Moo-vies in Bollywood.. YAWN...

Indian film industry proves size DOES NOT matter. Bollywood makes the highest number of movies in the world per annum, and an equally large number of stupid movies.

Even movies which are a hit, are generally the sob sob melodrama stuff which is even more unbearable than watching a Chinese soap in Chinese!

Its been years since I dared to spend money on watching a Hindi movie. Years! I mean it!!
The recent release of Tango Charlie followed by Kaal proves that something's terribly wrong somewhere. Is it that the movie makers have decided in unison to make worthless after worthless non-entertaining movies?

And please ask them to not blame the audience. The standard defence is "The audience didn't understand". I mean, the poor audience spent hard-earned money to go watch the movie for entertainment, and it must have surely tried to understand and make sense and enjoy.

Also, there's this 'item' song which is thrown in and is expected to make the movie a hit. This is the same like expecting a beautiful menu to bring in customers instead of delicious food.

As a movie buff, I am seriously greatly disappointed.

Where's the GOOD STUFF in show biz gone??

Indeed, a beginning

Its interesting to live in India. Its even more interesting to see the world, and then again live in India. This large land of contrasts, cultures and mystery is like a rainbow whose colours have been smeared together, but the arch still remains.

A land where a mercedes and an elephant use the same road in a city of over 5 million even today, is the land I come from.

I love the country for a lot of things, and I dislike or even hate it for a lot of things as well. This blog is my dedication of penning down my observations and recording a journal of the opportunity I have given.. to be an Indian and live in India.

A little about me.. I am 26 when I am starting this blog, have recently started a business consisting of recruitment and immigration consultancy, am single, have traveled to USA and Kazakhstan, and stand on the threshold of a horizon that lies interestingly shrouded in mystery.

My urge to write, combined with my urge to share, has finally allowed this blog to see the light of the day. I hope this blog serves a purpose.
