HI, TO ALL OF YOU WHO READ/ACCESS MY BLOG.
SORRY I HAVE BEEN OFF FOR SO LONG. HAVE BEEN
INTENDING TO POST THOUGHTS ON MANY ISSUES,
BUT HAVE BEEN POSTPONING FOR NO PARTICULAR
REASON. DECIDED ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WILL POST
TODAY, BEFORE MOVING OUT FOR EVENING.
ON SUNDAY LAST, WE, MYSELF AND REVATHI WENT FOR
A MARATHI MOVIE CALLED NATRANG. I HAD READ ABOUT
IT AND ITS CONTENTS AND THE MOVIE AS A WHOLE EXCEEDED
MY EXPECTATIONS. MUST SEE FOR ALL, EVEN YOU MAY NOT
UNDERSTAND THE DIALECT USED THEREIN WELL ENOUGH.
THE GIST OF THE THE STORY IS AS FOLLOWS:
THE STORY IS SET IN RURAL MAHARASHTRA, AND IS ABOUT
A RUSTIC YOUTH WHO IS FASCINATED THE MARATHI FOLK
ART THAMASHA, AND IS HELL BENT ON STARTING ONE GROUP
DESPITE STIFF OPPOSITION. THE TRAVAILS GUNA, THE PRINCIPAL
CHARACTER UNDERGOES TO SUCCEED ARE PORTRAYED THE BEST
POSSIBLE WAY. HE INSTEAD OF BEING THE RAJA, SUTRADAR, THAT
HE WANTED TO BE, ASSUMES THE ROLE OF NACHA, THE HALF MALE,
HALF FEMININE CHARACTER FOUND IN ALL TAMASHAS. A MAN WHO
WAS A PEHLWAN, TRANSFORMS HIMSELF ALMOST LOOSING HIS
MANLINESS, AND RIDICULED BY THE SOCIETY, LOOSING HIS NEAR
AND DEAR IN THE PROCESS. THE SONGS, DIALOGUE, AND PHOTOGRAPHY
ARE SUPERB TO SAY THE LEAST.
DO SEE THIS MOVIE IF YOU CAN ACCESS IT THROUGH INTERNET OR SOME
OTHER WAY.
MOST OF YOU WHO FOLLOW INDIAN CRICKET MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE
HUE AND CRY RAISED OVER THE NEWS THAT THE PAKI CRICKETERS WERE
NOT CONSIDERED FOR IPL III AUCTION. ALL AND SUNDRY ARE COMMENTING
ON THAT INCLUDING THE GREAT KHANS OF BOLLYWOOD. THE PAKS ARE CRYING
HOARSE NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE INDIA OR INDIANS BUT ONLY FOR THE LUCRE
THE IPL THROWS OUT TO ALL PARTICIPANTS. THE MEDIA BOTH PRINT AND TV
HAVE BEEN WASTING SPACE AND TIME, AND MINISTERS, CHIDAMBARAM HAVE
ADDED TO THE CRY. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO JUSTIFICATION FOR SUCH A
HUE AND CRY OVER THE TRIVIAL MATTER. NO ONE FOR THAT MATTER SEEMS TO
BE WORRIED ABOUT THE PRICE RISE IN INDIA AND THE TRAVAILS OF THE POOR
ON ACCOUNT.
THE OTHER MATTER IS INDIA BASHING IN AUSTRALIA, DOWN UNDER. A COUNTRY
POPULATED BY THE DESCENDANTS OF CONVICTS AND THROWAWAYS FROM ENGLAND, WHO ANNIHILATED THE LOCAL POPULATION NOW CALLED ABORIGINALS. THE LAND OF THESE WERE USURPED AND NOW THE SAME WHO ARE CALLED OZIES DO NOT LIKE OTHERS TO COME AND JOIN THEM, ESP. BROWNS AND BLACKS. RACISM TO THE FOREMOST THERE. I HOLD NO CANDLE FOR THE INDIANS GOING AND SETTLING OUTSIDE, SINCE MANY OF THEM DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ASSIMILATE AND
MINGLE WITH LOCAL POPULACE, AND TRY TO ACT SMART. PROBABLY OUR STUDENT COMMUNITY IS ALSO TO BLAME TO AN EXTENT. WHEN YOU RUN AWAY FROM HOME YOU SHOULD ;BE READY TO FACE THE MUSIC, I BELIEVE IS THE MORAL OF THE STORY.
BYE TILL NEXT.
