Played hookey at office and went to watch Dhoom 2. Not that I had intended to, was supposed to see Casino Royale but missed the show, so watched some 'Hindi action' instead. In one word, the movie is simply a 'masala bag' (hmm, that makes it 2 words)... there is abs no script at all! They've taken the best shots from 'The Saint' (oooh Val Kilmer!), 'After the Sunset' and 'The Bourne Identity' and made a movie.
Bipasha and Aishwarya are not really that much of eye-candy as they were supposed to be...Bips hardly has any role to play...Uday Chopra is funny. Period. Abhishek looks like he's gained weight only on his cheeks and has drunk one too many bottles of wine! The highlight, positive, star, hero and everything else is Hrithik! He fits the role perfectly...and has done a great job- looks amazing, dances well and shows plenty of muscle...sadly though, he has been wasted as the movie itself is a killer... the scenes don't make any logical sense, the bikes were forced into the movie as finally Dhoom 1 was all about ze bikes! Why can't our Indian film makers at least copy well!???

Life is a riot! Literally!
Some statue of Dr.Ambedkar got desecrated in Kanpur, UP and the whole of Maharashtra has taken up arms! (Talk of national integration!)... In Mumbai, Pune, in between and other parts of the state, buses, cars, scooters, trains, malls, stores- every thing- have been either stoned, broken or burnt! It's a standstill situation everywhere...
Me thinks all these people ought to be shot on sight!

Here's something I had written a long time back...
From My Heart to Yours
Would it be so difficult to understand if I said, "I love you"?
Maybe it will shock you,
then again maybe not...
We have come a long way, you and I
and the vicissitudes around us
have both changed and made us. . .
You seem an eternal part of me,
yet when I stand on the sandy shores of life
half rooted into the soil and also being dragged with the tide,
there is an unanswered question that arises
when I feel your presence
in your absence...
Are you really mine?
Or was it just you wearing robes of silver dreams
that I was furiously wishing for?
Maybe all of you is a dream. . .. .
So, would it be real if I said,"I love you" ?
And would you understand it to be true?

I haven't seen Dhoom 2, infact I haven't seen the first one either, so I cannot comment on it but I go by your word. :-)
And all the hullabaloo on Ambedkar I'll say is cultivated emotions. Surely he is not Jesus.
And the poem is beautiful. Flows effortlessly, makes one feel the predicament of your protagonist but just drop the word "sandy" in "sandy shores." It is superfluous. :-)
Thanks
