Bollywood is a fatal attraction for Budding Talents

'All that Glitters is not Gold' -- A famous saying is apt for the glamour world whose outer layer shines whereas the inner layer is hollow. Young and bright minds enamored by the outer shine of Bollywood, get sucked into its hollowness. Their desire to achieve money, name and fame overpowers the negatives of the film industry. Nepotism is the ideal word for Bollywood, where f ifty year old Uncles, portraying as college students, are seen romancing with young heroines. They lack looks, acting skills and voice modulation, yet manage to get movies after movies. Meaningful cinema, where genuine talent could be spotted, is a thing of past. The Directors & Producers are overdependent on the star power of a 'HERO' to achieve commercial success. Presentation of movie, grandeur of sets and get up of artists take precedence over scripts, dialogues, messaging and plot. Most Bollywood movies lack content and a strong story line.  The directors copy ideas, transform

The Argumentative Secular

I have had a lot of interactions with my fellow Indians from different backgrounds. Besides the small talk and other stuff, most of the times I have ended up discussing the political situation of our country. While I do see that a common Indian is gradually waking up to the crimes committed by Congress, I still feel that he is quite reluctant to accept the inherent flaws in his support for Congress. Given the extent of my conversations, I can classify these congress supporters into the following categories:  Half Patriots Seculars : These people feel for the motherland however, they do not have the courage to raise their voice openly. One common trait in them is cowardice because they are scared to accept that Congress is a partner of Islam in its undeclared war on India. Due to this cowardice, these half patriots hide in the Burqa of Secularism. And no other party except congress symbolizes cowardice and pseudo secularism perfectly - hence, the support. Consequently, these secular

Hindus suffering continues in SP ruled Uttar Pradesh

The recent chain of events that have taken place in Muzaffarnagar and other parts of UP indicate disturbing emerging trends in UP's societal landscape. The events clearly highlight that the so-called minority community (muslims) is not so secular in places where it is in majority or where it is even 30-40% of the total population.  According to an MHA report on communal riots and crime against women , the state of UP witnessed the maximum number of such riots (104) in comparison to other Indian states during 2012. This is an alarming trend, which if not restrained, could result in further escalation of the conflict between Hindus and muslims. Recent events in UP have further increased tensions between Hindus and muslims which highlight the existence of a strong undercurrent. Eve-teasing and rape of Hindu girls have been the root cause for these clashes (which clearly indicates the application of Love Jihad and Rape techniques to bring the Hindu women under muslim control). 

Rape - An outcome of a Sick Society

Rapes have become a widespread phenomenon in India. Quite often, we hear of rape news from different cities, towns and villages of our country. While the government and administration has certainly failed to provide a safe environment to the citizens, we (as Indian citizens) have also not actively participated in creating a secure and safe environment in the country. Government's attitude is apathetic (no doubt) but we are also more or less in the same league.  The fact that many passersby did not even act after seeing a girl (lying near a road in unbearable pain), who was brutally raped and thrown out of a moving bus, only indicates the extent of self-centered abyss that we have fallen into. The fact that those on Police duty, on that fateful night, argued with each other regarding the jurisdiction area of the crime only indicates their lack of sense for humanity (leave alone the country). And even after Delhi gang rape, we as a society have created a new low in Mumbai.  Now
