sooner or later, he shall come
he shall revitalise and infuse the lost vigor in the boys
he shall change everything
he shall bend some very strong backs
saurav, sachin, dravid, sehwag shall be their servile best and surprise themselves big time
the young brigade shall never look so happy
and all will be fine with Indian cricket
amen!

Jai Sreeram!
I have waited and waited and he arrives. What better a vehicle than Balki's "Cheeni Kum". The more he hides, the more I crave him.
By entrusting the job to his assistants, I hope he doesn't disappoint me.
Is all this rubbing of hands in glee a bit prematured and should I be reserving all this for the
Bobby Bedi-Ismat Chugtai-Aamir Khan-A.R.Rahman-Maniratnam-P C Sreeram offering?

an i for an I
The Times of India has taken a bold step in dropping the first person singular pronoun "I", possibly heralding the end of one of the primary and the most unique rules of English grammar any kid would have been exposed to.
I realise it will be long before people will have warmed to this lowercase transition, and the purists will look askance at the ones who would follow the rule in its new avatar , atleast for sometime.
but if there were a vote,I wouldn't give it an aye...

indeed!
one parallel I could draw from my other recent viewing of the animated Hanuman is that one knows the end result, one knows the consequence, one knows the ways, yet for all the sheer pleasure of watching the superheroes go through their share of predicaments one goes for it.
Almost always there is an automatic justification for the voluntary suspension of disbelief, and instead of questioning the materials and methods, one just submits oneself to the process and enjoys the ride.
When was the last time one saw a superhero going about his stuff with an aide, and I shouldn't be blamed if I were to draw a parallel from Hanuman yet again! You pardon the cry babies, you pardon the put ons, you pardon the too good to be coincidences, you forgive the tiny slivers of melodrama, when you realise it's worth every penny you spent on.
You are certain that such fare would be loaded with juicy one liners and you are almost sure at the end of it there are going to be those quasi-philosophical quotes, good on ears nevertheless.
You root for this superhero, you wish he won battling all odds, you forgive his efforts to be more human, more like you and me and then you realise why he is such material, blockbusters are made of,
and then you realise why he is a

RAJIV PHENOMENON
recalled "Tu Hi Re" ('94 / '95 Bombay) early this morning and I wish I could take more such rides when life seems a little idyllic than usual...
felt nice just reliving the entire experience... The stars in front of the lens, the ones behind it Mehboob, Rahman, all contributed to a gem of a track that seemed to me one of the more difficult compositions of the then period... shall remain for long... Bekal fort of Kerala, as I am told it was, just elevated the effect.
and of course the one man for taking it to an altogether different level. maniratnam should be grateful to him...

PAPA RAZI!
Shall remember this period... nice one and how I wish that famed Italian breed followed me too!!!
I don't know if 2007 proves to be an annus mirabilis for me, and only time will tell...
