Cricket. Religion in India.

Cricket. Religion in India. If Harbhajan Singh dresses up like a mythological character, he is asked to apologize-everyone’s bothered about what he is doing. If Yuvraj Singh hits six sixes in an over, he is given one crore rupees and an imported car and a man dies because of some road construction material lying unkempt. Cricket. Religion in India. This year’s Pujas were “dampened” in Bengal because ‘Dada’ (Saurav Ganguly) is going to retire after the ongoing Australia tests and of course Tata’s leaving Singur may also be considered a reason. Cricket. Religion in India. Indian sensex is fast falling but Zaheer Khan took five wickets-lets watch the highlights, why bother about the stock prices and America-might-go-into-depression news? What difference does it make to us? Cricket. Religion in India. Sreesanth is fit to dance in a reality show but not play in a match. Reason- some sort of injury and reality show was shot earlier. Public agrees. They love watching him dance- is he lying? Who cares? Cricket. Religion in India. Question of the Blog (QOTB)-Is Indian cricket team going to make it to the ICC no.2? Answer to last QOTB-Drona. No one cares. Which movie did Dhoni see last? Bachna Ae Haseeno. Everyone cares. Cricket. Religion in India.

Films

As expected, no one has replied! The answer is Kidnap. It’s a good movie, not as bad as the critics say. Question of the Blog (QOTB)-Which movie did I go for earlier? What can I say about these film critics? I remember very clearly that Race was a blockbuster hit but the critics had ruled it off! Irrespective of the reviews, the film was a hit. I know that is not the most important thing for a filmmaker, he does need “critical acclaim” but audience response is equally important. I would also like to say that though I love watching all the rom-com and action and comedy and masala films, once in a while I do like to watch some serious cinema. Like for example, Khuda Kay Liye, Aamir. I think these were brilliant films though not high income grosses. It actually makes you sit up and think and I feel the makers of these movies achieved what they set out to do. I wonder had I been in Aamir’s shoes, would I have taken the same decision of killing myself rather than a hundred others?? I still don’t know the answer. And in Khuda Kay Liye, Mariam returning to Afghanistan was a very touching decision and very believable too. But what the Maulana made Sarmat do wasn’t right. Religion doesn’t forbid us to follow our heart does it? I don’t think so; I just can’t stand these extremists and orthodox people. Such lack they have. I mean why can’t they mind their own business?? Anyways, I’ve decided something that everyday I will devote ten minutes to write in my blog and ten minutes for my diary. I can’t ignore my diary can I? What if it gets angry with me? Ya, I’m like that-I love my things as much as I love people, if not more! Laugh Out Loud! I feel they also have feelings. I mean if they are such an important part of our lives I’m sure even they have feelings. Anyways I have long exceeded my “writing time”. Bye.

Anything and Everything

Hi, I'm Aditi; I'm seventeen and in class twelve. As the blog name suggests, this blog will be about anything and everything I think and want to talk about. It rose from writing in a journal to wanting people to know about what I write and hiding it at the same time. I'm going to blog but don't know whether anyone will read it or not so my criteria of wanting to share my feelings and hiding it at the same time are fulfilled. I will try and refrain from using short forms and dozens of"......." and every time I make a new entry, in the course of the blog I wil ask a question related to my past, current or future blogs and if people read my blog, like it, can answer them in the comments place-I just want to feel all good and important about people actually reading my blog and answering my questions! :p....lol...oops. Laugh Out Loud.!
I am going to write whatever I feel like-it might seem extremely stupid or silly considering the excellent blogs around but it doesn't make a difference to me.
Today I'm going for a movie, it being Ashtami though I'm not Bengali but living in Bengal forces one to celebrate and declare it a holiday and anyways we people in Bengal love “free holidays” as I call it, all because of Mamata Banerjee and anyways now a lot of farmers are going to be on a permanent holiday as Tata’s have left Singur and so will be the youth who were looking forward to working in developing Bengal. I sometimes feel that its actually Ms.Banerjee who not being on the Government rules Bengal unlike someone (read: Buddhadeb Bhattacharya) who wants to as always, Mamata does something or the other so her ruling rules. Anyways I’m in the holiday mood and going for a movie. Heard the two major releases of the Pujas are not as good as expected. Saw one already-the lesser better one. Going for the slightly more watchable one today, though I liked the first one as well considering I’m a crazy Harry Potter fan. Alright now I have to get ready for the movie! Today’s question-Which movie am I going for?? Hoping someone will answer in the comments I sign off for today. Bye.
P.S. If no one bothers to answer, I will, in my next blog!.:p.
