Left vs Right - The two sides of emerging India

India is changing, in my previous post fulcrum , I mentioned how the nation is tipped at the razor sharp point of a knife. The ideological divide between left and right is at a point where both are desperately trying to drag the the country in their chosen direction. Left vs Right, Azadi vs Patriotism, Lal Salam vs Vikaas Lal Salaam & Azadi are the clarion calls sounded by the students of JNU reinvigorated by the release of the JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar from the Tihar jail, while sabka saath; sabka vikaas remains the motto of Prime Minister Narendra Modi This is the story of an India in churn, what comes out could be as frothy as a butter or as dangerous as halahala - only time will tell. It is a sign of the changing times, when students gathered in a collage campus can shout slogans for azadi (freedom) and give out lal salaam (revolution) calls while naming the Prime Minister of the country as a faker, poser and a weakling. This is a calculated approach IMO as the P...

IPL = Kayfabe

Web definition of kayfabe is: "In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of events within the industry as 'real'." IPL is increasingly looking like the professional wrestling world WWE. The organizers of the IPL just like the WWE would like you to believe that all the drama, all the high tension performances seen on the field is real, all the decisions are made as per the standards of the so called gentleman's game . The results are not premeditated, the matches or not fixed and above all the game is clean. Yeah!!!! Right!!!!!!! I for one am a skeptic. Call me cynical or what ever epithet that exists in your vocabulary, the fact remains that the IPL is more of a stage managed event like a WWE production than an honest game of cricket. Don't believe me lets take a look at what happened in IPL 5: Backdoor Entry: CSK qualified for the playoffs by the back door. I don't believe that a team with the batting pedigree of RCB could lose to DC wh...

Mersal - A modern day Apoorva Sagodharargal

Image Source - Wikipedia Vijay 's Mersal hit the theaters last week and I had the opportunity to catch a show at the local theater on this weekend. I must say I have mixed feelings about this movie. Now I know this is not what my Tamil friends would like to hear about their superstar but in my honest opinion Vijay can do a lot better than the movies he's been doing recently. Vijay has the caliber and capacity to carry a movie on his shoulders by the sheer intensity of his performance, but unfortunately his selection of movies has been letting him down these past few years. For the life of me I cannot explain his choices in Bairavaa , Theri and the less said about Puli the better. Gimme the Vijay from Thuppakki or Kaththi Atlee has a penchant for remaking old movies in newer bottling. All his previous movies have been heavily inspired by older classics and Mersal is not much different. It borrows heavily from Apoorva Sagodharargal . Vijay plays a triple role si...
