Fundamentalism / Hinduism

I think with the exception of Gujarat and the popularity of Modi and the Gujarat elections, there is a big change. The kind of stuff you used to hear 10 or 15 years ago, you don't hear so much now – I remember as a young reporter, I spent a lot of time in and around Delhi where major Hindu-Muslim riots happened and there were curfews. I hope the Gujarat incident is an aberration, but these have not gone away; these things have deep roots. Modi, I think, is a deeply sinister character and he is a profoundly dangerous man and as happened with Hitler, economic success combined with violent nationalism/violent chauvinism is a dangerous combination.

Politics is a game, and to win the game you have to play by rules.

The other side

I always believed that honest politician is an oxymoron. I firmly felt that maybe the politician in question is a honest person in all other respects; the minute politics comes into the picture, honesty leaves. This is not to say that the person is to be blamed, or he/she voluntarily stopped being honest. Politics is a game, and to win the game you have to play by rules. Politicians start the game with best intentions; they truly believe that they will make a difference. However, as the game progresses, they have to change to fit the rules. But TSI’s cover story, "A few good men.." (TSI, Jan 19-25) was truly an eye-opener. At least, there are a few handful honest politicians who have entered the political arena saying, "My campaign is going to stick to the issues, there will be no mud slinging." Thankfully, there are a few who do not belong to the category of believing, politics is about what is best for the politician and the political party.

Why the old, brutal and controversial prisons should be closed

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Count them to close...

The next in line is Camp 1391 which was built by British to imprison Jews and Lebanese. It now serves Israeli interests and is known more as Israel’s Guantanamo. Detainees, mostly from Palestine and Lebanon, are imprisoned in small cells with walls painted black or red with one small ventilator and a light. And then there's the Black Beach of Guinea. It is said that incarcerating someone in Black Beach is like ‘a slow but gradual death sentence’. Prisoner torturing through beating, burning, limited food rationing make life as good as hell for detainees. The Vladimir Central Prison in Russia too can be safely called the Gitmo of Russia. There, in normal circumstances six captives are locked in one cell and are often subjected to violent torture by guards and suffer from deadly diseases like HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.

Closing litigious Guantanamo prison is a good start but not enough. Punishing and imprisoning criminals is very important and relevant but prisons all across are losing their credibility on ground of justice, fairness and basic facilities to be served to any human on any situation. But shutting them down would not guarantee the eradication of crime from the world. Thus it isn't about closing prisons but about making efforts to make them look similar to earth and not hell. This change would serve mankind more while keeping crime at bay. Let's not the hatred of civilised world be the reason for giving birth to a new breed of terrorists.

If you go through his career, from Roja to Ghajini, he has scored many memorable and heart wrenching original back ground scores.

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Would you rate the background music of "Slumdog Millionaire" as AR Rahman’s all time best?

No, I am not saying that. Rahman would have got the Oscars at least eight to ten years ago. He is a genius and God of cinematic music world. The Mozart of Madras has scored much more melodious back scores. If you go through his career, from Roja to Ghajini, he has scored many memorable and heart wrenching original back ground scores. Today, he is the world's topmost music composer. I am sorry to say but it took long time for global recognition to come and fall into his lap. At last the so-called West has recognised his talent through "Slumdog Millionaire" and he truly deserves that award. No doubt about that.

People are talking about the human spirit in "Slumdog Millionaire". Don’t you think some older Indian movies are made much more sensibly than this?

Of course! Satyajit Ray’s "Appu Triology", Mira Nair’s "Salaam Bombay" had been much more and in cinematic terms, they were perfect movies. On the other hand Sudhir Mishra’s "Dharavi" and my own "Traffic Signal" were based on Mumbai slums and I think we have done wonderful work. All of them had that human spirit, blended with reality of the poor world. But, we didn’t get this much applause. If I take my own example, "Traffic Signal" got the National Film Award but afterwards, no one really cared for it. Though I am really surprised, I know I can’t do nothing much about it.

Finally, do you think if an Indian director like you had directed "Slumdog Millionaire", would it have got so much recognition?

(Ha…ha…ha….) Absolutely not! I am sure about it and it would have not crossed the Indian Ocean at all. But I am happy that Rahman has been recognised globally and I am sure this will have a major impact on Bollywood, in terms of market. I am sure now onwards western market will take Bollywood more seriously.

Eat healthy, kids don’t make you eat more fat but it’s just that people with children

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Until now, most surveys have examined how adults influence children’s eating habits, but not many have looked at how children could have some bearing on an adult’s eating pattern. So, remember that if you’ve got wee ones in the house, the chances that you will be consuming more saturated fats are high, says a new study. Your kids don’t make you eat more fat but it’s just that people with children around them have different eating habits, which need to be steered in the right direction to obtain a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Mumbai slum kids are pitted against Brad Pitt at the Oscar race

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

It’s Jamal versus Benjamin!

On the best actor front, nominations were on the expected lines. However, Brad Pitt is on for a tight race with veteran Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke, nominated for their respective portrayals of a gay-rights activist in “Milk” and an ageing professional fighter in “The Wrestler”. The best female actor nominations bring nod for Kate Winslet. However, she got it for “ The Reader” and not for “Revolutionary Road” that saw a remarkable performance by her. It again signified the Academy’s age-old fixation with holocaust related dramas. Eyebrows were raised in the past when Adrien Brody (The Pianist) was chosen over Daniel Day Lewis’ splendid acting in “Gangs of New York”.

Actor Heath Ledger was posthumously nominated for his supporting role as the villainous Joker in “The Dark Knight”, which bagged eight nominations. If he wins, he will be the only actor (apart from Peter Finch, honoured posthumously for 1976's hit “Network”) to be conferred with the Oscar posthumously. The winner will be announced on February 22 at the Oscar ceremony at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.

There is no denying the fact that the Group has leaped well ahead under Anand and its diversifications have surely boosted both top and bottomlines for the company. But this is where the genius behind Anand comes to the fore, for despite growing tentacles, the group''s eyes have always focussed hard on its core automobile business, that is today taking the company to the top position in the MUV segment. Bolero has been the star product for the last three years in the SUV/UV/MPV segment for the company, and is today the only vehicle to sell more than 50,000 units for the two consecutive years in its category! “The Mahindra Bolero continues to create new records and scale greater heights as India’s No.1 SUV. In fact, the Bolero is amongst the top selling brands in the passenger vehicle segment, excluding small cars,” claims Vivek Nayer, Senior VP – Marketing, Auto Sector, M&M.
