और सरकार ने देश की तरक्की कर दी



उन्होंने कहा 
आबादी बढ़ रही है
इसलिए मार दिए जायेंगे बूढ़े,
हमारे धर्म में आस्था कम हो रही
इसलिए दफन किये जायेंगे अन्य धर्म.
पब तो छोडो, अब चौखटों से बाहर औरतें पांव नहीं रखेगीं,
क्यूंकि मर्द घूरते हैं उन्हें.
और भ्रष्टाचार ख़त्म करने
सरकारी महकमे, सरकारी तंत्र को ही किया जायेगा ठप्प,
शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, न्याय पे नहीं होगा सरकार का ख़र्च.
उन्होंने कहा
पश्चिमी संस्कृति ने घेर रखा है हमें,
इसलिए सब उत्तर की और मुंह कर सोयेंगे!
और किसान कर रहे हैं आत्महत्या
इसलिए उनकी ज़मीनें दे दी जाएँगी उद्योगपतियों को.
इस तरह सरकार ने
सारे देश की तरक्की कर दी!
--
अंत में उन्होंने कहा
मीडिया को खरीद लिया ही है
फिर भी लिखते हैं लोग ख़िलाफ़.
तो तोड़ दी जाएँगी सारी कलमें,
बिखेर दी जाएगी तमाम स्याही
और स्याह कर दिए जाएंगे तमाम कागज़.
इस तरह देश में
सब कुछ अच्छा-अच्छा दिखने लगा.

3 Films


Three Films. Just Three Films!? Its really a tough task and for me its toughest task. I feel, everyone puts their creativity and all efforts (except some commercial films) and we need to respect everyone's efforts. Every year we make 500+ movies in India and 3000+ in the world. So selecting just three from the beginning is a tough task. I watched films from Korea, Brazil, China, Thailand, France, Italy, Iran, UK, USA, Mexico and Australia and in Indian languages Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. Subtitles help in understanding another language films but  I guess understanding original dialogues will make films more entertaining.

1. Juno: A 2007 release Hollywood film. 19 year old Ellen Page (that time) played a 16 yeas old pregnant high-schooler Juno Macguff. The acting skills of Ellen Page make you her fan. Being Indian I felt more attracted and emotionally attached to the issue. 



2. Tare Zameen Par: Lot of people said lot of things about film. I just say, I am hosteller since the age of 10.



3. Life Is Beautiful:  (ItalianLa vita è bella) is a 1997 Italian tragicomedy comedy-drama film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni. Benigni plays Guido Orefice, a Jewish Italian book shop owner, who must employ his fertile imagination to shield his son from the horrors of internment in a Nazi concentration camp. Part of the film came from Benigni's own family history; before Roberto's birth, his father had survived three years of internment at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
The film was a critical and financial success, winning Benigni the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 71st Academy Awards as well as the Academy Award for Best Original Dramatic Score and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. (WikiPedia)




Bonus. Bangalore Days: 2014 release Malayalam movie. My recent favourite.
