The fate of the film industry in india..

First of all let me begin with the bad news...the trend of films being released in india sucks...from super cool robots to under water stunts , from ultimate cgi to brilliant cinematography, yes, the indian film industry has grown as a technical unit and that too tremendously but the talent pool that once captured a versatile amount of emotions in the screen now has to use movie magic because of the incapability of the actors to even consider acting out the simple emotions...About 75% of the actors take a step into the world of cinema due to hereditary advantages ...these advantages are not at all in the genes...its in the green bucks and the power the fathers , mothers and uncles have on the industry....
Let us see the case of the malayalam film industry....hmmm....looks in a pretty bad shape....prithviraj can't act (and that is just the tip of the iceberg), jayasurya acts but its few and far in between , kunchako boban nowadays takes on the role of the second actor in female dominated movies, indrajith does a good job but the audience (read girls) are not convinced....i am not even gonna start about anoop menon , nishant or asif ali....allmost all actresses are average so its not too bad...But the good thing about kerala is that it is a powerhouse of brilliant directors who can do stuff , others can't even think of...kudos to them for keeping this thing afloat...
to be contd..............

Pranchiyettan and the saint

An absolutely absorbing movie from the stables of renjith and crew...all the dialogues are perfectly calculated and delivered...the characters on screen arrive at the right time and the punchlines are funny and long lasting....its worth a watch for a malayali to know about a christian dude with a thrissur accent and how he goes through in his life where he meets the revered St Francis........
There is a light bit of drag in the middle of the film where the film goes through typical vintage malayalam films with the dark background and stuff.....biju menon's cameo is very much appreciable....in general , the cast and crew have worked hard on it and deserve a loud round of applause when you leave the theatre .......@ppu,,,,

inter caste/religion marriages and what indians think about them

The reason for bringing up a not so fashionable topic is because my cousin who is a "hindu" married someone from the "christian" community....the quotes suggest that i don't care about religion being a bias any more than i do about angelina jolie adopting an african kid....but if you utter something of this sort to someone from a healthy, well bred "religiously intact" family, you can see their lips pouting and indicating that they are not pleased....The narrow mindedness of these sort of people shows the lack of common sense....If you think rationally, inter caste marriages are the way to go....not only does it ensure the true meaning of our nation, (sovereignity , secularism) but also enables one to dig deeply into another religion and then find out to your surprise that either ones are exact clones of the other.... Personally, i would be happy if it happened to me....(to the wrath of my mother of course) (and then i would have to find someone with my height range which may prove to be hard).... so i don't really know and am only 20 years old and not an expert in love or marriage or anything related to that....and finally , god bless us everyone....except for ricky ponting(i hate him!)....

how the university sets questions

1. they first ask someone on the road to choose a finger....the option on the index finger is to set a really tough paper which can be cracked only by technically brilliant chaps...the other option is to set a question paper that makes the student feel that he is a crack.....most people choose the former....but then university ignores the fact and continues to make those cracked up questions..
2.Now the teachers are ready to put the questions....they open royson...pick a question...then they change one value which they think is harmless but ultimately the answer may come out as infinity....or no answer at all.....
3.finally they print the questions with about 3978 printing mistakes per paper....and watch the horrified faces of the students when they hand them the qn paper....
