AADINA.....


After long time, I went to Film Theater to watch a Kannada movie. It was only because of my friend who wanted to watch this particular movie called AADINAGALU. I had read the review of this movie and felt this movie must be different compared to other commercial movies. I, T and P decided to watch this movie on Sunday afternoon in movie theater Triveni.We reached majestic at around 1:15 PM and when we 3 were walking in majestic area towards the movie hall I could see lot of Kannada movies running house full and we saw huge crowds in front of all movie halls. Kannada movies are doing well now a days.

We took the tickets for AADINA…… and entered the full house hall with tickets, the movie started in no time with just 2 ads. The movie starts off with hero and heroin shooting each others and then they take back seat leaving the 1980’s Karnataka rowdies in fore front.I learnt lot of things about under-world of Karnataka through this movie and it tells who were very prominent during 1970’s and 1980’s.

The director has put lot of effort to show the 1980’s peaceful Bangalore when compared to today. During those times there was no traffic and one hardly saw crowded places. The story mainly concentrates on 2 parts, one the love story of hero and the heroin and the other on two rowdy gangs who fight tooth and nail for supremacy.

I felt love story was just added in the movie to make audience relax between the intense gang war of rowdies. Director clearly shows how under-world seed was sowed in peaceful state of Karnataka; off course he also shows the human touch of rowdies during those days.

I recommend people to watch this movie only if you are interested in seeing offbeat cinemas.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
