Are we really unite ????

Now that the 26th January is coming nearby...
i have jotted down with one question.... ARE WE REALLY UNITE ????

If your answer is YES then let me remind you of certain incidences that happened over past few months...

1. We have seen riots between two groups people in Mumbai ...
2. We are trying to tackle the problem between KARNATAKA and MAHARASHTRA now...

With so many issues being pending how can we just waste our time in such matters ?
We have a main issue of terrorism...and no other issue stand more important than this ...
Because in such small battles we are actually wasting our energy, whereas we should focus on much more important issues than this...
Its like we are helping terrorist in other way... they are trying to spoil unity of our country..
and if we keep fighting like this between ourselves then we are doing their job...
And over the years it will become hard to distinguish the difference between us and them...
We know our politicians... they are so careless about this country and each individual wants to earn money out of the post he/she posses...

They have money to renovate their bunglows...
They have money to buy and sell party members...etc..etc..
They have lot many other jobs to do other than serving this country...

We can not depend on them...we have to stand on our own...
I heard an interview of one of the minister while TAJ incidence took place ...
He was the minister who were there in TAJ hotel when terrorist attacked that hotel...
when a reporter asked him how he felt inside TAJ in such a tragic situation ..
he replied -- "I enjoyed each and every moment of it..when i came to know that we are not allowed to come out of our room in TAJ..I PLANNED FOR ELECTION'S AGENDA FOR MY PARTY...."

Just look at the shameless statement which our honorable minister is giving on air...
i should have been there in the place of that reporter...i would have killed him....

Such basters are ruling INDIA...
I really thank GOD that SAVARKAR, BABU GENU, BHAGAT SING, SUKHDEV and all those freedom fighters are not with us...they would have cried over this situation...

Come on guys ... these people had not sacrificed their lives for this INDIA...
they had some other picture of this country in MIND....
and its our duty to paint their imagination...

BHAGAT SING was hanged to death at the age of 23...
Let us not waste their sacrifice...

Lets stand and pray for united INDIA...

JAI HIND....

And snapped a Golden Globe Nomination....

AR Rahman has composed music for a London West End musical, scored a Chinese film, conducted the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and created tunes for more than 100 Indian films. But composing music for British director Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" was a new challenge.

Boyle simply wanted a score with energy and an edge for his film about the travails of an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who goes on to win a staggering Rs.20 million on India's "Kaun Banega Crorepati" game show.

But there was a twist. The perfectionist Rahman was given just three weeks to plan and execute the score. "We had met and talked about it for about two months. But I had to finish it quickly as Boyle wanted to start mixing the film by August," Rahman told IANS in a telephonic interview from New York.

"It's probably one-fifth of the time I normally take. For one thing, a normal film has about 150 cues. But in this one there were only 17-18 cues for me. Boyle uses music very less but very efficiently."

Rahman's task was made easier by the easygoing nature of the director. "I have worked with different people. Most Westerners are generally reserved. But Boyle was different - like a friend, very helpful. It was like working for Mani Ratnam, Rakeysh (Omprakash Mehra). He was very excited about India. He loved India. He loved Mumbai. He loved everything," says the maestro.

The time at hand may have been much less than the Chennai-based composer is used to, but that fact appears to have had no effect on the final score. "Slumdog Millionaire" music is already attracting Oscar buzz.

To start the season on an auspicious note, it has just picked up an award - Best Score of the Year from the LA Film Critics Association. Rahman also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score and two Critics Choice nominations - Best Score and Best Song for "Jai Ho".

The score was lent extra momentum by the presence of Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, better known as 31-year-old dance music phenomenon MIA. Though she herself was born in London, MIA's parents are Sri Lankan Tamilians, a connection that informed and enhanced the film's score.

Rahman says: "...It (the South Asian connection) did have an impact. She is very young. Very futurist. Knew how to take the film forward. I knew her work. She knew my work and that helped."

"She asked me, 'Why don't you stop doing sentimental stuff?' That's how the music acquired that edgy feeling, that you wanted to fly away from it. She was definitely an inspiration."

Though Indian audiences will have to wait till January to see the film, the awards have already started pouring in. The US' National Board of Review has named "Slumdog Millionaire" the best film of 2008, while the film bagged the 'Best British Independent Film' prize at the British Independent Film Awards.

With honours coming in thick and fast, Rahman has a relatively sedate reaction to the prospect of an Indian composer achieving a first - an Academy Award (or even nomination) for music.

"I don't know whether it excites me personally. But a small-budget film getting the kind of recognition it is getting certainly makes you feel good."

AR Rahman is already well known in the West, but the accolades the film and his score are gathering should lead to greater prominence for this softspoken genius from Chennai.

"In a way it would help me to build a bridge with my Western listeners. It would lend to a better appreciation of my music in the West."

रिसेशन...

माझा एक मित्र...
एकदम हुशार...अगदी नजर लागावा इतका हुशार...
CMM 5 कंपनी मधे काम करणारा ..एक हुशार सॉफ्टवेर इंजिनियर ...
घरची परिस्तिथि बेताचि...अगदी गरीब कुटुंबातुन वर आलेला....आणि बरीच मेहेनत करून पुढे गेलेला ...
एक दिवस असाच भेटला...
म्हणाला...अरविंद जॉब बघ माझ्यासाठी...
मला धक्काच बसला...मी म्हणालो..अरे तू तर CMM 5 कंपनी मधे चांगल्या पोस्ट वर आहेस ना..मग ??
तो एकाच शब्दात म्हणाला...रिसेशन...
आज आपण जर आपल्या आजु बाजूला पहिले तर हीच परिस्तिथि आहे...
कित्येक हुशार मुलं...मुली...अचानकपणे ह्या रिसेशन च्या विळख्यात अडकलेले आहेत...
माझ्या बरोबर काम करणारे कित्येक लोक आज घरी बसलेले आहेत...
फार वाईट वाटते त्यांच्याकडे पाहून...
काहींचे लग्न झालेले..काहींनी कर्ज घेतलेले...प्रत्येकाच्या घरी काही ना काही प्रॉब्लेम आहेच...
आता ही मंडळी काय करतील...????
कंपनी ने कढतांना हा विचार नाही केला... ज्या कंपनी ने तोंड भरून कौतुक करून ह्यांना मोठ्या पगारवर नोकरी दिली होती, त्याच कंपनी ने आता त्यांना रस्त्यावर आणले होते....
इतक्या लोकांच्या नोकर्‍या गेल्या आहेत की मोजनेही कठीण आहे...आणि त्यांना पुन्हा जॉब मिळणे ही कठीण आहे...
अशा परिस्थितीत टेन्षन तर साहजिकच येणार...त्याला उपाय नाही...
मग काय करावे... ????
बाकी काही नाही ..पण आपण एक गोष्ट करू शकतो...
नोकरी चालू असे पर्यंत जो काही पैसा मिळेल...त्याचा योग्य वापर केला तर अशा दिवसात...निदान नोकरी मिळे पर्यंत तरी...त्या पैशाचा उपयोग होऊ शकतो...
बाकी आपले प्रयत्न चालू ठेऊन देवा वर विश्वास ठेवा...सर्व काही ठीक होईल...
