E-Governance finally working
Visit to government offices somehow fills my body with laziness throughout, and this is due to a ignorant attitude of babus which i have encountered earlier while being to passport office, Ration office, Pan card application in Mumbai and during my Driving license application at Pune RTO, i need to spare whole one day for these activities, run from counter to counter, however things have improved a bit with regards to passport office and PAN card application.
The above reason was preventing me to visit the corporation office at shivaji nagar, to collect birth certificate of my child, i tried downloading the birth certificate of my child through the Pune Municipal Corporation website, but the link never functioned and surprisingly today i found the link running perfectly fine and finally i got to download my baby's birth certificate, you can actually see E-Governance ads from Indian government running on TV, so i thought for the time being till elections the link may work well, after elections it would automatically go to sleep again, although i may still have to visit the office since my child's name need's to be updated on the certificate, and even a small address spelling correction.

Jai Ho Rehman
Rehman brought glory and honor to our country this time, raising the standards for Indian Music and proving hie mettle once again, it is definately moment of great pride and joy for our country, so is for rasool and gulzar.
I think we were happy with one Filmfare Awards for honoring the best in Indian Cinema, compared to a slew of Awards sponsored by different business groups, it is slowly turning out to be a cheap excuse of conducting a cinema event, where results are manipulated and hardly genuine and deserving films win.
The stardust awards which took place earlier this year, were completely lackluster, you could actually count the number of celebrity guests at the event, also sajid khan's antics were irritating and no doubt Ashutosh Gowariker lashed out at him, could be one of the trick of event managers to grab some eyeballs for TV broadcast, Oscar's tend to honor talent in cinema going away from popular trend, whereas in India it is not the case, filmi families in India have being known to favor their star children who enter hindi cinema industry by giving them best debutants awards, Hindi cinema industry today clearly divided in camps, also SRK seems to get some or the other awards to keep proving he is the king of hindi cinema, whereas he is actually not, he may be able to deliver one or two blockbusters in a gap of 2 years or so, but he has very little friends to count on.
I hope Filmfare aw ards this year have something good to offer, and may we all be treated to some great cinema this year as well.

Delhi 6 - Not Worth a watch
Delhi -6 is an utter disappointment as a film, this movie looked promising in trailer frames however in my view it falls flat on most areas except for A.R.Rahman's music which salvages some effort of Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra,
i wanted to see the soul of the city Delhi in the story of the movie, i thought i would be able to see true acting talent of Sonam Kapoor, she is completely under utilised in this film, Abhishek Bacchan's role seems actual IBCD(Indian Born Confused Desi) rather than a ABCD (American Born Confused Desi). The plot of the movie seems to be completely out of the way and somehow brought to an end in a real bizzare way, however you get a glimpse of what is coming in a song.
I feel the director rode on the "Black Monkey" phenomenon too high rather than the potential of the actors, the story of the film grows preachy in the end, the movie is woven more like a theatrical satire on social fabric of our country, i feel the plot of the movie suits more to a theatre play rather than a movie, i was surprised to see cheap fx grpahics occupying background of delhi, rather than the real footage of the city, you get to see very few glimpses of this city.
The director is successful in showing how narrow our thinking is like the lanes of old delhi amidst the pride that people take of being "Large Hearted" or Dilwalon ki Dilli, i was surprised to see too many editing goof ups in the movie in terms of background score and story editing, background score was rather weird in some tense scenes of the movie, the chemistry between Abhishek and Sonam does not take off.
Actually the director has tied up with Channel 18 network and no doubt i heard a positive review on Rajeev Masand's show for the movie, the last time for RDB, Rakyesh used NDTV channel as a means of promotional vehicle, i liked only the cinematography and music from the film.
