Mile Sur Mera Tumhara V/s Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara



The new version of the almost national anthem of INDIA Mile sur Mera Tumhara ,Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara was not that promising. The original version spearheaded a unified force India projecting national integrity through its diversity. The old composition was impeccable. Unfortunately, the new version failed to touch the hearts of many Indians. It lacked the spirit of India. Ever since it’s been released, video has been on the radar of
denunciatory criticism of the whole nation. The inclusion of the large number of Bollywood and other regional actors questioned the maker of the contribution of these people to the actual India. Well I’m not over looking the effort of the makers to show the young and growing India. Definitely with time things should change and should be incorporated but at the same time it should reflect the reality. Cricket is a religion in India Sachin’s Century is celebrated countrywide and it cuts through class, religion and caste. Where is Sachin in the video??.Dr Abdul Kalam,our former president may be the most influential president of all times, a true warrior of science and knowledge. His Contribution to India is unquestionable and most appreciated. Likewise there are many people who should have been in the video and deserved to be a part of this legendary composition.

Or may be the video actually reflects the true Indians of the contemporary world . We value more of Bollywood than real people (Dr Abdul Kalam).We glue to the TV to watch half naked Deepika Padukone to a talk of Dr.Abdul Kalam or Ratan Tata. May be its true we are cruising towards the western way of living where rationality takes a back seat.

The iWorld.

Can you recall the giant eye in the movie Lord of the Rings, ‘the’ eye that is invariably monitoring everyone. One cannot hide himself from the eye . The Apple Inc is something similar. One cannot simply take your eye of their product, one cannot hide his desire to own one. Like the eye in the movie, it is in the continuous quest for those crucial desirous vibes from the people and comes up with the technological solution that suits their requirement and brings utmost content with great simplicity. Seriously, simplicity is the other word for Apple.

Just like “one ring: in LOTR was forged to rule the world, Apple created the “ i” to rule all. Interestingly when “ i “ is there as the prefix it just dominates everything like the iPHONE ,iPOD and now the iPAD.Well if the eye in LOTR represents something unpleasant ,“ i” of Apple is truly god like and immaculate. Its all been revolutionary and with simplicity as its premise. Truly commanding respect it continues on the voyage of bringing smiles on million faces who appreciates simplicity in this virtual digital world.

WHAT IF’s

I’m always in the quest to know the other side of every experience and the weirdest possibilities of events that could have happened. Like what if Mallika Sherawat was Manmohan Singh’s daughter who was one of the victim of Australian Assault on Indians ?? What if nuclear bomb was dropped in America ,when James Cameroon as American President?? What, when, where, how all interest me like the last ball of a cricket match where India require one run to win and with Ishant Sharma batting.So I decided to jot down some “What if” question which I thought would interest some people who like to ponder on random things (Some are weird ...kindly forgive me if I mortified, petrified and stupefied you...) so here we go….
