Phoolon ke rang se, dil kee kalam se,

tere hee sapane lekar ke soyaa, tere hee yaadon mein jaagaa.....

tere khayaalon mein ulazaa rahaa yoo... jaise ke maalaa mein dhaagaa.....

baadal bijalee chandan paanii, jaisaa apanaa pyaar.....

lenaa hogaa janam humein kaii kaii baar.....

hmm....itanaa madeer, itanaa madhoor teraa meraa pyaar......

lenaa hogaa janam humein kaii kaii baar.... 1

Saanso ki saragam, dhadakan ki beenaa, sapanon kii geetaanjalii tuu.....

man kii galii mein mehke jo hardam.... aisii juhii kii kalii tuu....

chhotaa safar ho, lambaa safar ho, sunii dagar ho yaa melaa.....

puurab ho pashchim, uttar ho dakshin, tuu har jagah muskuraye....

jitanaa hii jaaoo main duur tuz se, utnii hii tuu paas aaye.....

aandhii ne rokaa, paanii ne tokaa, duniyaan ne hasakar pukaaraa...

tasaweer terii lekin liye mein, kar aayaa sab se kinaaraa......

baadal bijalii chandan paanii, jaisaa apanaa pyaar...

lenaa hogaa janam humein kaii kaii baar.... kaii kaii baar .... ho kaii kaii baar......

Chakde India.....

Patriotism, gender bias, regional chauvinism, minority bashing, all at the same time....Director Shimit Amin has done it all.

To attempt a film on hockey which is heavily ignored in spite of being the National sport of India.... nd to be precise women's hockey here!! And thn... to present it with conviction, courage nd realism on screen is not all tht easy.

The Yash Raj banner has teamed up with one of their favourite actors Shah Rukh Khan, not for another romantic musical hit and those stereotypical sentimental drama.....but for ths off beat moview..

Of course ther was Iqbal and partly the period piece Lagaan (which cashed in on cricket)... but thn these two dealt with cricket, which is nothing short of a national sensation.

Anyways... comng to the movie... Kabir Khan (SRK), the best centre-forward in Indian hockey team, misses the crucial, last-minute penalty stroke against Pakistan and is blamed for the Indian team’s defeat in the finals. And... he is labeled as traitor by his own fellow countrymen. Disgraced nd dishonored for one momentary failure..... Kabir Khan leaves his parental house with his mother and disappears.

Thn....He emerges 7 yrs later, asking for an opportunity to coach the Indian female hockey team, which in actuality is not a team but a group of scattered aimless girls, who are in the game just for the sake of it.

The girls come from all over India – Haryana, Chandigarh, Punjab, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, North East and other states.... with a baggage of class, region and interpersonal rivalries..... Ther are usual girlie fights nd arguments.. which r fun to watch. Somebody is egoistic, somebody too self-centered, somebody is hot-tempered nd etc......The small town girls hate the uber snobs; the city-slickers think Chhattisgarh is a jungle..... the seniors can't handle the juniors stealing the limelight and petty camps create a virtual gang-war which even builds into a mutiny against the disciplinarian coach.

From there on begins the fight of Kabir, the way he asks everyone tht at first place they represent their Country nd thn their respective States, how he instills team spirit, dedication nd love for the game in the girls ....nd finally transforms them into world champions.....Kabir Khan has just 3 months to coach and train these girls for the Hockey World Cup in Australia.

Using very unconventional methods..... Kabir Khan manages to create a team spirit among the girls. But some differences remain..... only to be sorted out in the World Cup tournament in Australia, which the team must win to make India proud. But..... Kabir Khan is fighting for more than pride for India. For him the victory wld bring redemption (for his momentary failure 7 yrs ago) and reclamation of his lost honour. And.... whn tht moment of reckoning does come.... he looks on with disbelief in his teary eyes.

After a long time – perhaps since Swades – SRK gives a substantial reason to write something about his acting.... Using his facial expressions and intense eyes to his advantage, with utmost conviction SRK plays a brillant role. Undoubtedly, this one is a praiseworthy performance from the King Khan.

The movie has a number of intelligently conceived sequences. For instance.... a sequence.... whn the girl’s hockey team has to prove their mettle against the men’s team. The girls lose by a narrow margin..... but they get an applause nd salutation from male players, Also... whn the girls bash up a bunch of eve teasers and another one.... whn At Australia...World Cup Association organises a meet in the honour of the finalist teams nd all the Indian team finalists entering wearing a Saarii..representing India... all these sequences and the last portions of the second – when the crucial matches are played ... including a maaraamaarii match between India nd Korea– evoke a flood of emotions inside a viewer.

SRK isn’t the sole focus of the film. Ample footage is given to all the 16 girls. Egoistic Bindia Naik delivers a laudable performance throughout the film. An attacking forward player Preeti Sabarwal is convincing. Vidya Sharma as the goalie plays her part well.

A constant thread of humour runs through the film’s narrative. The humour is vernacular, and genuinely funny at tht. The funniest of the lot is the rustic Haryanavi girl Komal Chautala nd the hot-tempered Punjabi girl Balbir Kaur.

The hockey matches have been filmed on a grand scale in Australia and look very authentic and truly commendable.... i just loved them the way they hav picturised it.... i wld really say tht it shows a true effort from the whole team.

To cut to the chase, ‘Chak De India’ keeps you on the edge of your seat, even though it is a sports-based film and not a thriller. A sincere effort nd beautifully made film... tht makes you laugh, makes you cry, nd above all stirs up patriotism inside you.

In short.... A must watch!!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY..... :)

Alpenliebe.....

Njoi ths new commercial of Alpenliebe.... I jst liked it.. :):)

Remembring 7/11......

On July 11, 2006, a series of blasts on Mumbai's local trains rocked the city.It's been exactly a year since, and the country pays homage to the victims who lost their lives in one of the biggest strikes anywhere in the world ......


A year after the 7/11 serial blasts in Mumbai, ppl remember the horrific day tht left hundreds of ppl scarred for life. Seven blasts ripped thru the city's western railway line network. Over 200 people died and hundreds more were injured...... in just span of 10 minutes...






Imagine.... Everyone busy with their daily routine and after a day long hardwork... returning back to their homes totally unaware of the nightmare tht was abt to come.....




Within the next 10 minutes, seven blasts occurred on seven trains, all of them on different points along the western railway line.

Tht terror left a horrifying memories...




Blast at Matunga station was the worst one......






I still remember ..... was no keeping well on tht day so left office bit early nd on the way to home, i met one of my frnd nd she insisted me nd took me to her home... i left at around 6 pm from her place nd thot tht i wld get 6.25 virar train.... but somehow got stuck up in traffic nd whn i reached... wht i saw was huge mass of ppl..... everyone running.... long queues on PCO booth...some to inquire abt their family members, some to say tht not to worry, they r safe nd wld reach home soon....ppl catching auto nd buses..... some heading towards home.. some to their nearby relative's place.... i came to know from one person talking on phone tht "Borivali mein bhi blast hua....." Iasked him.... "borivali mein bhi matlab?? he said paach blast ho chuke nd ths was the sixth one....Matunga, Mahim, Bandra, Jogeshwari aur ab borivali... sab jagah par.... nd i was completely shocked.... nd after sometime i heared from someone tht .... one more blast at Bhayander-Mira road .... the condition all over was really bad....


The most horrifying was when i went ahead on the station.... wht i can see was thousands of ppl .... wht was the condition on the platform was not at all seen..... ppl had surrounded from everywhere.... wht i can see was groups of ppl coming out one by one carrying injured.... nd dead bodies.... taking thm to the nearby hospitals. Thanks to all autowalas nd buses... tht they helped like nythng....

I tried calling my dad nd sister but all the networks were blocked ... cldnt reach them.... nd my mom was so worried...she was continuously trying my no... somehow reached me... nd i jst cldnt stop my tears... the only thing i cld speak was.... i m safe.


Everyone helping out each other.... ppl who were stranded.... auto nd buses provided their best services helping ppl to reach their home... taking injured to the hospitals.... Whole night S.V. road nd highways were jam packed with vehicles, trucks, tempos, buses nd all carrying ppl back to their home.... many residents were distributing biscuit packets, vada paavs, water bottels to the ppl who were going back to their home which were at distant places as due to traffic many ppl reached home on the next day.


Hospitals were flooded with injured nd dead bodies.... doctors, nurses were on their toes attending everyone... it was heartening tht the local patients who were already admitted there.... they too started helping ..... cleaning nd dressing up wounds, etc..... blood banks were providing their service by reaching every hospitals they cld.... nd teh story goes on..... ppl strongly united nd did their best to help out each other.


Today.... v look back at the day of terror tht has left a trail of painful memories. I still remember the stories tht news channel nd newspapers wld say abt the injured nd dead persons..... majority of them were young middle class guys.... some just married.... some college students, some who had small kids.... some who lost their hands, some who got crutches forever...some who lost their hearing sense.... some who were comatised... some who lost their father .... some who lost their only son.... nd so on...


I remember ... i was not able to sleep for so many nights......





Today.... after a year..... still those horrifying memories doesnt go from our minds..... still some ppl r struggling to survive.... some ppl r still in coma, some all well but handicap....


Mumbai is running back at the same pace.... but with a fear of terror which can strike nywhere.... at anytime.....


I pray for all those who lost their lives in these blasts .... may their soul rest in peace...
