Well let me assured you that it is really vogue to write a review after a great delay of time. In fact it's like writing a burial post for gone by things. Yet if you are reading it, rest assured that though the dish is stale yet the garnishing is fresh. Off late when I saw the movie, it was more of public opinion than self made decision. But believe me I am not those pals who like flicks out of hearsay but critically examin e it through. Pink as the normal heuristics suggests, is not a girlie movie. Had Aniruddh Roy (Director) named it court room that probably would have been better. As barring few scenes rest all the movie revolves around it. I often argued people as whether story is the king or the actor? But certainly in case of pink it's otherwise. In fact there is no story line but a small incident and unlike Ronit Roy's famous soap Adalat, they made pink. Ritesh Shah (the story and screen play writer) could neither justify at either front. Even he missed certain p

At time I wonder as if it a movie or a operating system or any software program, Raman Raghav 2.0 and now Raaz Reboot. However, unlike serious movie buffs, who believes in sequel, let me warn you that the new series of ghotic movie Raaz can quite disappoint you. The beginning of movie is rather slow and could not justify the timeline of the movie by ending up a hasty and clumsy climax. The total timing of movie is approx. 2 hours and 20 minutes. The slow paced first part of the movie takes a galloping leap in second half and the final 20 minutes remains for end of the climax. There is nothing new in the movie except a connection between rest of the movies like 1920 and 1920 returns. In fact few scenes of movie seem copy pasted from them. Same situations, same possessed girl and same exorcism ritual reminds old ghotic movies. There ar only songs in the movie mark their presence "Lo Maan Liya humn" written by Kausar Munir, sung by Arjit Singh and "Raaz aakhen Teri"

“From past couple of days I have been observing that you are very upset. Is there something that bothering you? Something that you want to ask or share with me?” wife asked his husband. “A girl……there is a girl in my life.” Husband replied. Silence prevailed for a while. “I don’t know how you are going to react to this but from past few days she is insisting me to marry.” Husband continued. “So what have you decided?” wife calmly asked. “Look I don’t want to leave you but cannot live without her either.” Husband gave the concise answer. “Does she know that you are married and a father of a kid?” wife grilled again. “Yes, she knows it and she agreed to take care of our kid.” Husband gave the answer. “So what’s big problem? Do you want to divorce me?” the question was tricky. “Honey I didn’t intend to but have got no solution of it. Would you except someone as your husband’s second wife?” husband explained his situation to her. Silenced prevailed again. Both sit in different corner o

बड़ा ही अजीब होता है पूर्वाग्रह की परिधि से पार जाना. कितनी ही बार कोशिश कर के देख लो, मगर गाहे-निगाहे अनचाहे ही पूर्वाग्रह की छाया मन को ढक ही लेती है. चलो भले ही कुछ समय के लिए यह धुंध मन-मष्तिष्क से हट जाये परंतु सदा के लिए इसका समापन शायद ही संभव हो. एक-आध बार कोशिश करके, मन कड़ा करके और दृण संकल्प का वचन लेकर कोशिश करो. संभव है छणिक शांति मिले परंतु क्या वास्तव में यह स्थायी समाधान है, शायद नहीं. फिर अचानक ही आपके मन में अगला प्रश्न उठ खड़ा होता है और फिर आप अपने मन को उन्ही घनघोर अँधेरी गलियों में पाते है, जिनका कोई ओर-छोर नहीं है. आपका मन प्रश्न करता हैकि क्या वास्तव में अपनी आँखें फेर लेने मात्र से संसार पुनः वैसा ही हो जायेगा जैसा पहले था? और यदि कदाचित ऐसा न हुआ तो? यह तो स्वयं को मूर्ख बनाने वाली बात होगी. ठीक ऐसा ही कुछ शुतुरमुर्ग नामक पछी के साथ उसी प्रकार संभावित खतरे से जुडी प्रतिक्रिया स्वरुप होता है. रेत के विशाल तूफ़ान की आशंका मात्र से यह पछी अपनी गर्दन रेत के ढेर में छुपा लेता है और कल्पना करता है की वह सुरक्छित है जबकि वास्तविकता में उसका सम्पूर्ण शरीर अभ

अभी हाल ही में मेरे दफ्तर के एक पुराने कर्मचारी सेवा निवृत्त हुए. हालाँकि मेरा और उनका परिचय कुछ ख़ास नहीं था. फिर भी वे मेरे खासमखास बने हुए थे. वैसे भी यांत्रिक सी चल रही इस जिंदगी में नाते-रिश्तो के लिए जगह ही कहाँ बची है? और फिर भी नाते रिश्ते या तो जन्म के साथ जुड़ते है या मतलब के लिए बनते है. ठीक ऐसा ही कुछ रिश्ता उनका मेरे साथ था, चूँकि मेरी और उनकी पहचान बचपन या रिश्ते  से जुडी नहीं थी इसलिए ये कहना अतिशयोक्ति होगी कि हमारी पहचान दोस्ती की जद में आती है. परंतु इस बात से भी सर्वथा इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता है कि किसी अन्य रिश्ते से इस परिचय को पारिभाषित किया जाये. बहरहाल अब तक तो आप समझ ही चुके होंगे की दोस्ती के भी कई आयाम होते है और शायद हमारी दोस्ती के भी आयाम कुछ अलग रहे होंगे. गौरतलब बात ये है कि हमारी दोस्ती की मुख्य वजह उनकी उच्च, कुलीन और संभ्रांत कहे जाने वाले आधिकारिक वर्ग से निकटता ही थी. और शायद यही वजह थी जिससे अनचाहे ही वे मेरे मित्र कम और अधिकारी अधिक हो गए. जिस प्रकार मालिक का कुत्ता भी मालिक के समान ही अधिकारों द्वारा पोषित होता है कमोबेश यही हाल यहाँ भी था. म

An official circular combining two different information was posted on notice board. The first one was of a holiday notice and second was a confirmation notice about nullifying a holiday on a particular date. Readers wits came to end to apprehend it. Few believed that the vacation will continue till the date mentioned in it. However such interpretation was not apprehend by the management and either to save paper or showing some extra brilliance they clubbed it together and it created a chaotic situation. Later on when matter was brought to the notice of management, mistake was realized and a different notice was prepared to clear the wind. Meanwhile someone from the management suggested to strike off the second part of notice as when we are not declaring a holiday it would be assumed that the office will remain open. The confusion can be averted. I was asked the same thing and I narrated an interesting incident to make it more clear as what I believe. Once a person was going somewh

Remember the notification often used to mentioned in most of the soaps and flicks, all the names, characters and incidents are portrayed in this production are fictitious and bears no resemblance and if any resemblance is found it would be purely a coincidence. You might or might not have taken it seriously and believed that the disclaimer is the only part of the copy write act and it's statutory. But have you ever though t that the philosophy of our life is more like this disclaimer where people and place seldom bears any importance until a real coincidence happens and force you to believe that your life is not like this disclaimer where nothing matters to you. On Wednesday a mishap happened with a Delhi height Mahabul. In the wee hour when he was returning to his home after his night duty. He was hit by an auto, the auto driver halted there and when he realized that nobody noticed him. He left Mahabul dying and ran away. Passer by did not come to help him later on a rickshaw
