Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire, what a movie! I can’t ask for more, well directed well acted well ploted and well written. 

I learn yesterday about Slumdog Millionaire movie when saw Valkyrie. Slumdog Millionaire movie is way beyond than any fiction movie… And, story has close to reality. 

I have seen beggers on street but never figured out that they are forced to do certain activity for someone’s benefits — whenever I have seen beggers on street adviced them to go to school and study. Looking to movie, I think it is not in their hand at all. They are badly trapped and under watch of network who is getting benefited. 

One cruel reality I saw in movie was to make teenage blind by  pouring hot oil in his eye.  I can’t even imagine this. How one can do it???? Where is government, cops, NGOs helping innocents in slums?  Since I have seen that sequence in movie got down in dumps and thanking God and/or  parent for giving me shelter and solid support when I was growing.  

I know every parent is responsible to give best childhood and education to their kid — but think about those kids who doesn’t got same protection, shelter from their parent for some reason and trapped by such network.

If you are not victim as shown in movie then it is big favor from your parent that they have provided you shelter, protection and education and saved you from cruel communitiy otherwise you would have face same poverty, cruelty and bad time.  

What else one could think to ask from God/parent? Whatever you are today should be thankful to your parent and God. 

I really feel sorry for those who are facing this and trapped by such network.  I would definetely consider to help out whenever get right path to help in. 

Kudos to

Gujju – We Can Make The Change

I moved to USA back in 1999 but never be able to detach my emotion from India/Gujarat.

First thing in the morning I read India’s national & local news paper… It is obvious when I say local means where currently I live .. isn’t it? No, I live in USA physically but emotionally/mentally I live in Gujarat (Ahmedabad City). I never able to detach myself to my birth place so whenever I find good news about India/Gujarat I always feel fulfill, grateful and enjoy being Indian/Gujarati.

Here is one good poem giving me pride to be Gujju. Courtesy thanks to Pappaji who has sent me in his letter.

સફળતા નો પીનકોડ ગુજરાતી; સૌ સમસયા નો તોડ ગુજરાતી!
કૈક અચ્છો; કૈક અલગો ગુજરાતી; એકડા ને કરે બગડૉ ગુજરાતી!
નમ્તાનુ બોન્સાઈ ગુજરાતી; િસદ્ધીઓની વડવાઈ ગુજરાતી;
લોટો લઈને દઈ દે ઘડો ગુજરાતી; વખત પડે તયાં ખડો ગુજરાતી;
દુશ્મનને પડે ભારે ગુજરાતી;ડુબતાને બેશક તારે ગુજરાતી;
એસ્િકમોને ફીજ વેચે ગુજરાતી; ક્યાક્ં કંપની નામે ઢેચે ગુજરાતી;
દેશમાં એબીસી ની હવા ગુજરાતી; પરદેશમાં ઓમ્ં-શૅ ૧! ગુજરાતી;
પાછા પગલાં ના પાડે ગુજરાતી; કાકરાં માંથી ઘઊં ચાળે ગુજરાતી;
ફાફડા, ઢોકળા ઘારી ગુજરાતી; પાનની સાયબા ગુજરાતી;
એની ડીંગમાંયે કૈક દમ ગુજરાતી; હર કદમ પર “વેલકમ” ગુજરાતી,
મહેમાનનું પહેલું પતરાળુ ગુજરાતી; છેલ્લે અપનુવાલુ ગુજરાતી,
ગાંધી, સરદાર, મુન્શી ગુજરાતી, ક્ષઈતીજની પેલે પાર ગુજરાતી!

નરેન્દ્ર મોદી, ધ્ીરુભાઈ અંબાની ગુજરાતી, દુનીયામાં વાહ વાહ કરાવે ગુજરાતીની.

May be I am emotional but looking to current facts Gujarati community is getting stronger and stronger in economy, education, infrastructure and establishing themselves in worldwide. Gujju are building better community, ethics and setting examples for others too. We can make change ….and having Narendra Modi with us we can definitely make change.

Gujarati Spideman – Makkad Man – Vir Karoliyo

First of all Thanks to G.G.C. Group of Surat to give me best time today. You made my Sunday.

Handhay Masi na Bhaniya O ne aa Gujju taraf thi Hasya Din Mubarak (Happy Laughter day).

Friends, great creation doesn’t require big banners and here is the proof.

વીર કરોળિયો જાળાવાળૉ

This is hilarious video and I bet any Gujju will enjoy and laugh.

Mafat ma bhare maja ho … Paisa vasul che, gujju o… ane khatari sathe kahu mafat no khatalo nahi ave

Many Gujju strongly believe food is remedy of many things in any scenario, so while experimenting how to trigger power in spider man – creator thinks to use food ( lasaniya bateka, dhokala, muthiya, ringala nu bhadhathu, masala soda ) name. )). In my previous blog “Chatpato Chatkhaarro – Yumm Ooo” you can see food imagination in below freezing temperature.

વીર કરોળિયો જાળાવાળૉ
હેજી ..જી જી જી………!
હે…………………………..!
ઉંચા ઉંચા બિલ્ડિંગ ઉપર કુદકા મારતો જાય !
છગન કાકાનો ,મગન કાકાનો
મગન કાકાનો, ચણિયો…….

હે ઉંચા ઉંચા બિલ્ડિંગ ઉપર કુદકા મારતો જાય:
એ ઉંચા ઉંચા બિલ્ડિંગ ઉપર કુદકા મારતો જાય
કુદકા મારતો જાય ને પાછો જાળા છોડ્તો જાય….
મારો દેશિ કરોળિયો હો….હો….જી……
હો જો જો મારો મારો દેશિ કરોળિયો હો….હો….જી…..!

A year back I enjoyed below spider-man creation but this one beats every creation.

Khud Ko Zara Pehchaan Tu

First of all, I salute to the great Amir Khan to create such a versatile movie “Tare Zameen Par”.

Now a days I am listening to “Kholo Kholo” song from the movie “Tare Zameen Par” and experiencing extremely great joy whenever I listen. And, I bet you would feel the same way if you listen to it the way I do.

OK, so you must be wondering that what difference does it make in listening my way or your way. I don’t know but whenever I just listen to the song, I feel good but whenever I choose to sing along loudly with it, gives me more inspiration, charges me up and at the end I feel relaxed.

Lets try this way… First of all if you are a classy listener — break all the rules!!!

1. Put your MP3/stereo system in full volume.

2. Remember below lyrics

Tu Dhoop Hain Jham Se Bikhar
Tu Hai Nadee, O Bekhabar
Beh Chal Kahin, Ud Chal Kahin
Dil Khush Jahan, Teri Toh Manzil Hai Wahin

3. Do not feel shy about singing louder even if you are a pathetic singer like me . (Whenever I sing at home/car next to chini, she always laughs and gives me looks but it doesn’t stop me, so be prepared )

4. Play song and involve yourself in it. Whenever you hear above lyrics be prepare to sing with it and let yourself go. And, repeats the lines with song.

That’s it !!!!!

I bet you will observe below things when you do above things

• If you are in US driving a car with full stereo system — Beware of cop’s car as you might be speeding regardless of what kind of driver you are.
• If you are about to play any game then you have more chances to win.
• If you need some inspiration in life and stuck in some decision then remember it before you do above exercise and you will have your decision.
• And whenever you feel you are worthless ….

DO NOT do above practice:

• If your neighbor doesn’t like louder / crazy behavior of you – otherwise after this exercise he/she will come to complaint about it and good chances are they might get hurt as you will be hyper .
• If you are in a wrestling competition and you and your competitor both listens in one room and if he/she gets hyper more than you then you will be in danger.. omg… scary feelings.
• If you are in Las Vegas for vacation — otherwise you may fall in debt

After listening to complete song you will feel

“Khul Gaya Aasmaan Ka Rasta Dekho Khul Gaya,
Mil Gaya Kho Gaya Tha Jo Sitara Mil Gaya, Mil Gaya”

At end, “Khud Ko Zara Pehchaan Tu“.

I must say here that Amir Khan really makes difference whenever he does project. His detail in project is unbeatable. I personally believe in him and I am confident that he will give even better project in future. I admire him after Big B.

His few projects which I like are QSQT, Raakh, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Andaz apna apna, Rangeela, Sarfarosh, Lagan, Dil Chahata hein, Rang De Basanti, Mangal Pandey and TZP.

If you have seen variation he performed and made a point with each project. None of our current Bollywood star can beat him except Big B.

GO Amir Khan!

Chatpato Chatkhaarro – Yumm Ooo

Today we had below freezing temperature (-3.33 degrees celsius) in the morning. My car windshield was coated with ice and we were in rush to reach at Gym. I thought lets go and will use windshield washer fluid to remove ice. I started driving and turn on windshield washer but fluid didn’t come out and it started making voice. I heard something funny and shared same to Chini turns out big laugh.

We guessed that voice was like “Bhajia Kha ( right 2 left movement of wiper) and Kha Bhajia ( left 2 right movement of wiper )” And, it became rhythm till we reached at Gym. Only Gujju can think of Bhajia while going to Gym. It was hilarious.

While returning back from Gym, we literally virtually visited each streets of Ahmedabad and remembered all favorites laaris spots where we get best of best (greatest, tastiest, juciest, … all `est`) food.

So reader folks, by this time your mouth is watering to have Bhajia Dish but be ready with big appetite because I am serving whole elaborate street food fair today.

Frankly Speaking — Narendra Modi will turn Gujarat into an economic powerhouse

Two days back we were surfing internet and found interesting speech of NAMO. And, he made us proudful for Gujarat. His motto to take Gujarat in top by improving educational structure, encourage global businesses, and make terrorist free powerful state to give 5 ½ crores citizen of Gujarat their bright future.

Frankly Speaking – Interview with Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi is MAN for Gujarat and his dedication will give Gujarat new identity in long run. His leadership is remarkable and so is work. He is keen in politics and giving Gujarat new height. His career goal is to make Gujarat valuable.

As far as I know some of his personal quotes are below.

1. Gujarat is my soul and India is God

2. Those days are gone where anybody ( alio-malio in his word ) rule on Gujarat. We will make Gujarat powerful.

3. Gujarat won’t hurt anyone by any mean but if someone will hurt Gujarat then Gujarat won’t keep mum. [ int no jawab patthar thi ]

4. We 5 1/2 crores Gujaratis.

According to me he is going to put his 100% to build Gujarat (“asmita“) powerful, productive and most valuable state of India. His goal is clear and focused so he will get success and being Gujarati I am feeling confident again after Sardar Patel. And, his political goal, mission and ambitious is to achieve 13.5% GDP rate, which will be highest among all states. He believes in MISSION not in controversial ISSUES.

“a leader who, after being subjected to a malicious and prolonged campaign of vilification, has been able to impress even his critics with his determination, single-minded focus, integrity and a wide array of achievements in a relatively short time.”

Today, Gujarat is rated as the number one state in India. In a short span of just five years since Narendra Modi took over as the Chief Minister, Gujarat has achieved the highest degree of administrative efficiency and modernization. In fact, Gujarat has become the best-governed state in the country where regional and national pride is overflowing.

Without a doubt, most credit for Gujarat’s phenomenal progress goes to Narendra Modi. We owe him a huge debt for his courage, dedication and tenacity in putting Gujarat back on its feet. Thanks to his iron will and wisdom, terrorism – the global curse of the 21^st century has been eliminated from the soil of Gujarat transforming Gujarat into the most secure state in India.

Today in politics “The BJP in Gujarat: For Modi, by Modi, of Modi”

Gujjus are with you NAMO, you will make it. Best of luck.

Tata Nano – Humor Page – Future India

Tata Nano — Making voice everywhere as last year’s iPhone by Apple.

Below humor is nice presentation of what I’ve said in my previous blog Tata Nano – “A promise is a promise”: Be Smart Auto Rickshaw Owner

India in Future

I still remember when I was teenage our relatives from USA visited us and shared that everyone in US has a car including cleaner, janitor and bagger too. I was surprised, wondered and amazed with USA’s wealth and started dreaming about my first car.

Looking to Tata’s announcement about NANO and India’s growth, I may able to tell teenage in USA after 10 years that everyone in India has a CAR. .

I can see PARKING LOT/SPACE (multi-story) is future business in India so if you have money then plan it right now.

Jai Google Hare — Aarti — Google is iGOD

Jay ho Google Deva Ki .. I am always falling in love to Google and using their site very often for my all research.

In my last blog, I have mentioned that I can’t live without few things and one of them is “Google”. And, I think here is good dedication of real appreciation of google’s services.

Om Jai Google Hare !!
Swami Jai Google hare
Programmers ke sankat, Developers ke Sankat,
Click main door kare!!
Om Jai Google Hare !!

Jo Dhyawe vo pawe,
Dukh bin se man ka, Swami dukh bin se man ka,
Homepage ki sampatti lawe, Homework ki sampatti karave
Kasht mite work ka,
Swami Om Jai Google hare!!

Tum puran search engine
Tum hi Internet yaami, Swami Tum hi Internet yaami
Par karo hamari Salari, Par karo hamari apprisal,
Tum dunia ke swami,
Swami Om Jai Google hare.

Tum information ke saagar,
Tum palan karta, swami Tum palan karta,
Main moorakh khalkamii, Main Searcher tum Server-ami
Tum karta dhartaa !!
Swami Om Jai Google hare!!

Din bandhu dukh harta,
Tum rakshak mere, Swami tum thakur mere,
Apni search dikhaao, sare reasearch karao
Site par khada mein tere,
Swami Om Jai Google hare!!

Google devta ki aarti Jo koi programmer gaawe,
Swami Jo koi bhi programmer gaawe,
Kehet SUN swami, MS Hari har swami,
Manwaanchhit fal paawe.
Swami Om Jai Google hare.

 

So, no doubt that google is iGOD of this generation.

And, iGOD is lord Vishnu (powerful) and Yahoo like Shiva (Jer to pidha jani) so MSFT is like Bhima’s son Ghatotkacha

It is rocking humor of my day. Google deva made my day hilarious.

eNjoy.
