SUKH KE SAB SAATHI

These are the few days when you love your work. This is the time when you feel it’s a good choice that you are doing what you are doing. I am talking about me and my writing profession (ref: http://rajatsfunnybone.blogspot.com/2010/09/om-ganeshaye-namah.html , where I had self proclaimed to be a writer). Anyways, enough of me for now. Ah! I know you don’t get to read enough of me and want more and more but kya kare professional hazard you see, I can’t write about me. So where were we? (I was surely in Sathwa Aasman).

RICKY PONTING – R.I.P. (Ricky Immodest Ponting)

When I saw the clips of Ricky today only one thing came to my mind.

To be sung along with following lyrics:

Original lyrics:

MODIFIED LYRICS:

Sukh Ke Sab Saathi Dukh Mein Na Koi

JEET KE SAB SAATHI HAAR MEIN NA KOI

Mere Ram, Mere Ram Tera Naam Ek Saacha Dooja Na Koi

MERE SACHIN, MERE LAKSHMAN TERA NAAM HAI SAACHA DOOJA NA KOI

Jeevan Aani Jaani Chhaaya Jhoothi Maya Jhoothi Kaya

CRICKET AANI JAANI CHHAAYA JHOOTHI CHHAKKA JHOOTHI CHAUKKA

Phir Kahe Ko Saari Umariya Paapki Gathri Dhoi

PHIR KAHE KO SAARI CAREER-IYA 39 CENTURIES KI BOOJH DHOI

Sukh Ke Sab Saathi...

JEET KE SAB SAATHI...

Na Kuchh Tera Na Kuchh Mera Ye Jag Jogi Vaala Phera

NA WARNE TERA NA HAYDEN TERA TAB KAHAN SE TEAM JEETE-RA 

Raja Ho Ya Runk Sabhi Ka Ant Eksa Hoi

MCGRATH HO YA GILLI SABHI KA CAREER ANT EK DIN HOI

Sukh Ke Sab Saathi...

JEET KE SAB SAATHI...

Baahar Ki Tu Maati Phaanke Man Ke Bheetar Kyun Na Jhaanke

TEAM SE TU SLEDGING KARWE UMPIRE KO BHI UNGLI DEEKHAWE

Ujle Tan Par Maan Kiya Aur Man Ki Mail Na Dhoi

WORLD CUP PAR MAAN KIYA AUR 3 ASHES KI HAR AB DHOI
Sukh Ke Sab Saathi...

JEET KE SAB SAATHI...

Finally the Mighty Aussies have fallen and the cricketing world is really celebrating. In one of my earlier Post (http://rajatsfunnybone.blogspot.com/2010/10/aswathama-hato-naro-va-kunjaro.html), I had written about the Aussies fall and why the world loves taking pot shots at them. What is really amazing is that now Australian Media is also R.I.P.-ping Pointing. Ricky has been nothing but arrogant in his entire career. This arrogance has been the artifact of the Australian Team’s success. Though he has contributed to the Australian Team’s Dream run for last decade but it’s mostly been a team effort. Now with the big guns gone and young talent not playing to its potential the tables have surely turned.

People are gunning for his captaincy but I feel he should remain captain and play. I may sound anti-nationalist by saying this but hear me out. He still has best captaincy record, so with a few more loses that will even out. Also with a few more loses, his ego will be “massaged” in the perfect way. Play or no play, Captain or no Captain, I will say that keep on the R.I.P.-ping coz “I AM LOVING IT”

P.S. - I would like to add that like a true Indian supporter I am ecstatic with the Indian Team’s victory but the official word is “SHHHHH” else I will jinx the win and the series. 

30 Die Khan

It’s the 24^th night and the world is partying. What did I do? I went to see Tees Maar Khan so that I could write a blog for you. Its 3 in the night and I am writing the review for you. Please do read it (if you have a life {unlike me}, then I do understand you would have a 1000 things to do in this festive season, so its ok.)

Now let’s talk about TMK. Hmmm and after even more hmmm, I would say that I was slightly disappointed with the movie. This is coming from me who is probably the most tolerant guy when it comes to comedy (I even ventured and saw Bombay to Goa {the one with all the stand up artists} in the cinema hall {yes it is one of my 3 mistakes of my life}). Movie was okay but with Farah Khan, I did expect a lot more. I do remember the comedy in OSO was really top notch.

In today’s time when there is a debate for what audience is the movie made, TMK’s 1^st half exclusively caters to the lower stall or what we call the masses, lot of eestyle, loud costumes, totally random flow of sequence, sudden jump to songs and lots of pelvic and busty thrust. (Yeah! In this movie Farah has invented a new step busty thrust). This half is quite enjoyable and kind of set the tone for the 2^nd half.   

The 2^nd half goes a bit slow. Just when you start to enjoy the life and meanness of the con man, suddenly the director decides to do “daku bana devta” (term inspired by KKKG’s ‘Poo bani parvati’). In all hindi con movies, the hero must have a heart of gold and must have a reason to do what he does. So in order to justify the hero, movie takes a slow turn. But to the credit of Farah Khan, she did not overdo it. Now let’s come to the climax.

The acting of Akshay Kumar and Khanna were really good. Akshay Khanna has never seemed so smooth in a comedy in spite of doing quite a lot of them. Akshay Kumar can do such roles in his sleep now. But he was not the actor who had to put in least effort. Katrina almost played the real self in the movie. She is a HOT bimbo trying to act in the movies. She shows up in the sets only to vanish for ‘make-up’. She delivers a dialogue or two and does a bit of over acting before breaking into a dance sequence.

Oh! If you are wondering why I did not write anything about the climax in the end of the above para, it is because I am yet to decide what, where and when was the climax. The movie ends quite abruptly. During the last half hour (can’t say the climax as I don’t know what was the climax), there was a robbery scene, followed by a court room scene, followed by a movie premier scene. Last scene was about the revenge that was actually built up in these 3 scenes but the revenge scene just ends before it starts. Irony is that it’s a Farah Khan movie and both the direction and editing of this movie is really sad. Movie ends with a song “people like happy ending”. Farah signs off the movie in her signature style of showing all the cast and crew of the movie in yet interesting way.

So the verdict? What? Are you really hoping that I am going to give stars and pronounce a verdict like a film critic?

I am not giving any verdict but I would just leave a food for thought that I firmly believe that the humour in movies which are not made as out and out comedy have better comedy than ones which are made as out and out comedy

Cricketing Bonanza .... cont.

Well, last 10 days was definitely not the start of the Cricketing Bonanza we were looking forward to. For most of us both the results of the last test matches (between Aus Vs Eng and Ind Vs SA) have been disappointing. It was just not the results but the matches itself were so one sided and boring. 

India loosing was almost expected (I am sure die hard optimistic fans would disagree) but such spineless counter attack was very disheartening. Sachin's 50th test ton was only silver lining. Little hopes have risen after the way India batted in 2nd innings. If India can bat this way for rest 4 innings we will surely not loose any more match. Dhoni rightly said, "to win a test match you need to take 20 wickets" and so far I don't see our bowling attack having that potency. Zaheer's return will make an impact or not we will see. Down under, Aussies have also tasted blood with the last win. I hope England can motivate themselves by remembering the 1st 2 matches of the series and erase the last one from memory as a bad dream. Ashes is also hotting up though would have liked to see England sweep the series. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to see the real cricketing bonanza in the next 2 weeks.  

2. . . . . 0. . . . . 1. . . . . 0

Well the year is coming to an end and now is the time when you do the audit of the year. The 1^st thing that comes to my mind about 2010 is probably the state of affairs of the global economy. 2010 started with a lot of pessimism about the global economy. There was this fear of failure of European Countries and Middle Eastern Countries. In the 2^nd half of the year things started to improve. Although there is this fear of double dip recession but at the year end overall the feeling is good and may be, just may be 2010 will be remembered as the year when things turned around.

Indian economy was also trying to stand tall after the blow in last 2 years. Indian markets have been blossoming for  last 18 months and this year GDP numbers have started to back the bull rally. Indian growth and prosperity have been so huge that this year we have unearthed scam worth lakhs of crores of rupees. (Common Wealth Games and 2G spectrum allocation scam)  When economy rises the scale of corruption must also rise afterall the countries success is measured by its scam size. Today India's tax payers have that much money that we can sponsor such big Ghotalas. Ab yeh sab ke baad chara ghotala, bofors and other ghotalas seems so chindi. Talking of chara ghotala, apne Lalu ji ka bahut yaad aata hai,specially since he has almost disappeared from the limelight. 

Once a reporter asks Lallu ji: "Lallu ji aap kehte the jab tak samose mein aloo tab tak Bihar main hai Lallu. to kya huwa."

Lallu ji replies: "bak burbak... sahi to kheta hoon ... magar aaj kal samosa bhi to chinese banne laga to jab samosa mein hi nahi hoga aloo to bihar mein kaise hoga laloo."

(the above joke is patented by me)

I feel by far this year did belong to the Indian Sports. We had an excellent run at the CWG and Asian games. In Cricket we held on to No 1 test team status (but after SA series don't know for how long). In ODIs also we did good. We almost have the no 1 female Badi champ. In tennis Paes and Bhupatti have tied knot again for 2011 and some bright stars are also shinning. We did exceptionally well in sport and beat Pakistan almost every time but Pakistan took the final honors with winning away our Sania.

I guess more on 2010 later .... for now Chao 

CRICKETING BONANZA

For all the cricket fans the good times are just around the corner (block the dates of 16^th - 26^th Dec, 26^th – 30^th Dec and 2^nd – 6^th Jan). The top 4 of test playing nations will be sweating it out in 2 respective series. The rankings as of date are:

1^st -      India

2^nd -     South Africa

3^rd -      England

4^th -      Australia

The ranking for the season will be sealed at the end of the series. India can be dethroned only if the loose the series 3 – 0 and Australia can claim the 3^rd spot only if they win the Ashes. England is currently leading the Ashes with score line of 1 – 0, but with 3 matches to go anything is still possible.

It will be truly amazing if the English team takes away the Ashes this year. It will mark the emergence of the New English team (who btw had won the T20 world cup too) and highlight the vulnerability of the Mighty Aussies. For the records, the Aussies have lost 4 of last 5 test matches they played with 1 being a draw. From Indian prospective also its better that England wins the series as then the whole race between Pointing Vs Sachin might officially be over with the axing of the Australian skipper.

Now moving on to The Biggest Series of the year, India vs. SA (Star Cricket Channel is showing an ad about how huge the Ashes are but I guess that ad is applicable to this series). A lot is at the stake as we will get to know if the Dhamakedhar Dhoni is actually invincible or not. Many people have asked the question; does Indian team deserve to be no 1 team? Well I guess because of lack of a formidable contender yes we are. South African team have always chocked when it mattered the most. I recall some 2 – 3 years back there were in a position to take the no 1 rank from Australian team with a series win in the home but they lost out then to Australia. This time around SA need to win all 3 games and that is a tall task. All I ask from the Indian team is we win one match and loose the series 2 – 1. May be we are lucky and a miracle happens and we draw the series. Isse jyada ki umeed hi nahi hai. Also to look out for will be Sachin’s 50^th Test century.

Munni Vs Shiela

Hi guys, me is back again! Actually too many things were happening so the writer in me got lost for a while but maine usse khoj hi liya. There are quite a few things that I wish to share. I want to share my amazing vacation to Bali. I want to do movie reviews for the movies I saw in the last one month but I guess moment has passed. Cricket analysis and my “expert opinion” is also due specially since the Indian team is doing well and more importantly the Aussies are doing so pathetically. (There is this sadistic satisfaction whenever you see Australia loose. The feeling was same when Pakis lost but now you never know if they have actually lost or just made money out of it.)

But I am going to speak about a very controversial topic, a very hotly debated topic doing the rounds, who is better Munni or Shiela? I had got a forward which I am sharing with you:

Although the above points are very thoroughly researched and articulately put across but how can you forget that “Munni .... Amiya se Aam hui aur Cinema Hall hui... darling ke liye. A lot of differences have been pointed out but has anyone seen the similarity? The similarity is SALMAN KHAN. Imagine a question being asked to him: “Sallu Bhai aapko kaun jyada hot lagti hai, aapki girl friend ya aapki bhabhi?” (Actually this may be a hot topic in Sallu’s  bedroom)

Attached is the song from where the Munni Song has been inspired. (something I have been promising to share with my friends but never got to do it)

Warning: Contains Vulgar Language.
