 Ragasiya

Real VS Bayern

Last night Real Madrid lost to Bayren Minchin 1:2. 

Maybe next week they will lose again in the Santigo Bernabeu.  

This line is a metaphor for the first line of Alber Kami’s masterpiece “The Stranger”. The dark book is reflecting my dark feelings when I think of Real’s last night performance.  

What is the point of playing football? I’ve asked myself last night after the game. 

Real Madrid Vs. Bayren 

What is the point of supporting Real Madrid, if they are playing football without the “spirit” – you know… the winning spirit?

 Yep, I got myself into the existential mode after the game, namely so many question came to my mind starting with:” WHAT IS THE POINT?”

Before I have decided to stop supporting Real Madrid Club permanently and to move on to another team (You know i'm joking right?)  few moments of glory, came to my mind -all from from the history of the club. 

 Moments that symbolized the “being winners no matter what!” spirit. Moments that this club is so proud at.

Exactly the same spirit that we could hear out of Raul after the lost 5-0 to Barcelona:

"Real Will never play defensively even if we know this will lead to our defeat. We are not that kind of team!”

Where was that spirit gone last night?

We could blame Morinyo that would be the easiest option. Because its easy we’ll stick to it. As Bart Simson out it brilliantly: "if its too hard to do it... than it's just not worth it..” 

Thanks Bart  for the insight..and therefore  Morinyo  you are the one to blamed – not for the failure last night, not because the team wasn’t ready but simply cos lack of spirit!

For us the spirit is – WE ALWAYS WIN !

Answer to the riddle

The kind of sweet boy you are looking at is not other than..
Abishek Bachchcan

Who am I? 

well i hope you weren't confusing me with Kajol :)

National Security VS. Federalism

News Flash:
Several state officials attack the Central rule for reducing the power of the states.

Center VS. States

In the fight against terrorism India considers the establishment of a National Anti-Terror Agency with jurisdiction over the whole country. Many of the state leaders claim that this violates the fundamental federal structure.
The most impotent issue coming up from the recent debate is the violation of the one of the most crucial principal of the Indian constitution in terms of Federalism.
On the other hand is the terror attacks India had to face withing the last few years and the challenges a wait to the country in that regard.



Do you think that India should jeopardize the balance between Center and states for the sake of national security?
Yes – National security is more important at this time
No - not under any circumstances should India jeopardize this constitutional principal

Yuvraj Singh Speaks at the first time since he returned

Yuvraj Singh came back to India after 3 months in USA where he was receiving a medical treatment for his cancer disease. Today he has conducted his first media interview expressing his wishes to get back to the game as soon as he can. In the press conference he shared his gratitude to all the people who supported him all along the rough time he was going though.
I am so glad Yuvi is back and wishing us all to get to see him as soon as possible dressed in BLUE!

Dargah Diplomacy

Pak President Asif Ali Zardari has landed with his chopper in Ajmer heading to the Sufi Dargah after having long conversations with Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh.The  discussions were primarily focused on the terrorism issue in general and in particular about Hafiz Saeed who is alleged as the master mind of the Mumbai terror attacks. Asif Ali Zardari visit in the Daragh is being handled under very heavy security. 

The main question this visit raises is concerned to its actual potential to lead into mutual understandings and actions to fight terror in a productive and operational sense.

  

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

“Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu” was released to the big screens on Feb 2012. It is an Indian romantic comedy film with gorgeous Kareena Kapoor and stunning  Imran Khan in the key roles. The film was written and directed by Shakun Batra which holds a big credit for his sophisticated–funny-witty dialogs decorating the film top to bottom.

Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan), 26, is on his way to become a carbon copy of his parents when he suddenly loses his job as an architect in Vegas. Afraid that he has let his parents down, Rahul decides to hide the truth and find another job. When by a twist of fate, he meets Riana Braganza, a quick-witted hairstylist, who is everything he isn't.

A series of events lead them to meet on Christmas eve over a few drinks… but like always, it's never only 'few'. Following this night of debauchery, they wake up to discover that they've gotten married. What a bummer!

Now, Rahul has more than just his job loss to hide from his parents. They both decide split as soon as possible and get an appointment from the court in ten days. Over the next ten days while they wait , they have their share of arguments, moments and laughs that results in an unlikely friendship.

Will this growing friendship turn to love? Will her warmth and fearlessness give Rahul the courage to face a long-simmering confrontation with his parents? Will a marriage that started as a drunken mistake help two people find themselves?

SRK Vs. Sallu Round 2

Here is a question for you smart guys about the new order In Bollywood J :

As you all know, after the big clash between Salman and SRK Bollywood celebs had to divide into two groups (SRK’s & Salman’s).

This issue has created big problems for the poor directors who’d like very much to keep on making movies…

In order to do so, they need all the celebs to get to the same room and to check who belongs to which group. Life ain’t easy for the poor directors ha?!

But:

1.   Since the fight between SRK and Salman is still kind of fresh, no one knows among the celebs which group he or she should be belong to – you know show biz politics…  So we have deiced to mark them by hats. Salman’s group wear blue hats whereas SRK’s wear yellow hats.

2.   The problem is that they cannot communicate with each other at all! Therefore they can’t agree on any order of entrance.

3.   They don’t know who they support since it’s all so fresh, so they don't know what color hat they wear themselves – they can only see the hats on other Celebs’s heads.

4.   So, each celeb that enters the room has to decide who stand next to in order to belong to the same group as his own,  without knowing the color of his/her own hat.

5.   At the end of the day, the directors need to be able to walk into the room and see two completely separate groups in terms of hat color.

So you guys have to help the poor directors to find out which celeb belongs to which group and tell us what the celebs should do in order to get in and immediately split into two separate groups.

Answer

The first one Gets in the room and stand in the middle. The second one gets in and stand next to him.

Now the third one enters and find out one of the options:

1. Two Celebs with the same color 

2. Two different colors 

If option 1 than he/she stands next to them. 

If option 2 than he/she stand in the middle.

that will be the same rule for all of them..the answer in is the middle my friends! the true path as the Budha had said already.

So Salman and SRK pls find the middle and get together!!!

In the beging it was not easy to cast Vidhya Balan to the film, since she felt uncomfortable with the role. Although no one in the production team could have imagined the movie without the Ultra-talented actress. Eventually she got satisfied and jumped bravely in to  the deep water of such a challenging character as sleazy Silk had to offer- The rest is just History!

Girta sa jharna

Uthta sa kalmaa
Hai ishq koi
Saanson mein liptaa
Hai ishq koi
Aankhon mein dikhta
Hai ishq..

Mere dil ko…
Tu jaan se juda kar de
Yoon bas tu..
Mujhko fanaa kar de
Mera haal tu
Meri chaal tu
Bas kar de aashiqana

Ek hi tera naam hai

Tere aag mein hi jalke
Koyale se hira banke
Khwaabon se aage chalke
Hai tujhe batana

Tere waaste..
Mera ishq sufiyana
Mera ishq sufiyana

Tere waaste..

Baatein baatein karte karte
Raat kat jaayegi
Aisi raaton mein milo naa

Kya hum hain

Jahaan tu hai
Wahin sab hai
Tere lab mile
Mere lab khile
Ab door kya hai jaana

Highway On My Plate- NDTV

Rocky and Mayur have done it again! They found another TV show concept which makes us all envy them. “Highway on My Plate” is all about traveling over India when the main destinations are not those you would expect to find in some travel book but delicious restaurants, Dhabas and small market food shops. This is a culinary ride in pursuit of the incredible tastes that India has to offer.

The most beautiful part about the show is that Rocky and Mayur appreciate food even when it is not made in a fancy restaurant in the big metropolises. On the contrary, they take us to the unexpected zone! This is the surprise factor in the show: beauty can be found even when it is handed in a swamp – just like the Lotus.

On their journey we are being introduced not only to the dishes – which, by the way, are all over the screen – but also to the people who make them. It looks  like Rocky and Mayur find this very special themselves: “This is the main reason why we are doing this”, said Rocky, ”you get out all across the country meet wonderful people, you discover food, perhaps like you never ate before, and this makes it so incredible”.

We couldn’t think of a better cast to discover India’s culture via food than Rocky and Mayur. They are approaching the subject of food and cuisine with such a grace and humour that is so different from the many “dry” food shows we commonly watch on TV.

From time to time we witness some brilliant spontaneous observations they make even without noticing, such as: ”You know what Bhai, I found out that the best food in India is near the rail stations or the bus stations...” – this observation Mayur has made when he was eating and dancing in Bhoj, Gujarat, perfectly matches the poet’s famous phrase: ”heaven is for the traveler”.

Movers and Shaker On SAB

A winning Card has been pulled out of the pocket of SAB Channel Productions – Movers & Shakers. Now in the form of a late night talk show which has been hosted by actor, thespian and politician, Shekhar Suman. The show is one of the longest running talk shows on Indian television. For those of  you who are not familiar with the term, Movers & Shakers referred once  to all of those who are incredibly rich and powerful. With time the meaning of the term evolved, as in the Poem of one O'Shaughnessy:

We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;

World-losers and world-for shakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

As far as we are concerned, Shekhar Suman defined the most recent meaning of Movers & Shakers by hosting close to 500 celebrities on the show, interspersed with unique one-liners and jokes constantly made by him – the seriousness has gone; laughter is in town!

No doubt, it is Movers & Shakers which catapulted Shekhar Suman’s career to superstardom at least on the small screen, whereby he got a lot of other opportunities, such as being the celebrity judge on ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ and so on.

After the many avatars the show had gone through all over the channels, the Movers & Shakers 2012 version, completely repackaged by SAB has defined a truly real Indian talk show.

The format of Movers & Shakers is reasonably straightforward, with Shekhar Suman starting off with some witty one-liners typically about recent events. In the interim, there is an in-house band which plays music. Subsequently, there are guests from various walks of life, be it actors, politicians, sports personas, fashion designers and other individuals in the limelight who appear on the show for a lighthearted chat with Shekhar. In between, Shekhar continues to tell numerous jokes from across various aspects of life in this day and age. This is without doubt one of the major attractions of Movers & Shakers in the first place, apart from the mere presence of Shekhar Suman.

Surely, audiences across India and abroad were completely riveted by the program since they found it immensely appealing, thanks in particular to the wonderful way in which Shekhar delivers the show. It was in fact the entire production, which is truly enticing, and the same thing is being carried forward in tune with contemporary times in 2012 on SAB TV.
