Taran Adarsh is a viewer NOT reviewer

So like every morning I go to http://www.indiafm.com and try to read(notice that try) movie reviews by Noted Journalist Taran Adarsh. Over years I have contained my frustration and have developed a habit of not reading entire review written by Taran. This guy just likes giving away the plot. He used to do that towards the middle of his article, but now he does that in first couple of paragraphs itself. Like me, any ardent bollywood lover would agree to what Mr Taran Adarsh does.

Mr Adarsh, you should atleast consider that a moviemaker is trying to find audience for his movie. Maybe movie's USP is the secret of the plot that you vomit in you review. I don't know how could you even do it. I don't know if it's money or hobby that makes you write. Whatever it is do it on your own laptop not on IndiaFM. I think Khalid mohammad is one of the worst filmmaker but he is an ace film critic. You should learn from him how to express your opinion without narrating the story.

Like what you have done with Nanhe Jaisalmer, I hope you don't repeat with any other review. If et all you have work ethics I think you shuold apologize to the readers and filmmaker for screwing the review by revealing the plot. I wouldn't want to mention what you have written there but I am sure you know what I am talking about.

Why facebook is not microsoft

Facebook v/s operating system

I read this interesting article on techcrunch that draws parallels between facebook and microsoft and that how microsoft built windows as a common platform for developers to work on and likewise what facebook has done now. technically, I think what facebook has done is not a big deal. After all how much technical expertise is required to open up ur systems and api for others to interact with? Doesn't all products do that already? Doesn't all languages do that? This is core concept of extensibility. On the other hand developing an operating system is quiet a task in itself.

facebook v/s google

However, I'll have to agree that marketing department of facebook did a great job of hyping the news. Concept wise it is similar but implementation wise it's stupid to even think about it. Agreed that it gives a better platform for entrepreneurs to put there application out there with minimal expense and see how market reacts to it but then if you have 1 million applications in facebook, how is it any different from 1 million search results in google. Personally me at any point would go with google results than facebook. So with all the hype surrounding facebook it may get a better deal for a buy out or IPO but then this is definitely what will make them microsoft.

Mark on his own

On a different note I would applaude mark's creativity in thinking out of the box which can be a selling factor if facebook comes out with IPO. our stock market has a penchant for young guys who think out of box.

Bheja Fry - Irritating, Disgusting....

A good buzz, great reviews and excellent box office collection lead me to think that this one is worth a watch. Wait...read the title carefully, 'cause that's exactly what this garbage does to you..BHEJA FRY. Far from making you laugh it makes you wonder 'cause you won't know how to react to those drag and pale and dumb scenes. Read Anurag Kashyap's blog on http://www.passionforcinema.com . He finds this movie funny..Dude, you got a serious missense of humor....

These fellas(Vinay, Rajat and Ranveer) are great actors but one got to think before doing crappy stuff like this piece of shit.

Recommendation - Hide from it! DO NOT WATCH

Lunch of 4 - Live from New york....

This is the first post of a new series that I start today "Lunch of 4 - Live from new york....".

How it all began -

Four crazy minds working at the world largest exchange for Oil. What would you expect?

Billion dollar ideas - Nahhhhhh
Trading Strategy- Nope
Complex algorithm - Can't u get one thing right???

BULLSHITT - That's correct!!

The Founders of bullshit -

Dhiren a.k.a Dhiren- You know the perfect guy!!

Balan a.k.a Manisha - He went on maun vrat(vow for silence) for 5 mins once, ever since he has been unleashed. What google finds with all the intelligence, he does it with pure imagination...

prashant a.k.a Veeru - Ever since his lookalike got killed, this former bandit has been trying to smell computers for some sandlewood!

Jassi a.k.a Jassi- well how do I describe him..hmmmm...Let's just say he is a 8086 in the world of Pentium...Slow ain't the word...SPECIAL is!!


The lunch talk

Veeru is enjoying his last few days at work before he is shipped back to his native zoo in kerela, never mind he will be with us in spirit. May his soul rest with plenty of chicken, jassi’s rotis, though he may hate to admit some of my food and of course balan’s Olive oil…Ughhhhh…I don’t know what that means. Balan came up with a million dollar idea. You know to be all “resourceful” at work, more on that later. Jassi asked a few questions about evolution and concluded that he hasn’t evolved yet…LOL! Our guest Varsha came with 2 pieces of chicken 1 roti and some rice. She is yet to get a hang of what is happenin’ around her. God save her before it’s too late. Our other guest Sujit just kept laughing with his head down …Don’t know what he was doing …too much of self love I guess!!

Bollywood Movie Review - Life mein kabhie kabhie

Ok, so you see a poster with bunch of young boys and girls in fancy designer clothes and bright colors splashed all over, the conclusion is yet another cliched movie about desi youth. Well, I started watching this movie with the same notion but first 15 minutes and I was just glued to it.

The way director navigates thru the lives of 5 individuals and the ones around them is amazing. This is one movie with a message and the viewer gets that unlike other movies where message is lost somewhere in the trash they build up for audience. I am still surprised how Namastey London made over 50 crores worldwide !! It's a torture, military should use it on terrorists.

Anyways coming back to the LMKK, I think as a writer one can choose to traverse thru any path but I think wrtiing is about being real, mapping it as closely to real world as possible. With that I wonder that in one of the tracks why the girl chose raj zutsi's character over Dino Morea's. After all he was stinking rich too. Few minor blemishes rest all looks SAVVY.

Recommendation: Go watch it!
