Rotting Taste Buds

Are my taste buds rotting or is it something queer with the rank listers at the box office! A quick peek on the movies recently released and the public reviews seemed probably a revealation of an outcome not really mature.

Movies like Omkara , received unfair reviews despite it being one of the intelligently filmed ones, to go along with is Corporate. Saif's acting has gone way beyond adulations. A show stealer with his trendy (it was indeed) outfits, and filthy language, and much better role than the pink boy in Salaam Namaste! The story lines, enactment, cinematography, direction all of which deserve accolades don't seem to be receiving the appropriate audience to appreciate its apt display. On the other hand, a movie like Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, receives all the hype and amusement, though being a non-entertainer. Is this the outcome of a stereotyped audience who jus can't digest the nuances being pulled in, the creativity enamoured!!

Wake up crowd! Its time we matched ourselves globally!

Honker Maniac

Placidly Seated on the eighth floor, and unfortunately by a windscreen which isn't soundlocked, I wonder why people are so excited to honk their lungs out. Perhaps, it's instinctively Indian. An allegation of course because the same set of Indians dont honk if they're driving when they're on the roads of Dubai, Singapore or any other country. Is this an action to display a sense of belonging, or is it taken for granted that they can do so for having paid an exorbitant tax!!
I'm begun imagining, what if horns were banned in India, rather, I'd be pleased if horns were banned for a few days jus like the blogs were banned!! Peaceful would be an understatement then. It isn't really difficult, its more of a lifestyle cult these days.
Existence in a not so fast city like Hyderabad has got me to be concerned, I empathize the state of those in either Mumbai or Delhi!! Perhaps, those unacustommed to following traffic rules, or those who're perpetually in a hurry need to be insinuated with some sense as to when to honk, or do they think they're the only ones who drive!!
Accordingly, driving the roads of Dubai, though one faces the lumps of getting packed in a traffic jam, one hardly notices the annoying honkering all around. Its understood that, there is a jam upfront and the nuisance needn't be multiplied!! Moreover, its a nasty remark on another when one honks o'there.
I sometimes wonder what the extent of globalisation should be!! Should it gyrate only around industries, politics, and economics or shud it shudder itself to smaller captivities like this!!
Hmm... cotton plugs come of help this day!! My bike's horn has gone for a toss thanks to the bike getting drenched in the rains!! Am i not glad Jason's annoyed too

Indulgence Helps

It's been a while since I've worked sincerely, and this honest confession I wudn't make in front of my boss. Perhaps, my priorities were different, perhaps, I didn't want to work, perhaps, Orkut was that big an excuse!!

Distraction and dillusion are rather cognitive pests that rupture productivity and lot of business as well. Maturity is a cat-call then, and thats why these aren't accounted for during the estimates that are prepared during task scheduling.
I'm out of it, trying new things, the way they should be, rugged and dedicated!! I'm counting on every move I make, and every breath I take!! An involuted messaih has cradled a desire to display social ethics and determination!!
I'm glad the awakening happened this early, I shouldn't be complacent though...
