THE KRISHNA KEY

11:15 | Labels: Book Review

Blurb of the book :

Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual dark age- the Kaliyug. In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar and kills everybody who comes in his way to reach his destiny in the same manner by which Krishna (The 8^th avatar of Vishnu) was killed by a hunter 5000 years ago.

The main aim of this avatar is to follow the order of his master whom he used to call ‘mataji’ and find four seals followed by a ceramic basement plate which manifests the existence of Krishna.

My Review:

The Krishna Key, Ashwini Sanghi’s third novel, is based on ancient secrets of Vedic age and the Mahabharata. There are several characters in this novel still I would say the main protagonist is ‘Ravi Mohan Saini’, who is a professor of History. The story starts with the thrilling murder of Saini's best friend Anil Varshney by an anonymous killer and the police found Saini culpable. To prove his innocence he started to find the reason of his friend’s death.

The facts that the author had written or co-related shows years of research on these areas and for this I salute to the author. The hideous things about Taj Mahal, Somnath temple, the holy numbers like 108 and 786 made me feel like I don’t know much about our Indian history.

Thumbs Up:

The best part of this novel which I adore the most is the division of each chapter into two parts, 1^st first part is the Mahabharata story and the 2^nd part is a thriller cum fiction story. The anagrams like “Tarak Vakil to Kalki Avatar”, “SirKhan to Krishna” that the writer had composed is really commendable. The end of each chapter did act as a page turner.

Thumbs Down:

The exaggerate description about the ship called Radha. At the end of the novel the four seals and the ceramic plate have lost their significance and the climax couldn't hold the pace.

I will give this thriller cum fiction novel 4 out of 5 stars. :) :)

Kung Fu Panda Movie Review

09:54 | Labels: Movie Review

Rating: 4.5/5 stars (four and half stars)

What's Good:

From the name of the movie one can easily guess that the stunts perform in this movie in Kung Fu style. The lead character in this movie is a Fat Panda who unexpectedly becomes a Dragon Warrior .There are also furious five warriors who have different and interesting roles. You will get to know them when you watch the movie. A freegan and perplexed panda whose main thing in life is food eventually eligible to fight with another Dragon Worrier.

You can say this movie is the cartoon version of a Jackie Chan's movie. This movie is the amalgamation of comedy, stunts, graphics, dialogue and many things. Smile will come to your face when you will see rabbits in female dress. The Panda character is a perfect combination of all emotions and has tremendous expressions. Especially girls you will get to see a tiger having six packs.

There are many punch lines like “A real worrier never quit”, “You don't belongs to here.”

This film will make you feel your inner ability and will rise your self confidence that you can do anything if you have the guts to do it.

You can't even take a loo break. I bet you don't want to move from your seats.

What's Bad:

First ten minutes

Watch or Not:

This movie is a perfect one to watch with your family specially with your children. If you were thinking to spend some time with your children then take them to the nearest theater, this movie will delight them in all possible way.

Thank You For reading my Review... :)

New Hope- Our Little Help Will Give Them Million Hopes

10:09 | Labels: New Hope

At Adruta Ashram

Being the best miracle of God still some of us are not able to enjoy their life to the fullest. It’s not because they don’t want to enjoy but because they don’t have anyone to enjoy with. People say they are doomed, but are they really ill-fated?? The straight answer is No, because we can’t blame someone for his/her fate. Instead of commenting on them we should do something for them.

From a recent statistics, it has been stated as nearly 20 million orphans are there in India. After reading this article one think stroked my mind and that is “being a civilized person what i am doing for them?” you may have the same question in your mind. Well, here is the answer “New Hope”. It’s a NGO which has been opened or initiated by “Amarjeet Mohanty, Bhimsen Sahoo, Somanath Chinara, Durgaprasad Subudhi , Anasuya Sahu Sharma”.

These people had started their journey from an Orphanage named as “Adruta Ashram, Puri” on the occasion of Friendship Day and celebrated this day with them by giving gifts and also tied friendship bands. For this they had also been praised by the local newspaper and now this NGO have more than 70 members including me.

Members Of this NGO at Adruta Ashram

The main Motto of this organization is to help these children as far as possible. It’s the time friends to take some valuable steps to help them and make them believe that we are there with them at every up and downs of their life. We have to be their puissance. They should not feel like left out, so we have to do something reasonable.

Till The Last Breath By Durjoy Dutta

10:14 | Labels: Book Review

Blurb Of The Book:

The story revolves around five protagonist named as Arman Kashyap, Pihu Malhotra, Zarah Mirza, Dushyant Roy, Kajal Khurana. Pihu and Dushyant both are admitted in a Renowned Hospital in which Arman is an ALS specialist and Zarah is an intern. Pihu is a brilliant 19 year old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling towards a slow, painful death. She counts every extra breath as a blessing. The other is a wasteful 25 year old drug addict whose every organ system is slowly shutting down. He can’t wait to get rid of his body- to him, the sooner the better.

Two reputed doctors, fighting their own demons from the past, try everything to keep these two patients alive, even putting their medical licenses at risk.

So, can both the doctors save their respective patients life or like Romeo-Juliet two more love stories will die and become history???

My views about this book:

After reading I too had a love story by Ravinder Singh, I wanted to read another novel of same kind. So after hearing a lot from others I decided to read this one.

One reason for which I like this book is because the author had created two love stories simultaneously, one is a simple love story and the other one is a love triangle. I love the way author had portrayed each characters. Especially I like Pihu’s character very much. She has got a very inspiring character. The line which I like the most is “Days are not important, years are. Years are not important, experiences are. Experiences are not important, lives are.”

The first few chapters didn't connect me well but I wanted to read the whole book only to know Durjoy Dutta’s writing and honestly saying after few chapters it didn't disappoint me. While reading last few chapters, I had Goosebumps on my flesh. The climax is really a convincing one.

I would like to give 4 out of 5 stars to this novel which made me sob at some points.

My review:

The Unwanted Shadow is the second novel of Bhaskaryya Dekka. As a fresh writer he did justice with his book. After reading a good review about this book I had placed an order for this book and completed it in one go.

The kind of words he used and scenarios that he created is really convincing.The narration style is simple but effective to hold the readers.

I would give 4.5 out of 5 stars to this amazing novel.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

12:47 | Labels: Memoirs

Clicked By Me

Since I got my consciousness I have heard that “God couldn't be with us everywhere, so he created mothers”. I want to add a saying to this “God can’t always saves us from falling down, so he created Friends”. I don’t know the exact meaning of Friendship, actually I can’t give the exact definition but here I have some scenarios where i think one can get to know what does friendship means. In each stage of my life I got different definition for this enchanting word.

Friendship is,

Ø Sharing a single chocolate among ten friends.

Ø Sharing your lunch box with your best friends.

Ø Knowing that your friend doesn't have any extra pen, still asking him/her only to irritate him/her.

Ø Sharing your new specs among your friends to click pics and then laughing unconsciously after seeing those pictures.

Ø Sharing 1 liter water among more than 10 friends.

Ø Making different sounds when his/her crush enters into the class.

Ø Collecting money from each individual to buy a single ball.

Ø Making the same mistake again and again only to make him/her irritate.

Ø Asking for treat for silly reasons like for new pen, new shirt, exam paper clear etc.

Ø Asking him/her that is she/he your new girlfriend/boyfriend when we see him/her with others.

Ø Asking him/her about a girl/boy only to know their feeling for them.

Ø Knowing that his/her friends are planning for surprise birthday party for him/her, still acting like he/she doesn't know about it.

Ø Playing tic-tac-toe, bingo (k-map) even sitting on the first bench.

In our life we come across many individuals, some of them stay with us forever, some of them leave us by giving a foot print and some of them vanish like they don’t even exist in our world. Sometimes we can’t even share our problems with our parents, but we can share each and every problem with our friends. Having friends in life makes us powerful to face any situation.

I have made a lot of friends in every stage of my life and some of them became very special to me. I want to say all of you that thanks for being in my life. You guys are like my family. I can’t even think my single day without you guys. Those moments which we had shared are just like vitamin tablets for me. You guys make me smile in every possible way and being with you I have also learn a lot of things. I want to thank you all for increasing my life span (laughing is the best way to increase your life span, right!!!)…

At last I want to say that “I have some Idiot friends who will be definitely going to cry on my funeral”.

KICK MOVIE REVIEW

10:58 | Labels: Movie Review

Initial Release: July 25, 2014

Director: Sajid Nadiadwala

Cast: Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddique, Mithun Chakraborty, Archana puran Singh.

Story Line:-

The story starts with a scene where our Kapil’s onscreen wife Sumona eloped with a guy and Devi helps them to marry and there he meets Shaina a Psychiatric and fall in love with her and eventually Shaina also falls for Devi. But Devi can’t stick to a certain job that’s why he is quite unlucky in case of women but to marry the love of his life he decides to make money by hook or by crook and gets away from Shaina’s life.

After one year, Himanshu a cop comes to Poland to catch a high profile robber DEVIL and there he meets his childhood friend Shaina and finds that she has had her heart broken by a guy named Devi. But here comes the most interesting part of the movie and that is Devi and Devil is the same person. So does Devi is doing all this to make money or something else????

My Review:-

Devi Lal Singh (Played by Salman Khan) is the main protagonist and quite a fun loving, adventurous and audacious guy and I love his character because of his inclination towards the society to do something meaningful.

Shaina Mehra (Played by Jacqueline Fernandez) is an aesthetic, simple girl who did her part well and I think the director should have given her some more lines as she was amazing throughout the movie.

Himanshu Tyagi (Played by Randeep Hooda) is quite an honest officer. Though he is sharing the same stage with Salman Khan still he manages to grab audience attention with his superb acting.

Shiv Gazra (Played by Nawazuddin Siddique) is playing a character of a corrupt business man. His presence in this movie is just like icing on the cake and I found his character is more impressive than Salman khan but still I am quite unhappy with his part as it is quite short.

Kick movie is the debut of Sajid Nadiadwala as a director and is the remake of a Tamil movie of same name. I found this movie more interesting than its Tamil version because in the Tamil version Ravi Teja didn’t give his best but here Salman Khan’s did his part very well.

The best thing I like about this movie is the eye catching actions and locations. Though the plot is impressive but the screenplay is not so admirable as I had expected a lot from Chetan Bhagat.

One thing I hate about this movie is when suddenly the Chulbul Pandey comes into the picture. Really I hate this... But if you are a Salman Khan's fan they you are going to enjoy each and every moment of this movie. In all total its a one time must watch movie.After watching this movie you are going to look for KICK in everything.

I wanted to give this movie a 3.5 stars but due to Nawazuddin Siddique i am giving 4 out of 5 stars.

Are We Unfit for Democracy?????

21:46 | Labels: Points to Ponder!!!

Today our first practice GD session has started. In the first half I didn't get my turn. After lunch I got a chance. Our group had given a topic “How India can be a superpower?” and after our deliberation suddenly mam called some of those students who had already completed their session. Those students were quite surprise and mam ended up by giving them a topic “Are we Unfit for DEMOCRACY??” . After hearing the topic, I found myself with a lot of contents and I also wanted to put my points in front of others but I didn't. It’s not because of fear but something inside me couldn't let me speak. From that moment something started bothering me but I couldn't find the root cause and with that the GD session ended up. After that my friends were started asking me that why I am looking so perplexed but I couldn't answer them as I myself didn't know the cause. After sometime my two friends and I sat near the Administrative block and at that point something hit my mind and I found the reason and then I thought that rather saying it in front of them I should write in my blog so that everyone can read it.

I was not actually upset because of their performance but I was upset because of the topic itself. My heart gave the answer that ‘yes, you are unfit for the Democracy’. Then, in my mind two people started fighting. First one is me who I am used to be and the second one is a part of me who wants to raise his voice against his surrounding which made him to state that previous answer. Then after that I came to a proper answer and that is:-

It’s me when I see someone is bribing, instead of protesting I also do the same to get things done.

It’s me when I see a group of my friends are commenting on a girl, instead of protesting I also join them.

It’s me when I see a Father is giving dowry or taking it, instead of protesting I just wonder how rich or poor the father is.

It’s me when I see someone is assaulting his wife, instead of protesting I just act like I haven’t seen anything.

It’s me when I see someone can’t do something, instead of helping him/her I start to laugh at them.

It’s me when I see someone is trying to do something, instead of motivating him/her I start to comment on him/her.

It’s me when I see a girl is being raped, instead of helping her I just simply run away from the spot because I don’t want to involve in police case.

It’s me who sell my valuable vote just for the sake of 500 bucks.

It’s me who don’t want to do the things which I love to do because of the fear that I am going to be judged by my surrounding.

Yes, it’s me a common people of India who have been reading about Democracy since my childhood still not able to find where to find it.

Does the Democracy mean all this? Do you think we are actually democratic people?

Who are we to comment on anyone’s shoes, dressing sense, knowledge etc.? Like us they have also rights to live their lives in their own way. Who are we to choose what’s better for them? Let them decide what they want to do. After all this is what Democracy means to be.

We people are blessed with this Democracy still we don’t care about this. Starting from the morning till the end of the day we people are just doing compromise because of the fear that what people will think about us.

Google source

I always fear that, what will people think of me.. and i feel very satisfied when for a moment or a day i'm able to ignore their judgments. I think when every individual of this country will think like me then that day is not so far when India will get back its Democracy and then only the definition of Democracy will be justified.

I would like to end up with a saying that “Sabse Bada Rog, Kya Kahenge Log”.

Thank you for reading my blog. Do mention my mistakes if any and please if you want to write your point on this topic then you are welcome.

PIZZA 3D MOVIE REVIEW

04:38 | Labels: Movie Review

Movie Poster

Initial Release: 18^th July, 2014

Genre: Horror

Director: Akshay Akkineni

Cast: Akshay Oberoi, Parvathy Omanakuttan, Dipannita Sharma, Arunoday Singh

Spoilers Alert

Story Line:-

Kunal a pizza delivery boy and his wife Nikita are living off with her parent’s pension money. Later nikita got to know that she is pregnant but due to their present situation Kunal doesn’t want nikita to have this child. But nikita wants to raise her child with or without Kunal and finally Kunal relents.

One day Kunal gets an order from a lady and with the ordered pizza he ends up at her entrance and then the lady let him come in and ask for the bill. But Unfortunately Kunal doesn’t have the change so the lady moves upstairs to bring the change. Then all of sudden the whole house becomes dark and Kunal gets trapped behind the closed doors. After some time he finds the lady deceased and becomes perplexed and gets to know that the house is acquired by some evil spirits.

So will kunal be able to come out of the evil possessed house???

My Review:-

Still from the Movie

Pizza is the remake of a Tamil hit movie having the same title and the debut movie of Akshay Akkineni as a director. The main Protagonist is Kunal (played by Akshay Oberoi) who had done his part quite well. His expressions are praise worthy but dialogue delivery is very poor.

Parvathy Omanakuttan

Nikita (played by former Miss India Parvathy Omanakuttan) is a cute, aesthetic and practical girl. Though throughout the movie her part is less but she did justice with her character. The other supporting casts are not so impressive.

The script is short and the screenplay is very weak. This movie couldn't connect the audience at all. One word for the screenplay is “awful”. Although the plot is very good but besides the new faces, the director has nothing new to offer. The climax is unexpected and becomes a positive point.

Apart from 1 or 2 scenes there is nothing to watch in 3D and most of the scenes are mimeographed. I like the part when bloody hands lunging from nowhere to grab Kunal’s throat. I haven’t seen Humshakals yet but undoubtedly I can say Humshakals is far better than this movie.

I would give 2 out of 5 stars for this comedy cum non-horror movie.
