Meri Jaan, humble apologies for the delay in posting the new blog. "Woh kahte hain na, ke main deyr karta nahin - deyr ho jaati hain."
My sincere thanks to all of you for bringing all your intensity and passion to this blog and tuning in with all your fervour.
So, let's begin this month's blog with a "Katot täftxu-oel" to all you Avatar'ed's.
(Is that really a word?)
Incase you are still a nubee to Planet Pandora, in Na'vi dictionary that means - "Greetings" Meri Jaan!Once again - Katot täftxu-oel !
Well, word or not, If a Terminator converted everyone into a fan-inator and Titanic mesmerized all into becoming titani-cians, James Cameron's new flick Avatar has created a whole new fan world of Nu'vi's, Toruk's and home tree worshippers.
So, whether you did or did not believe the story of man setting foot on moon, or if you changed or did not change your PC wall papers to the shuttle that kept running all over mars, you better believe in this PANDORA's Box and its Princess Nyitri!!Meri Jaan, if you have still not seen this flick, atleast go see it one time to see the visual splendor created in a movie that has production costs equivalent to the annual GNP/GDP of Lithuania :)
And - LITHUANIA is not a Na'vi word !
Moving beyond "Din-Mahiney-Saal" (Not funny people)If Avatar was about a Paradise - lost to our Greed, the disaster in Haiti was a sign of the omnious.
Like I mentioned in my last post, YOU KNOW NOT WHAT IS COMING !!!
Haiti's earthquake should be a wake up call to all you waiting for the next moment; please do not wait, for THERE IS NO NEXT MOMENT.
Call up your loved ones, apologize for any hurt feelings, reach out to someone you love and/or who is in need, do it today - for there may be no tomorrow.That paradise is lost for ever - 3 million people injured in a population of 5 million.
Not to forget the real and surreal dust that has accumulated in the hearts and lungs of rest of them. This has to be one of the most horrific disasters that I have seen after 9/11.
Meri Jaan, but you please Do'nt wait - do'nt lose your chance to make your paradise ! Jo bhi karna hain woh aaj karo! Remember that song - Har Ghadi badal rahee hain roop zindagi, jo hain aaj samaa - woh kal ho na ho !
Talking about Kal Ho Na Ho, I recently saw promos of Shahrukh's new movie "My Name is Khan" and it seemed like a mixed version of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Forrest Gump".
While Kajol definitely appeared effervescent- as usual, Apna SRK kept up the lame look- as usual. The movie will definitely hit the bullz-eye not only for SRK and Kajol but the music seems kewl too.I really love the Sufi sound of Tera Sajdaa and the Naina song. Kudos to the team of SEL! Good luck KJO, you did not have to say it, we know that your name is Khan - Mrs. Khan :)
With that people pump up your Bollywood spirits for the New Year! Rann from Pyaar Impossible and if you meet Ravan, be Veer and do some Rajneeti. Just one Guzarish that Don2 get into Action Replay for Teesmaar Khan will take the Kites from your Dhobi Ghaat.
Ishquiya Nahin if you dint get the above, we will talk more about it next time.
Meri Jaan, till we meet next , dont wait to reach out to your near and dear ones, keep them loved, you stay safe and always stay in loeve !!
- Pankaj
