Oscar vs Bollywood, Tollywood

I'm sorry, i know you've probably heard this everywhere else and are trying to take a refuge from it but i just couldn't help but post this.
This is something both the other(inactive blogger) and me agree upon and constantly talk about and well, we are big time movie buffs... there i said it!! telugu and hindi movies

What i feel offended to is not by slumdog millionaire or the oscars award something that has so many flaws and as much stupid melodramatic idiocity or even the "intelligentsia" who live in their aloof world surrounded by the walls of their ego and hundreds of desperate wannabes.

What i am offended by is that "WE" make such a big deal out of it. i say this with all my pride, i love bollywood and id say tarak would say the same about tollywood. To all the critics of the world who criticize bollywood cinema and say its not up to any good, please talk about something you understand. Bollywood is not about some fictional fight which assumably took place long long time ago in a galaxy far far away and certainly not about some bloody homosexual who won an election, bollywood is about entertainment, pure, unadulterated entertainment. Of course we are defined by the phenomenal hits every year and few lesser spoken outstanding movies like Dasvidhaniya but the bigger picture is the movies like Singh is king or some other movie the critics make fun of. I agree there are truly terrible movies also made, but at the same time i know for sure, there is some construction worker out there, who earns 80Rs per day, maybe, will skip his afternoon lunch and go for watching the first day first show of the movie where maybe the hero miraculously beats up a hundred bad guys with cruel intentions, dance with the heroin, show no sex, if they do show a rape scene where the actress has her hand held till eternity till the hero comes and saves her........ etc etc, but remember one thing that guy there, will enjoy it... it is what he thinks his money is worth and you have no right what so ever to tell him that he is wrong. 
The oscars/any other such awards don't know/appreciate this. i don't blame them, your american, i understand your dumb. but what i don't like is someone from my own country going and accepting that they are right(if that someone was one or 2 i wouldn't mind but when it floods my tv and everyone is talking about it, i do mind thank you very much)

About the song, without doubt A R Rahman has made much much better songs than the one he got an oscar for and well the oscar might be injustice to his other work, but you've got to appreciate the guy for being so simple and no minding about it. 

about tollywood and more i hope tarak haleday will post later, but this topic is not closed, after further inputs i will post later

Bla bla bla speaks

Yes the objective of this blogger is to blog lesser himself and make others write something to make this blog seem really active(i am smart sometimes, arent i?)

Bla bla bla/ Ash/ Ashwathy is also a follower of this blog who does occasionally comment, in addition to being rude, sketching and mentioning the classics(Roadrash is a classic pc game, okay.)

this is what she has to say:

I was thinking.
I don't like the idea of culture messing up my private preferences.
I mean if I wanna get drunk in a pub,I don't want some fanatics bashing my head because I defied my country's culture.
I admit I get uneasy about all the culture thing when it comes to a certain level,where they tell us how we ought to talk,walk and think.I get the feeling they intrude upon my freedom and my privacy.
Culture means everything to some people.
Umm..well...not to me.I am not against it.But I don't know what's the big deal about it.
Maybe I am shallow and unwise.*shrugs* It's not as if Brahma or Jesus or Allah or anything divine or superior in any way send it down to earth straight from the heaven.It's man-made,okay?Another human being(s) created and moulded it aeons ago.
Alright,there is the artistic beautiful element about culture.It's curious and intriguing.No denying that.Maybe things would look drab without multitudes of culture around the world.I adore culture in a plane it doesn't affect an individual's right to choose.I am thinking about art forms;food,architecture,music,dance,martial arts and the sort.They are adorable,exotic.
And I umm... :D... I like the idea of a cultural museum being set up in different places where they could frame good old costumes,ornaments,wax models or paintings of art forms (though I prefer they remain eternal) so that posterity can have a look at them and say "Oh so this what a sari is!" :|.

Ayeesha Speaks

Ayeesha who has been following this blog(why even i dont know, i mean who would follow this blog , right?) has given an article to post in the blog, and well, we are in short of posts arent we, so here is Ayeesha Speaking/posting/whatever she is trying to do:


Me, sur and neh were sitting in nair's gazebo and out of no where we started talking about kids and all maa-too-re stuff. Neh said if she had a boy she'd like to name him rehman or farhan or a- i -don't- remember- something ran but sadly her parents won't like muslim names for their Grandson.

Yea... so I thought right then, not what to name my kids...coz I (sorry, WE) will decide that when the time is right, but what will life be like when our kids will be with us.
And I had an ear to ear smile sketched on my face which was already painted in the colors of happiness.


I know I'll be a good mom.


Just then I took a sneak peek into the future and saw me and my lil girl sitting and throwing balloons filled with paints on a huge canvas set against the wall.
Yes, You heard that right...we were not doing homework!

I know I'll teach my kids things no school can teach them
I know I'll spend time with them
I know I'll not ask them to not have too many friends(something my 'mom' remind me every weekday)
I know I'll make them whatever they want to be

I 'll teach them how to play the piano and listen to Mozart before they think "Anu malik" made/makes music

I know I'll go cycling with 'em
I know I'll tell 'em to cook their old folks dinner once a month
I know I wont tell 'em what grades I got at school or how many hours a day did I put into my books or how I got no pocket money or how I was at sainik school(I am not:P) and washed my clothes myself(I, again, don't!)
I know I'll help 'em pick up reading and if they don't like reading I'll make 'em see some nice Indian cinema (the best movies are made here people. I say this after I dont watch ANY movies)
I know I'll teach 'em how to appreciate art and life .
I know I'll take 'em to the local orphanage once a month(I have never been there with my parents)
I know I'll not ask 'em why don't they get top grades at school.
I know I'll never stop 'em from eating loads of chocolate[erm...maybe I'll]
I know I'll let 'em be themselves...
And I promise I'll never tell 'em to be like me!


I hope I'll be a good mom.

Blogs

As indicated in my previous post, someone got me thinking about blogs in general, i mean i did think about it but was never reminded when i had time to spare unlike today... anyway......

People say blogs are the mordern day diaries. remember people used to write in diaries, some still do and they call me jobless :P. But what i really want to say is, remember how they used to secretly keep stuff on the diary, write about anything and everything, anyone and everyone, what happened so on and so forth, no matter what they used to write they used to keep it safely, outside from the world, especially from younger or elder(mostly younger)siblings. Now if the blog was the same thing, are people actually now interested in sharing their diary with the entire world just a click away, either people are changing in their outlook for personal information(PI) or it is just the trend that is so horribly wrong and changing that it has caused a lot of problems......

Of course there are people like the forementioned lady who does have a blog and keeps it only for some people to see, esp when they live some people are far away, it is better to write a blog and let them to see whenever... atleast much more trendier than writing an email with a lot of cc's and attachments.

Jobless


Like totally jobless, its been so long with nothing to do, you keep piling up things in the stack that when you finally have some free time, you dont know if you follow FIFO or LIFO, yes stacks and queues is where the class has reached and no, i am not happy with the money.

back to the topic, the reason why i did publish this post(as classy as it may sound, you know "publish" a post) is because well, this was in the top of the stack.

Sometimes, it feels great doesn't it? Being jobless, no hassles, no worries, nothing to do, no one to bug, no one bugging, you can just sit back on your sofa and do nothing...." or this is what you say when you have loads of work piled up that you think being jobless is fun. Sleep? ive slept long enough, now what? Eat? not a huge stomach to fill, finished that too. now what? aah yes blog in that stupid excuse for a blog called "showcase". add "our" to it, to make it seem more appealing and hope more people relate to it.
Uff, someone special pointed out, this blog has the intentions of being a desperate attempt of getting followers, not that it is going to happen, still, it questions your original thought, do you want a lot of people to read your blog? is it really that public? 

Who cares, im too jobless to bother, im going to close my eyes and listen to some songs, probably what you should have been doing yourselves instead of reading this stupid post in the first place, stoopid.

btw, made ya smile :P

A man walks into a bar with a cheese sandwich under his arm. "A pint of Guinness for me and the cheese sandwich," he says to the barman.

"I'm sorry, sir," replies the barman, "we don't serve food in here."



Is that not the stupidest joke you have ever heard?? now imagine someone comes online at 1.30 am to wake you up from your happy sleep and make you sign in to your account(yes it is a boring task) and then sends you this pathetic excuse for a joke!! and i thought my jokes were bad. i also thought by mistake(by blunder actually) that i was the best person to explain what is meant by justifiable homicide.
