Yehi hai Right Choice Dhoni (Pepsi)!!!

Huge drama at Trent Bridge on 3rd day of 2nd test match between India and England took place on last ball before tea. This drama and decision though will be remembered for ever in the history of cricket. Everyone in World is going to remember, what Dhoni did on 31st of July.

Question is not whether Ian Bell was out or not, because, in some eyes, he will look out, and in some eyes he will not. It was a situation where in movies; you can see a culprit with murder weapon in his hands, blood in his clothes of a victim and victim dead body. For many lawyers it’s a clear cut case where you just give out a verdict saying, “Bell is a murderer”. However no one really knows whether Ian bell actually did committed a murder or not.



Only Ian Bell knows when he took those quick 3 steps towards non-striker’s end, was he really looking for 4th run OR was he actually running towards Morgan to celebrate that they just pass out a session without loosing a wicket.



Ian Bell clears out the confusion and declares that it was an honest mistake or naïve mistake to wait till the ball is dead. If you refer the Law book, he is out. Probably he will understand the outcome; probably he will be angry for a while and forget about it. However, Will Strauss is able to forget it? I doubt. Would English team will be able to forget about it? I doubt. Would British Media will be able to forget about it? I doubt.



The incident could have been repeated in some form or another during the next 2 test matches and any Indian batsman might be the Victim next time. However what Dhoni and team India did and the decision that they took today, is something out of ordinary. Only an Indian Team can take such a brave decision. It’s an Indian Way, It’s our Culture to forget the “Naïve” Mistake of opposition and “Forgive” them. Dhoni’s decision was a Mahatma Gandhi moment in Cricket.



Spirit of the game comes into play when you have some gray area and doubts. This was a doubtful call and in such situation you really have to go with the Spirit of the game, where Right Decision was to ask Ian Bell to come back. It was also a calculative decision. There were few overs left before new ball was due and even if you remove bell, Prior would have came and destroyed Indian spinners much the same way, Bell and Morgan did. Probably Prior would have got even more runs (consider he was going more than run a ball, after new ball is taken). India would not have achieved anything by taking bell out of equation. Considering the situation, Logically, Spiritually, Theoretically, It was a right decision to call Bell back. All I can say to Dhoni is : Yehi hai Right Choice Baby !!!! aha.

Delhi Belly: Exposes Hypocritical Morality of a Bollywood

It’s a movie for folks between the age of 15 to 50. It’s not a “Typical” Bollywood Movie. 80% of the dialogues are in English and rest 20% are in Hinglish. It’s a movie for the youth, on the youth, to the Youth.



Movie is all about how to tell the most dramatic scenes in a most realistic way. There are certain dialogues and scenes which happens pretty much everyday in our real life. There are some of the typical dialogues that we use in our real life. Movie is path-breaking in a way because, even though we see reality everyday, we are too afraid to see it in a big screen or film-makers were too afraid to show it in the big screen. In Today’s culture, “Fuck” is probably the most common word to use and have been used very frequently in the movie.



When three friends of the same age are in a conversation we use slangs such as, “Ch**t”; “BenC**d“, “G**du”, “La*du”, a**hole and they have been used very conveniently.



When did we see 5 second scene of Water flowing from tap while bucket being away, a guy pressing boobs of a sl*t, a guy sucking p**sy of a girl friend (and taking a phone), inflamed eye make-up, two girls talking about being Lesbian, a friend introducing another friend as serial rapist etc etc.



There are some of the scenes we might have encounter in Hollywood movies pretty frequently, like Fake Sex Scene with Orgasm to fool others, torturing another gangster by putting a fire cracker in an a**hole, getting shit when you are expecting diamonds, half naked guy sleeping with his bump and a**hole visible etc etc.



Whoever has lived with group of friends, its pretty common not to a certain task, when its not their turn to do it, but seeing the same reality in a big screen, will not only send you for a while to past but make even your heart laugh.



If you feel, your job sucks big time, spare a thought for Arup’s job; to make a picture of “HAPPY BANANA” with an accuracy of 8%, pretty freaking amazing.



Highlight of the movie though is “VIJAY RAAZ”. Every scene that is being filmed on him is amazing. His scenes with Vladimir in the hotel and with the trio in their apartment are to die for. He is truly the greatest actor came out in recent time and perhaps in the same league of Nassiruddin Shah and Om Puri. “B***C****, tum log kya meri barat mein aaye ho” will be remembered for ever.



Songs are working beautifully according to the situation in background. Cinematography is awesome, Screenplay was written very well. There is nothing great in Story but film making is not about Story, it is about how to tell a Story and that has been done pretty well.



It exposes hypocritical morality of a Bollywood in a beautiful way. Excellence can be excelled and perfection can be improved.

Labor

There are many differences in life-style between USA and India; One of them being “Labor” work.




As a kid, I remember when we shifted to a new home; we wanted to build Furniture suited for our new apartment. We went for shopping and just 2 streets down found a furniture shop. Spoke long and hard with owner “Mani Ram” which involved not only the price fix for the furniture that we wanted but also what kind of furniture.



Talks between Maniram and father involved stories from Past, Present and Future. Negotiation was also the key part of that conversation. Price was fixed, Wood was choosen, color was selected, days were decided and everything was finalized.



Maniram and his workers spend about 3 days to build and set-up entire furniture. Those 3 days involved lots of talks. We lived in that place for more than 20 years, plenty of time, furniture or small things related to furniture required help of “Maniram”. Maniram and his resources were more than welcome to help (with some labor charges of course). Those 3 days spend though; build a relationship of a life time and names to remember for ever.



Today, I went to Wal-Mart, to get a piece of furniture to put my books on. A book-shelf was given to me with 6 pieces of cheap wood and few screws and one piece of paper. I hardly remember the name of Company which builds this item. I can hardly say “build” because, they don’t build anything, and they just sell woods. I hardly remember the name of person who was at the counter of “Wal-Mart”. It’s not just the human interaction which is out of fashion or equation, but its also a slap on the very concept of “Community Living”.



Whenever a community is being built, it involves various kinds of skills. Someone is good in cutting hairs or electronics or fashion or medicine or building roads or building furniture etc etc. By selling cheap piece of woods, you are promoting an idea, that particular skill is so easy that you can learn it by reading one piece of paper. Why would you bother hiring a furniture guy or calling a labor who can fix small furniture/electronics problem at your home? Learn it on your own, Fix it on your own, Be your own destiny, Be Free, Be Independent, Be Good in everything (at least all small things) and the end-feel “superiority”. Problem is synonym of the word, “superiority” is “Arrogance”.



When you no longer require help from someone to fix your furniture, you just killed job(s) of hundreds of thousands of “Labor” Work. Its not just one simple job that you got rid of, then comes few more. Why should I go and cut my hair somewhere, I can do it myself. Why should I go and pay for Oil Change, I can do it myself and so on. Think twice before you start doing job of others, because soon, someone will start doing yours too.



Create Jobs not Destroy them!!!
