AARAKSHAN

There was much hype about the movie. It was explosive and it was anti reservation. Some Govts. banned it. The director went to Court against the ban. I saw the movie at a Theatre in Coimbatore when I went there. Scores of police personnel were deployed in front of the theatre as earlier the Vidhuthalai Chiruthai Katchi activists had torn the screen in the Theatre. The first half of the movie was gripping and the later was a masala one. I think the director's initial social commitment has been overtaken by commercialism. On the whole a movie to watch.

Silencing dissent

Earlier it was Jyothimoy Dey the interprid journslist was murdered in front of his house and now it is Snehla Masood a RTI activist from Bhopal. With the Govts doing nothing the criminals are emboldened. Nothing seems to get solved. One incident is overtaken by another. The politicians are busy politiking, the police have forgotten to police the people are indifferent. It is sad for democracy.

Anna Hazare

Soon after Anna Hazare started to the fasting venue, he would taken into custody. Along with him Shathi Bhushan, Aravind Kejarwal and Kiran Bedi. Parliament has been adjourned as usual. What will be the result. The issue of corruption would take a back seat.Blame game would start. The present Govt. is insensitive and unresponsive to any issue. if an issue crops up it the Congress uses its mouthpieces like Jayanthi Natarajan, Singhvi, Manish Tiwari to side track the entire issue and dish out inane details about the opposition. Mumbai blasts are forgotten. Telengane issue is gone. Same way the anti corruption movement will go. The insensitive Govt. stays on

Team India

Team India has surrendered. They have been clueless against swing bowling. Their bowling has been very weak. They have surrendered without a fight. Among Sehwag, Sachin,Lakshman,and Dravid, only Dravid has shown his class. Others have failed. Sachin could not convert his good score to a match winning one. Age and fatigue are showing. The old guards can retire and a new Team India can be built.
