Sapne Mein Milti Hai (A Hindi Film Song)

 Man ! what a song ! just hear the beats. Make you feel like dancing ... truely a group song ... or a team song ... actually that movie is quite a serious movie ... it is based on "gang-war" ... most probably in Mumbai ... not exactly sure about the place though ... But this song does not have any of the mention of "gang-war" at all ... which makes it great to watch it in stand-alone mode ... Who has stolen the show here? ... definitely "Shefali Shah" ... who else? ... excellent performance as a common Indian woman ... let me call it "personification of maturity" ... she is "on her toes" all the time to handle the whole "marriage ceremony" ... she is working towards all the arrangements for the guests ... and at the same time does not shy away from entertaining them, by dancing with them ... full energy ... full enthusiasm ... Manoj Vajpeyi says to her, "you worked very hard at home, now its your time to go out and have s...

Diwana Hai Dekho (A Hindi Film Song)

An "ideal introduction" process of today's guys and girls in itself. It is performed so well such that no one will feel awkward, or rather, they will feel comfortable interacting with each other, even after getting to know each other (about the past and future) What else I liked? Karina Kapoor copying the style of Hritik Roshan with the sun-glasses stating "Is it so? I understand" Even the guys copying the style of Hritik Roshan with the sun-glasses stating "Is it so? we also understand" Karina Kapoor's show-off of her identity "Just go tell him who I am !" Hritik Roshan has performed completely "sarcastically", since he is closed for a relationship with her. Since he is already  involved in his childhood love. His performance over "aakho mein doob jane ko hum bekraar baithe hain." is sooo sarcastic yet so playful ! It appears that he is stating  "Kareena, You are acting as if I am 'bekaraar' for you, but ...

Mitu

Me, going to my friends' homes to solve problems or to chat, and they used to come at my home as well ! But I never got inspired by anyone except my friend "Mitu". We met in 11th grade. Mitu and one of her friends "Anjana". (I will write about Anjana sometime later.) They both were from the same school, which is CBSE board school. CBSE board exams have the toughest syllabus when it comes to academics. And they both got a score of 98% in Maths. We all were new in the Junior College that time. I was happy to have such great friends around me. Mitu did not hesitate to help me or other students, even though we competed for the same exam ! She helped a lot to me in my 12th grade. When my Maths teacher left the school in the middle of the year. Mitu helped me by solving few of Maths exercises. The rest I did. But "destiny" played its part here. Even though Mitu helped me a lot, I got a little higher score than Mitu. Honestly, I could not enjoy my score. We b...

Read (Stories, How to read the stories with the punctuation marks in mind ! - Correctly interprete the punctuation marks, while reading) Speak (When family members around the child speak, the child starts speaking by immitating them. The family members of the child should re-iterate what the child said, correct any grammatical mistakes, or mistakes in forming the statements or mistakes in understanding "situation/person/concept". Then reply accordingly, by stating the right grammar, sentence format...

Physical Jobs and Digital Jobs

AI will take over digital jobs like lightening! I think it should just be the opposite. If at all one wants to reduce the pain of physical efforts put by humankind today, we have to develop machines and tools with smart/AI capabilities to reduce the physical pain as soon as possible. For example, the pain involved in collecting and disposing the garbage, the pain of a man in getting into the man-hole, pain of cleaning the large water bodies like lakes, rivers, sea etc, pain of cleaning drainages. These jobs should be completely automated as soon as possible. The digital world may get simplified as a result of that. For example, debugging and testing of the above mentioned machines can be automated. Writing code for testing and debugging the machines, can be an automated process. Simulating the test scenarios for the above mentioned machines (for example, simulating cleaning the rivers, seas, drainages) etc needs to be automated. I wonder how are we going to simulate the garbage collect...

Worship and Respect

 As we all know Buddha is a man (we may call him a spiritual genius). He should be "respected" and NOT "worshipped" for his thoughts". "Worship" is "blind", while "respect" requires the mind to be "open" for new thoughts. "worship" is "stalled", while "respect" is "progressive". Buddha should be thought of as a "Guru" OR rather, humanity will benefit more, if it treats Buddha as a "Guru". In India we say God cannot be present "everywhere" with every human being, that is why he has created "Guru" for knowledge and "woman" for care. Regarding the form of Buddha, it might be as simple as the Japanese Sculptors have imagined him in the form of Japanese man. The Indian Sculptors have imagined him as an Indian man.  I do not think the statues/forms reflect our "Ego". It's "how you look at the statue", will reflect t...

The way I see Education

Your family members are heading in the right direction. There has to be large community to bring the kids up. Not only the deaf community but also hearing community. I think it would be better if each of your family members choose a different topic to communicate to him. It would be just like circulating "vast information" around him in the way he understands. The topics can be related to education as well as entertainment. When it comes to education, he can get started with basic maths, practical usages of science concepts and the basic grammer (most probably English). It will be a great idea to get him started with technical games (which basically means getting an exposure to technology). He can get started on assembling and dismantling objects, He can also play video games for a limited time. And I think he is already getting trained on sports by his father. When it comes to entertainment or arts, he can go for painting, pottery, craft (paper/cardboard), carpentry (he is s...

मराठी माणूस

 तुम्ही म्हणता ते अगदी बरोबर आहे. आपल्याकडे संहिता चांगल्या आहेत. म्हणजे आपल्याकडे कल्पना आणि मूल्यं चांगली आहेत. मराठी माणसाला मराठी आणि हिंदी तर येतच पण त्याबरोबर हेही सत्य आहे की बहुतांशी शहरी मराठी माणसाला ईंग्लिश पण येतं किंवा कमीतकमी समजतं तरी. मराठी सिनेमा हिंदी मध्ये डब करुन उत्तर भारतात मार्केट करता येईल आणि ईंग्लिश मध्ये डब करून दक्षिण भारतात मार्केट करता येईल. मराठी माणसाला पूर्ण भारत खुला आहे. मराठी माणसाचं कौतुक करावं तितकं कमी आहे की त्यांनी अजूनही आपल्या परंपरा आणि मुल्यांना सांभाळून ठेवलं आहे आणि तरी त्याने आधुनिक समाजातला बदलही अंगिकारला आहे. दक्षिण भारत अतिशय जुनी मुल्ये अजूनही जोपासतो (दक्षिण भारतीय Loyal नाहीत, ते Stubborn आहेत. भारतीय नेत्यांनी कितीतरी प्रयत्न केले की त्यांनी हिंदी शिकावे, नेते हे म्हणत नाहीत कि तुम्ही उर्दु शिका. पण ते नाही शिकत. ते ईंग्लिश शिकतात, पण हिंदी नाही शिकत. मला वाटतं कि त्यांना हिंदी आणि उर्दुतला फरक अजून कळत नाही.) आणि उत्तर भारत सगळी भारतीय मूल्ये धाब्यावर बसवतो. मराठी माणूस आपल्या तार्किक बुद्धीने दक्षिण भारतात आणि उत्तर भारतात ए...

Dil Nahi Chahta Hai

Regarding the "crook" scene in Dil Chahta Hai. A "white" girl is shown as a crook. I will NOT take most of the Hindi films very seriously. We just watch them for entertainment, unless it is from a great director. We have to be really choosy in watching Hindi movies and its songs. However, if we want to take my serious opinion about the "white girl or the white world", Indians have been literally "brain-washed" to believe that its the "British (the white world)" who has caused major harm to India by stealing its wealth including "Kohinoor". The "Islamic harm" to India is kept a TOP SECRET. I have no personal grudges against Islam, However till date, major Islamic contribution can be considered in the Art World. No one ever talks about the "British Contribution" to India. All our initial "roads", "bridges", "tunnels", "railways", "electricity", "suages...
