OMG (Oh My God) Vs Pk


God created human and then human created 'Godman', who most of the times do not act as Godly as we much we keep faith in them. So, even when we have full faith in God in our own ways and not the way it's shown by the Godmen. It should be a direct call to the creator, God and no via-media is needed ever. Is that the truth? If that is accepted then both movies OMG and Pk hit the same goal.

Faith is needed to live, to move forward and that mostly comes from within. Faith maybe is a weakness for the human being, as future always holds the mystery and past have not been quite 'happening' mostly. So, the answer is a billion dollar business of 'Faith and hope' and the middle name of that are 'Godman'. They are the inter-mediatory between us, the often troubled common people and God. There is not any dearth of worry for downfall in this business and never have any recession. This is going on for hundreds of years, as we, the people provide TRP for that. It perhaps will go on for centuries, even Pk is now the best sold movie in Bollywood monetarily and OMG sends a even stronger message to us.

While travelling to Ladakh, I saw people hanging this coloured flags(the picture above), some make small to large stone cairn. It is said that if it stands, for a long time, a wish comes true. That's what our driver 'Gorang' told me. I remember his small eyes and always with an innocent smile till now. But, maybe they are some identification marks in that barren land, as there is hardly any tree which could do the same task. Maybe.. or maybe a strong faith again, which makes 'Gorang' or me strong from within. 

Coming back to where I started from, I personally feel Pk could be a shorter movie and yet be effective for sending necessary message to people, while OMG (Oh My God) is a wonderfully done movie to me and sends a very string message in a much candid manner about God, faith and Godmen.

After a long time I went to watch this movie to a movie-hall. But was a little disappointed, which normally didn't happen in any of Aamir's earlier movies. Sorry, I am not a movie critic, nor am trying to be one, so if any of Aamir fan reading this, no offence please. This is only my personal opinion.

I was told by a friend of mine that OMG was a theatre and Paresh Rawal acted in that as well. So, acting in the movie (OMG) perhaps was only a natural movement for him. No need to mention how powerful and versatile actor he is for any role he acted till date.

Here are two of my Ladakh trip photographs. One of Aamir's icon movie, '3 idiots' inspired me to travel there. But, it was worth it! What a place!!

More soon. 

Take care.

A forgotten tale of Deeg

Image
Deeg Palace.. a forgotten tale of an Indian king. We often forget that the name of the commonly known 'Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary' is 'Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary', which comes from the Keoladeo temple (Lord Shiva) next to the watch-tower in the middle of the sanctuary. Such is the story of Deeg! How to reach Deeg Deeg is153 kms from New Delhi & 98 kms from Agra) falls within the territorial limits of the holy Braj-Bhumi. Known as ancient Dirghapura in district Bharatpur of Rajasthan, Deeg became a stronghold of the Jat rulers during 18th -19th cent AD. Deeg is deeply connected with the rise of the Jat peasants under the leadership of Rajaram (AD 1686-88), Bhajja Singh (AD 1688-98) and Chudaman (AD 1695-1721). After the death of Chudaman, Badan Singh (AD 1722-56) consolidated his authority over several districts.  Badan Singh (1722 – 56 AD) after assuming the throne consolidated the headman ship of the tribe and was the founder of the Jat hous

Missing you two!

Missing you two! A smile on your face A grin in your eyes, A hug, you said am warm always, A kiss from your unclean lips! Few minutes of a day, Walking you at the my back, tired, Those careless talk holding me tight. A laughter from you, echoes still. Those minutes have been my days, My life and a reason to live, I missed them although, but No-more I have to cry ever. Your smile has changed for me, forever, Nor do you miss me for anytime, not a minute, Your hug was not asking for the warmth, Nor the careless talk were carefree anymore. Your lips in the crowded road was dry, My mind was numb and your eyes lied, last evening. Your half truth hurt me, but will not count, I will not think why you did it, I know my love. In an awaken middle of the night, I miss you, I miss your calls, like a purpose of my life, Miss your hugs and kisses as all my efforts ever, Miss you, saying 'miss you', to lose have I all. But I have to change, as I

Media, democracy and .. Nirbhaya!

Is some light still there? It is shocking to hear and see, that a rapist of Delhi brutal gang rape victim 'Nirbhaya' not only is saying his views on rape but also the recommending probable remedy to any other rape victims; what should and should not be done at the time of or after a rape is conducted. It’s difficult to reconcile how can the journalist with a team,(who apparently is also a rape victim, as she says) go inside a jail with recording equipment to record the views of a rapists for her documentary! To me, what is more alarming and disturbing are the bold statements of two lawyers of the rapists on national televisions; one says almost the same version of the rapist said (what is still available on the internet) what a woman must or must not do for NOT being raped. Another goes a step ahead saying 'he would burn alive any woman of his family if found alone or any other man in the evening! Most surprisingly, they are proud to advocate their view
