In this media-infested world of random-access messaging, blogs and other forms of information diarrhea, my favorite medium of expression are the slogans on the back of trucks, autos and tempos. These people don't have the time or access to blogs or let out like we do; not that these outlets are in the proximity due to the nature of their work. They express themselves on that little space they have at the back of their machines which totally reflects their outlook to life at times- something that can stay there for a few months altogether- comes with hitting the road for a living, I presume.
Here's an endearing one I saw yesterday:
'Gussa nahi pagli, pyaar chahiye'.
Rameshwar's have opened shop near home but they don't have aloo ki sabzi that comes with the kachaudi at Kaleva; and Kaleva wins my patronage.
If I can't do much about tsunami victims sitting around here, the least I can do is not get drunk on new year's and dance my ass off for nothing. Wishing hope and peace for the victim's families and here's wishing everyone a happy new year.
time out needed to pack a slr and a sketchbook in a rucksack, sit astride a royal enfield and ride off to anywhere

data
The most lethal weapon one can use against someone is portable data. It may fly around as a listing in a database or an mms clip.
Once in a while, We chance upon information on people which ideally should not see the light of day as much due to the sensitivity of the issue. Discretion based upon a certain level of maturity is required in cases like this. After all, one day, we all end up on the victim's end.

Swades
Every Indian deserves to be forced and fleeced into watching this movie, especially if one came in looking for an entertainer. Far from eye candy stuff, it's more of a wake up call; at least for NRIs- to whom it looked targeted at, if not for the groaning and snoring lot I was packed with in the hall.
Our main man looks exhausted, probably since he has other movies to handle. Compared to the dedicated energy of Amir Khan in the one movie he works in in a year, Shah Rukh looks fed up and tired of the boat ride, the hills and the village in general. The way I look at it, Govarikar has leveraged his earlier win to get NASA's (United States) support to make us all endure this preaching session. It was still closer to reality though, looking like a documentary at places.
3 songs in this one I liked, typical dreamy stuff by the maverick. Yuhi chala chal, yeh tara woh tara and Yeh jo des hai tera.
Would I recommend this movie? Yes. It stays with you a while, in a good way.
