Lord MacAulay's address to the British Parliament in 1835.

" I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backnone of this nation, which is her spiritual anf cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture for if the Indians think that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their selfesteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

Nishabd !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to the strike ( god knows to what effect.................) I happened to see Nishabd ..................
I am a great fan of Ramu's work (RGV) . Wat this movie had was beauty through and through .
Every Frame was beautiful. The cinematographer had captured the beauty of munnar rather eloquently... Amitabh as usual was par excellence he plays a photographer in this movie ..
The girl Jiah Khan acted pretty well 4 a newcomer . Inspired by Lolita it is a more puritan version ( i.e. not much sex driven as its original installment) . Jiah is sexy everybody wud agree and there is enuf skin show but the fact is that she being sexy is only superficial . It has nothing to do with
the plot . For the same reason it looks a bit awkward.
The rest of the cast is also well chosen ..

Prodding giants ........................................
Well have u guys ever felt something like u know start something just for the fun of it . then it turns into something we cud never think of. Then suddenly it becomes the only thing that you could matter . Then u r hooked to it and u know it is like riding a horse w/o reins through a dense jungle. U dont know wats ahead but whatever it is u r forced to face it. (the horse is obviously a bit mad....) Well everyone says fate controls ur path but i think our actions even every minute ones induces everything u face in life .........................................................
Well the above may sound a bit preachy but it was just an explanation of the consequences of the praises poured ..............
