in short...this weel is going gud especially wid the tadka of rim-jhim monsoon.
Thanku all musical folks!!!
…finally we all will get a nationalized unique ID card.
Cool…all the aashaiyen we have from the new-fresh-partially young govt is not a bad hangover anymore….this blue turban sardar has some strong concrete plans for all of us.
Obviously it’s a complex thing…to give a unique number to “all” Indians…complex like running railways in this country…but that's why we have Mr. Nilekani for the job…Infy is out for some time and social entrepreneurship is in!! Presence of this guy can easily make us understand how tough this whole ID process is……….magar Hindustan umeed se hai dosto!!!

“NEGATIVE VOTING”………A Revolutionary Idea And Our Right too
The general elections are almost round the corner and this whole summer we are going to witness some great nautanki from our politicians.
Social campaigns are going on….intellectuals and politicians are giving us “noble” advice that how important it is to vote. We have this “Right to Vote” stuff coming on our face!!If you don’t have that blue dot on ur finger on d day of election…u will be considered as a non-patriotic guy/gal n ppl start giving u that disgusting look …like u r criminal or some evil. Although Supreme Court once quoted “Right to Vote is not a Constitutional Right nor a Fundamental Right but pure and simple a Statutory Right”. But still we get this kind of treatment!!Also, what if we didn’t find any candidate on the EVM suitable?????????????
Also, a kind of maahol is created around we people of Bharat …like everything in these elections is in our own hands!
But are we really the Sutradhar of elections...or just puppets...Silent puppets!
This is the right time to implement “Negative Voting” in our election laws ( Loha garam hai..hathoda maar do!!). Negative voting is an option of exercising one’s Right of “Not to Vote “It gives us the freedom and option of not choosing any contesting candidate from the list if we don’t find them suitable enough. For this, only a last option is needed on the Election Voting Machine (EVM) which says “None of the above” or “I don’t want to vote for any of the above candidates” .Through this functionality we can easily use our Right to Vote…go to polling booth and vote (and not sit idle at home and criticize the whole system and India).These votes will be counted and thru this we can also show our protest publically.
Other countries too offer variants of negative voting….Nevada in US offers a negative vote option in 2006…Massachusetts included “None of the above for a new election” as an option…Europe, Switzerland, Spain, France, Belgium offers a Blank vote option.
India’s Election Commission (EC) fully supports Negative Voting. For the same, EC send proposal to Govt. of India twice, once to NDA in 2001 and than to UPA in 2004.And both the times there was no response from the govt. Nice response!!!
Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), an NGO, had filed a petition in 2004 before Supreme Court seeking separate slots in EVM’s to give voters the option of “None of the above” if s/he does not want to vote for any of the candidates standing in the election. Supreme Court accepted this petition and recommends it to its higher constitutional bench as the question involved interpretation of citizen’s fundamental rights.
But as we all expected, Govt and other political parties are against implementing Negative Voting. During hearing of the above petition, govt gave a mast excuse why not to implement negative voting…take a look
“Just as a voter holds the right to vote, s/he has also the choice of not to vote. So if s/he feels like not to vote than they should not go to the polling booth!!"
No comments….I can only laugh!!!
But as Gulzar Saab says……..”Hindustan umeed se hai!!”
Isliye hum ye umeed karte hai ki hamari ye umeed bhi naumeed nahi hogi.
Sukriya…Jai Hind!!

Music Of Gulal..............
Piyush Mishra.......d guy behind gulal music.....he wrote lyrics fr this,composed it n sung it n even act in d mvie...is he nuts???.........nay...he will make u mad wid his work man!!You mst hve seen him in Maqbool,1971,Matrabhomi etc in small but pivotal roles.Man wid many hats...dangerous guy:-)
Duniya:-Sung by Piyush Mishra himself.
Finnest tribute to sahir ludhiyanvi saab's "Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye...frm Pyaasa".
Keeping sahir's "soul" intact...piyush add new dimensions by penning down sme mre thought provoking lyrics.This is very close to my heart...n i think to all those too who admire sahir saab.
Aarambh:-Again by Piyush Mishra….Its flavor is totally different from what our ears are used to listen.Yaad hai wo Vir-Ras ki kavitaye jo school mein hindi ki textbooks mien padhi thi..subhadra kumari chauhan,dinkar vagehra ki....Bas aisi hi ek vir-ras ki kavita aaj kitabo se uth kar mere samne khadi hai...Adbhut!!!Banagi dekhiye.....
"Jis kavi ki kalpana mein jindagi ho prem-geeet,us kavi ko aaj tum nakaar do"
"Maut aant hai nahi to maut se bhi kyon dare,ye jaa ke asmaan mein dahaad do"
Shehar:-Again by Piysh Mishra and Swanand Kirkere. It depicts the mood of a city where a lot is happening and citizens are enjoying there sleep…they are sometime simply not interested or unaware of the things happening around.Again amazing lyrics.And amazing singing.Waah!!!
(I m tired of writing this “Again”..again n again!!!).
Raat ke Musafir:-By Rahul Ram. There is this Indian band which is a Rock-Band and still so much DESi in its feel that u never feel like an outsider to their music (like I never able to connect to other rock bands)….Indian Ocean. And Rahul Ram is Indian Ocean’s lead singer. Commercially they compose for Black Friday. Now he jams up wid Piyush Mishra and gives us a soul stirring song.”Insaan ke shehar mein insaan khoj le tu”…nice naa..
Ranaji:-By Rekha Bharadwaj…Its d most controversial song I hve ever heard n brave one too..kudos to anurag kashyap…
“Jaise dur desh ke tower mein ghush jaaye re airplane”
“Jaise harek baat pe democracy pe lagne lag gaye ban”
“Jaise sare-aam Iraq mein jaake jam gaye uncle sam”
“Jaise bina baat Afghanistan ka baj gaya bhaiya band”
“jaise bisleri ki botal pi ke ban gaye English man”
Piyush Mishra Rocks!!!
Yaara Maula:-By Rahul Ram…again a soul stirring rendition by this Indian Ocean guy. This depicts how the innocent youth is hypnotized and brain washed by influential and powerful ppl s, through preaching, and use them for there own purpose. And at the end this youth will become completely helpless and aimless.
"Phir wo aaye bhed ban kar,hath mein they un ke khanjar,
Bole pheko ye kitabe,aur sabhalo ye salakhe..."
In totality This album is a wonderful creative work by Piyush Mishra,Rahul Ram and Anurag kasyap. And still it is going unnoticed .Wake up guys……don’t sleep ….u r loosing some thing really good.

Delhi 6....mvie wid a gud intention...
Why ppl reject good cinema(obviously there r sme exceptions!!)...I loved Swades..ppl n critics call it boring n docu-drama kind of mvie!!N nw its Delhi 6....same noble thoughts from ppls!!!Smetime I feel like I dnt knw how to watch a mvie!!
Obviously Delhi 6 is nt a 5 star mvie......magar ye koi hawa ka jhoka bhi nahi hai,ki aaya aur gaya aur kisi ne mehsus karne ka takaaluf bhi nahi uthaya!!It is with a noble cause...."niyat" liye....
I especially like the way Ram lila was inculcated in d story aur jis tarah se Raghuvir Yadav ramayan path karta hai.....kuch purane din yaad aa jaate hai....n Ran lila was shot beautifully.
songs to kamaal hai hi...aur background score dhamaal hai!!but i didn't understand one thing..y the hell "rehna tu" song cmes in to describe d beauty of delhi,when in promos it is shown as d romantic song btw lead pair!!Although if u think n listn to it again, u can easily associate it with delhi...But dan y such a blunder in d promos.Rakesh bhai........kuch roshni daliye!!!
Hats off to vinod pradhan...wat a camera wrk....aisa lagta hai nangi aankho se dekh rahe ho sab.
I think ppl dnt like it bcoz delhi 6 dnt have a fast pace plot.....actually it has various sub plots...its a collage...full of satires.....the film is so rich in its use of symbolism and metaphors and analogies , it’s quite amazing. So much thought must have gone into writing the screenplay.
Each character is so well defined(..max ppl obviously dnt agree wid me)...Vijay Raaj....wid "behan ke tanne" attitude simply amazing...om puri can easily go inside any charactr skin...his bro pawan malhotra is good too....Atul kulkarni as Gobar is really very touching...whn he says"agar ek 10 ka note lunga to do ke 2 sikke milne bhi band ho jayenge"...kudos!!! Divya dutta rocks as jalebi..powerful acting n thru her rakesh shws d dirty minds of so called society's respectful ppl...Rishi kapoor wid his sayari...especially whn he says to abhishek.."khaali haweliyaan khareedte phiroge miya”...."amma miya..lapat bano..kab tak andar hi andar sulagate rahoge!!!"Waah ..i loved his charactr...awesome!!!
"Arjiyaan" is yet anothr mastr piece by rahman...n amazing lyrics by prasoon joshi.
"Dil gira dafatan" concept n picturization is so unique...east meet west in d galiyon of newyork!!!mast!!!
"Rehna Tu" also is very gud..if u r able to think it in d perspective of delhi!!
