Terrorists Boycott Delhi Commonwealth Games citing safety reasons

Post Updated on 30th September 2010 -

I had written this post when the CWG was in a serious mess. The media, both Indian & International, came down hammering on the authorities for the mess they got the CWG into... Now with just about 4 days left to the start of the CWG, I am really positive about the developments in Delhi. The athletes are happy with the village, with statements coming from various chef de missions that the Village is much better than even Melbourne. The International Zone, as per few athletes is better than even Beijing Olympics.

With all these developments, I think it is wrong on our part, and the media, to really not give a chance to the authorities. Things have been done, and yes, things had not been done as well. But surely now is not the time for bashing up India or the authorities, now is the time to 'come out and play'.

Therefore, the following post, should be read keeping in mind, that I am a proud Indian, and shall always be one. The post should be read with the spirit of awakening towards our political class.

Sid.

In what is being touted as the biggest embarrassment to the Indian Government and the CWG organizing committee, Terrorist groups from all around the world have decided to boycott the Commonwealth Games scheduled to happen between 3rd-14th October 2010 in the world's largest democracy's national capital, New Delhi.

This shocking news broke out late night yesterday after top sources from the LeT & Al-Qaida informed news channels their sudden and sad decision. As per the official spokesperson of the LeT, "It will be a shame that we would not be able to play with our fireworks in New Delhi during the Commonwealth Games, citing safety fears for their recruits, with collapsing ceilings and bridges all over, and with roads full of potholes."

It goes without saying, that the execution capabilities of these terrorists organizations have taken a severe beating with the hopeless infrastructure in place ahead of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. The LeT spokesperson added "It has become impossible for our recruits to even roam around in New Delhi easily thanks to the huge traffic jams & pathetic roads, leave aside the mammoth task of transporting the arms and ammunition needed to execute a perfect terror attack".

Viewers all around the world, and specially the Delhi spectators were excited and all prepared to witness the fireworks of LeT and Al-Qaida, especially during the opening ceremony of the Games (unconfirmed sources in LeT confirmed this news). The local population was in a state of shock after the news broke out.

Mr. Aam Aadmi, who was looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi said "It is a shame that after sporting contingents from different countries have doubted their participation in the games citing filthy accomodation and infrastructure problems, now we even have world famous terror groups boycotting the games. It is a shame and a tight slap on the face of the OC, the government of India, and the entire political class. They are good for nothing!"

Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the CWG's in New Delhi in response to this major development said "We shall have a world class Commonwealth Games, better than the Beijing Olympics. The terror groups do not know what they are going to miss." In addition, Mr. Kalmadi also burped his future plan of participating in the next bidding for hosting the Olympic Games. Mr. Lalit Bahnot, spokesperson of CWG Delhi said "we hope to welcome the terror groups in future when we host the Olympic Games, and we promise to provide them the best hygiene conditions which will keep them healthy without compromise".

Movie Review - 3 Idiots - Five Point Something

Movie Review - 3 idiots

Director: Rajkumar Hirani

Genre: Comedy

Cast: Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, R Madhavan, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Omi Vaidya

Producer: Vidu Vinod Chopra

Rating - 5 point something....

When was the last time you died of laughing? and when was the last time you literally cried of laughing?

3 idiots does that to you.

Film-making is an art, and this film is surely one of the greatest art works to come out from Bollywood, and shall be crowned one of the best ever movies in a lifetime. The film is just not a laugh riot, but has it's parts of key learnings for the society, a stamp of the genius director - Rajkumar Hirani.

Aamir Khan surely has a magic wand, whichever project he takes, does record breaking business and usually leaves a big impact on the minds of the people. More than the film's own marketing, the word of mouth publicity of the film works wonders for his films.

The film is not just for the youth, but is equally for all parents and elders in our society, who throw their children in the race for coming first in their entire education life, and also expect them to win all the time. Never ever do they realize the pressure being put, which multiplies with each exam they give, and which eventually bursts in the form of suicides and deep depressions. I think, it is the most important social topic ever been taken and made a film on, as the consequences of this kind of pressure only brakes a human being.

Thankfully, the film has done full justice to the topic, in a very subtle manner, with great moments and laughs, which will stay in our minds and hearts for a very long time, and maybe also forever by actually transforming the way people think.

If we talk about performances, each and everyone has excelled in their respective roles. The casting is done to perfection.

You would actually believe that Aamir Khan is a 21 year old engineering student. He looks as fresh as he did in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The 100% he gives to all his projects is evident by the amount of weight he has lost for this film after Ghajini. He totally looks his character, and plays it exceptionally well. 'Rancho' touches every heart.

Madhavan has never been so totally in sync with his character in any of his films. Even he looks fitter, and the wildlife photographer look of his in the film really suits him.

Sharman Joshi, by far is the most underrated actor in the Hindi film industry today. His comic timing is extra-ordinary, and transforms himself from a light mood to a very serious mood with great panache.. I would not be surprised to see him in serious roles as well in future. Surely, a big star in making, and one to watch out for.

Kareena, even though had not much to do in the film, but really looks good, and feels nice to see her do a role which is not about flaunting her size zero figure. Rather, she was told to gain some weight for this film, and it is evident as well.

Boman Irani, as Virus - the college dean, once again will get applauded for his fault free acting, and for bringing to life every individual's school/college principal.

Omi Vaidya as Chatur - the silencer is a great find for the film industry. A theatre artist in the US, hope he does a lot more films in India. Watch out for him in the speech he delivers.

In the end, would just like to say, All Is Well.

P.S - As a reader and a great fan of Chetan Bhagat, he surely deserves to be given much more credit for this movie. 70% of the movie is based on the plot of the bestseller book 'Five Point Someone'. Rather, few scenes are exactly picked from the book. The characters are defined in the book just as they are shown in the film, only difference is the main character on which the book is based is not the main character in the film. Ryan from the book is Rancho (Aamir) in the film.. There are few changes done to the story, but you can't call it an original. The screenplay might be different and Abhijat Joshi should be given credit for that, but 70% of the story is surely adapted from Five Point Someone. The theme of the film is the same as the theme of the book.

A word for Aamir - You would add a lot more fans to your already huge fan base all over the world with this movie. Read the book, and then make statements, otherwise an equal number of your fans would be upset with you, including myself. Just giving some credit to an original writer even if just by words being spoken, would not make your or the film-makers stature go down. Hope this controversy ends soon.
