A window to my world ...

I watched the movie Wall-E and it got me seriously thinking. Will our planet one day become a repository of trash ,gadgets and goods and finally be non-habitable .Every person uses up around 100 different electronic goods/gadgets over his lifetime (Eg. will change at least 15 mobiles ).Where will all this go?How will we be able to sustain all this development,need for extra fuel and power.Where are we going to dispose of all the nuclear waste ?Are we seriously giving thought to alternate means of power,recycling. Where are we moving towards in this rush for development and advancement.We have surely put ourselves in a self destructive mode. A hundred questions unanswered.Only time can tell.

Attended the Ganesh Utsav festival organized at APS Grounds Basavangudi last friday. It started off with soulful bhajans, then pooja by Sri Sri Sri Ravi Shankar [founder of Art of living] and then by an awesome concert by Pt. Shivkumar sharma and Rahul Sharma on Santoor.Santoor,[or the shat-tantra-veena meaning 100 strings] has been modified by Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma to make it suitable for classical music.There were 2raagas which were performed :Raga Rageshwari and Raag Mishra Pahadi,accompanied by tabla and Ghatam. I can only say that the whole experience was great,the artists wove sheer magic with the music they created and it left me wanting more.What an evening!! I am proud to be born in a country with such great musical diversity. Come to think of it,music is inseperable from our tradition.Our Gods are also associated with Music/Dance.Like Saraswati Devi with the Veena and Lord Krishna with the flute,and lord Shiva is called Nataraj,the king of dance .

Wont say much abt the story ... Fastpaced Great Cast Does not drag Crisply edited No faltu songs,no stupid parallel comedy Great performance by the best we've in the industry Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher Not preachy but has a strong social undercurrent Relevant to the times We need more such movies Do Watch it In the Genre of "Mumbai Meri jaan", "Aamir"

Loved watching "Rock on" at Belgaum...Here we can still get a balcony ticket for 35 Rs --And watching a movie in a small town theatre gives you a better movie experience than what even technologically perfect theatres wont in Blore.. The whistles when the hero enters,the hulla by the public,clapping when thers's a good dialog,junta booing at the theatre owners when the screen dims due to some problems: now thats wholesome paisa vasool...You dont have to think twice before shelling out like a 100 bucks for coke and some popcorn here. I never miss watching movies when i visit Bgm and although i want this place to develop ,hope the multiplex theatre concept does not catch on here. Coming back to the movie,well the best scene was when the "Rock band" ,to make up some extra cash actually goes and plays for a dandiya fest ...Do watch that scene.
