India and its tyst with adult movies

"Cartoons are better than Indian Adult Cinema"- My nine year old 

In the age of smart phones with high speed internet connectivity,one night stands,live in relationships,pre-marital affairs,it is very unfortunate that we do not allow aesthetic adult movies to be made in India.

I think the Indian audience of the age group of  21  upwards is mature and should be given the opportunity to watch good adult cinema.

I believe censor board and the government should change as per the times and not get hypocritical or myopic.In this dynamically changing environment India cannot be deciding on self righteousness in preaching morality.

I believe every generation has its own do & don’t,I am sure when Raj Kapoor did have a bikini shoot of Sharmila Tagore,the entire country did oppose it and did become a topic of discussion in parliament ,but I believe over a period it did change the course of cinema for the better.

I think banning or preventing the filmmakers from making such kind of cinema,robs them of their creative expression.

I am in no way saying we make indecent or vulgar cinema,I am saying erotica is also a genre of creative expression with nudity as a part of it.

We have to allow and give adequate freedom of expression to  filmmakers to make elegant,beautiful,ascetic adult cinema rather than ending up making crap movies  like :kya kool hai hum, grand masti etc.

I believe audiences today are mature enough to understand ,discriminate and appreciate quality cinema.We have to come out of our myopic and stereotype visions and act as per the changing generations.

Also there has to be stricter implementation and enforcement of laws like agebar.
I wait for the day when genuine Indian adult movies find its way into the multiplexes.

Long queues and Demonitization

 I am in queue for Shah Rukh Khan's latest "Dear Zindagi".

A person collapsed before my eyes today....he was also standing in a Queue,...but wait this was not a queue for withdrawing cash from an ATM or bank...he was standing in long queue for buying alcohol.In Kerala queues for alcohol have been very famous and it streches for km and miles,but still I have never seen any political party protest these queues.

Many deaths have happened and continue to happen over the previous decades by the menice of alcohol,but nobody questions it,nobody bans it.Many families lose their near and dear ones for alcohol,many don’t even get to have a decent livelihood due to addiction to alcohol.Many childrens education gets stopped,due to lack of money,many face social stigma ,and no to say about the domestic violence it causes.Many families have got destroyed,but nobody talks about banning them.I am never come across political parties who protest these.

We do stand in longer queues for getting our railway tickets in any of the suburban trains in Mumbai and waiting in Airports,Road Traffic and the queues have been long for ages now but still I do not find any protest for these by any political parties.

Talking about queues closer to my workplace we have long queues in our canteen to buy lunch everyday,but we still find no people protesting.

When will my time come…

“There are no mistakes, only opportunities." – Tina Fey

When will the sun shine

When will the moon soothe back

When will the stars twinkle bright

Are the flowers going to bloom

When are the winds going to blow

When are  the rivers going to flow

When will the waves comfort

When will the thunder strike again 

When will the lightening light again

When will the ocean sing back

When will the nature preserve

Will the birds chirp again

Will the elephant trumpet

Will the lions roar again

When will I start to fly

When will my opportunity come

When will I get to show my work,

When will I be in the media in their Prime Time

When will Indians start looking up to me

When will the World turn up towards me.

                                     

When will my time come…

I Proposed a girl ...And She…

   
   Beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder

I had practiced reciting  my lines since the last evening ,I had rehearsed it pretty well,

I was nervous,my heart racing ,I blurted out…

"I love you and I love you very very much.

Jab bhi main ankhe band karta huan toh tumhe dekha huan (whenever I close my eyes I just see you)

Jab bhi main ankhe kholta huan toh tumhe dehna chahta huan.(whenever I open my eyes I want to see you)

Main tumse aur bas tumse mohabbat karta huan,Aur marte dam tak karta rahunga”(I love you and only love you,and I will love till  death)

And suddenly my eyes opened,and I was awake ,the girl still standing

I proposed a girl ...And she …blushed…

…The seven year old beautiful “Mahalakshmi”.

Parippally orphanage a symbol of love not Taj Mahal

Love is opening up of the soul,not an obsession.

I celebrated my Diwali along with some bright  children of Parippally Orphanage adopted and run by Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Math ,burst crackers with them ,played football and enjoyed every bit of it.

It is the just the joy and smiles on the faces of these children that make Paripally a symbol of Love.

I believe the people who meet the children here light up,rather then the other way round.

Some curious thoughts come to my mind.

I am very astonished that people believe “Taj Mahal” is an epitome of love.Taj Mahal was constructed out of sheer madness and it cannot be a symbol of love.

It is symbol of selfishness, of anarchy and obsession as demonstrated by the Shah Jahan by cutting of the hands of the labourers who built the Taj Mahal so that they are not able to replicate the structure.

I am still astounded by the ignorance of people who call Taj Mahal a monument of love.

A symbol of love ,is a place where people feel happy and smiles come from within the heart and soul –like the Parippally Orphanage. 

Anandam-Parmanadam

Cinema is an art it doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire.

A malayalam movie film which is fresh and innovative.

It has a fragnance of a “mulla poo”(jasmine) and beauty of a horizon.The charm and innocence of a child’s smile.

It has a refreshing humour which keeps the people coined to their seats for the entire duration of the film.

The film with 20 year olds give a fresh breadth to new age cinema,the director,productor,actors all bring fresh air into the young generation cinema.

It takes you to a fantacy world for the duration of the cinema and keeps to entertained in its real sense still the end which I believe is missing in either hollywood or bollywood movies.

Other fimmakers around the world can look towards Malayalam cinema and can give reins to young hands.

There may not have been a story, no social message but I it provides me enough reason to smile coming out of the cinema hall.
