my first step..

my first entry to any literary contest. thanks pooja for informing me about the same.

Flash Fiction (also called micro-fiction or short-shorts) presents a simple challenge: tell a story with all the classical elements: a beginning, middle and end, a conflict and resolution, a credible protagonist.. but all this in a very limited number of words.

The story had to be told in 55 words or less

Theme

Cheating

Heres my entry


At work, he was restless until she meet, the steam they shared, left him wanting more. His wife asleep; she allured him. Her fire thawed away his loneliness. In the midst of all, they then led a separate life together.

He loved and he lost.. his life. Gleefully Nicotina sizzled on with her other lovers.



Results are out today.. din receive da all important call.. so guess they have a long way to go in terms of understanding my masterpieces .. he he

slumDOG Millionaire .. Who let these DoGs out ???

another movie about destitution, gluttony, corruption, exiguity, injustice, irony, deceit, conceit, prostitution and host of other wrong doing which exists in Bombay, in India, in Asia, in America, in the world..

so whats the USP of Slumdog Millionaire ???



A White man playing his favorite game " Mock the Brown " or closer home Indians !!

Since its a very popular sport of the influential few, it finds it self winning Golden Globe and being nominated for Oscars.

No wonder "Lagaan" dint make it big on the Oscars or Golden globe front as the story there was of us, the underdogs, bashing some white asses along with the white ego !! Touche !

What really surprises me is not the director's cheek but that of anil kapoor's (the senility of it has hit his head !) , who plays a callous, pompous and arrogant host of KBC. His professional life off late has been a bitch and this role must be the dream one knows will never come true (Shahrukh Khan knows better that even if the dream comes true .. it is red .. read as low TRP). You do stand as the strongest contender to "The Wanna BE celeb of the year" award. So don't whine .. even if you don't win the oscars, (oops you haven't been nominated) but you do win my special award.

Amitabh Bachchan had set an unreachable president of an elegant and endearing host of KBC. Through KBC he again established the fact that his is the true Super star of all times with his distinct charisma, humbleness, wit, aura, well i could go on and on. He won over million hearts again by his courtesy, humane approach,demeanor and respect for each of the participants which came from with in and cannot be faked through the tv lenses.

This surely is an insult to him. His discontent is more than justified.

I quote ABs comment below

“projects India as [a] Third World dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots”.

No wonder he is the man with million hearts resonating his name.


Well the moral of my story here

We Let the DOGS OuT !!

If we Indians cannot contribute towards making India a better place to live then

Stop being part of Brigade "Defame India!"


BTW this is my reaction to 15 mins of divided view of the movie between my popcorn, my orange juice and comfort of my couch ,, which by the way all of a sudden became more interesting.. (for those white guys reading this, we do have couches in India !!)

So those who have seen the movie.. Poor you !! and those who haven't seen it, please read the book "1000 ways to utilize your time in a better way" or go for the movie Luck by chance !

movies i wanna c now r seven pound, marley and me, delli 6, Dev D .. big list eh .. leave me your comments on them ..

nik send me this link and i loved it .. hope this one throws in more light

Driving .. me Nuts !!

my life was beautiful.. almost perfect.. and then i fine day i joined the driving school!!




the most sophisticated vehicle i had driven so far was a hero cycle, so the moment i hit the road, it was like da whole world is conspiring against me & will hit me before i blink.. my reflexes have always been slow, and now was time i was cursing it the most. i am a very reasonable person but my driving teacher would really rile me with his insensitive remarks. so ya in shot the whole world truly was conspiring.

got my driving license like a piece of cake. that was when it hit me that its the easiest thing to get in India and what lay ahead freaked me even more.. any demented loony could be on the same or other side of the road waiting to attack me !!

Nothing really prepares you for hitting the road alone the first time, i had taken lots of advice from my friends and the advices were remembered and applied depending upon the years of driving experience of my buddies. As expected Murphy 's law worked not just once but twice .. i banged twice in a gap of 20 mins.. my life was rocking.. literally.

after that it was from a series of mistakes i learned how to drive safe.

i now fear only other cars, bikes, suvs, trucks and buses.. no longer scared of cycles and scooties.. ya i have come a long way..

earlier i would sit beside my friends, hear them swear like crazy and from my high pedestal reprimand them for using abusive language.i have graduated there too.. now i use the choicest of swear words that my father refuses to go on a drive with me..
so guys i totally empathize with you when you abuse.. these dumb @$7^ers so deserve it !!

i in past would hate to get my way around the world by using the fact that am a girl. now i blatantly abuse that fact. If a smile guarantees help in parking it right .. then what the heck why not?? if that helps in not getting a ticket.. sure it warrants a sweet smile.. hell i dint know the power of smile.. untill now !!

well once i master the art of driving the smiles will of course disappear.. my faithful grunge will be back .. untill then say cheeeese :)
