Hello Mr. Moral Police...

I just don't understand one thing in the entire Mangalore episode yesterday. The thing is, what were you up to? Your chief says 'Maathru devo bhava' is our culture and he claims that we need to 'save our mothers & sisters' - wow, I perfectly agree with that. But are you such insane to beat up your mothers & sisters so that no other person dare to touch her? I don't see your point there.

Well, you could turn up and say that your chief had already apologized to the incident saying "The way has been wrong. I apologise for this. The way should not be like that.". Would a statement like that make up to whatever happened to your sisters out there who were molested by their own brothers [as you guys claim]?

If that does, then I've been taught since my childhood in my school that 'All Indians are my brothers & sisters', so I would also want to cure some of my brothers who are out of their minds and want to try the same way as you did. Oh yeah, I have my statement ready even before I act - "The way in which I treat could be wrong, I apologize for that. But it is our right to save our own brothers".

You also claim that pubs, drugs, strip dance are not our culture - true, I might agree that if you wold have gone ahead and beaten up any one politician for one of his scams since scam, corruption are not our culture either. Ok, not even to that level - have you beaten up any corrupted official who takes bribe from an innocent citizen? Oh, you wouldn't do that coz that's our very own culture isn't it?

Hold a second, would any moral police be reading this ever - coz I doubt if blogging is our culture? Is there any guidelines that they circulate across the country saying what are all our cultures and what shouldn't we do here after? Hello, anyone out there.....???

True Champions never give up.

It was 4th round of Australian Open '09 and 2nd seeded Roger Federer was down 0-2 against 29th seeded Tomas Bedrych. The way Bedrych was playing the second set, I thought
Federer is gonna be out of Australian Open this year.

But hold on, what I forgot at that moment was it's FEDERER - winner of 13 Grand Slam titles, dude. And there he was - started the third set with a bang winning the first game & thinking that the match only started just then. There was no looking back for Federer from then on. He gave it back to Bedrych in his own style.

He made Bedrych run both extreme of his court to win every point and in the process succeeding in forcing Bedrych to take a medical time out to get his cramped leg worked out by his physio. When Federer started the final set, the body language of Bedrych showed that he gave up already & that's where I thought Federer won this match - by winning the opponent psychologically.

That was one of the finest matches of a champ who is currently my favorite to win the title in Australian Open this year.

Jai Ho A.R.Rahman

I was blessed, I thought, to see my most favorite Music Composer with Golden Globe in his hands and with that humble smile. How I felt when I heard him saying 'God was so kind to me' - got goosebumps all over.

Look at this man, standing their tall, the sole Indian ever to reach that stage and get the hands to that coveted award but still humble & with his trademark shyness. I admire that in him a lot.

I wouldn't want to talk about whether the song 'Jai Ho' for which he got the Golden Globe is really his masterpiece, no never. I'm sure there are & will be many people talking on that topic. But what I want, rather every Indian movie freak dream about, is to see an Indian movie personality win in the Oscars. I'd say A.R.Rahman is gonna make that dream come true for every Indian. Again, the point is not whether he is being awarded for his masterpiece or the best of all songs/background scores that came out last year but the global recognition for Indian movies & Indian technicians.

For now all I can say is Jai Ho A.R.Rahman and bring home the most coveted Oscar to India. We're waiting for that golden moment.
