OYE LUCKYwent UNLUCKY

Abhay Deol is considered as the one of the most talented actor currently working in the  Hindi film industry . He deserves a title of superstar ,but this 'oye lucky' went a little bit  unlucky too  many times .
His first movie was Socha Na Tha  . The movie released in 2005 and was directed by Imtiaz Ali .
Movie was good but not the excellent one. But it didn't get that response ,which was expected.
In 2006 his movie Ahista Ahista released ,co-starring Soha Ali Khan. The movie was good but failed to make an impression on the box office window . His third movie released in 2007 ,  Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.. the movie was critically acclaimed as well as it was a big commercial success. But being  a multi starrer movie it didn't added much to his career. His next movie of 2007 was Ek Chalees Ki Last local . the movie which changed his image . The movie did an average business on box office but was a great critics hit . After this movie he played the lead in Manorama : six feet under . The movie  won the Best Film at the Mahindra Indo-American Arts Council Film Festival in New York City. He also won Best Actor award for his role for the same. though the movie failed at box office ticket window.
His next movie was  Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! which was expected to do a great business but was hit  by the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai. But then too it managed to do an impressive business at box office and also it was a big DVD hit. The next year was too lucky for the lucky as he appeared in Dev D. The movie was highly acclaimed by the critics all over. It was the biggest commercial success for Abhay Deol . He was highlighted as the future superstar in the most of the news papers . He was also working on some other movies , one of them was Junction ,which never went on the floors. 
After the success of Dev D he decided to try his luck as a producer . He named his production house as Forbidden Motion Pictures (but later he changed the name) He started working on a movie titled Basra with Navdeep Singh but again the movie didn't get a kickstart.
In 2010 he appeared in an item number in Tera kya hoga johny , which went unnoticed due to no buzz of the movie.  lr he  appeared in Road, Movie . Which was an art movie and went unnoticed.  later in the same year, he appeared in Aisha movie  co- starring Sonam kapoor . There were many conflicts  between Abhay and the producer Anil Kapoor . Abhay opted out of the movie promotions . The movie did below average business at box office. 
2011 was a great year for him . He was one of the lead among the three leads in the movie. The movie did a Fantastic business of around 100 CR. worldwide. The domestic collections were 87 cr. It was also appreciated by the critics.
Then he signed a movie named Shaadi Of The Dead , which was supposed to be the first zombie movie of the bollywood . later the name of the movie was changed to Rock The shaadi . Abhay himself had suggested the new name . 40% of the shooting was completed but due to the over budgeting of movie Ekta Kapoor(producer) almost opted out of the movie.
Abhay was also offered the main lead opposite to Sonam Kapoor by Raj Kumar Santoshi , but the things didn't went cool. Abhay opted out due to the delay in the movie.
In 2012 ,he appeared in two movies Shanghai & Chakravyuh . Both the movies were avg. at the box office but were critical hits .Shanghai did a good business as compared to its budget. Abhay's acting was appreciated by everyone.
In 2013 he appeared in Raanjhanaa . He played special role in this emotional romantic drama. The movie was a big hit and his performance was loved by everyone. 
Then he appeared in a Hollywood venture The Lovers ( earlier it was named Singularity) along with Bipasha basu . The movie didn't get screens due to poor production management .

In 2014 he acted as well as produced the movie One By Two . The movie was a flop . the main reason behind the failure of this project was Abhay's conflict with the music company T series. T series wanted the singers to sign some contract with their company but singers were not feeling comfortable in signing the contract . Abhay took the side of the singers , which created distances between them. As a protest , Abhay was spotted supporting a black eye in 20th star screen awards .But it all was in vain and due to no chartbusters in addition to weak script the movie failed to create much buzz and failed. 
All these cases shows how big name he could have earn if all of his movies had got normal releases or good production houses. 
But still its not over for him . He has a long way to go . Currently he is busy in the projects like Happy Bhaag jayegi  , Snafu and also an indo chinese project 'Gold Struck' ,co starring alongwith Amitabh Bachchan, Jacky Chaing and Jacqueline Fernandez. Hope now his luck will be brighter ..and everything with him is going to be alright.

best of luck Abhay for your future projects.

Land Acquisition Bill


Nowadays Land acquisition bill is a trendy and one of the most controversial topic of discussion in India .Every news channel is discussing about it , and every opposition party is criticising it . Are these parties really standing with farmers or their support is just for the sake of their political benefits . let's have a view over the land acquisition bill .


LAND ACQUISITION IN INDIA

Land acquisiton means the acquisition of land by the central or state government of India for various development projects like infrastructures , power projects , dams etc.
Land acquisition is governed by  The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, which came into force from 1 January 2014. Land acquisition in India was governed by Land Acquisition Act of 1894 till 2013. On 31 December 2014, the new government NDA 2 in India passed an ordinance with an official mandate to "meet the twin objectives of farmer welfare; along with expeditiously meeting the strategic and developmental needs of the country". The government passed Land Acquisition Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha on 10 March 2015 .

This bill is creating a lot of controversies . The main cause of these controversies is that the land owners are not getting their desirable prices for their land . They want the govt. to give them the market price of their land ,but the govt. is paying according to the already  set standards and norms. The farmers all over the India are also against this bill.  As this bill is not in their favour . They have the complaints that govt. takes their land and in exchange either they give land with less fertility or  very low prices . Moreover there is a huge area illeagally  used by the farmers for many decades . And this bill can take that all land back from the farmers . And none of the farmer will feel  happy in donating the land which is being used by them from the time of their great grand parents .One issue in India is that the records of land holding cannot be easily verified. This opens the possibility of disputes after purchase. Industrial enterprises use this fact to argue that the government should acquire land on their behalf.India is a country of emotions and feelings. And no one prefers to shift from their native place to other place . But due to various projects they have to shift . 

The list given below shows the displaced population in various states due to various projects .

Nowadays most of the opposition parties are showing their support to farmers against this bill . The most reliable social worker of India , Anna Hazare is also against the bill . From Aam Aadmi Party to Indian National Congress all are criticising the Land acquisition bill .Our respective prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi always keep talking about the welfare of the farmers . But he is remaining silent over this anti farmer bill. For the development of the country this bill can play a revolutionary role. But the farmers , mainly those who don't have much land i.e. the small farmers , they will be most affected by this .

This bill could be  a good initiative for the development of smart India but it has a lot of drawbacks as discussed above . At this time , for the revolutionary development of India  this bill is compulsory but only after some necessary changes in it. It should be made farmer friendly and they should get goot quality land in exchange and the market price of their land. More on there is a need of explaining the bill to the farmers in a proper way and their feedback should be taken over the bill . Then only an effective land acquisition bill can be acted upon in India .

Harsh words hurt



A few days back I Read an article. I found it motivational and thats why I am sharing it with you .
Ex Indian President Dr. Abdul Kalam Says:
"When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us.
One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad.
I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at school.
I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for the burnt roti.
And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms & said:
"Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone
but HARSH WORDS DO!"
"You know beta - life is full of imperfect things... & imperfect people..."
I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD AT ANYTHING!
I forget birthdays & anniversaries just like everyone else.
What I've learnt over the years is: To Accept Each Others Faults & Choose To Celebrate Relationships"
Hope you  like the thought.
Thnx for reading .

clash of clans fever

Earlier in first two years of my college life, whenever I used to come back home in holidays my cousins and friends used to visit me . Then we used to have long talks on various topics like cricket , movies , politics and each other's love stories.
But now everything has been changed. I am at home but no friends, no talks. Even my most talketive cousin sitting a few inches away is also sitting like a dumb. His only focus is on the screen of his mobile phone. He is neither using fb , wtsapp or twitter nor he is watching videos  , but he is busy . Too busy.
Now let me tell , he is playing an online mobile game CLASH OF CLANS . Hope you all know about it . The most popular and trendy game worldwide.
My cousin Anku , tells me about the craze of this game. In his clan there are players of age between 8 yrs to 62 yrs. Yeah its true . From a little kid to an old man. From a taxi driver to a shopkeeper. From a  schhol student to university professor, everyone is crazy for this game .


This game has no end . People are loving this endless journey . It has become an addiction. Crazy fans of this game spends upto 24 hours daily. Yeahh 24 hours.
I have seen guys sleeping at 3:00 am that too with an alarm of 5:00 am so as to continue their upgrades in the game.
I have not seen this effect in my village only, but also in my college and in other public places like hospitals and parks.And the most funny was when I saw a guy playing this game while being inquired by a cop in police station.

This game is the latest 'break up reason'  in the market.  It is the reason behind most of the breakups nowadays. Cause the addicted ones are not having enough time for their partners.
Its craze is as much that it has 100 million + downloads worldwide.
And the likes on its official fb page are 10million +.





Something about the game :

Clash of clans was launched on august 2, 2012 by Supercell a. Video game company based in Helsinki , Finland.  . Initially it was only for iOS users .
On October 7, 2013 ; it was released on google play internationally.
It is an online multiplayer strategic game in which users have to build a community then train troops, attack other players for gold, elixir and dark elixir , which are used to build defences , that protect players from other attackers.
This game also provides an interface where the users can have chats worldwide.
So I was talking about the effects of this game . You must have seen many of your friends busy all the time in this game. And you must have got irritated when they ignore your presence.
Add caption
I am not an addict  to this game because it is not yet launched for windows phones . When it will be launched for window phones , don't know what will happen.
If You have not tried this game yet, then please don't try in future because it will make You fall in love with it, and will definitely make You an addict to this .

Bura na mnao Holi hai


BURA NA MANO HOLI HAI.
This is the tagline of the festival of colours , Holi .But there are a few things that should be minded while playing the holi.
Holi is the festival of colours . Here the word 'colours' not only refers to the Gulal ( powdered colour) the colour means a new energy , a new life power .
This fest is celebrated in month of Falgun according to Hindu calendars. This is the time span when the flowering of trees snd plants get started. The cold weather starts getting warm day by day.  New colours of life gets injected In every species.
This festival originated in India as a Hindu festival. But now it is celebrated by all the religions in India. Not only in India , it is also popular in countries like Nepal , Indonesia and the other countries having population of Indian's.
The most common format of the Holi greeting is ;
'Wishing you and your family a very happy and SAFE holi.'
I have given special focus on the word safe . People add this word in their greeting , it means there are some safety issues associated with Holi. What are these issues ?  Is this all about protecting your eyes, skin beauty and hair or there is something else to care about . If there is , then what it could be ?
In past few years , the trend of the Holi celebration has been  changed. The Gulal has been replaced by other toxic colours and mud. The colour which is used in the industries as  markar , is wrapped in a piece of cloth. Then it is tied and dipped for a while in water. And then this Holi weapon 'Gudari'  is  ready for the use . And this is not all. In addition to this , mud is also used .
Misbehaving with the girls is very common in this festival. Some mentally sick guys find  it  cool to take the advantage of the Holi and do the embarrassing things while colouring the girls .
All these things are stigma on this festival of colurs and love.
But this year , there was a sign of change. The youth of India is changing. They have started playing Holi again in the traditional manners.It is a good sign that the current and the forthcoming generation is interested in celebrating the festival of Holi in a civilised manner.
 The drums have been replaced by DJ . People are playing holi , dancing and enjoying with the colours. The use of toxic colours and mud is being avoided .This is a good sign that youth of India is doing the Dahan (bonfire) of the Holika inside them.
If it will happen , then no one will be afraid and no one will hesitate to celebrate this colourful festival.
Be the part of this  change . Make Yourself feeling proud.

Mentality of the girls

Yesterday I was coming back to my room from a ground nearby with my roomie Bali. Bali was having cough problem . When we were a few steps away from our room Bali coughed. Within fractions of seconds we heard an echo of his cough. But the echo was dubbed in a female voice, a girl's voice. I turned my face towards left side , two girls were laughing . Oh ! then It came to my notice that there were two girls . Bali continued coughing and one of the girl repeated mimicking him. And when they were not visible to us, we heard loud sound of their laughter and  coughing oh sorry fake coughing.



Mentality of the girls . The mindset of the girls is such that they always keep thinking that everyone nearby them is staring continuesly at them. Sometimes,some people do this but all of them  are not this kind of jobless all the time so that they would keep doing these silly things.
It is not like that I have been betrayed by any girl and now I have become totally against the girls. The small incidents of daily life forces me to write on these topics.
That is the point what I want to describe. Those girls were thinking that Bali was coughing to came into their notice. Wasn't that weird.
I can tell You some more such incidents . One of my friend(girl) used to say that every teacher , every guy keeps staring at her all the time. Hahahah. Oh common girl . You are not as much beautiful. I could have believed her if she had not said that every male teacher  had his full focus on her. How can one be such kind of a  self made princess.
Whenever a girl is standing or walking alone , she pretends to appear busy on her cellphone. And the most weird thing , at every second she keeps giving different kind of face expressions, as they are performing in front of thousands or they are giving a screen test to some filmmaker.
When girls do some mistake in public, even though the mistake is unnoticeable, they say 'what these guys will think about me ooops ! ' Whenever a girl says so , don't think that she is making an apology . At that time she is trying to covince others that how much importance people give to them .
Its not the end of their smartness. Soon I'll post a new article with some fresh and practical examples of girls.
And  common girls .All of you are not Katrina Deepika and Priyanka.
 If any of You do such kind of things or having such kind of mentality then plz change it. SOCH BADLO ,DESH BADLEGA .

Truck journey after lunch


In mornig when I woke up, I found ,it was raining outside. So I thought it was better to continue my dreams inside my quilt . Thereafter when I opened my eyes the time was 12:30 pm . I was feeling hungry . My roomie Bali was taking bath . After him, I went to bathroom and washed my face with an optimum quantity of water .
Now it was time for the breakfast . Yeahh breakfast not lunch for us.
We planned to go Swaagat Dhaba at Harabagh 10km away from our place. We took a bus and reached there within 15 minutes .
We ordered two plates of Rajma with Tandoori chapaatis.
After eating 4 chapatis , bali pretended to attend a call and stood up . After 5 minutes he returned to table .
'I have done . where were you?' I asked him .
I was doing light exercise outside'he told me.
'exercise? Why?'
'To digest the earlier eaten 4 chapatis and make some space for more . Today I am going to recover more than my 60 bucks.' He said and burst into laughter.
After having three more chapatis he stood up.
Now it was time to come back to our place. Instead of taking a bus we asked a trucker to give us a lift.

He smiled and said 'get inside boys ' The view inside the truck was just like any other truck . Babbu Maan's song Dil ta pagal hai was playing. Small light bulbs of red colur in front of Lord Shiva's photo frame. On the left side there was a poster of Aishhwarya Rai. At the top of front there was a poster of Preity Zinta with a caption 'bewafa ke pyar me, umr kat rhi apke intzar me'
Then we had a conversation with the truck driver. His voice tone was a little it weird but he seemed to be a very nice person by heart. The journey of 10km with him was an awesome experience for us. After stepping out of the truck we thanked him and he delivered a smile . It seemed that his smile was saying ' don't mention it guys.
Now we were on the way back to our apartment .
The only thing that was in my mind was to accompany a truck driver for a long journey of couple of weeks.
Being free, being careless. , being cheerful.
