I saw rang de basanti the other day again and frankly i thought to my self "where the hell is that fort"?? . After that brief but totally apolitical question i came across the politics of the film that hit me slowly one by one. I loved the anger the wanting to kill someone cos you think that is the way to do things but hold on is it the right thing to do?? then you have siddharth surya narayanan's charecter go" no we know it was wrong". then why the fuck kill my man??
i have also asked my self several times over if i am qualified to actually make a statement on the film. i had a friend who had grown a beard in 2002 december in delhi when the parlimanet was attacked and remember how the cops picked him up and i had to go testify that he was just a student who had fallen victim to fashion rather that a terrorist. the anger one feels against a system where 'collateral damages' such as my friend deepak or for that matter the charecter madhavan plays are well hard to describe and can have dangerous repurcussions. but then comes the major fuck up that i find the paralel of the revolutionaries. now here the guy seriously got it wrong while the revolutionaries did it for the country these guys made it personal and that i couldnt forgive. But that is the truth o it all every thing is personal at the end of the daymaybe why i don't like the film is because its all fucked up but i have to admit "it could happen... " on that very note one last thought
Where is that fort??

Musings of a lazy writer

I have recently discovered that most women i have dated tend to hate the fact that i don't punctuate. I also have discovered this is a problem faced entirely by the 'unfairer' sex. What is it with women and punctuation? Saala The last two have been patrticularly trying. Another one is messaging. what is it with women in chennai and messaging, how can you message 400 messages in one day?????? how?? it defeats the very core of me. Ps i actually revisited this entire blog and punctuated.
