I don’t know whether it’s the fallout of Global Warming that has started or not, but it was sheer bad luck of a small and beautiful nation Bangladesh for sure that the cyclone ‘SIDR’ had struck this nation on 16th Nov 2007. Bad luck because it could easily be West Bengal. And I can’t imagine what would be the massacre that would happen to my beautiful state then. As I can’t imagine what is the actual condition of Bangladesh right now. Yesterday, I read in one of the newspaper that electricity and telephone lines are all destroyed or not-working. Obviously then we are not getting the actually facts and results of the casualties. This morning I saw in one news channel that foods and water are being distributed from helicopters and people literally fighting for existence there. I don’t know how that mother with her child in her womb can get her foods.
It’s already 1800 people dead, Govt. saying. It’s not hard to imagine that the numbers are going to be more. But what are we waiting for before helping them? Why we can’t understand that this could be easily be India in place of Bangladesh.

Saawariya - Om Shathi Om - Jab We Met
Saawariya - Om Shathi Om
This year’s Diwali special was two Hindi films Saawariya and OSO (the short form). One was from high profile Director Sanjay Leela Banshali and other from the superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Now I know by critic’s choice, people’s verdict and most importantly Box office’s collection it’s OSO and SRK still the show by a mile. Saawariya’s SLB is not going accept that his is a flop and still arguing that they are hit at least by the collection this flim has managed to get.
I have watched both the movies, and frankly both the films are hyped. Just imagine any other actor in place of SRK in the film OSO. Everyone will say such a baseless story and overacting and irritating film. To me, this was a two and half hour SRK show, where he has done all his crazy things and uses his network to show more than half of bollywood’s actors and actresses. So, I thought that my money returned.
Now, Saawariya is colorful and esthetically done and there I finished. Really I don’t have anything more to say. SLB made a film that he conceives in his creative mind which is fairy tell of a love story with some contemporary masala’s included. But surly that does not touch most of the audiences.
Jab We Met
Now here is a refreshing movie without any pretention. Songs are wonderful. And Shaid and Kareena are superb and act like never before. A young and lovely movie made after quite a time. That’s it. It’s a must go and watch.
