New ads

 I am at my Marredpally home,

Today morning, I got a chance to be at the System here in Hyderabad , from 10 PM. That  being a part of the business weekly meeting, we try to be religious about it,

Missed the morning Badminton game,

 

Will write about it all  together some other day , how I went on to buy one of the costly rackets, the shuttles, the track suits for the same

 

Anyways, I  am now sitting at home, watching TV , Roadies 7 comes with some good ads, one being from my very favorite Bani, though I have written about her long time back in one of the blogs, I believe 200 blogs ago

 

“Na Rakhi naa Rakhi ki maa, asli reality,”

it also has street banners like

 

“Bacchi ki shaadi nah , asli reality”

 

 

guys who believe in reality will not be in Roadies to start with, the only person who is really making something out of it really is Raghu, Though even he is out of this concept, only to drive bigger things ,. He is not a part shareholder of MTV, that is a big jump quite at an early age.

 

Anyways, I am sure he was a difficult guy to get along with for most of his friends

Coming to the new Indian ads, as usual the Fevicol ad ranks at the top along with many others,

 

I like the sweet face of the girl while she is jumping out the balcony in the Act II popcorn ad,

 

One of the new ads for Max mobiles, will show a foreigner in some remote village of India, where he tries to take photograph of utmost poverty , and the rural India, and how it looks like,

 

one damsel sitting on the porch in return takes the photograph of this guys taking a foto on her Max mobile,

 

a very very tasteful ad if you were to ask me. I am amazed that what happens to this creativity on the big screen, why do our movies suck big time,

 

25millipn dollars they spent on the film called blue, out of which many millions went to eh stars and that is why they did not have much to do with the rest of the crew

 

Akshay Kumar and his big fat pay cheque pulled the movie into the deep blue I believe

 

So much creativity in the bottom most guys,

 

There is a  serial called lapataganj that I watch now almost every day, it definitely reminds of the Agartala that I left in my childhood, so many characters to watch see and learn

 

I sincerely  hope that in our Social networking lives we have some thing similar to provide to the next generation of ours

2012

Finally this Sunday, amongst riot that you can see outside mulitplexes to get a seat for 2012. I was able to manage a very good seat in a here to ,unknown theatre in Hyderabad, near the railway station , call the Prashanthi ,

 

I was astonished at how coolly we managed to get the tickets,

I watched it in an amazingly good balcony location for a 25 rs ticket

 

All till the interval ,when I realized why should not  have come here. At interval, even before it, the lights were dimmed, right when Paris was going down, and Rome was almost at the verge of collapse,

the movie in its magnanimity makes, countries like India go down in one sentence ‘hey there, I think India just collapsed ‘

 

Anwyays, at the point of the interval, which I thought the theatre print of the movie should have a banner across it, but it did not, just the lights started dimming , and within 30 seconds of lost footage, the interval started

 

All the children from across the aisles, went out , pushing, cheek by jowl, all the ladies, trying to  hold on to their tramps, the kids in the arms, all crying, unanimously, and the guys in their flip flops, and  decorated jeans, went out, all together,

 

they like it that way, and by they I mean all those who came to the theatre to enjoy the movie other than me,

they all had to had a cold drink, one of the guys in front  of me who was complaining about cold , or something, complained about the chill , I don’t know why he did ask for a cold drink in the first place, some of the kids had to take some pop corn, some had to shout at the top of their voice,

many had their phones on during the whole first half, but the sound system in side the theatre won everytime they raised their voice.

 

I think they are not used to losing, and they do try and taking beyond the 180 dB range, they never think of the discomfort of the others nearby, later I realized, they actually like to show off, this is there way of proclaiming, “see I now have important people calling me, I do have some work to do , I am not a good for nothing guy, I am use ful, see, look at me, and this mobile, it has a ear phone too, and if you need I will take you foto graph “

 

 

 

blah blah,

Anyways, another couple had to bring two of their kids to the movie, one  more victim of nuclear family, in the olden days, you could keep you child to anyone int eh family and take some time off, and in return when you get old, other young couple get to keep their children with you when they go to watch 2012

 

I once had seen a Gujarati family bringing their bunch of kids to watch the movie Sin  . in which  Shiney Ahuja was naked most of the time.

Obviously, the children cried, they could have got a mental shock, if you ask me, anyways, my friend, a daring girl walked up to them and shouted at the family “

What the hell, don’t you ask anyone about a movie that you are taking your children to, the gate keeper should have atleast caught them < I don’t know whther you could bribe your sons first porn movie as a birthday gift or not ?

 

The family just knew one thing, weekends, are to spend the money that I have earned the whole week, I like the on intellectual culture, at least hey get a chance to enjoy whatever  money has to offer, but then to bring you r children to movies like Zinda, Kalbhi alvida  naa kehna  or Sin for example

 

Do they need a title  like “ I press your boobs and you suck it down there “ before they decide that it  might be in the range of movies that keep good impressions in the minds of the children to start with,

 

Anyways , today morning a thought struck me, that , lets say , there really is a 2012 happening, what I will do is take a printout of all  my blogs, make a book out of,

 

“the blogs of  Rahiakil” and some how place it in the ship that will be made in China to save as ,

 

 

In future, I will be known as a great writer of the before flood.  But before that I will have to find and destroy the database or the server that will be having all the worlds good old literature, like Faust, Dante, Goether, Shakespeare, Milton , Chaucer, Wordsworth , one  by one, I will have to delete them and place my book

 

And there will be only author in the coming years, and that will be me

Test match # 2 , Nov 2009

Well, when you see, Yuvraj being more gentle than he is usually, when you have  sweeper in the first over of a test match, when  you see, a gully in case of Rahul Dravid, batting in the other way around, you should know that things are not what it seems

 

Indian team was paying flamboyantly till today morning, when all of a sudden it got out at 642,

 

I don’t know , whether some Intel based experiment is working out such wonders on the pitch in Kanpur this time, but some how the way Harbhajan and  more of a surprise Dhone could not read the  Mendis at all, I am afraid this was a wrong choice to pick up three fast bowlers for this match that will be a Spinners cake walk  game

 

Anyway,

I like Dravid in a sense, if you see his foot movement you will see a new difference, instead of stretching it across the stumps, he  nowadays, stretches it forward, which is typical of Yuvaraj. This is a welcome change though late in the career and 10 K plus runs later,

 

But some where deep down I know that if Dravid is allowed to continue , we might see some blazing new score book changes, and records tumbling in the coming days,

Border you are down, Lara here he comes.

 

The test is now interesting, in the sense that I am waiting for Sehwag to take the bowl and  Yuvaraj if possible
