Looking for Santa Claus!!

Kaka says, 'Santa doesn't exist!! Naanna would bring the gifts for us.' Prithvi adds, 'Even if Santa is somewhere, how will he know me? my name? the gift I am expecting?? Does he keep roaming around in the sky and arrive at a lonely place like PK?'!!!!! But for all the doubts and apprehensions, Kaka & Prithvi finished writing their letters to Santa (after making last minute updates to their wish list!!) and eagerly waiting for the gifts.........Keeping their ears stuck to the front door!!

PK

I am not his fan, especially after noticing that his films solely revolve around his character and the others just play the supporting cast. But, I caught myself unawares appreciating Aamir Khan's talent and prowess yet another time, after watching 'PK'. The innocent and unworldly behavior, supplemented by the stretched eyelids, the conspicuous ears and the typical movements (including his funny running style) could be patented as PK-ish!!!!! Of course, I also loved both Anushka's role and styling. I am in awe with her ohh-so casual look. 

If I had to explain religions and God-men to my kids, I would have to face similar questions. I might have to first resolve the confusion and conflict of thought in their minds over these aspects. But, how can any sane being justify them??....while some relevant concepts are un-explainable, the others are contrasting, contradictory, invisible, abstract and the rest seem illogical to any new-comer trying to get a grasp of what is going on!! The so-called 'wrong numbers' need to be clarified, in order to facilitate the upcoming generation to strongly hold on to the proper side of their faith. Period.

The tactful and subtle way in which the film-makers handled the most-sensitive and controversial subject needs to be appreciated. I think this is 'socially responsible' cinema, to the extent to which it urges the people to think before they blindly believe anything in the name of ‘God’ and learn to question their conviction and search for answers!! Totally a good watch!!

Clown

The smartest among the clowns who would be entertaining the parents and guests at the annual day tomorrow!!

Matter of Shame!!

When celebrities speak out for a cause, we rule it out as a means to gaining public mileage. But, proud of Shenaz for not only conveying the angst of every Indian female to the bigwigs, but also urging them to act upon it. Let it be a publicity stunt...along with her image, let her publicize the cause among the power-holders. As the women of the country, we don't mind that at all.......instead, we stand in her support to, 'Its their shame, not yours!'.
As a man, if you feel agitated by her open letter accusing fellow men, think more sensibly!! Think of those little girls who couldn't even understand what has happened to them!! Remember the days in college when you have seen the girls wade through eve-teasers.....!! Ask girls or women from your household who have used the public transport. Give them the boldness to express. They will reveal more ugly stories of shame!! Imagine the plight of a person who has to move around, but do so stealthily and cautiously to protect him/herself falling prey to some nasty prank!!  These would refresh your memory, enlighten you and justify her accusations.
However, no NaMo or Ambani can come to the girl's rescue at every such instance. So, if possible, please encourage them to speak out. Help them shed the fear of voicing the disrespect that people have shown upon them....re-assure them....its no more a matter of shame or taboo!! Unless the women take their own stance and start punishing their perpetrators, this would not end. Who looked into the matter when we shouted of eve-teasing, rape incidents, child molestation, abuse or domestic violence??!! Bring out the so-called demoness in you and make the men repay for their sadistic behavior.
