Few days Back I was watching the National Geographic channel.There was a regular programme going on called”SURVIVAL”,where they show herbivores being trounced and hunted down to death by carnivores.Obviously they showed the banal killing of a deer by a tiger.The fawn was playfully jumping and chaffing around quite unaware of her gory fate.The tiger acted with alacrity and when the fawn was a bit out of place,pounced upon her and sped away.What follwed next was “TEARING AND SCRATCHING “ of the body of the helpless soul.I watched it with sympathy and disgust.But that’s the law of the jungle,that’s called survival albeit in a brutal way.
I changed the channel,grabbed a packet of lays and zeroed in on HEADLINES TODAY.The natty news reporter screeched “A 14 year old girl murdered ruthlessly”,I was not perplexed at the outset,nowadays its very common,we have become callous to the monstrousity prevalent in this world.Who cares now if 200 people die in a train accident,if a young guy dies out of frustration,a girl is raped or a family is ruined by embezzlement of funds.Who cares about the lamenting of a widow,or an old mother who loses her son in an a mishap.The number of people dying remains as mere “numbers”.Have we ever thought the pains and agonies behind the curtain,NO.So this mint fresh news did not come as a surprise to me,I glued to the television screen by that time the media had started to splash the news with doubly redoubled energy.It was a jamboree for them,funtime for the journalists to shoot the deplorable and devastated family members with pesky questions and interrogations.The little girl’s photo was blared.I was thunder-struck,she had similar features as my cousin sister,the only difference being aarushi-the victim was in class 9 and she is in class seven.Few names cropped up.The blame game began."He killed that girl,no it was him,no it was her Father!!!!!".Then character assassination followed soon."That girl was characterless,this was projected by the media ,then they talked about her relationships,yes the pathetic media forgot that they were taling about a 14 year old.Then one day, an aggrieved mother came out with teary eyes and addressed the scavengers,yes the so called media who were doing their snooping.I wondered and pondered over the ruthlessness,not of the media,but of GOD,they say everything happens for the good,what good does HE want to show us?An innocent girl got murdered not only once,but for 100 times,first her physical death occurred and what followed was intermittent murders by the media and the goofish people who accused aarushi of absolutely Cockamamie affairs. What would she be feeling now?And how her parents are taking it,have we ever thought about it?think about it,all prayers gone awry,how will they believe in God now,even the almighty cannot face the oppressed souls who have lost everything,Whenver I watch her on TV(yes the media has done a terrific job by sensitizing the nation about the brutality of the murder by showing clips from her life,but that’s because they need trps),their pains are far more than the greatest greifs in this entire universe.I am sure if one thing god would like to change now is the death of an elfin named aarushi,if GOD is listening ,THEN ANSWER ME,When will the end of the dark tunnel appear for the Talwar family?Arrange something for them fast!!!!!!!!!
ITS disgusting and saddening to see the poor girls' image being distorted just like the deer's body was torn into pieces by the tiger.In this case the tiger is the people from the media who are very much humane,atleast they pretend to be so.Let her soul rest in peace and she get's to taste the holy dew of heaven.God turn aarushi into an angel and never send her back to this shittish world.

TARA RUM PUM-AN EMOTIONAL PINNACLE
Eyes shut.There was numbness all around.I could hear my father snoring faintly.It was the fatal night of 10th august 2006.The much anicipated film "Kabhi alvida na kehna" was about the hit the theatres the very next day.I was already feeling the adrenaline rush.Karan and his gang had left no stones unturned to promote KANK.I was overenthusiastic about the film.Because it was the first release of Rani after the stupendous success of Bunty aur Babli.Rani had already conned into my heart and I found myself singing Mitwa in my dreams.AAH.Dreams-unbriddled flights of fancies.Dreams are the vehicles to our success.Come to think of it.Through our dreams we can conquer the whole world.Especially day dreaming which I love.I thought kank would be the year's biggest blockbuster and add one more best actress plaudit to her name.But alas.I was transported back to reality as soon as the first show got over.Even the fanatic fans of srk who EXCITEDLY DANCED ALL THE WAY from their fan club beating the dust and heat to the theatre expressed their dissapointment.There was not that stereotypical chuckle of joy in the faces of the audience.Ditto in the communities dedicated to the film in orkut."SRK SUX,RANI SUX,CRAP MOVIE,WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY,KARAN HAS GONE MAD,YUCK--These were the commonplace cries from the janta.Kank was meant for the creme de la creme and not for the masses-The critics hailed.But who cares.The film tanked.Overseas it was a blockbuster but the film registered hatefulness in the minds of people.Personally I loved it though.
The one thing i noticed during the promotion of KANK was rani mukerji's absence.Where is rani??We fans enquired inquisitively.Pat came the reply from a site.RANI GOES WESTERN FOR TARA RUM PUM.OK we fans were relieved.She was shooting with saif in new york.SO now we fans penned our hopes on the film.In the mean time babul flopped(no regrets though).Tara rum pum.New film of rani.I PUBLICIZED the film as much as possible in my friend's circle.What excitement really.Inexplicable.Then one day I heard the promo has come out with salaam-E-ishq.I was over the moon.Hastily I sneaked into youtube.Typed tara rum pum and fortunately the video was uploaded.I got a bit delirious.I started to watch it.MY heart was thumping fast.The video started with the four protagonists jumping and the little girl "princess" introduces each one of them.Then the title music was played.Saw some speedy scenes,some snippets of the song "hey shona" and "ab to forever".The promo opened to a delectable response.I could see rani and saif fans complimenting the video and saying "waiting for the movie".Few days passed by.The promos were aired on television.First the song hey shona was promoted.I caught a glimpse of the song and jumped at my feet.A friend of mine created a community for the song and I got busy publicizing it like a mad cheap and shameless fan(proudly so).Suddenly I Realized that there was no Buzz around the film.WHat's wrong I asked myself.My co-mod told me "YASHRAJ "is not promoting the film.Yes really.What a horrible promotion.Promos hardly came on air.We literally had to wait for them to come.The release date neared.Still no change in the promotional strategy.Neither saif nor rani made a public appearance.Only there was a contest organized by NDTV.Both of them came and talked for few minutes and vamoosed.Then the fateful day of 27th april 2007 arrived.Nevertheless I was nervous.Maybe more tensed than the stupid producers of the film who had already dugged the hole for the film.The nail in the coffin was placed by the malicious Media who deliriously declared"TRRP IS A FLOP" on the very first day.Reson-THE FILM DID NOT OPEN WELL AS COMPARED TO Other YAHSRAJ FILMS".Ok point noted.But hey what about the perky folks who flooded the communities of TRRP with mirthful comments like"WONDERFUL FILM,ONE OF THE BEST FILMS I HAVE EVER SEEN,GREAT MOVIE ,LOVED IT,WOW RANI AND SAIF WERE BRILLIANT,WOW THE KIDS WERE ADORABLE,BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES,I LOVE PRINCESS AND CHAMP..?I was a witness to all of them.
I caught the movie on 28th april at the menoka cinema hall in kolkata(which is now dashed to smithereens because of the 6 consecutive flops from yashjraj,the ticket seller jokingly told me the other day"TPTM AGAR NAHI CHALI TOH TUMHE MEIN ANDAR GHUSNE NAHI DENA WALA")(laugh out loud).The hall was jampacked.It was a fullhouse to my delight.THE WHISPERS WERE ON about rani's ill-fitting wig in the first half.SOme guys were saying"why this wig".But I preferred to watch the performance instead.The film rolled and came as a delightful and most cherishable experience of my life.I loved tara rum pum.Not even a single frame of the movie was boring according to me.It was a complete entertainer with a brilliant though cliched climax.The songs were massively underrated.The title track "TA RA RA RA RAM TA RA RA PUM" Was a tearjerker.MY favourite though will always remain HEY shona.Not only the song but the choreography was intricate and beautiful.The way rani pulled saif's cheeks and pressed her feet on his were some magnificent steps from vaibhavi not to mention the signature step.The film was liked by many.Some of the posts(from rani's community and trrp community) are still etched in my memory "HEY WHY IS THE FILM NOT WORKING,IT WAS SO NICE".well not exactly.The film was a successs and was rocksteady at the multiplexes.it earned 11 crores in the first week.Taran adarsh declared a hit and Boxofficeindia said it's a semi-hit.CONTRARARILY to the haters of rani who said"its a flop".But hit or flop,i dont care.I Loved tara rum pum to the hilt.It was one of the most well executed films I have seen.I did not care whether it is copied from 3 hollywood films or not.SO are the other blockbusters.I did not care when people said "its a crap,a racer never loses,thats impossible.it seemd inconsequential to me.I got the message which the director was trying to convey."KHUSHI YA GAM ZYADA HO YA KAM,JEETEGE HUM MILKE TARA RUM PUM tara rum pum".YES it was a film about unity and overcoming obstacles unifiedly as a family.It preached unity and solidarity.And the characters of saif and rani were reminiscent of many parents who also swim out of the sea of troubles by staying together.And the climax where rani sheds tears on watching saif romp the race proved her mettle again as an actress and gave me enough reasons as a rani fan to celebrate the film .It rocked.But THE MOST disgusting part were the award ceremonies which were so ruthless that they brutally gave the performances a miss.OK DONT NOMINATE SAIF,DONT NOMINATE RANI,BUT HEY HOW DARE YOU NOT NOMINATE THAT LITTLE GIRL WHO PLAYED PRINCESS?DARSHEEL SHOULD HAVE WON THE BEST CHILD ARTISTE AWARD AGREEd BUT WHY NOT A MENTION OF THAT POOR GIRL.SHE WAS EXTRAORDINARY.EVEN A RANI HATER WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY FRIEND AGREED WITH ME ON THAT.THAT WAS AWFUL AND GHASTLY AND I FEEL LIKE STABBING THE SO CALLED PAISA KHANE WALA JURY MEMBERS.Many films will come and go.People might forget the film.BUT I would pray to god so that the film is saved from curse of forgetfulness.My heart aches when I see undeserving films full of stupid jokes becoming blockbusters.This film will always be very special to me.It will be inscribed in my heart even when I am 60.Becaue it touched my heart and made brought me closer to my family.And when the music was played in the background after race and rani was crying OUT OF HAPPINESS in the hospital it truly felt like I am walking in the clouds because I as a fan was proud again and It made me feel warm.A true zenith of happiness.

MY FIRST DAY IN BLOG
Multitudinous thoughts flock my mind every now and then.I always felt like penning them down or create a reflection of them practically so I could visit them often.They say heart is the most secret chamber of a person.Very few people give an outlet to their actual emotions through their countenance.I don't know if I am one of them but still this blog is an apt way to bring forth my intimate emotions so far that had been mired deep inside me.I have been an extrovert person right from my childhood.A leo by birth I was mercurial right from the word go.I was boisterous as a kid.My mother had a tough time handling me.The funniest part is that one of my uncle fortold that I am going to be huffy when he came to see me for the first time in the hospital.Right he was.I was every cousin's nightmare.They hated my attitude.I was snooty,pigheaded,rumbustious,straightforward,cranky,irritating like hell.Not that they like me now(laugh out loud).But yes the situation has improved.My parents have been very patient.I was a problem child.I Changed three schools in 3 years.I was Literally hauled down to the threshold and ducked into the car and dispatched.I never liked going to school until i found my permanant temple of learning.I love sleeping.Sleep is the most effective panacea to troubles.Since I am always surrounded by zillions of problems i find slumber the calmest medicine.I am an emotional person.It takes gallons of time for me to emerge out of the cocoon and mingle with people.I am a happy go lucky person but not overtly.Have oodles to write but for today its more than enough.
