IS THIS AN ENGINEER'S CHOICE????

ReWiNd.........some date of 2005 MAY...my scintillating 10th class result was declared..,i immersed myself into the world of NON MEDICAL SUBJECTS as majority of smiling faces that day did.....even without a reconsideration i declared myself as the next engineer and the succesor for keeping the gr8 honour of SHARMA clan glowing..but yes something inside of me didn't want me to do..
Nevertheless it took me 2 yrs and a slamming 12th class percentage to understand that phy chem were not the areas for me..i always performed abv avg in maths but 2 yrs of struggle with science screwed that as well...
First day of college ....a place that was suppose to extract enginneers out of loosers...what a sight that was...couldnt believe colleges like these did exist...till now we had spend our time cursing our managment,,teachers,,university admin,,education minister of india n evrybdy involved in setting up of our odious infrastructure..and some way we were not to be blamed for that...
In india...u hve a bare piece of land n there it is u hve ur own engineering college..no infra,,lack of applied curriculum,,no exposure to growing industry yet we r proud to be an enggineer..A place that is suppose to produce techicians is serving more of as a temple for muggers.It took us another 1 yr to understand that the scenerio remains unique throughout INDIA only to name a few as xceptions...
One morning a leading local newspaper told about a placement drive in a near by leading engg college from the same university....90 percnt was the success grade of college that hosted...unfortunately the story was not the same...the 90 prcnt grade eventually dropped to 50 at time of issuing call letters and evn to 20, post some months of joining on basis of performance or whtever...and no newspaper told abt this...and that still makes engineering a worshipping career option in india.
Computers being my area....i could solve a query in my training classes more efficiently than my fellow from a popular college nearby that had denied me the admission 2 years back...it sulked me down..i was not at his place merely because i didnt do well in my phy n chem in my 12th...i cursed the system again..i mean,,hw come they plan to produce computers engineers on basis of how badly one screwed his science subjects in 12th..since then i strongly believe computer science should be made a compulsary subject in 12th for those who wish to pursue the stream in thier graduation...Similar other instances like these keep sulking us down...our colleges that dont evn guarrantee wether we'll end up as professional engineers...,,increasing no of our fellows pursuing engg from thousands to lakhs n more,,a university that keeps giving away supplies like candies with pride..mre than half semesters gone,,still striving badly for an all clear one in first stroke
The increasing density of colleges across length of our highways somehow serve many other purposes,,i mean they increase rural employement,,,a place that had never seen a computer system is now witnessing flowing no of cyber cafes because two engineering colleges exist nearby...but the arguement remains unanswered...when will these institutions produce engineers or inventions for the country???

over a lakh being declared as engg evry yr,,dnt knw if even half of thm bcme so..
... Last night you killed urself to a sound sleep after watching a sympathatic 3 idiots or a tare zameen par or wake up sid that succesfully convinced us that all is the system to be blamed n not we...we wont do anythng but we will curse ...we'll rather prefer tuning into "give me sme sun shine"" or break into repetative excuses that..' story of wake up sid is no indifferent from mines''.YES DATS one thing we do impeccably.....N IF STILL U call urself engineers following a disagreement wid my demuring blog just perform a self evaluation ...ask yourself to DEFINE ENGINEER..N COUNT THE NO OF TIMES U JUMP INTO A DICTIONARY to cram...

My NaMe Is KhAn.....some films do compell...

Now here's the film i have been waiting for long...i strongly critized KARAN JOHAR for his previous strokes....that is,,for me K3G is still the worst peice of mainstream cinema we have.....but post MNIK i realized that some films do compell us to feel,, but along we ourselves start falling into...karan johar's MNIK is an applaud wrth attempt for sereous issues dealt beautifully... the scintillating efforts thrown in by the makers blow colours on screen..
As soon as the lights go off the opening shot itself speaks the desperation of our lead suffering from asperenges syndrome ,,,searching everythng he could to meet the president of the country and convince the world that its not bad to be a muslim..
Shahrukh's enact of an asperegence syndrome indivisual as Rizwaan appears authentically realistic n never does he loose his focus off it.Its all Rizwan's innocence that makes many moments in the film memorable.
The one where he hides his face and blushes away when mandira(kajol) asks to marry her..and...Mandira out of frustration states she 'll kill herself,,,,rizwan jumps in and makes repetive requests ''plz dont die plz''.. fortunately many others like these maintain the stolidity with the viewers..
There is a heartwarming scene where Rizwan offers a speech at a memorial service in a small village sharing the loss of his son and how he was regretful of not being a good father due to his disorder,, which follows a line''mujhe ankahi baatien mehsus krna nai ata...''probably serving the best scene in the film..
Dialouges succesfully make some important statements....”THIS PART OF THE WORLD LABEL DATES BY AD N BC...I SIMPLY MARK IT BY 9.11”... kajol as mandira is equally admirable for her determinition to go round d place and fight for justice followed by a communist attack on her son. On his journey to meet the president Rizwan bravely overcomes hurdles and there it is when shahrukh steals away the whole sympathy being shared by others characters earlier in the film.... For those interested in technical knowledge....Ravi k chandrans photography is eye watering and motion of camera does full justice to the theme of each scene ..
Equally scintillating is the art direction...the creation of an imaginary land of Greogia blown brutally by hurricane storms is stunning and goes well with d mood of destruction and pain all around...Apart from the leads,others such as Zahira wahib,Parveen dabas etc and all the foreign cast are in good form..a special mention for actor tanay playing young rizwaan is awesome with his expressions …
MNIK might not be a perfect film. Since the first half drags and also I felt odious to see actors like JIMMY SHERGILL,,VINAY PATHAK,being waisted as they rarely appear on screen…..bt still MNIK is worth a watch since it stands braverly to deliever the importance of devotion and basic goodness in our lives.......finally the film celeberates d victory of love n efforts.the film succesfully makes imp statements against the world's repulsive credensce for islam post 9\11...Half a dozen attempts r bieng made in india every year that raise similar issues,,sadly none soars....n dats what makes MNIK superior,,simply bcoz here no one is blowing stereotype dialouges at us..
In these times when indian viewers choice is struggling hard for genuine cinema,MNIK is not to be missed...am all set for the dvd release,, adding another one to my collection of favourite films…
