Besides an epic love story, Bajirao Mastani offers a glimpse of grandeur of The Maratha Empire whose greatness is bereft from our history books.
Each of the three actors deserves a standing ovation for one of the finest acting-with all the distinction and precision.
The character of Baji Rao, swollen with Maratha pride and driven by the motivation to defeat the might of Mughals, found an apt Ankithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17143743862235576191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642145169478102655.post-44635350419593970092015-09-19T20:31:00.000+05:302015-09-19T20:31:18.311+05:30Why Cow is worshiped in India
In primary school, at some point of time one must have written an essay on Cow.
गाय हमारी माता है (Cow is our mother)
गाय दूध देती है (Cow gives milk)
These are two lines which comes on top of my mind when I reminiscence my schooldays. So why are Cows revered in Indian Culture?
Cow is the universal mother. She feeds her milk not only to her calves but also to the children of the world.

Arvind Kejriwal's rise in politics is no less than the rags to riches story. His entry was exceptional and the echo national. If debuting with 28 seats was his ascent to political summit of Delhi then securing a massive 67 seats in 2015 is when he conquered that summit.
The path between his ascent and his conquest was not smooth. It was a steep slope where he came down rolling.

In politics, taking a U-turn is shrewdness but making an O-turn is sheer art. Nitish Kumar has mastered this political art. He is back to where he started. Laloo and Nitish ‘fought together’ against Congress during emergency, fought with each other in Bihar and now are ‘fighting together’ against BJP. The circle of Friend-Foe-Friend is complete.

Perhaps if India had qualified it would have been interesting.

Aviation sector demands hospitality for its passengers. The crew members in airlines are usually nice. Hot and Nice.

They even go to the extent of reminding you to 'save your work' before closing your laptop. Eh?

It's strange how our digestive organs govern our intellect. We cannot think, cannot work until and unless our stomach wills so. It dictates our emotions, our passions.

Lately, the store owners of various shopping malls have started offering a free trip to its customers. It's called guilt-trip. They make an old security guard (twice your age) stand at the entrance of the store and ask him to bow with folded hands whenever any customer enters the store.

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words all being there, written in invisible ink and clamouring to become visible."
Writing is a process that institutionalizes your broken thoughts into complete ideas. It gives life a meaning that prevents burnout, boredom and other sorts of cimmerian darkness.

Those were the days when life used to be a second priority against Cricket. The only thing which we look forward to the week was Sundays.
