Indian GP: Of Cars, Outside The Circuit.

With All the Excitement And Atmosphere Built around Formula 1 Coming to India, I Being a Formula 1 Fan from a Li'l age, Thanks to my Elder Brothers and sisters,Was Pretty Excited From the day of Its Announcement.
I had Been Visiting BookMyShow.com Since I came to know that they would be The ticketing Partners for the First Ever Indian GP. Hoping that The Day the tickets Came on sale, I would be one of the first People to Buy it. and I Believe i was one of 'em too. First Day, Within an Hour of Coming on Sale, I had Booked tickets for the Race. And Then Began The Heartbeats.

Now we all know How the Race went about, and What all Happened. Even the People who weren't there and didn't know what Formula 1 was, Had Gotten all the knowledge As our media Did a Wonderful job of highlighting one of the biggest Sports spectacles India Had Yet Witnessed. So You thought that Indian GP was all about Cars Racing around 'In' The 5.14km Long Circuit and the people who were there only saw them. Wrong. People Who Didn't have Much Experience at SuperCars and Hadn't seen them Frequently in Reality, Were In For a Treat at The parking of the Buddh International Circuit. People who had bought the Parking[Yes You had to Buy that Previously] Saw Cars Which They Couldn't Imagine. From Bentley's to Rolls Royce's. Porsche's to Lamborghini's. BMW's, Mercedes's and Audi's were Standing Like Swift or Honda City's. For Me Witnessing So many of the Supercars at a single place[after the Delhi Auto Expo ofcourse] Was Breathtaking. So some Pictures of the cars I got to witness, Outside the Circuit.

Watching Formula 1 Was an awesome Experience. But Having to Watch these cars and Seeing them Move on the Roads Was even More Mesmerising.

Flowers: Song of the Flower ~Khalil Gibran

Now this post isn't something which I've written. I've just clicked the Pictures. Attaching with it a Poem Which is very Near to my heart. Song of the Flower By Khalil Gibran. 






Song of The Flower

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn.


At dawn I unite with the breeze
To announce the coming of light;
At eventide I join the birds
In bidding the light farewell.


The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
Is scented with my fragrance.


As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
Night watch over me, and as I
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is
The only eye of the day.


I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.





I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.


But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.

Farewell.

The First Day,
No One wanted to go in,
The last, 
When No One wants to go out.


Goodbye is all that people can say,
Some Eyes are filled with opportunites that Lie ahead,
and Some Filled with tears of the memories.
They say school is the best time you'd ever have.

When they had the opportunity, 
Everyone took leaves, and didn't come,
But now all they want is some more days,
to explore what more they could have done.

But why Do I feel this Lump in the throat,
When I Feel about leaving the school,
When I've already had a goodbye,
When I've already had Farewells.



Maybe Because I knew That school wasn't over,
and The Possibility of new Friends wasn't too.
I knew that old Friends would still be there,
Most of them that is but too.



But this time when we walk out,
There wouldn't be a return,
No teachers, No Ugly Uniform,
No Lectures for that overgrown hair and nails,
No Canteen, No Money Fights,
No Class Photographs, No Bunks.
All that we'd be left with,
Are Just Simple Memories.

Rockstar: Starring Ranbir Kapoor And Nargis Fakhri.


There are some Movies which as soon as you get out of the Theatre, You Know That you’re gonna get its DVD as soon as it comes out. Rockstar is One of those Movies.


 

Unlike the Recent Hindi Movies, Rockstar Has Depth And Honesty. There are some Dialogues which one Can relate to completely. Like “Kisi Bhi Artist,Musician,Writer Ko Dekh lo, Pain Ke bina Koi Accha nahi hota.” When Seen in Real life, Its true, Every Great Artist has Experienced pain at some Point in his life.

Ranbir Kapoor Stars As Janardan Jakhar aka J.J aka Jordan. Janardan jakhar is a middle class Kid who belongs to a Hariyanvi family living in Pitampura in Delhi. He’s doing BA Pass From the Hindu College and is seen Playing music and hanging out at Its canteen.He;s a Good For Nothing Uncooperative son at Home and a struggling musician with little hope to his friends and acquaintances.When He’s told that No one can be a great artist unless he’s visited some pain, He Gets up to get his heart broken. He meets Heer Kaul, the Dancing Star of St. Stephens. Heer kaul is Played by Nargis fakhri Who Looks Super Duper Hot. Heer comes from a Rich family. He Befriends Heer after A series of attempts of asking her out and ultimately she rejecting him but befriending him. As JJ learns after befriending her, she has only 2 months for her marriage, so they both embark on a crazy journey in which she attempts to do everything which she wouldn’t be able to do after her marriage. So they make a bucket list which includes watching B Grade Film ‘Jungli Jawani’ and Drinking ‘Desi Daru’.

 

'Rockstar' is never as surefooted as Imtiaz's breakout hit Jab We Met, but it's a braver, riskier film than any he's previously made. AR Rahman's score serves as the spine of this enterprise, emerging expectedly as one the film's biggest strengths. A word also for Anil Mehta's dramatic camerawork; not merely for the lush Kashmiri landscapes but also for the edgily-shot concert scenes. But 'Rockstar' belongs to Ranbir Kapoor over everyone else. It's a riveting performance - from Janardan's rough edges to Jordan's wildly unpredictable ways - and Ranbir roots it in the real. Watch how he seizes the stage in the Sadda haq number and virtually makes the track his own. For Ranbir alone, this film deserves a watch.

 

The Movie has some Brilliant soundtrack by A.R. Rahman Like the songs Saadaa Haqq, Jo Bhi Main and Tum Ho Being the Best ones. The songs would be ruling the charts weeks after the Movies release.

Every Reviewer is saying that they didn’t find nargis’s acting brilliant but I beg to differ as she has done a brilliant job compared to the First Movies of both Kareena and Katrina. Nargis fakhri is a super hot and Promising talent that can achieve greater heights if her acting skills are more brushed upon.

Ranbir Kapoor has done a brilliant job and his acting is one of the main reasons why you should watch the film. His cute version as JJ and the Agnry version as Jordan are mesmerizing and even the biggest of his haters would appreciate the work done by him.

This was Shammi Kapoor sir's Last Movie and He's done an amazing job playing a shehnai Player who sees JJ At the Nizammudin Auliya Mosque and Then Recommends him to platinum records as a rising star. May god Bless his soul. RIP Sir.

Imitaz ali has done a great effort which needs to be appreciated.

The Cute love story will leave you yearning for more even after the movie has ended.

I personally sat through all the cast listings which was weird since I am usually one of the first to get out of the hall but I kept sitting there hoping to see something more.

 

Though The Censor Board Could have been better and Instead of censoring the words ‘Sex’ and ‘Tibet’ out of a free Tibet banner used in the song saada haqq.

Of the supporting cast, Kumud Mishra makes a big impression as Jordan's mentor and manager Khatana, who watches helplessly as his friend sinks into a quicksand of despair.

The Cute moments of the film can be explained by scene in which Janardhan's sitting in a canteen and complaining that he's shattered over being shot down by the campus hottie, Heer. "If your heart was really broken, you wouldn't be sitting here eating samosas and arguing over chutney," his friend tells him.


I’d give this Movie The Following stars.

 

Movie: 4 out of 5.

Ranbir Kapoor: 4 out of 5

Nargis Fakhri: 3.5 out of 5 [I’m Biased towards her hotness]

A.R. Rahman For Music: 5 Out of 5. 



If You Love Music or Cute Romantic Stories, You should watch this Flick. Recommended. :)

Manipur Blockade, North East Indians.


When North East Indians[Yes, they’re north East Indians, Not Just North Easterns.] used to Fight that India doesn’t give them their due respect and doesn’t treat them as their own, I Used to be angry, That they are Indians too, And why are they speaking against India, But Now I feel different, And somewhat I agree with them.
The people from the north east always had one problem which I saw in delhi or Anywhere I went to. They were addressed as Chinks or chinki’s and They were quite agitated about this, But Sorry on this point, People Everywhere are like that. For an Average Delhite, any Person Living Below Nagpur or even having its origins from there is just a simple ‘Madrasi’. Everyone From Easter UP or Bihar or Jharkhand is a ‘Bihari’ or A ‘Bhaiyyya’. Its not that anyone is biased towards you guys, People are like that to everyone, Every Hariyanvi is a Jaat. Its Just how People Behave.
But Now When People are getting angry and Anti-Indian Government. I’d be standing with them Even though I’ve never really visited North East India.[Not a Fact I am Proud of].
Today when this Blogpost Goes online, it’d be the 101st day Since the Manipur Blockade started. And the Media Wasn’t Covering it till Only Two weeks back and even now what the coverage is Not sufficient at all. And Only A Part of Media is covering it, I won’t take specific names but we all know who those channels are. And Frankly, This is especially for all those Random News channels, and for those Hindi News channels, who Prefer to show Pooja Misra[Don’t ask me who that is] and Juhi Parmar’s Fights Over this Blockade of a STATE of The Country, Get your Act Together. There’s a reason you’re called news channels, Show some bloody news. Not Nonsense Crap.

For All those who don’t know what this Blockade since the lack of Indian Media Covering it, This Blockade Started 101 days ago from today.  Blockade, which started on August 1, has led to an acute shortage of essential commodities, with the prices of food, medicines, and fuel shooting up sky high. Ordinary people have borne the brunt of the agitation, black marketeers and hoarders are having a field day, and the central government has been a bystander to the less-than-competent handling of the situation by the Ibobi Singh government in the hapless State. The siege began when the Kukis affiliated to the Sadar Hills Districthood Demand Committee blocked National Highways 53 and 39 to press their demand for a Kuki majority district to be carved out of portions of a larger district claimed by the Naga people as part of the ‘greater Nagalim.' The Nagas responded to the SHDDC blockade with one of their own. Instead of handling both firmly, the State government appears to have only worsened ethnic tensions by getting the SHDDC to withdraw its blockade with a written assurance that the demand for a separate Kuki district would be met. The United Naga Council and the All Naga Students' Association of Manipur have since intensified their blockade.

This Blockade Has Led to Actue Shortage in the Daily Use Items in the Area. Basic commodities Like Petrol Sugar and LPG Gas Etc Are sold at Exbortitant Prices. While We, Sitting in the Central Parts of the country are abusing the government for Increasing Petrol Prices by 1.8 Rs. Per Litre and Are Now Paying Rs. 70 instead of 68,  They have to pay anything between 200 to 250 Rs. Pet litre of Petrol. Yes, You read Right, 250 Rs Per Litre. Is that Fair? Is That Justified? And If You say Yes I might Just Break your Face.
And LPG Gas, Which is Used in nearly every home now for Cooking, On a Normal Day in Delhi You’d get it for 450 Bucks. But In Manipur, Its somewhere between 1800-2000 Rs. Yes More Than 400%  Costlier. The People are suffering and The Government is doing nothing.

Now Ask any Random Guy, Most of them Would not Be able to tell the names of all the 7 states and their capitals and then India Fights with China That They are a part of us. Yes they are, But treat them like too, You can’t have different standards for Goa and Sikkim. And till them you start Treating the way they Deserve, I don’t think we have the Right to Fight For them. Work For Them atleast.
They’re a Part Of us. And Please, They are not Chinki’s or Chinese, They’re North East Indians.

Its Just My Viewpoint. and if You still were Offended. 
Kindly Ignore,

Because its just the Viewpoint of the World Through The Eyes of a 17 Year Old.

You're Just a Nobody.


Who Do you Think you are,
And What rights do you have?
To break the hearts of People
Who loved you from the moment
You took your first breath?

They paid for your every Demands,
Irrespective of them being justified or not,
They bought you New Mobiles
When They were wearing tattered shoes.
Kept Resewing their own shirts
But brought you an Expensive bike.

They spent sleepless nights,
When you weren’t well,
And Didn’t let you worry,
When they were unwell.
They Did everything selflessly,
But Now you say they’ve been selfish.

They Subsided their Values When you Loved someone,
Let you marry Even outside your Caste, When Caste mattered to ‘em,
All so that you Could be happy.
But Now that one person who you know for a couple of years,
Is more important than the people who brought you up,
And For her happiness you Kick ‘em out.

If You really Loved ‘em,
You’d be with ‘em, When you Started earning,
And they stopped, You’d have helped them,
But You did not, You left ‘em alone and sad,
And You think you are great,
Let me rub into you that you’re not,
You’re Just a sad wannabe and A Bot.

For what you’re doing, There are No words I’ve got,
And Even though I might not say it to you,
But how I feel, Is Pretty Obvious.
You’re just a Nobody For me,
And I don’t really care, Whoever you are.

Just Friends or Something more.


Just Friends, Or Something More.

The Secrets of the Underworld,
Is what we share.
You Remember Nearly Everything I say,
And Talk to me About Everything there is.
I see You online and Can’t help but Ping,
And Every Picture you post I just have to see.

We’re usually in a group,
But together with ‘em too.
Known Eachother For years,
And Are Closer than ever.
The Chemistry can be seen by everyone, But us,
And They tell us we’re perfect, Can’t we see just?

When I hear your name it makes me smile,
My friends say I could go on for a mile,
As the day passed into evening
The distance between also passed away
I was in awe of you, your clear and grasping mind
I did not want to cross the line 
Or risk lose of such a friend

And when you fell in my arms,
Crying, I swear I could have Burnt the whole world.
But there was nothing I could do,
So I held back My tears, and Comforted you,
Told you everything is gonna be fine,
When Even I knew that it was impossible.

And when you Told me about your Crush’s,
I tried to Make you Not like that guy,
Even though I couldn’t accept that I had grew feelings for you,
I couldn’t let anyone take you too,
But Alas, I couldn’t stop what Fate had in mind,
Sadness was the only thing I had in my life.

Still whenever I receive that ping, or that simple smiley,
My heart Skips a Li’l Beat,
And When You Flirt with me,
I swear that’s when the heartbeats stop,
But whenever we talk about us,
It all Comes to being just friends,
Think About it, are we just friends, or something more?

Mind or Heart.


Just a small Line Has Got me thinking,
Is it Just me or are you Too Blinking.
Do we have something more,
Or are we just Simple Friends?

I know you Must Think about it too,
And if you Do, Help Me to find an answer
Because I Can’t seem to get it out of my head,
And Decipher what it is.

The Others say we should get together,
But My Mind Doesn’t agree,
Cause if I Fail, I lose a Great Friend Too,
Help Me Cause I’m in a Dilemma.

Heart or Mind, Who Should We Listen to,
Cause they Say Mind is always right,
But Isn’t Heart Right too?
