What’s the future ?

While going through the newspaper today ,I came against a thought and was thinking about it for a while and wondering what is the perception of India for a tourist ,investor ,and an emigrate ,not in terms of the economic growth ,with MNCS ,enjoying the sudden change of Indians spending money on shopping for clothes. Cars,lifestyle ,health and travel ,but as nation where you go through a newspaper and there are front page stories of crime ,child abuse ,theft 95 % of the time ,but hardly would see any success stories on Indians changing the countries in a positive way ,these stories only come when they feel that’s well they have got enough crime news ,and now need to fill up the 32page newspaper with “some other news”,why are we giving so much importance to news that would damage the image of the country because of a few 100s ,and not just the newspaper ,the news channels too through out the day highlight news on the crime news ,don’t we as a country have much more to offer to the people ?
Can we not as a country see how much these horrifying incidents and stories affect the tourism of a country that has so much to see and do ?
I am not telling well not report these incidents ,rather give solution how can we stop this country from being known as the “criminal minds”.
And developing the country .

Happens only in India

When an Indian in India is scarastic,expressing his view on a poltics and poltican ,they arrest the citizen ,but when polticans do blunders ever now and then there is no action against them ,only criticising them ,speaking about them ,why can’t we as a country citizen take any action against ,we the people have elected them ,they haven’t elected us ,we are the people who are the ones who get affected ,they aren’t getting affected they know exactly who they are ,what they do,but then why do we people become silent after just getting aggressive for the moment and forget about ?,why aren’t we continuing to fight for change,is it because of the attitude that well thing will go on like this ?,why can’t we change ?what stop us from being the change ?
What’s stopping us from moving ahead In taking action against these rotten spoilt eggs ?

Did you Know?

while I was going through  a book,I came across an interesting piece of information about  snakes & ladders . “Moksha Patam “was earlier known as snakes and ladders and just realised ,that the game snake and ladder originated from India .And  then I was so eager to know about the game that i decided to write this piece .

The game is a simple  and was very popular with young children .

It was known as moksha patam or vaikunthapaali or paramapada sopaanam (the ladder to salvation). The game made its way to England and was sold as “Snakes and Ladders”, then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders
Known as Moksha Patam, the game was popular in ancient India and emphasized the role of fate or Karma  . A Jain version, Gyanbazi or Gyan chauper , dates to the 16th century. The game was called Leela   and reflected the Hinduism  consciousness surrounding everyday life. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in victorian England  in 1892.Moksha Patam was associated with traditional Hindu and jain philosophy and  contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. It emphasized destiny, as opposed to games such as pachisi, which focused on life as a mixture of skill (free will) and luck. The game has also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad. The ladders represented virtues such as generosity, faith, and humility, while the snakes represented vices such as lust, anger, murder, and theft. The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain salvation (Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one will inherit rebirth   to lower forms of life. The number of ladders was less than the number of snakes as a reminder that a path of good is much more difficult to tread than a path of sins. Presumably the number “100” represented Moksha (salvation). In Andhra pradesh  , Snakes and Ladders is played in the name of Vaikuntapali.The phrase “back to square one” originates in the game of snakes and ladders, or at least was influenced by it .

The New Government !!!

16th may 2014
Will go down in the history of India has one of those day where a poltical party single handedly won more than 272 seats ,more than anybody expected ,a day where finally after more than 60 years congress (the Ghanaians )have been defeated by the biggest margin in the history of politics .
Indian have shown the congress that ,they had given them enough chances and now they would like to give a chance to one of the leaders they believe can change India ,to a better place to live ,today it’s so happens that a young boy who at the age of 16 joined Poltics and nearly after 50 years has become the prime minster of India from a poltical party who had changed India from 1999-2004 but couldn’t really keep there momentum going and the new government than just ruled for the next decade and threw India to the dogs .
It’s the same man who was accused for the riots in Gujarat but nothing could prove his involvement during the riots
He is the same man who has been the chief minster for 3 consecutive terms in Gujarat that’s 15 long years ,it’s with that reason the Indians have voted him for the seat .
Now that Indians have done their job ,it’s time the man Nariender Modi too performed .

The million$arm

It’s a story about two baseball players who from India made it to the United States popular baseball team .
The film begins with two employee who are in trouble after their star clients does a deal with another agency and they are now looking what options they have and one of them while browsing on the television gets this idea of going to India and finding baseball players by doing a contest to get attention of the people and how they find these two Guys and the challenges and obstacle they face to learn the game and being part of a new country ,there culture ,language ,behaviour is a drastic change and how they over came the changes .
The director job as a storyteller was really good with few portions captured well
The background score was also too indie since it’s was about two Indians player .The background was with theme .also the movie wasn’t too long ,nor short the 120 minutes movies has really hooked you on without leaving you with a moment of boredom .
The performance of the actor were really good epically the two (Sooraj Sharma ) and (Madhur Mittal ) who were part of life of pi and slumdog millionaire with both done a Hollywood project each this seemed to be another one they bagged on the previous performances and this one too will give them more opportunity since they acted showing the changes from being from small villages from India to being well known Indians at every stage .not to forget the last few minutes of the movie when Amit is given an opportunity to go and be the coach for the player by JB
It’s that emotional feeling by the dialogues that creates the impact on the audience which is really satisfying .
