Good Morning to all fellow blogger. Mojgan, I have also read that Aamir got no problem in working with SRK and he knows that its a one hell of a task for a director, to come up with a script where these two come up with the best. Once long back Rajkumar Santoshi did planned a movie taking these two and that movie was supposed to be remake or Indian version of Milos Forman 'Amadeus'. Since then no one ever dared to think in those line. The problem is that SRK always loved to work under control environment; he oozes confidence when he works with his buddies and Aamir doesn't give a damn to his buddy list and he can gamble and go with a newcomer but then SRK will always be edgy, as he lacks confidence when he has to excel in uncharted territory.

Well I do agree with you of getting sick and tired of repeated post of SRK'S great performance in Chak De India. Even sometime back I praised the SRK performance on this movie. The fact is, this is the best performance by him as an Actor in last few years. The last performance by him was for Swades, so people are talking about it. Where as Aamir is of different league and every movie of his is a showcase in itself. One good and big news for Filmfare People that they will be quit pleased to give him best actor award 2007 ..lol.lol.lol.lol

Hello Every body, I am reading the posts here of some of the blogger I do know and some are new one here. I would like to mention that certain people are coaxing, rather unnecessary batting for FILMFARE and I don’t understand how the hell it matters to Fans or a Person if Filmfare is sued or not or Aamir could make it to the power list of Filmfare? It’s almost childish! I am afraid it seems some people are using this blog as more a fan of Filmfare than Aamir and using this platform to plead him to come back into Filmfare stable. I have already some where here wrote regarding this and I am of the view its none of our business as we are not known to whole facts of the matter. So my request is to those people who are keep repeating and batting for Filmfare here, please layoff.

For some time I am visiting this site and reading all the post here and try to say some thing worth while but after few lines I find nothing intelligent to write so I drop off. And the reason I could make out is that many people are not making any useful contribution here but are rather being personal, which I think is not required at all. I am not disrespecting any one views but I do wanted to register my protest here

I never expected you to be that fast and there was no need for that too.. any way keep it up and my one sane advice to you don’t put too much of money on the publicity of Tare Zameen Per let it grow through mouth to mouth publicity as the subject is one where one should not make it too hard to pull viewer inside the theaters

172.pushker awasthi....@adeela Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 12:24:29 PM

Adeela, I am afraid to contradict you, yours information is not correct, this eyes observation was made by Ashutosh the director of the movie. I have an observation that the real reason Ashutosh didnt went for her,Nandita Sen, was because he thought she is too expressive to steal the show from the English character, who was in love with Bhuvan

134.pushker awasthi...@Mojgan Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 10:08:35 AM

You are right in a way as far Hey Babby is concern but the problem is that you cant expect role like Parneeta always, when you are a newcomer and you got to take and make best of it what is made available to you. But I do hope she will make smart move in future. As far Konkana Sen, considered for Gajani is concern I am not sure about that, what I know that an actress called Gul Panag was considered for the role first, she is the same actress who did a wonderful job in Nagesh Kukunoor movie 'Dor'. Yes I would like to see Aamir working along with Konkana Sen. Do you know Aamir wanted Nandita Sen for Lagaan for the role which later went to Gracy Singh but got to surrender against Ashutosh Gowarikars vision of a Gauri? Here I really wished Aamir had put his foot down and went ahead with his vision of Gauri as Nandita Sen was the perfect choice for Lagaan.

128.Pushker Awasthi..@Sorry Ammendment Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 9:36:30 AM

Sorry I mugged up with the title in my previous post the movie is called "ON THE WATERFRONT" where as I have written ' All Quit At Waterfront', I messed the tittle with one of the all time kind classic a world war1 movie 'ALL QUIT AT WESTERN FRONT'. Sorry for the mistake.

126.Pushker awasthi...@Mira Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 9:29:47 AM

Mira don't hesitate go watch Gulam and The Rising. Rani should not be the reason for you not to watch these movies. Yes Gulam is inspired from Ellia Kazan's 'All Quit At Waterfront' but that shouldn't be a problem, it will be interesting to watch Aamir to relive the role the Great Marlon Brando played with his mumbling dialogue delivery. As far The Rising is concern, much criticism has been harped on this movie and some of are justifiable too but then it’s a better work than most of Hindi movies which are made. Here for you @Majgon...the movie which Konkana Sen is sharing with Rani is called 'Laga Chuneri Mein Daag', and post review tells that its an author backed role for Rani were she essayed the journey of a Kothewali from Banaras to New York. Rani is good may be not brilliant as she needs a strong role and good handling from the director to give her best. But Konkana Sen is brilliant, so far she never faulted with her performance. And yes Vidya Balan is a classic Indian beauty and very expressive face to come up with all kind of pathos and jubilation. I think in coming 5 years she will be top in her field

120.Pushker Awasthi....@WELCOME BACK Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 9:07:09 AM

Hello Aamir, it was nice to see you back and resurfacing after 10 day, no need to apologies for yours absence and anyway people keep throwing up interesting subjects concerning you that yours presence is always there. Well hope to hear from you soon with some interesting in put, bye

1447.pushker awasthi...@Mira Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 9:14:51 AM

Mira I have seen her in Devil Wear Parada and Angels In America, and i loved her in that too, I deliberately didn't mentioned her latest work as every one knows about it but I wanted to smell the fragrance of past of which people might have no clue about it. I have missed some of the movies name but that was unintentional

1435.Pushker Awasthi...@@Mira Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 11:28:30 PM

WOW what a name you just finley printed!!!!!!! Meryl Streep!!!!! Mira she is my crush and I am in Love with that lady along with Goldie Hawn since 1981 when I first saw her in 'Kramer vs Kramer' an absolute dynamite and some one who apart being very beautiful is full off volcanic talent. She got an Oscar for Kramer vs Kramer were her role has grey shade as she walks of her husband but then she do generate soft feeling from the audience despite she been pitted against the one of the greatest actor he have Dustin Hoffman. I loved and wept when I saw her in Sophia's Choice, French lieutenants Woman, Out Of Africa, Silkwood , The Bridges of Madison County, Ironweed, Deer Hunter, Julia etc

1431.Pushker Awasthi..@@Tom Hanks Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 11:10:16 PM

I read some one talking about Tom Hanks and his performance in Da Vinci Code. I agree with him that in this movie Tom Hanks really seems to be very out of touch. Some how the magic was not there and he misjudged the character and played it very shabby. And for this I blame director for that. How some one could mess with such a talent? He guided the character in a wrong direction. This happened with Aamir too, he was greatly a let down in Mela and Mann by the directors. I know one thing that Aamir do fight tooth and nail, when a character is build up in the movie but ultimately he surrenders too the will of a director. Many directors have criticized him for that, notably are Mahesh Bhatt and RVG and both are megalomaniac, and there is a difference between an egoistic person and megalomaniac.

1422.pushker awasthi....@RAKH@ Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 9:55:01 PM

Well I am lucky few who has seen Rakh directed by Aditya Bhattacharya son of great director Basu Bhattacharya, this movie was based in future and who ever, ever have a doubt about he being some one who should be tagged as a GREAT ACTOR AS WELL AS A GREAT STAR, please watch this movie as this was right after QSQT and you will be amazed what kind of phenomena is taking birth right in front of yours eyes. I had seen this movie when it was released; I am quoting a review here to prove my point. ### "This movie is said to be the second movie of Aamir Khan and one really cannot believe that a movie-old actor can do such justice to his role.Aamir Khan stars as Aamir Hussain Khan(his real name),who gets into a fight with a hoodlum and as a result his ex-girlfriend(Supriya Pathak) gets raped.Aamir accuses himself for his ex's rape and decides to kill everyone who was involved in the rape issue.Meanwhile a cop(Pankaj Kapur) is also fed up of these hoodlums and therefore after looking at aamir's anger against them decides to help him out. Aamir Khan and Pankaj Kapur do whole hearted justice to their roles and Supriya Pathak also does good in the small role she has.If you wanna watch a romantic movie with hero and heroine running around the trees,this isn't your cup of tea.However if you want to watch an excellent movie with realistic touch,watch this movie as soon as possible"###.

1379.pushker awasthi....@Jaz Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 3:28:08 PM

Yes you are right and I agree 100% with you that I been harsh in my language and I dont post here for fun, for me its more a exchange of views and if some thing interesting comes up and I think I can give an input, then I do give my views

1370.Pushker Awasthi....@RituRaj Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 2:30:08 PM

Well Ritu Raj ,I am not sure if you, while commenting ‘the actor who played the waiters role in Rangeela had a right expression and he might be a better actor than Aamir and what a big deal!’, you wanted to come up with a slapstick comedy or you really testing the nerve of people like me who are serious movie buff? Gentleman I don’t give a damn if that actor came out with a right expression or not with that one liner but to compare with some one who in the last 20 years carried movies and characters with such perfection, despite carrying the aura of a STAR doesn’t merit such comparison. No Sir I couldn’t agree with you on this account. RVG who had made the comments been never been consistent with his work and his choices in his film journey been more a fall than walking tall. So he can have his Babban and stuff it in his ass , who the hell cares any way?

1354.Pushker Awasthi......Gujarat and Narmada Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 at 9:52:59 AM

I have read some one post who wanted me to say some thing about Narmada issue. I am not an authority in that matter nor I am some political commentator. I am some one who is a concern Indian and who strongly believes that whole matter was blown out of proportion. Narmada Issue is an sensitive issue for Gujarati people and they have shown their resentment but to drag this thing along, doesn't make sense to me at all! Aamir Khan made comment which is reasonable that every displaced person should be compensated before they are displaced and he was lead to believe, as I believed it too, that Govt. been insensitive and they been not compensated but now things are over and I haven't heard him say again any thing in support of them or against the Narmada Project. So its high time Gujarat political goons should not inflame the sentiment of Gujarati public against him in this matter and I SINCERELY REQUEST TO THE PEOPLE OF GUJARAT TO BE TOLERANT AND SHOW SOME KIND OF COMPASSION AND FORGIVE AND FORGET THE WHOLE ISSUE. I also appeal Mr. Modi to be more forthright and be large hearted in this matter, as he been to us when we deal him in regular basis. I know you are sensitive too and you have deep distrust with fly by night assented 5 star political commentators but then Aamir Khan doesn't belong to that club. Hope some sanity prevails and things end up to logical end.

1314.pushker awasthi...@Pavani Nimbagiri Posted on Monday, September 03, 2007 at 4:45:57 PM

I don't understand why there is a problem if Aamir has sued those Filmfare people? Its his personal matter and I don think one can say much on it. Filmfare I have stopped reading as I don't think it’s a very fair movie journal anymore. I don't think you have read, Filmfare people used derogatory language while identifying Aamir Khan, as a midget actor and they keep on harping such language. I salute Aamir for not getting bulldozed by the coerce blackmail tactics adopted by journalists from Filmfare stable, to bring back him into there fold. Do you know what kind of money, gifts and favors these stars and other film industry people give them to write about themselves and promote them? All Filmfare Awards are sham bought by people who do entertainment on there stage or big production houses who buy those awards. Bravo Aamir for not to bow to this kind of yellow journalism.

1312.Pushker Awasthi....##Is This Is A Platform Posted on Monday, September 03, 2007 at 4:33:47 PM

Last 2 post I have read which deals quit lengthy on the merit or demerit of reservation in education as well jobs. Reservation is a problem I know that as being a upper cast Brahmin we been at the receiving end but this is life! The reservation factor is more deadly at cast level than at Minority level. How many do you thing people from Minority do get benefited with that? Education is a very vital part for the development of new Indian Society and you got to agree with that at education level much is needed to be done and that includes Minority too. This wont matter much in time to come as good brains will not need government jobs and only second grade brains will need that security and Nation will be pulled up by some one who is good. It won’t matter if he comes through reservation or not. And its better the best brains who aren't getting into those educational institute or government jobs will strike out on its own and no one can stop them to succeed. So bear this pain, as it’s not a permanent problem next generation will work out the things in their own way.

1295.Pushker Awasthi....@@Michelle Posted on Monday, September 03, 2007 at 9:58:52 AM

Michelle Dil Chahata Hei is a minor classic in its own right as it redefined the projection of urban youth in India. I do remember the Opera scene and it was brilliant executed by Farhan Akhtar by using Opera as a back drop and moving camera on Pretty Zinta's lips as well Aamir's stunned, pleading and finally accepting the truth, eyes. But there is one more scene were he makes you cry ,were he takes you to the journey of loneliness and broken heart, this is the scene were he calls his father from his room and while talking to his father, he broke down in agony and frustration. You can feel each and every emotions churning in his heart.

1292.Pushker Awasthi.....Good Morning Posted on Monday, September 03, 2007 at 9:36:52 AM

Hello every one, so we are back after the weekend and started Monday with a disappointment as I was expecting to hear from Aamir Khan but it seem either he is taking an extended rest or busy with post production of his Tarre Zameen Pe. @Cheryle you are right about extending physical assistance in such calamities and I am sure people of the concern area must be doing it as one should not only expect the State Machinery alone to do the healing touch. @Gautam .... Aamir is not doing Lajjo with Mani Ratnam as the project got delayed due to Mani Ratnam not able to shoot at Rajahsthan in summer and the delay upset the future plans of Aamir. I heard from some body that there was some financial matter also involved in it. Any way I guess it s a big loss for Mani Ratanam as well Aamir's fan.

Some gentleman is very concern that Muslim all over are fighting, which is some how true too but tell me who isn’t fighting? In India do you think we Hindus aren’t fighting with each other in the name of caste, state and region? I am more concern on that. And frankly you should ask me what the hell we are doing that for? And frankly I don’t have a clue apart from blaming the stinking political scenario in present days. We are all intelligent people and who are doing materialistically very good and enjoying the economic success of India, then we fail to curb our own selfish deeds and unashamedly choose the path which bracket one, to his religion, caste, state and region.

1254.Pushker Awasthi.@let Aamir Be Himself! Posted on Sunday, September 02, 2007 at 4:21:08 PM

Hello good afternoon to you all.I have read some of the recent posts by people who are coxing Aamir Khan to take certain stand or asking him to give his views on sensitive issue like terrorism , Pakistan or Islam. I don’t think this is required at all from him. He is an Actor who is intelligent and sensitive, as well very choosey in expressing his views. Some how in recent past he developed his own identity As Aamir Khan a person, an Indian and really letting people know that HE is more than an actor , a responsible sensitive human being and he did tried to relive his believes by portraying strong nationalistic as well strong willed reactionary characters. He is giving us a glimpse of a brighter future and its up to us to handle it but in no way he is a Leader who jockeying for a Parliamentary Seat or looking for a Politics as his future profession. So please give this Gentleman a break and dont keep on asking his opinion on every subject and don’t dare to provoke him to come out with statement on every thing which you want him to say. Why one need his comment screaming that Pakistan breed terrorism? Why should he be apologetic for being a Muslim? Why his comment is needed on Muslim Appeasement in India in certain quarters? We all know the answers and we dont need him to affirm it here or any platform as we know what he stand for. I am a Hindu and one can say I may be Right centric too but it really hurts when tone of some of the post here, where unnecessarily people want Aamir to comment, where no comment is required. He has all the right to choose in which subject to speak or on which subject he need not bother to comment on it.

1238.pushker awasthi.@Laddy Posted on Sunday, September 02, 2007 at 8:01:06 AM

Thanks Laddy I never knew about Charles Boyer's 'Love Affair' I will look out for this one too. I love B/W movies and I am hooked to Turner Classic Movies channel just because of that. The first movie I saw of Charles Boyer was way in early 70's I think it was A Barefoot In The Park starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. And then after that I saw him as a Hero in Algiers,(1938) a classic in all respect.

1200.pushker awasthi....@Leni Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 11:37:12 PM

Well Lany you are fully free to express yours opinion and frankly there are people who did like Mann as a whole but my point was if some one has seen An Affair to Remember then that's the problem. I am a serious movie buff and I can always overlook mistakes when it comes to independent effort but certainly if you are copying some thing that to a Classical then I am sorry I dont have sympathizes. I have read some where Aamir Khan had said that when he was making Mann he didn’t knew that its an inspired from An Affair To Remember and he also said that Indra Kumar was not the right person to deal such subject.

1190.pushker awasthi.@Karana Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 8:11:18 PM

I am writing here to make an amendment. in the afternoon I wrote about Thorn Bird with Aamir in my mind. There I have said that Pradeep Sarksr seem to be closest thing which can handle that subject. But it was a mistake I guess as I really didn't thought much before using my fingers on the key board. One man only one man who can do justice to that story is Vishal Bharadwaj. I don't know if you people have seen all his work or not but till date in each of his film he has directed he has excelled himself in creating an atmosphere and creating fabulous characters. Who would have made Shakespeare so Indian? Either in Maqbool or Omkara? Who would have made Blue Umbrella? Here lesson is to be learned by Sanjay Bansali, he falter badly when he killed the soul of Devdas by making it in Opera style and didn't dared to Indianised Black.

1189.Pushker@Its Time For Aamir To Do Mature L Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 8:00:39 PM

Lots of Aamir's fan are discussing here in what kind of movie he should work and what kind of role he should do and this prompted me put a Question to all serious movie buffs here, DONT YOU THINK ITS HIGH TIME AAMIR SHOULD DO A MATURE LOVE STORY? His first movie as a hero was QSQT and it was a Love Story and after that pure love story which he did was Maan directed by Inder Kumar. Since then I dont remember if ever he worked in a pure Love Story. Now it’s a high time for him to do a Classic love story, we his fan, deserve it. QSQT is a classic in its own but Maan was such a bloody waste that after watching that movie I really wanted to slap Inder Kumar. How dare he made a mess of 'An Affair To Remember.? Maan was a awful adaptation or copy of Carry Grant classic 'An Affair To Remember'. I do have certain story in my mind which is part autobiographical and part imagination but I know it will be a waste of time to talk about it here. Any way, if you people have some thing serious to say about it then do write about it.

1188.pushker@Cheryle...@Sylvia Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 7:47:44 PM

Hey Cheryle Aamir Khan didnt went to jail its some one else with the same name so be in peace, it seem some one jumped too fast before the gun was fired. And Sylvia here I would like to tell you that in ‘Gulam’, Aamir did the train shot himself, no stunt man was used and he was commended as well criticized also for that too.

1170.pushker @Cheryle Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 4:35:57 PM

Well I am still racking my brain to remember a role where he has acted as a Christian! As far I remember he played the role once as a Muslim in 'Earth' by Deepa Mehta. As far PRIEST role is concern he can be any Priest of any religion, its up to the director to decide in which religion he is comfortable to handle this story of Thorn Bird.

1163.Pushker ...Thorn Bird & Karna Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 3:18:57 PM

Hello fellow blogers I was just going through the recent posts regarding Thorn Bird and Karana, its an interesting idea to talk about it. I have read Thorn Bird and I have watched the TV serial of the same name where Richard Chamberlain dons the role of the Priest. The character is a tormented one and I do agree with others that Aamir will do full justice to that role. The agony of love and the conflict with faith will be well understood and excuted by his body language and eyes. He is at the right age to execute the top of the form performance as a Priest. Only trouble is who will be the director to handle him? Yash Chopra could have done it but he stuck up in candy flog scenario and that I think will dilute the whole thing. This kind of movie is to be dealt sensitively and by some one who can feel a bleeding heart. Guru Dutt, Vijay Anand and even Raj Kapoor were the masters for such kind of movies. In recent time Pradeep Sarkar fits the bill who can handle this character. Pradeep Sarkar has directed Parneeta in recent time and he did a brilliant job but then I think, let him come up with another movie and then lets see if he can prove himself again or not..As far Karna is concern I do agree Aamir will be a wonderfull choice for this role but it has to be a central role, story should unfolds through Karna 's eyes itself but Sanajy Bansali is a very wrong choice as a director for this movie, if its ever ever made. I dont rate very high Sanjay Bansali and I will reserve my opinion till his latest 'Sawaria' is released. I know many people will not agree with me but I have a reason for that. The first and the foremost reason is that he has yet to make an original great movie. His 'Khamoshi a Musical' was a good effort and partly brilliant , he is always brilliant with his technique and camera work, but Hum Dil Dchuke Sanam was inspired from Woh Sat Din ,a damn good movie, Anil Kapoor, Naseerudin Shah and Padmini Kolhapuri played the central role which later played by Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai. Next came Devdas which was a remake again but it was in Opera style and this killed some of the sprit of the movie and then be made Black which is another remake and some how I m not able remember the movies name(The Miracle Worker?), its an English black and white movie where instead of Male Teacher there is a Female teacher and he borrowed the whole environment of convent and church into it. If he been such a great creator then he should have placed the same story in different environment but he was not sure of himself so I dont think he will do justice.

1124.pushker.@ Leni/Bulgaria Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 9:43:16 AM

No doubt Arshad Warsi is a very good actor and some how Circuit has merged with him so thick and skin that its hard for people to see him in different perspective. Watch his 'Sahar ', its a serious role and he did a commendable job.

1085.pushker @Cheryle Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 at 11:49:02 PM

Arshad Warsi is a good actor and some how he is having his good time in a comic roles and for good comic one doesn’t need to perform at his best with in controlled scenario. I firmly believe Circuit as a character doesnt need Sanjay Dutt, he can relive the role, with any one but Aamir would be the best for him to carry on at his best

I don't know how far you are exposed to Oldies of Bollywood but I will be glad to help you in seeking out old marvelous Gems from Bollywood and in that process I will my self enrich the experience again and rediscover the Magic

976.Pushker......@Cheryle Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 at 10:27:51 AM

Cheryle.......Aamir Khan has a fine timing to render a comic role. He can be straight poker faced nasty and then, he can deliver the punch line with a hilarious effect. You have mentioned 2 movies of his were you liked his comic part, here I would like to add that the original Tapori comic role was done by him only in a movie called Rangeela and no one has better essayed the role of a tapori with a comic element init. Circuit played by Arshad Varsi will be an excellent choice to team up with Aamir in any future comedy.

973.Pushker......@Idea Unique Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 at 9:44:08 AM

I have read yours blog regarding the best scene of Aamir Khan, like every actor, he has come up with heart wrenching scene, where the depth of the character blows up on the screen. I cant pin point a singular scene but time to time, I will try to write about my personal choices. The first scene which comes to my mind is from 'Rang De Basanti' where after the police action he comes back in to the room, all drenched in blood and sweet, and while eating food he starts talking about Soya Ali and breaks down and started crying in impotent rage and frustration. This shot was of 3 minutes and in whole those three minutes he rams you straight in your heart and you feel lump chocking in yours throat. He puts you right where he is and anger starts creeping in you. You may disagree with my choice but I liked it.

974.pushker awasthi.....##Mojgan Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 at 10:13:02 AM

Mojgan I read yours comment were you have suggested some one to watch 'Pyasaa' of Guru Dutt. What an excellent recommendation you have made! Here I would like to add up that full work of Guru Dutt should be recommended to every one who wants to realy know the Hindi Movie World. Guru Dutt's Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam, Kagaj Ke Phool and Chaudavi Ka Chand is a must see for any movie buff. In fact Guru Dutts work was the fine example of senstive cinema and his work was far ahead of his time.

I am reluctantly enjoying this blog, as people with different perspective are coming up with different views on different subjects and in the process some one like me enjoying the all shades of views as well emotions. Despite being liberal I cant digest some one commenting quite ugly on Rajnikant although I am from UP and not any die hard fan of his. Some one called Tabbu, I believe, come up with some below the belt comments for him, whoever she is , she may not like his appearance or his style of work or his kind of movies but there are millions who breath for him so Rajnikant cant be some one, you vomit yours comments in a prank or show yours own darker side to the world.

833.pushker awasthi...What’s the need to Compare? Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 at 10:33:06 AM

I firmly believe that there is no need to compare Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Sharukh Khan or for that matter any one else. Each individual is blessed with unique traits and we should enjoy them according to our own uniqueness. It’s damn difficult to mark them in numerical order or back lash some individual by comparing him to others.

777.Pushker Awasthi @Reply To IDEA UNIQUE POsted on Wednesday, August 29, 2007 at 11:59:05 PM

Well I was pleasantly surprised that some one did read the blog I posted last night covering Gujarat. What I wrote what I do believe is the correct picture I got from there. Aamir Khan, is a sensitive person and some how also the one who lock the door too fast. He did felt genuinely, for the displace person on account of Narmada Dam but I firmly believe he did trusted too much the feeling one have, against the Gujarat Govt due to riots and high profile news media and NGO's, for whom, cursing Gujarat is the favorite snack to fulfill there own inflated egos as well absurd notion of secularity. I would sincerely wish that Aamir look into the things in totality rather than sticking to the judgment he made on a individual incident. He knows bes,t as he lived the role of Rehan in FANNA where one destroy not himself only but those whom he really loved for the first time in his life, just because he was too stubborn to make the amendment, which he knew to be made but stuck to it, to get destroyed in all respect.

For quit some time I am reading people commenting about Gujarat and the 2 major news originated there, Riot and Narmada Dam. I am not a Gujarati nor I live there but in recent past I been visiting Gujarat and I can vouch to one fact that its very easy for any body to comment on Gujarat while sitting in AC room and watching TV hearing out celebrity news commentators and news readers foaming the contempt and painting everything in black what Gujarat is or been into it but the fact is none those sitting in high pedestal have a clue what really happened and why Gujarat didn't minced to dust, on the contrary Gujarat shrugged off all the cat calls and moved ahead and in fact Gujarat is the No. 1 State where I can do my business without any booby trap. I think I am a secular to the capital S but then I don't trust what those 5 star culture prone, media commentators or Gucci & Pierre Cardin wearing Leftist talks about.
