai??!!]…so they call India’s Top-rated [Rated ???!! :)))] actor Tina Ray to the small town to celebrate the new progressive India !!!...????.... “New Progressive India ??!!, by “Imported Kamariya ??!! ye toh too much ho gayaa bhai !!! :)))…

In a nut shell, the movie is a crisp, engaging thriller, with mind blowing performances….
So folks, we have to wait and see if a Brilliant Movie like this is lapped up by the box-office or not….

Shanghai Talks…Shanghai Shocks…and Shanghai Rocks !!!!....:)

….Kitna ??!!!....

ye dekhenge, 8 June ko………

….HuM-LoG !!!! :)…

Abhi ke liye its Gud Nite, Shubh Ratri, Shabba Khair !!! frm Page-3….

SMJ-4

SMJ-4

I feel sad…dejected…as I write this.

I need to clarify this at the very outset that I Am Not going to Justify any wrong doing here…..

Imagine us Doctors….we sat there viewing the whole episode, that in the end somehow brought everyone of us Medical professionals, into the witness box….and we were made to feel guilty....all of us…of acts that we may not have done at all….

If I get a Labour [delivery] call now, I’ll rush to the hospital and try to do the best I can for the mother and her baby….and what would I feel if the patient or the attendants ask me,
“ma’am  are u sure u need to get all these investigations done”,
OR
 “are u sure u are doing the right thing not doing a Caesarean on my patient”,
Or
“are u sure u Do need to do a Caesarean ??!!”……………

How will I convince my patient who needs a Hysterectomy, but after having watched smj, is totally uncertain and has lost all faith in a Doctor !! how miserable she’d be…..bcoz after all, a Patient-Doctor relationship is based only and only on Mutual Faith !!.....

I ask myself, “Is it all really worth it ??!!!........every moment, walking a tight-rope ??!!”
Why do I care ??”.....

But ironically, I Do…….

And inspite of everything, I’ll collect myself and try to do whatever best I can so that she leaves my Chamber and Hospital with a smile on her face………….

Smj Has Reach now…..it should use this power very very properly….generalizing anything might do more Harm than Help at times……..

Kahi aisa naa ho, that whatever shreds of Faith are remaining, of a patient on the doctor, go to shambles now……

Kahi aisa naa ho, that now if someone gets a pain-abdomen, due to lack faith, he suffers more of psychological stress than the physical ailment itself….

Kahi aisa naa ho, that because of the negativities, the ppl who are willing to, and are doing good get discouraged….this will be an irreversible blunder…..

Yes, Doctors are the Intelligent Lot…fine…and hence, as he said they can then employ very many ways and means to earn money…..then why don’t they go for easier methods….why do they slog all their lives…..always having to cope up with everyone around…..authorities, patients, staff….yes, even the lower most ones…..and to get what….perennial dissatisfaction from the family for not being able to be there with them as much as they should ??!!.......
…….sochne wali baat hai…..

Zaraa si Gandagi bhi safed chaadar par ujaagar ho jaati hai…..wahin ek pehle se mailey kapde par toh kitna bhi keechad uchhalo, uska kuchh nahi bigadta !!! such is the situation of us in this profession…..

And again I would like to say that because doctors are the more Decent and Read ppl of the lot, they tend to keep mum to maintain the decorum of their personality, not stooping low to place their stand…..and go on with their work as Health Care professionals taking everything in their stride quietly and politely……

How can we justify the increasing abusive behavior and man handling of doctors that’s on a high now…..
And still it is so ridiculous that We are the ones, expected to behave Sanely in a Saintly manner !!....

Now a little bit about Hysterectomy…..

Again, I don’t say that any surgery done when not indicated is right, yet I just want to bring some points in Light here…..

…the biggest culprit is our society and its roodhiwaadi orthodox customs. Most of you will agree that even in our homes, a woman is kept Isolated for those days when she is in her periods….exceptions in metros might be there, but mostly the scenario is such that during those days she’s kept away from Kitchen work and because then the work comes onto the MIL etc, or sometimes on husband, the days are really Broadcast…when everyone in the family and neighbors etc too come to know when and for how many days the woman was menstruating….and that’s not all, every single day that goes beyond 5 days is taken against her every month…..
At long last even if she is having just spotting but her periods last for 7-8 days she is taken to the gynaec….and when asked, “kya takleef hai?”, she says….. “mera mahina bigad gayaa hai !!!!!”……now they want a treatment that she should menstruate the way they want,
… in the quantity that they want,
….and for the duration too that they want !!
.....is this possible???,
 and then anything deviating from their wants is taken as a dreadful disease and the pt is labeled that….“iski bachchaadaani kharaab ho gayi hai”…..
…..and then they ask….is there any permanent solution other than surgery?....
…..when you say No…..thats it….that becomes the last nail on the coffin…..and then the family is bound to get that poor uterus out by hook or by crook……

Now God forbid, if a pt has an erosion, or a small innocent fibroid, the gynaec has to report that…..and the next question that pops up is……will it go completely with medicines??..... the course that it’ll take is not clearcut or predictable…..hence again….they want surgery….

The reproductive age of a woman is going on increasing with Menarche earlier and Menopause much later, periods of amenorrhoea very less because of less no of children , compared to the olden days when most of the time the women were either pregnant or in lactational amenorrhoea…..hence more the number of periods…..and the deviations too….

Life expectancy has been increasing hence is the risk of disease….

Lap Tubectomies….LTTs ie…done in huge numbers in Camps lead to seeding of infections due to poor sterilization, catering to such large amounts at a time….in turn more of intractable PID cases…..

STDs are going on increasing with Polygamous practices….

Level of Threshold from clinicians is lowering due to Demand Of Safe and Permanent treatment options…..

Zaraa sochiye….is it just the doctors responsible for hysterectomies of a whole village ?? we are talking about a major surgery here....it takes no less than God to convince so many ppl with only wrong intention…
…..if only doctors could do that, then the VT programs would have been a grand success too….

So my appeal is…Beware…Before its too late……

There is Good, AND There is Bad !! its neither Only Gud, nor Only Bad….

May Discrimination Power prevail……………………

…..Satyameva jayate…………..

Cricket and Cars ??!! :)

Hiyaa all !!

“What words beget Boys’ undivided attention ??!!”.......

Chalo lets leave that question for a while…..
Pata hai kya…..i was just jumping through the channels with my remote…. When suddenly something Red, Very Rich Red crossed by……I switched back to that channel where it was….and I stuck there.…. :)

As is obvious, it was one movie promo….the frst face that I glanced on was of Sharman Joshi and a Red-Red FERRARI !!!!....yes a real one !! :)
I went on……What was this ?!!....

……onto the Khoj-been about it !!

…and here’s what revealed itself…
The movie is

 “Ferrari ki Sawaari !!”:)

….and before I could think that it was some mediocre comedy, it crashed on me that it was a Vidhu Vinod Chopra Movie !! well well, I was all smiles !! :)
It is directed by Rajesh Mapuskar !! now who’s he ?!!......to rest ur discomfort, he is Rajkumar Hirani’s assistant, and this movie is his brain-child, wherein Sharman is Debuting as the Lead Actor !! :)

Its not some uproarious hahahuhu comedy, but a combo of sentiments, emotions, drama, and situational comedy….
To add to it, Pritam’s Music is Guddam-gud !! :)

The Ferrari shown in it is a Real one, and that too none other than the one owned by Master Blaster, Sachin himself, that he sold/gifted [I know not]….to his entrepreneur friend Jayesh Desai…who in turn wanted it for his niece !!! Niece ??!!!!.....kyaa yaar, aisaa bhi hota hai…hain jee….humko to real Ferrari dekhne ya real mey touch karne ko nai milne ki aur ye janaab, “Niece” ko Gift kar rahe hain !!!!! Waah re Uparwale…Ajab teri Dunia aur Gajab tere Khel !!!!....siiiiigh !!.... :)

Now this remains to be seen whether the Little Master’s gonna be playing a comeo in it or not….becoz the Car is actually playing its Real Life Character of “Sachin Tendulkar’s Ferrari” !!! :)

Ek aur “Aakarshan” hai is movie mey….Vidya Balan !!!!!!.......aur dil thaam ke suniye….she’s doing an ‘Item number’ ….. “Malaa Jau De !!”:)
Word is doing the rounds that it has been shot perfectly too…
Par ek baat bolu…..i have my doubts…..
I saw the song…..and saw the not-so-thin Vidya doing Laawni in a somewhat slow number, replaying all….yes, ALL her overtly coquettish gestures and expressions. Now it remains to be seen whether the ‘Dirt’ will work for her all over again….
And that too when the Ferrari goes on flaunting itself all through the movie… !! :))))

It’s a heart warming story of small guys with their Big dreams…
Aur, ek baat to satya hai, that releasing on 15th June, ….with Sharman, Boman Irani and THE Ferrari…..it sure gonna be a joyride !!...... :)

Coming back to my question,

“What words beget Boys’ undivided attention ??!!.......

Among many things they are, “Cars and Cricket !!!” :)
…..and that’s what this movie is all about !!! :)

So get-set and…vVVVRRRRrrooooooom………….. :)

SMJ-2

Episode-2, “Satyamev Jayate !!”…

Switched on the TV for the second episode, with crossed fingers.
No, I wasn’t in the least on to finding flaws or loop holes….not at all…any attempt at anything society-friendly, was good enough for me.

So, I was plain simple anxious, because I wanted it to go on……
The episode ended….and I was sitting there….with tearfilled eyes….but with a big Smile !!...feeling, only - Relief !!!!..... :)

I wasn’t at all concerned what any other person might think, but had made my own standards that I wished it would fulfill in the subsequent episodes….and it Had in this one…!! :)

To say the least, this Sunday morning hasn’t been generous to me…my son was running 103*F temp….my hubbs, a busy surgeon was about to go to the hospital….and I had some how managed to sit in front of TV at 11 am. Hubby dearest, inspite of being in a great big hurry, sat with me, and the moment we saw the kids in there, about to be instructed, he got up and brought the dull feverish child from the bedroom and placed him gently on my lap so that my son could also see first hand, what was being told. And surprisingly, he understood too….

Just few minutes back I myself had a one-to-one conversation with my kids…..about the issue, and they gladly employed me and their papa as their “Bodyguards” !! :)

At least I am in no risk of forgetting the child helpline no-1098, nor are my Kids !! :)

I was amazed at the ease in which such a difficult thing was explained to the most difficult audience….viz, KIDS !!....

Aamir had done it again….with Finesse, Ease, Conviction and to Perfection !!....not to forget, being Entertaining as well !! :)

He had done the relevant homework, and yet again….
Did have an answer…again having at least something solid that each and everyone in the audience could do…to contribute….

He Is making a Difference….
Social Reforms may not come in a day, But they are Underway with this show….involving each and every person alike…..

Every Genuine effort should be appreciated, however irregular, however incomplete, however small it may seem to some of us…..IF it is headed in the right direction !!...and this Show Sure Is…….
I for one, got another message loud and clear.……if you do believe in something….go ahead with it…..If it has to do any good, It will !!!...

Gradually we had started losing faith in the words “Satyamev Jayate”….which were slowly becoming just words…..
But now I am confident, the Meaning will Not be Lost !!!

Thinking aloud...: Satyamev-Jayate...?!!

Thinking aloud...: Satyamev-Jayate...?!!: hello ppl !! “Satyamev-Jayate !!”……“Truth alone prevails !!” Is it that simple ? no, it isn’t. In the era of Ramayana, there was this...

Satyamev-Jayate...?!!

hello ppl !!

“Satyamev-Jayate !!”……“Truth alone prevails !!”

Is it that simple ? no, it isn’t.

In the era of Ramayana, there was this plain simple truth, with no adulteration….

but later, in Mahabharata…..was it the same ? no….it wasn’t….for making the truth finally prevail, lots and lots of calculations, manipulations, went underway…..

So, its not just saying, truth alone prevails…making it happen has much more to it…..

First requisite, is to understand the problem, the gravity and depth of it…

And then the ways and means to make it happen. Wo kehte hain naa….saam-daam-dand-bhed !!



Promotional ads started showing about this reality show hosted by Aamir Khan by the name of Satyameva Jayate….to be telecast at the Sunday prime time slot 11 am…the same that was allotted to Ramayana and later Mahabharata.

The way he talked in the ads was ok, but I just felt a tinge of ‘attitude’ in it. Any and everywhere it was about the show….the moment my laptop’s homepage came to life, there was this big ad filling half of it….the channel’s logo at the top of my tv screen had the head of Aamir on it all along…everywhere….



The rapport of being a perfectionist, fine, so it has to be a show with a difference alright for the sole reason that it was Aamir Khan’s baby, but considering the huge propaganda, I had only “huh, it remains to be seen whether the hype is worth it” for it….and obviously, was curious too…….



I missed out seeing it in the morning, but luckily got the repeat telecast at night and thankfully from the beginning. He was walking on the beach talking to us. Yes he was talking to us….this is not so with everyone. The art of communicating, of conversing with one and all, is rare, more so convincingly being honest and sincere…



……….and then it all started, started hammering down, one after the other….shocking everyone…!!!



When any two people start a conversation, they being two very different and discrete individuals, there are bound to be differences in opinions. Then how did this miracle happen ?!! that innumerable people stayed sort of hypnotized for those 90 minutes All Over The World !!!!!!!!

they were feeling what he wanted them to feel, crying when he knew they would, reacting the way he wanted them to, how is it that in the end every one was actually restless to do something substantial for the issue…now this every one comprises of such vast variety of people….



Because he had actually become “Them”, feeling the pain they felt, the frustration that they felt, touched their souls…..and as a bonus, having a solution too, moving one step ahead when they had seemingly laid down their arms…..surrendered….



It was  a Phenomenon…..that he made to happen…to every Indian….



Now people who want to criticize are saying, whether he’d be able to sustain the magic in the episodes to follow, whether the other 12 issues would be as significant, etc etc etc…..

I find it so ridiculous !! and this does go on to prove that even if u want to do gud for others, with no selfish reasons, u have to be prepared for enduring their criticisms as a side effect.



Now the problem…want to add my own opinion for that. Lets see an analogous situation…imagine someone keeping the doors and windows open and inviting the thief actually over a cup of tea to get the theft done in his house, how can then any amount of police or judiciary stop it ??? its all a matter of demand and supply….bad ppl are there everywhere, in every profession. Punishment to a meager number is not the  solution at all. We need to have a comprehensive approach.



Apart from the solution suggested in the show, what we need is,

-in the situation mentioned above, make the Property so Big and Precious that keeping it would become more profitable to the house owner than losing it to the thief….

For this we should make the privileges so many for the parents of a grl child, that having a daughter shud give them an equal stature in society as those boasting of having a son…eg…railway and flight tickets fees everywhere, shud hav significant concessions for girls, parents of first girl child and even more for parents of second girl…etc

I am dealing with pregnancy and childbirth first hand and believe me, programs like Ladli Lakshmi do work and make the having of a grl child not so disheartening….such programs can be increased…

And Govt Can do it….u will hardly find a pregnant woman, however remote village she resides in, to have had at least 2 doses of tetanus toxoid injections…..if this is possible, that can be too….



-half of the salary of a husband should automatically go to the account of his wife, whether she stays in sasural or mayka…and the husb shouldn’t be able to get divorce and remarry till she herself says that in writing…so that the grl’s parents are allayed of their fears about their daughters after marriage….



-educating the girls is of Utmost importance, making them self reliant, and independent… to take care of themselves….



-the difference between a boy and a girl should end….1 or 2 kids, that’s all. This can come only through awareness…..when a girl conceives and goes through the whole gestation period and finally delivers, she luves her “Child” whoever it is….its actually the attitude of her family, and relatives which makes her feel guilty if it’s a grl and proud if it’s a boy….



We need to spread this awareness in whatever domain we work in….from the moment we come out of our house, whatever human being we meet, whether our family, friends, staff or patients or their relatives, acquaintances etc….we shud give this message to each one of them… because, Yes we are a stronger Jadoo Ki Chhadi, our reach is much more….and we reach the hearts easier……



It may take some time for a Woman to luv her kind…..but it wont be Forever !!!.....


so lemme quote here...
Ho gayi hai peer parbat see pighalni chaahiye,

Is Himalay se koi Ganga nikalni chahiye…



Aaj ye Deewar Pardon ki tarah hilne lagi,

Shart lekin thi ki ye Buniyaad hilni chahiye…



Har Sadak par Har Gali me Har Nagar Har Gaanv mein,

Haath lehrate hue har Laash chalni chahiye…



Sirf Hungama khada karna mera maksad nahi,

Saari koshish hai ke ye Soorat Badalni Chahiye…



Mere Seene me nahi toh tere seene mey sahi,

Ho kahin bhi Aag, lekin Aag jalni chahiye……

Ho kahin bhi Aag, lekin Aag jalni Chahiye….....-poem by Dushyant Kumar
