KKR winning of the IPL

KKR&SRK

Now, as i write this post the celebrations in Eden Garden is going on. Mamta Banerjee , the Chief Minister of Bengal is welcoming the Knight Riders in their entrance to the "City Of Joy", Kolkata.

Bengali people are well known for being Sport lovers and for this day they have an amazing reason to celebrate after Kolkata Knight Riders has won the 2012 IPL.

Shah Rukh Khan who is the owner of the team at the moment is dancing on the stages where the Cup will be presented to the audience.

Kolkata which these days suffer from a non-stable economic situation has a one day relief. This fact might explain the over enthusiastic mode of the mass which want to take part in the celebrations. The spirits getting to high to be control and the situation is getting a bit chaotic and violent.
    
You could say that SRK stole some of the fame and glory meant for the players themselves but one must admit that SRK was totally committed  to the success of the team all along the way. He has contributed so much to the Cricket sport in India apart of his commitment for the Knight Riders.

Black Clouds over The Cricket skys

Yuvraj Singh 

Black clouds are floating above the Indian Cricket. Black clouds loaded with heavy rain ready to wash out the dirt that has been brutally entered  into the Indian Cricket aiming to demolish all those beauty things it represents. Just few weeks ago we all were witnessing one of the most incredible and heroic fights that a man can actually face with i.e fighting cancer. The last Mohican, on the cricket figures that is Yuvraj singh has exhibited all the qualities we’d expected from Sportsman to have.  It was an extraordinary example for a man who Overcoming  his darkest fears. It was a one man performance  of a man who never surrendered to  the fatigue enfolded in the illness which constantly ambush ,waiting for a tiny crack in optimism.

Yuvarj Singh showed us what a strength is all about – This is a cricketer!
Lately, we have started running after our tail –from one controversy straight to the other…
All of them manifest exactly the opposite of those qualities Yuvarj Singh had demonstrated in the most important challenge in his life! People selling games – comman (I’m getting pissed of here cos Yuvraj singh’s images running through my mind while I’m writing these lines)!!!

Those guys are Spitting all over the dignity sports Man must manifest as an example for others.
Not to mention the impact it has on all of us cricket fans now can’t anymore trust nothing!
Tomorrow the playoffs begin but who can guarantee that teams which qualified there truly got coz the effort and talents. The only image I can see in my mind now is some dark alley where men hiding their faces exchanging money from hand to hand some showings and threats followed by load laughs and then quiet again..in the alley. The day somebody “happens” to miss a shot right at the crucial moment of the match- wasn’t it something we saw often this IPL season?

You can accuse me of being paranoid but being paranoid doesn’t say that I’m wrong. I don’t want to make idealization to Yuvraj Singh but could you imagine him there on that alley?
Another black cloud floating over our cricket sky is the in the shape of Cricketers hanging out, parting swimming in alcohol pools and drugs without being judgmental it is just won’t appropriate  for sports man to keep this kind of lifestyle. Am I wrong? Trust me I’m not being naive many sportsmen are getting wild at nights – well it doesn’t make it right.

If it would be end up with parting you could say – that’s their thing – no one  will accuse them for being pro’s. but to get advantage of women bu using the status and power  that’s a spitting again on the faces of those who love cricket!

Well fox…let’s end in that optimist note and wish you all GREAT PLAYOFFS- hopefully SRK won’t act his way  inside the court  and make some high volume ultra-emotional  Devadas scenes towrds the judge, police, players audience..

Cricket Drama

Again two matches got into the dramatic zone! This time it was Mumbai VS. Bangalore and Chennai VS. Kolkata. What's happening this season in the IPL? So many close matches along the entire season - did you notice that? 

The two matches last night also fell straight into the IPL Drama zone which has become a trade mark for this IPL season,

especially the game between Chennai and Kolkata whose result was unclear till the very last ball!! Who would have imagined that Dhoni's boys would beat SRK's team?? 

Also, the other match between Mumbai and Bangalore went down to the wire! There, the epic battle between Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli didn't fail to deliver high adrenaline moments - it was a true test of spectator nerves - viewing was ABSOLUTELY NOT recommended to those with weak hearts!

  

By the way - Mumbai won.

Dil Se

Dil Se 

Dil Se  is an emotional turbulence!  Do yourself a favor: DON’T MISS IT! You can compare this emotional  turbulence ( those things that sweet soul of yours is about to go through) to a nasty mountains train getting from the highest peaks to the bottom of the gallows with no mercy at all!!
Some would say this is the essence of cinema - having a film staying alive in our mind way after the the lights were turned off.

The 1988 awarded film “Dil Se” directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Shahrukh Khan, Manisha Koiralaand and Preity Zinta, was a breakthrough in all terms of Indian cinema. As soon as the film was released to the screens it was obvious that it will create a big impact on the Bollywood film industry, even though it wasn’t considered a success at the box office.

The movie is bold and deals with very sensitive issues of the Indian society and politics. It was the third in Ratnam's trilogy of terrorism films that depict human relationships against a background of Indian politics.

Almost in each cinematographic aspects the film got  awards for. Despite that Indian audience couldn’t translate the high appreciation into high earnings, but overseas – with $975,000 in the USA and £537,930 in the UK – it’s become the first Indian film to enter the top 10 in the United Kingdom box office charts.

Amarkant "Amar" Varma (Shahrukh Khan), an All-India Radio program executive living in Delhi, is dispatched to the troubled North-Eastern region of India to report from there on the situation pertaining to the approaching 50th Anniversary of Indian independence.
There, he interviews a terrorist leader on his group's motivation and ethics. He meets Meghna (Manisha Koirala) at a railway station for a tiny chat talk over a cup of tea. At that point the plot starts to get some wild twists and turns where love, distrust, fear, and passion all come together in the same pot! At this point no-one can trust anyone, although the couple still craves one another. When things start on the wrong foot they always have to get…worse! Many surprises await Amar in his awkward “relationship” with Meghna, constantly putting him at odds with everything he considers safe and familiar. It calumniates in the famous row when he whispers in her ear, "If you won't come with me, take me with you!”

Air India is grounded

The Indian Airline industry is going trough rough time, bad winds, high waves whatever you want to call this. just few months ago the crisis of Kingfisher airline company was all over the news. The company was on the edge of a bankruptcy where the well predicted scenario of pilots demandind more money, strikes, flights cancellations were all part of the festival.
Now it is Air India's turn to bring the problems of the Aviation industry in India back to the upper headlines.
it looks like there is a serious and deep problem in India with regards to India's Aviation industry which are being exposed this year.
Air India's pilots are sticking now for the second day in a row which naturally causes many flights cancellations and many upset people on the Airports. 
let's see if the Indian government will lift the glove up and realize that there is a big problem with many unpredictable consequence to sort out..


if that is not enough and you'd like to end the article with symbolic not:  Arjun Munda Jarkhand CM chopper   crashed down. Fortunately the CM and his wife Meera with all the cruet all ended up with minor injuries. 


Fasten Your Sit-belts guys:)

Aamir Khan in a new TV show

Aamir Khan on the small screen

Mr. Perfectionist – that is of course Aamir Khan – wants to reach to the common people of India and help them rebuild their lives and for that there is a new TV show called Satyamev Jayate telecast on Star Plus and DD International.

Aamir Khan has said many times that he was planning to get into TV media like many Mega stars before him did. Now, after long time Aamir Khan had to decide about which format and concept should be his first new experience on the small screen. Check out what he said when he was asked in this issue: “I was sure that if I would do something on television then it has to be different… it has to be something that will connect with the audience”.

  

Eventually  Satyamev Jayate is a talk show featuring Aamir Khan, in a brief conversation with the common man of India. The central idea of the show is to interpret to its viewers, the social issues faced by the general public.

"the truth about all of us". He is visiting the most distinct corners of India, meeting people in their ordinary life and routine where he thinks some great truth lies: "Satyamev Jayate is a window. Open it. Look out, and you might find you're looking in”. The Motto of the show is not to be afraid of looking the truth in the eye and stop keeping our heads in the sand while many injustices surround us – wherever we are – choosing to ignore them.

On the first episode Aamir talks about the killing of unborn girls, or female foeticide, an alarming and frightening reality. It involves the collusion of families, doctors and a social structure that encourages the desire for a boy child – at any cost. The result has been the death of over 3 crore unborn girls since Independence and a generation of young men, many amongst whom will find it very tough to meet a life partner.
