Shooting from the hip !!!


Some media interviews are really funny. Stuck inside my apartment on a snowy day, I was going through some old book-marks and I came across a really funny interview of Ismail Durbar, the once famous music composer who has given us the hit tunes of "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam".

In a 2 part series on Rediff, he makes some really outrageous claims !! Read the whole 2 part to get the laugh of your life, My work is better than Rahman. The second part of the series is at "History will be created".

Ismail Durbar was again in the controversy recently again for his
shenanigans
on the popular Zee TV show, SareGama. He reportedly got into a tuff with Aadesh Srivastva and other people on the show.

When ability is not there or not correctly reflected, make it up by greater visibility seems to be the strategy.

I just love this kind of publicity trash-talk like when B Basu waxes on the role of a lifetime in Apaharan where her total screen time was 3 minutes.

[anon] Thanks for dropping by !! Yes, some interviews are really really funny, but this one takes the cake. i was actually "priviledged" to view a couple of episodes of Saregama and it was hilarious that way Aadesh Srivatsva and Ismail Durbar behaved !!

[Hiren Shah] Thanks for dropping by. You are bang on target. Everyone seems to do it, but Ismail Durbar goes one step further and shouts from the rooftop.

[vurdlak] You can drop me an email at ujval.gandhi@gmail.com if something comes up on your front. Sorry could not help you.

[GreatBong] Somehow it is the actresses who have to go full mode on "how good the role is". We will let B Basu slip this past, after all she has done enough for us "demented" souls :D

Outsourcing - the new wave !!

First they outsourced their customer service, then their market research analysis, then teaching and then some more....... Well, if Time is to be believed, the day is not far when we have the US Army outsourcing its 'war on terror' to where else ? - INDIA !! What do these "soldiers" get - US Citizenship. According to "Fast Track" in the August 7, 2006 issue of Time. "When President Bush visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center last week to witness three U.S. soldiers seriously wounded in Iraq become U.S. citizens, he said that "if somebody's willing to risk their lives for our country, they ought to be full participants in our country." It was an executive order signed by Bush four years ago that allowed this trio, and 35,000 like them, to petition for U.S. citizenship as soon as they donned a U.S. military uniform, instead of waiting the customary three years. So far, 26,000 of them have achieved that goal. Be it patriotism or the easier p...

The Dragon vs the Tiger

Image
China may win the sprint, but India will win the marathon. I am often asked, the Dragon Vs Tiger comparisons between China and India. India is always equated with a submissive tiger (or worse, as an elephant !!!). It is true that China heads a great manufacturing empire. Foreign companies pour billions of dollars in China. Everyone from car companies to turbine manufacturers wants a heads-up in China by establishing their own manufacturing concerns there. Foreign investment, both direct and indirect, coupled with availability of plenty of natural resources and cheap labor has propelled the 'Made in China' tag to each and every part of our lives. It is extremely tough to obtain any item anywhere nowadays which does not have the 'Made in China' tag. The main question to be asked it " What if 21st century dollars are being put into a 20th century power? " Politically, China is controlled with an iron fist by communists who want to maintain the status quo at all ...

There is no defense of IIPM and its high handed techniques. To summarize Patrix (of DesiPundit fame), the core issue here is FREEDOM. In this age where we increasingly take this simple word for granted, what IIPM is doing and has been trying to do is to take away one thing we have which is truly ours and that is FREEDOM, particularly freedom of expression , freedom of choice, the ability and the opportunity to point out flaws in an argument without losing sense of rationality.
