H.W.Longfellow...

The day is done.
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.

I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist.
And a feeling of sadness comes o’er me,
That my soul cannot resist.

A feeling of sadnrss and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
as mist resembles the rain.

Come,read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this feeling,
And banish the thoughts of the day.

Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
From the corridors of time.

For, like strains of martial music,
As their mighty thoughts suggest
Life’s endless toil and endeavour
And tonight I long for rest.

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart
Like showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from eyelids start.

Such songs have power to quiet
This restless pulse of care
And come like benediction
That follows after the prayer.

Then read from treasured volume
The poem of thy choice
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.

And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like Arabs

And as silently stealth away...

summer deliriums.......

Its mid-June and it is yet to rain,

avenues waiting to get stray .

Dazed with delirium i look outside ;
copper of the sun shines on concrete lane....

da rang de effect...

Whats RDB???
RDB stands for..
Youth against da curruption
Youith against da conventions
Youth against da justice-denial
Youth acting for da nation..

and so on and so forth...
no sarcasm included...for ppl nowadays take every other sentence of mine for a sarcastic comment,..i may be a bit dejected but still am composed!

Why do i talk about da movie after so many days...perhaps months after its release????got many reasons here:
B'coz yess 1)it has made a big time buster..at the same time 2)i am not completely satisfied by da kinda atention it got and is still getting..n most importantly3)i am trying to kill time on a wednesday evening by posting this.

Not that da movie doesnt deserves appreciation...its one of its kind and very effective...yess effective is da word i used at first when someone asked me how did i like the movie!!!So we are here in new age ...age of youth.References from recent anti-reservation surge loudly proves that not only movies reflect on society,da opposite also holds true!

Well, da thought that's itching me time and again is..............if Indian audiences are cool/smart/intelligent/watever u 'd like to put/.. to have put a movie of this sort to da top of charts for so long,then what were they doing at da time "Yuva" was released:????
It did have violence....well not da heroic kind that RBD displayed(son killin his unpatriotic father)...but a more realistic one,where power(political) forces a man to kill his brother(Abhishek Bachan)....
It did have students protesting...in a more unfashionable way though!!!but again there still was da required vigour...
It did have songs...though lesser..rocking nevertheless...(hey when do u think word "fanaah" rocked da floors first?)
What "Yuva" lacked was emotions...it lacked da positive picture of "India Today"..it showed da real picture...something that audiences know already...da disunited country,where youth like Vivek Oberei is lost to casual joys of life,..and Abhishek-alikes to da powerful leaders for his livelihood.May be i shouldn't compare da two here...but cant help to notice da starkest discrimination that public in the theatre offer at da end of da movies......
In RBD :youngsters die and public cry,literallyyyy ,and not just girls !
In Yuva:ppl get baffled when Ajay Devgan walks into parliament wid vivek and other guy!(which indicates da foray of Indian youth into politics).ppl look at each other in disbelief: "is the movie over!?!?!"maybe they are waiting for a gd ending,shud be either happy or sad as they have always known.shud be anything but realistic...
uuffffff...expectations from hindi movies!
So do ppl actually reflect on movies.....or is it just da emotions that sells in India?
Kindly reflect on this....

Getting fanaah for nothing....

tere dil main meri saaso ko panhaa mil jaaye ,
tere ishq main meri jaan fanaah ho jaaaye..

Subhaan allah!!! One of the reasons i gave myself before going to the movie,was that if not anything ,it looks like da movie has some good shayeries.And i wasn't totally wrong...
Check this..

mujhe masjid main baithkar peene ki rajha dede eh gaalib
yaa toh koi aisi jagaah dikha jahaan khuda nahi hota..

Means...DEAr Gaalib!Grant me da permission to drink(alcohol ofcourse) in da Mosque "or"..show me a place where God doesnt exists!

Sans few of the shayeries,...the movie wasn't worth a watch !The story was plotted loosely..i mean typical of hindi movies...Aamir comes on Kajol's door after getting encountered by army...itefaaque(coincidence) ki baat hai!!(lol)

But they well managed da finer details n technicalities..like only Amir sees both of them in flashback,not Kajol(she ought not,being blind earlier).While Amir is uncomfortable while talking to her in second half of da movie,she only gets a dejavoo kind of feeling.It was nice to se Kajol back on Big screen after years(she looks da same)...though Amir dint exactly made impactful insight...okay considering his lately accumulated fats,he did have some impact on audience who went..."How did he become so fat and look he's looking older."(his fans defending him:"they made him wear thick sweaters and stolls!!").....everyone wins!!

What made the experience bad ,was that i knew da story beforehand...thanx to da hype n publicity da movie got for being held-back from release in Gujrat by BJP.So here i was towards the end of da movie...waiting for Kajol to shoot another bullet and finish da matter quickly.Loooooooooong wait.Mom and I come out of screen and take a rik(frm Eternity)...
And our F-1 paced driver was kind enough to put brakes to save us from bumping to some other vehicle,just when we were at a seconds distance from it.....and this he repeated thrice !!!
How do riksha-walas justify their mistakes...or ill-driving?Well its quite simple,they simply give a long stare to da approaching vehicle(which means abuse of greatest rank among rikshawalas) and come out clean!

Having reached LokPuram in single-piece,(got down at earliest gate)...I said to mom "AAj tumahri Zoonie(also Kajol's name in da movie) binah kisi shehjaade ke fanaah ho jaati!!"My mom had da kind of look on her face ..similar to da one some of u are having right now...And my dialogue got wasted.

she hadnt yet learnt what fanaah stands for: to get destroyed!
