Boldness at the Cleaners

So I hear a director called Anubhav Sinha finds the song ‘Bhaag DK Bose’ vulgar and was personally disappointed in Aamir Khan for created a song like that. He was apparently worried about the influence the song would have on his young son and many other young kids. Well, it’s a popular song whether he likes it or not and technically what’s wrong with the name D K Bose??? What a friggin hypocrite… He directed Cash which is nothing short of a skin fest. Yet, he has the audacity beyond hypocrisy to think it’s perfectly fine for his son and other young kids to watch skimpily clad women shaking their biscuits (:-P) but not to listen to a name which when spoken continuously sounds like a swear word which, if I may add, those young kids would be hearing everyday in any case. I mean unless they are growing up at religious aashrams/schools with no contact whatsoever with the outside world.

The fact of the matter is some directors jsut don't have the (Delhi) Belly. And worse still, become hypocritical in judging others’ work. They’d be better off in acknowledging the bold creativity that is simmering under and will soon enter the main stream cinema.

Fact is, people will always criticize bold creativity..especially those in that particular field as they did not (could not) come up with it due to lack of creativity or cojones or both thereof. I am tired of those who keep doing the tried and tested (e.g. Violence and Sex in Bollywood) and are scared to do the different. Hope Delhi Belly will inspire the kinds.

Way to go Ram Sampath…your next number should be ‘utha dhoti dikha moti’ or something like that.. till then Bhaag..

ITIL Certified Professional

I had my ITIL V3.0 Foundation certification exam today and I came out with flying colours (82%..passing was 65%) :-). These maybe just 262K colours for some but for me these are definitely 16.7 million colours.

Besides the fact that it reminded me of the time I took my GMAT and came out in black and white (640 :-( ) there was something else that was peculiarly noteworthy. I reached well in time and was waiting for V, the colleague of mine who was taking the same exam and was the actually the one who forced me into registering for the exam, I thought what better than to utilize this time to finish my unfinished morning business. So I proceeded to partake in the not-so-fine facilities of the testing centre and to my amazement found that there was no water provision in the Loo. There was just the good old toilet roll.

I mean I know that most of those visiting that centre were all West bound (GRE/TOEFL aspirants) and this could be a way to prepare them for the life ahead but STILL..they are very much in India and what happened to staying in touch with your ‘roots’ ;-)
