A Day Back To School....

On the bench in 21 park i found a wallet..Surely belonged to a student as it had a 100 rupees note that suffered severe folds and lack of outside atmosphere..Following some registeration slips i identify the owner a studnt of a school adjoining the park. ..i decided to deposit it to the school..

The gateman guided me to the principal's room..

oh wow!! after so many years i was entering a school..years since i saw uniforms all around..On the way to the principal's office i was reminded mre of my own school..In the first corridor,few DRESS DEFAULTERS were made to stand outside their classes ..Standing outside the class was always fun and never punishment fr me..and  the same was fr the students here.nothing had changed..Schools even today have their own boring  routine..teachers thrashing students,cleaning of   floors after evry 5 mins,.,etc.

i entered the office and found a furious face threatning someone on phone of not allowing his ward to appear in exams..same old principal's punch//"aap kal hi aake mjhse miliye apne bache k sath else i wont allow him to sit in exams.".nothing had changed..our's was no less..
i gave her the wallet and she made a call to SHUBAM CLASS 11 COMMERCE..

minutes later two slim medium height boys reported..both were shubams..before anythng else could proceed she points  one of them

"ye sar pe kya h? chidiya ka ghonsla h?hmm..you think you are a hero or what? just get lost you morons..comb your hair and then enter my office..''

they renter 5 min later with a champoo side hairline.lol..

PRINCI--dono apna wallet nikalo..

{and yes throughout the process i was in pride of doing such a responsible deed}

one of 'em--ma'am m to lekar nahi ata

PRINCI--and you  ghosla hair boy? 

STUDENT--maam neither do i..

PRINCI--then to whom this one belongs?

BOTH IN CHORUS(VOICE SHIVERING)--ma'm there is another shubham..he hasnt come today

PRINCI--hmm!did he come yesterday?

STUDENT1--no ma'am..

STUDENT2 yes ma'am

pata nahi..

the matter was.

the required shubam was in deadly danger..and all because of me

the guy was on a bunk and was doing somethng in the park the day before.

PRINCI--let the bastard come tomorrow..

(now to me)thank you for your help beta..so nice of you anybody else would have preferred  purchasing two more cigg packets from this money..

now this was the time for me to be heroic..

ma'am i have somethng to say

many times i have seen students of your school smoking ,consuming drugs in the adjoining park..

arnt u doing smething?

PRINCI--beta see..what can i do?

i have written to the police so many times but they dont support..

my respponsibility begins when the students enter the gate..outside what they do i can't hold of it..

parents are becoming careless..its their duty.."

 really nothing has changed..

that shubam might be cursing me by now..:P

My guilt confession...Film downloads..

After warning my fellow mates on why they should avoid using pirated stuff specifically films,am myself  perplexed  on why am I suppose to point them..
Why do I ask them to avoid and not stop doing so? Do I myself escape my believes for some exceptions? The ans is yes..and this is my guilt confession..
            Exceptions, when a portugese Brazilian cult classic "cidade de deus”( CITY OF GOD) is enlisted amongst the 100 best films ever made, not released in india neither is the ORIGINAL DVD available , the only alternative am left is to commit a sin of approaching this internet offering movies worldwide free…I download it and pray I better hate it. Surprisingly,I like it so much that it is the best film of my all time fav genre crime ..subsequently, I realise I should better hold on my wierd believes else I would be deprived of such great experiences..
            Somehow am not that guilty, Being a student I had my limitations. But my craze for films like avatar and inception triggered me to the extent of saving money out of cutting all my other expenses and purchase original dvd’s of both..obviously, I shouldn’t have expected admiration for such great job..Moreover I am reffered as jack ass since then..But do tell me, how thrilling far is it to watch an avatar on less than a 20 inch screen at your systems.And if for a reason you missed a film at the cinemas,then why is it painful to hire an original dvd on rent and watch..ofcourse,you arnt a jackass like me purchasing originals..But hiring on rent isn’t disgraceful..atleast it could be done for films that are available..
         Am known to have answers to everything..TO this I feel I should better not flount at others of what they should not do.. atleast till am known a jackass.. moreover it won’t be easy to justify you all people my loyality towards my passion..i think,I make the best to watch as much films I can on original stuff..If finance is an issue then I am sensible enough to wait for the DVD’S out months later of theatrical release..Renting does good for me..If I am trapped in a “CITY OF GOD” situation I would download it from the craziest database in the world..
           I would do so till I become capable of flying to brazil and get an original piece of the city of god..
           This heading holds great concern since I wish to have a private room someday equipped with home theatre and a library at one corner displaying the collection of my all time favourites; The godfather, the dark knight,City of god,The raging bull, Black Friday,shawshank redemption,Pulp fiction,pyasaa,dil chahta hai,hera pheri and…………….:-) 

Film Award ceremonies...from disgrace to reverence..

It might be  crazy of me for what am writing today... am just expressing my pleasure towards the recently held star screen awards honouring bollywood films of 2010..surprised!! UDAAN best film..:-)J

its high time since i stopped watching award functions for the manipulative judgments they gave...hritik being awarded best actor for his tainted performance in krish missing out sanjay dutt for  munnabhai.and the subsequent year all award ceremonies missed out taare zameen par in important nominations.

 many a times stars claiming and criticisng  the odious practise of fake judgments at award functions  were noticed cheering at the ceremonies performing and even giving speech of gratitude for the ESTEEMED HONOUR.Act of plagurising is nothng new in bollywood..it origins way back from our golden films..how many of us would agree really that cult indian film SHOLAY was lifted from a japanese film the seven samurai..if you do, then believe me there are many, and to name a few  for instances would be partial..

My interest for star screen awards grew when neeraj pandey ( director a wednesday) won best director and best story teller.

surprisingly, Salman khan is the best actor( for the first time in his career).. i thought it should have been shahrukh, but its acceptable when it comes to impact..salman in dabanngg was highly influential than shahrukh in khan..obviously the nation went crazy for story less dabangg over khan.. also rakhtcharitra was placed in many nominations though it missed out an award..

with many of big films failing and small films getting more popular, the audiences shall realise the nice films they missed out at the theatres..

c'mon people,lets support such great move recognising real talent..who knows soon we shall produce better films than foreigners...
have fun at the movies...:-)
